My work gave us a nice lunch today 🥰
Turkey, mashed potatoes, sautéed green beans with garlic, and chocolate cheesecake
I am still ramping back up to my normal diet, so I had to pass on quinoa, sweet potato & kale hash as well as fish with pineapple salsa
I still might have overdone it 😬

I just made myself a caffeinated beverage. It is certainly not fancy, but it’s good! Half warm milk, half hot water, instant coffee, and hot cocoa mix 😋

we think crows are black, but that’s because we only see with human eyes
crows know they’re made of rainbows, even if we see only a void
isn’t it the way of humans? to miss the iridescent among us?

Hey can someone let Bill Cassidy know that he has absolutely, unquestionably killed more people with his confirmation vote than he ever helped in his entire medical career?
BREAKING: RFK Jr. removes every member of scientific committee that advises the CDC on vaccine use, pledging to replace them with his own picks.
RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

All government health organizations have been compromised at this point including the ACIP and the reason is eugenics
I think it is no coincidence that they're blaming the same people for disease that they want to die from disease

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air.
After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed.
Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

We’ve posted a lot lately about CDC denying reasonable accommodations to disabled employees -- e.g., telling a paraplegic person who normally teleworks to report to the office immediately or use leave.
Yes, that’s really happening.
Let’s talk a bit about why everyone should care.

We had a Quest MQA inspection (basically Quest doing a CAP inspection) today, and JFC.
There were 8 people! it still went well. We can challenge at least two deficiencies. Though it really doesn’t matter, because they’re not CAP

We watched the first couple episodes of Stranger Things S5 last night
I haven’t watched K-Pop Demon Hunters. I watched half last night, then got distracted by my phone

reading this through me back into my pandemic EMT life, attempting to resuscitate a child experiencing a cardiac arrest secondary to COVID while a father says “we heard that the vaccine was riskier than COVID for kids” and a mother wails in agony

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

You could say I was screwed by this 😉
There was a screw in my tire! Luckily I made it home that night. My husband took it to Les Schwab yesterday. They were able to repair it, and did it for free 🥰
