I’m mainly disappointed because I really wanted to hear national newscasters have to say, “Big Dumper.” #Mariners

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.
I am a Seattleite who was raised in Ohio by two MSU alums. I’m not sure what to feel right now.
We won, and I was still mad.
My older child had gone to the restroom for a few minutes, and loudly asked “WHAT HAPPENED?” on their return.
Or, as I refer to that test, “The MotherF***er Mutation.”
Subtle and understated, just like Trump.
In a calm, low voice…”How are you going to spell that in your note?”

Props to all the OBs out there. Absolutely badass profession. Sorry these creeps are making your job harder.
It’s always nice when, so many are telling us we will be replaced by AI, we can pull out a victory and say, “Not Today, Satan.”

We’ve always given MMR and varicella separately for toddlers, so I was perfectly happy to let them argue this and they can consider it a win.
Hep B, on the other hand…

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
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.
My oldest received their first hepatitis B vaccine before they were put into my arms, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
~40% of Hepatitis B infections are caught in childhood. It is contagious enough that it can be spread just from sharing common household objects.

The chance of chronic infection (ie does not clear, and is associated with high rates of liver failure and cancer) ranges from 50%-90% in this age group.
There’s a rumor that Kennedy’s revised, biased ACIP will move hepatitisB age up to 4, creating real access issues to parents that want to to protect babies and setting babies up for lifelong harm.

Trying to explain to someone why they aren’t feeling better after a year of IV ceftriaxone is because they don’t have Lyme to begin with…
There is so much to love about The Pitt, but Katherine LaNasa’s perfect Pittsburgh accent was one of the best parts.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

About this Florida vaccine story:

When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.

We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.

“Oh, they’d have died.”

Nobody is talking about this, but Casey Means was nominated as surgeon general on and referred to the Senate HELP Committee on June 2. As of July 31, the committee has not advanced her nomination due to missing paperwork.

The Surgeon General has to have a medical license, which she does not have.
So I finally get to see Messi play in person? #SeattleSounders
