That was the weirdest end to an NFL game I've ever seen.

These kids (trans, gender-expansive) deserve a summer camp that will accept who they are, now more than ever.
@theradr.bsky.social I was going to send out the EOY appeal for scholarship funding for Camp Indigo Point today but I’m caught up trying to line up care for my daughter before the rules go into effect. Can you spare another shout out? 💕

This is obscene. And who's going to enforce this, and what are they are going to do with all that data?
NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.

The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.

Below is the full, mind-blowing list.

I got an MMR booster earlier this year.

Measles is one of the most contagious diseases on the planet. Don't take chances with your health or your loved ones' health.

More milkweed, and therefore more monarchs, is a good, good thing.
Garden & outdoorsy folk, please spread this news: The great people at Monarch Watch have a program where schools, nonprofits & large restoration projects can apply for FREE MILKWEED (only thing Monarch caterpillars eat, can't have too much of it IMO). Check it out! monarchwatch.org/bring-back-t...

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

I just got a call from my primary doc.

Her: "Are you going to be on Medicare (by the time of my next visit)?"
Me: "Yes."
"OK, we have to change the type of visit then."
"Oh?"
"Yes, you'll now be having a 'Welcome to Medicare' visit."
I start laughing my ass off. (1/2)

Does Pantone have pending legal issues with the White House?
Pantone’s 2026 color of the year is technically not a color at all — meet Cloud Dancer, the first-ever white shade to receive the designation from the world’s color authority.
Pantone makes a surprising choice for its 2026 color of the year
We did not see that coming.

Given that this week's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting is likely to exclude actual scientific experts, I'm downloading the current schedule for adults today. You can find all guidelines at the link, and I'd download them now if you want science-based info. #vaccines #cdc #ACIP
