#sissycat is mad. As we prepare for the entire subfloor to be ripped out of the bedroom, dining room, kitchen and office, a temporary door was installed today to the living room so when the work starts, she can be contained. She does not like that door. We will be living in the living room for […]

Wow, I just got an email back from the ag minister, saying that they are pausing sales of Crown lands. Once in a while, complaining loudly to your government reps actually makes a difference, so keep doing it!

Trump clearly decided that rapid identification of public health threats to the U.S. is something that only Democrats want.

Public health largely began in the military because once upon a time, leaders understood that disease is the greatest threat to militarily readiness. That’s over.

Apart from undermining military readiness with the destruction of the CDC, national security is also threatened by a sick population.

Yes, to me the inhumanity of The Regime and the harm to the average person is most important.

But to many, the only thing they care about is national security.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"
