📣 UPDATE: OK, still working with some others to figure out the best way to present it all, but in the meantime here's the first batch of links to the most-recent archived versions of every page at the CDC prior to the Trump/Musk Purge:

In which I provide links to archived versions of every CDC.gov page available pre-purge (Part 1 of 15)

when u make a silly joke on this platform

5 panel comic

Panel 1: Pink guy saying: I just made a silly joke!

Panel 2: Pink guy turns to see a door swing open, revealing a Weird Greenish Guy in the doorway

Panels 3-5: Weird greenish guy begins to walk towards Pink Guy in a very creepy manner. He says: I’m Gonna take it SERIOUSLY

By panel 5 Weird Guy has Pink Guy in a death grip. He’s going to throttle him for having the audacity to tell a silly joke on social media

Do I have any Philly friends who would be down to do some volunteer work for Skype a scientist in the next week or so 😅 I mayyyyy have gotten myself slightly in over my head. Need help with folding, ribbon tying, counting…nothing hard. Just repetitive.

Do things feel very unsettled and hopeless right now? Hard to find the small pieces of wonder and joy among the dystopian headlines?

Let me fill your feed with a little bit of beauty and serenity. Wishing you peace amidst the chaos. Here's my local mountain:

#365Minerals version two starts tomorrow! For those of you who don't know, back in 2018 (seven years ago!!!) I tweeted daily mineral facts and photos for a whole year. I'll be doing it again in 2025 but I'll only use photos of NHM specimens #minerals #SciComm #geology 🧪⚒️

Screenshot of two of my tweets (dated 1st January 2018) from my Twitter archive.

Tweet 1: Quite a few people are doing #365Papers. How about #365Minerals? #MineralMonday

Tweet 2: A mineral a day keeps the doctor away. This is going to be a looong thread #365Minerals
