In the midst of all of the scary headlines recently, I thought I could take a moment to share a bit of good news: for the first time in history, a malaria vaccine with >90% efficacy seems to be within reach!

Here’s why that’s a really big deal for EVERYONE 🧵

The heat is out.
Of course, it's during one of the coldest weeks
*sigh*

Which begs the question, why won't the cat share the blankets with me?

Day 2 of New Career:

The smallest thing can change the course of a life forever. Slow down, take your time, have gratitude for the wonder in your life, and show those you love that you love them every single day.

Off to bed, but this is lovely and appropriate.

Good night.

This right here. My fellow ww, if you don't "get it" then just sit quiet. Or maybe go find out what that show was really about.

Ok, y'all. Get your flu shot. I have a reaction EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I get ANY vaccine. Flu, shingles, covid. I ALWAYS take a day to feel like crap and stay in bed... yet I get them. Bc life before vaccines was shorter, harder, and more deadly, whether you survived the disease or not.

I start a new career tomorrow. Didn't plan on it, but one must move with what's happening in life.

I'm excited. The world's on fire, but my new career is in public service, so I feel I'm at least in there, fire extinguisher in hand.

When we finally kick these thieving treasonous AH out of govt, we need the = of Nuremberg trials. So the Americans who still support this can see what the traitors & enablers (media!) have done. See the harm, the death, the murder. So there's no stone left to hide under.

These are things that take a sec to set up, but then you do some daily - like contact MOC/Sen. Every day. Let them learn your name. Get to know your local govt. Support the local library.
Many are asking: “What can I do now?”

Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

I have discovered that I adore changing my home, reconfiguring, using space efficiently. Right now I'm working thru cost effective W/D set up for very sm space, ventless, and W must be portable.

Soothes my desire for "change" and it's better than moving.

Do you have sm space W/D? Please share!!

I am part of local govt. Our fwd facing water/sewer staff doesn't always operate w this mindset, and the lack of trust is very clear. I love Ken's POV here!
“if you haven’t given [customers] a reason to trust you, they shouldn’t.”

They (gop traitors) will not be happy until they loot and strip this entire nation.

No, ah, Mars is not the solution, no matter how much the immigrant nazi who overstayed his visa illegally tells you it is. Most of y'all would be left outside anyway.

We have an amazing planet. STOP F'N BURNING IT.

WOW.
First image with the Cat91 from Starfront Observatories, and a target I've wanted to go after for a while now, this is Sh2 308, aka the Dolphin Head nebula. It is a bubble-like nebula surrounding a Wolf-Rayet star.

You aren't letting anyone down by taking a day off from the news.

The shitshow will be there tomorrow.

Others can churn rage on your behalf while you breathe and keep yourself safe.

You are not doing patriotism wrong by ensuring you don't lose your mind every single moment of every single day.

Y'all. Two states have TB outbreaks. The bird flu has variants that are more dangerous. WE need to look out for ourselves.

I feel like I did at the beg of 2020, watching covid go worldwide. My fam didn't believe me, but I prepared me and them anyway.

Time to do for you & yours.
