Joking with a friend:
Them: “Didn’t you try pulling yourself up by your bootstraps back then?”
Me: “LOL how could I? I was too broke for boots, I only had sandals back then. And the straps kept snapping!” 🤣
You gotta laugh so you don’t cry!

Gooooood morning #writers! After a long hiatus (and a lot of prep work) I’m back to drafting! Finally finished drafting chapter 1 before walking my dog this morning.
What’s everybody working on?

No flags at half mast to honor a fallen hero
If extremist violence is the problem, why does addressing it depend on who pulls the trigger?

You might've seen a CDC press release today about new vaccine recs
In it, Jim "I hate vaccines" O'Neill spews misinfo
Tl;dr: Covid and measles-mumps-rubella+varicella vax recs should effectively be the same as before (assuming no HHS tweaks to ACIP rec language)
We read it so you don’t have to

Rumor (but we’re gonna guess it’s not wrong):
HHS told Monarez to fire Dan Jernigan, Demetre Daskalakis, and Deb Houry. She refused. Then they fired her and said they would still fire all of three of them, so they all resigned.

Yesterday there was an attempted mass murder of CDC staff and yet RFK the Lesser has not directly spoken to the head of the CDC. Not a single word condemning the violence from him or the President.
Turns out T injections and methylene blue can’t fill the empty space where a heart would.

I’ll be honest y’all, this week hasn’t been great in terms of word count. Oversleeping, migraine, exhausted after work - reasons on reasons for not focusing on writing. I did have huge inspiration for a new plot point that will make this story so much richer…I’ll take that win.
