"Supermarket Cake is an innovative insurance option that allows you to skip tedious, traditional healthcare procedures such as 'seeing a doctor,' and 'surgery' to get straight to what makes you feel better: shoveling cheap grocery store cake into your cake hole."

Halloween is a wonderful night to be an empty nester. I encourage the kids to take extra candy, I don’t sweat it when they forget to say thank you, and the sugar overload is not my problem.

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan. I never made it out of the House.

The West Coast Health Alliance, comprised of Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii, has issued its unified vaccine recommendations for the 2025-26 respiratory virus season, including the flu vaccine for everyone ages 6 months and older, and the COVID-19 shot for "all who choose protection."

i do not think it can be overstated at this point that we do not know who killed charlie kirk or why they did it.

Cal!

The revolution is full of 60-year-old women who love their trans kids.

Andiamo!

When you enroll in a graduate program in public health, the intro lectures tout vaccines as “the greatest public health achievement of the 20th century” so many times that you get tired of hearing it.

I sent my brother a recipe, and he said he would share it with my nephew, and I added “Double the zest,” and now I feel like that’s really good advice for life.

They are called vaccine-preventable diseases for a reason.

One of my greatest points of professional pride is that I earned my MPH at the same university where Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine. #hailtopitt

My favorite part of the super bowl is saying “it’s baseball season” when it's over.

Remembering the long ago Super Bowl Sunday when my sister and I ignored the game and went to the Hill Top Steakhouse on Rte. 1 in Saugus

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.

I'm just going to (re)post this whenever I need to remind myself. Maybe it'll help you too? 1. Focus on things in your control & take ONE action there. 2. Limit your inputs. You can't help if you're paralyzed.

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern. #upcycling

"Was Bishop Mariann Budde right to call for the protection of migrants and LGBTQ kids at the National Prayer Service?" Yes, she's allowed to talk about Christ's teachings at a church service. Next question.

I am so impressed with the shawls in this week's #showmeyourknits. I stick to the easier patterns. This one is Curvy Moon, on Ravelry.
