So Trump has now forbidden the U.S. Centers for Disease Control from working with the World Health Organization. I am beyond words. The next four years are going to be an absolute shitshow.

Hello everybody! I left Twitter for Mastodon when Elon first started musing about buying it, and I have been watching the ensuing dumpster fire from afar. I no longer have any social media (except Mastodon, which I rarely use), and I only read selected subreddits on Reddit anonymously.
