We think it’s fall, clearly. But this tree sure is pretty and fall is my second favorite color!

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.

Speaks for itself.

Yeah cause kids don’t lie about this stuff…

Would love to, but may not be permitted. And it doesn’t seem to be available yet where we are.

Maybe there’s something that could help prevent this…🤔

I’m in a union! Proud to be.

Wear a mask. Get the vaccine.

I refuse to drop safety protocols to potentially saddle my kids with a parent who’s incapable of living life to the fullest. I refuse to steal my children’s childhood by dropping safety, too.

New variant dropped. Following nimbus, we now have stratus. Why we’re naming these for cloud forms…🤷‍♀️ vaccines and masking help prevent spread! Get your booster AND wear a well-fitted n95 mask to protect yourself and others! Especially those in high risk communities. Link in comments.

Adjunct job #2! Interviewed yesterday. Offered the job today. Less than 24 hours between.🎉

Masks for all those spaces that don’t have any purification.

Not I. Mask up. I will not be responsible for my kids taking care of me prematurely OR for losing their fervor due to my negligence.

Covid is NOT mild,
ANYONE can get LONG COVID,
Even a CHILD.

Mask Up.

Long Covid has been our concern for several years. It’s not well understood, the only prevention is preventing infection, there’s no cure. We’ll mask until those things change.
