Ralph Abraham, CDC’s new deputy director: - halted Louisiana’s mass vaccination campaign - promoted discredited treatments like ivermectin - delayed deadly whooping cough outbreak warnings - backed anti-fluoride policies - fought to repeal ACA He should not be making national health decisions!

Australia's Heart Foundation just launched an info campaign on the harms of COVID to cardiovascular health - good to see! But current vaccines only reduce risk of heart damage, they do not eliminate it. We need masking, clean indoor air, better prevention & next gen vaccines

If you're a fairy in #SecondLife or, you want to be, head on over to Obscyra for some wings!

Five years ago, we all applauded nurses, public health, and health care workers every evening for saving lives. Today, the federal government does not consider these workers professional. This says everything about the state of US health care.

It’s that time of year again. My big winter sale is on now, with 25% off everything until the 3rd of December. So if dragons, dinosaurs and discounts are your thing, see here for details. 👇 dragonsofwales.etsy.com

To be clear, all MAHA has accomplished is putting cane sugar into Coke and removing red food dye. They’ve also destroyed the CDC and public confidence in vaccines. They claim to want “healthy living” yet we’re getting forever chemicals in our food. It was never about health.

The 3 other fairy wings sold quickly this time - nice change from the slow sales before - and just this set of Aphrodite wings in Rose Gold are left: fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/products/aph... #handmade #artsandcrafts #fairy

New pretties about to drop, tonight! There will also be a repeat or two, more info here: www.fancyfairy.com/news/2025/11...

Scoop: The CDC is moving to end telework agreements for employees with disabilities — again www.statnews.com/2025/11/21/c...

This is super exciting - mRNA vaccine against EBV enters early stage phase 2 trial in 180 people with a recent MS diagnosis. The virus is known to play a significant role in its development www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

A few days ago I shared a video of Mercedes Wells, a black woman in labour who had been kicked out of the hospital & gave birth roadside. The doctor and nurse who kicked her out have been fired. Black women have the highest maternal mortality in the country, and misogynoir plays a big role.

My hand hurts just thinking about how long this beautiful piece must have taken!

Republicans admit their plan to double ACA premiums & throw 15M off health care is a disaster. Trump’s “big idea” — a one-time check of AT MOST $6,500 — won't even cover cancer treatment or childbirth. Health care is a human right. It's time to expand Medicare & cut drug prices.

I got diagnosed just in time for all this BS 🫠

Sending all the love to our trans community members, while we grieve those we've lost on this Trans Day Of Remembrance. (For those who aren't aware: the autistic community has more trans people in it than the non-autistic one does, so our community wins.) #TDOR www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1...

In other news, they’ve renamed themselves the kkkoast guard

Excellent reporting from @natlash.bsky.social illustrating the high likelihood that bird flu is airborne, the clusterfuck approach to (not) vaccinating flocks, and the threat to our food chain. @altusda.altgov.info

Arvydas tarot, an older piece! #dnd 🤗

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

Apparently it's Bill Clinton's nickname, & 'bubba' is also a term used by pedophiles for young boys, so, either way, he will never live this down. It didn't read as a joke to me. Was this Putin's leverage all along? Is this the kind of dirt Trump has on GOP members of congress too?

Dismantling pandemic preparedness @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

If there were any decent and respectable leaders left in the Republican Party, they would be sitting Trump down and telling him it’s over. They did it with Nixon. How sad that we’re longing for the days of Nixon?!?!

Since the aurora borealis will be dancing across the skies tonight (and some last night too), let's take a moment to celebrate this stunning natural phenomenon with some art featuring it! . "The Avarosan Vision" (2018 commission)

If you're not watching Pluribus, you're missing out. The first 2 episodes were amazing, and terrifying, and darkly funny! I can't wait for the next one

Oh HELL no

Rep Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) in her introductory floor speech said she’s ready to sign the Jeffrey Epstein discharge petition right now

I've got my new mesh version of the Titania wings, and a corset & skirt set out at the Fae Faire Autumnal Event in Second Life right now, as well as a hunt item! Demos available: maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/S... #secondlife #secondlifecreator #3Dart #digitalart #SLfairy #FaeFaire

Thanks for your service to the community❤️🏳️‍🌈🥰

Tennessee, where they treat the presence of “transgender books” more seriously than a deadly and disabling virus like Covid. Emergency closure and quarantine for books. We’ve lost the plot (get it?)

self-doubt is part of the process!

As news was breaking of that three more people were murdered in a Caribbean boat strike… Hegseth was on stage at the Fox Patriot Awards cracking jokes about how Trump announces bombings on Truth Social. They’re murdering people on a regular basis and joking about it 77 people dead & counting

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

Had a sprinkle of hope with my breakfast, I might even try some optimism with dinner. May this be the beginning of the end of fascism.

Yooooooo big ups to voters who understood the assignment, and a very merry go fuck yourself to Trump and everyone who supports him. The beginning of the end of him is upon us.

Breaking: A UPS plane has crashed in Louisville Kentucky immediately after take off. If you live within 5 miles of the airport you’re ordered to shelter in place. There’s thick smoke that will be a health hazard. The videos circulating online are graphic and disturbing … be gentle with yourself.

Has everyone voted yet? Really hoping that both Mamdami and prop 50 win tonight!

Halloween may be over but wearing fairy wings is forever! Soothe your anxieties about tonight's elections by getting yourself something pretty & supporting an indie artist;) www.fancyfairy.com/news/2025/11... #art #handmade #fairywings #fancyfairy #cosplay

Good luck to the new Teen Vogue in its quest to cover issues teens really care about, like how to burn a cross

USA: Mask rules are returning to Bay Area health care settings from Nov 1 as COVID, flu, and RSV cases rise. Counties including Contra Costa, Santa Clara, Sonoma, Napa, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz will require masks for workers, and in some cases patients and visitors, through spring.

Teen Vogue changed my life and their politics team was doing incredible journalism comparable to very little other publications. I can't say I'm not disappointed with this decision. Sending y'all love❤️

Day 24 of Emmanuel Garcia being in federal custody. He’s a 15 year old autistic boy who went missing 4 weeks ago. Houston PD found him, contacted ICE & his Mom is fighting to get him back She’s not allowed to visit him. They’re keeping a disabled kid from his family & the media is largely silent

Weird because I could have sworn the NYT told us we shouldn't worry about these viruses and should just get back to brunch
