Retired veterinarian. I care about history, science and critical thinking. No patience with antivaxxers, climate change deniers and Trumpism. No DMs, please.

I never miss a booster. And I always mask in public. Last time I was sick (other than chemo-related, which is a whole different thing) was October of 2019. And my people are those who respect that and do the same to protect me, themselves, and others in the community.

A terrific turnout and a wonderful afternoon in Corvallis. My good boy Trust was there with me.

Thank you! I’m one of them. I had the measles as a child, but when I had my titer checked, it was low. I can’t boost my immunity because of my immune status, so I need to rely on those around me.

I am American. My mother immigrated from England. My father was the son of immigrants from Scotland and Ireland. I believe that most Americans do care about other people, regardless of immigration status, color, religion, or sexual orientation. And that there more of us than of those who spew hate.

Just to be clear - the MAGA freaks are celebrating sugary cola (39g/12oz!) as a β€œhealth” victory while they are bringing back asbestos, paraquat (one of the most toxic pesticides to exist), eliminating clean water and air protections, and more than 10 million Americans are losing healthcare coverage

Measles, anyone?

I put in the right answer thinking that it would be rejectedβ€”and it wasn’t. As far as I’m concerned, it’s not a word.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

Retired horse vet here. Yep, it happens a lot. So many people think that just because horses can sleep standing that they always sleep standing.

A very well done show, and I understand that in the UK it’s being shown in schools, with discussion sessions afterwards, in that age group. Sadly unlikely here in the US.
