America, you're slacking in MANY important metrics.

Hello! A friend of mine that grew up in rural Georgia has asked me to help get her pen name out for her literary agent. I've heard of similar things happening to other children and teens when I was growing up. #BelieveWomen Lilitu Rodac | Cult Survivor | Substack share.google/o18mZOpCaV6u...

Rooster Charm School, Class of 2026, is now in session! #BielefelderKennhuhn #roosters make amazing flock protectors without being jerks to humans. I'll keep one as an outcross for my #DiseaseResistance breeding project. These nuggets will weigh about 9 pounds once grown. #Chickens #BackyardChickens

Not usually a dog person, but this one's pretty cute.

Come say hi, if you have the time.

Every few years, I will adopt the oldest or rattiest cat in our shelter system to let them enjoy their golden years in my home. I renamed Mr. Scruffy to Abraham Guiseppe DeLacy Casey Thomas O'Malley. He is an absolute ham and melts in anyone's arms for cuddles. #LifelineAnimalProject #IndoorsOnly

Another festering blemish on the face of God's creation to have to keep track of.

I can vouch for their crazy-fast completion!

The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, now stacked with covid vaccine critics picked by RFK Jr., is scheduled to discuss "covid-19 vaccine injuries" at its March meeting public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-03877.pdf

There's a whole book called "What's the Matter with Kansas?". Keep showing up for others!

A wonderful artist. Saving my pennies for a 3-pack of their prints.

I hate that this is necessary, but the people creating this group are looking out for the public's best interests. 💔 I'll be watching closely. #NatilnalPublicHealthCoalition

Watching the Science Set grow has been a lot of fun, especially when you get to say things like "Louis Pasteur and Jonas Salk have the zoomies!" These will be heterozygous for the #HeatTolerance and #DiseaseResistance genes I'm looking for. #BackyardChickens

DHS is holding a sick 2-month old baby in Dilley Detention Center along with hundreds of other children. ☎️Call Dilley Detention Center ☎️Call your politicians We must get this baby out before he deteriorates. Numbers and scripts below.

FYA! With the exception of their Emergency and NIOSH accounts, CDC Centers' social media is shut down. Any new posts will come from HHS 😬

The girl chicks will be named after notable women in medicine. The boys will be named after notable #vaccine scientists because, frankly, these medical wonders are worth celebrating! Left to Right: #EdwardJenner, #LouisPasteur, #Peseshet, #FlorenceNightingale, #JonasSalk, and #MarieCurie.

Definitely in the "laugh to keep from crying" way.

Splashdown is a very long-suffering, err, photogenic hen. #ChickensOfBSky #MerryChristmas #MerryCluckingChristmas

I have F3 peeps! They will be joined in a few weeks by another clutch of half-siblings. I like their red heads and the obvious rooster with his head spot and prominent comb. #EgyptianFayoumi #BielefelderKennhuhn #DiseaseResistance #Autosexing #ChickensOfBSky #BackyardChickens

@gquail.bsky.social Seems easy enough to recreate!

Brilliant milestone; the US's healthcare is nowhere close. "Brazil met all the criteria for EMTCT validation, including reducing vertical transmission of HIV to below 2% and achieving over 95% coverage for prenatal care, routine HIV testing, and timely treatment for pregnant women living with HIV."

My birthday is on HIV Testing Day. Please do not be silent about this.

I learned about @profanity.accountant from @firedbutfighting.bsky.social -- something tells me I'm slacking, given my username. ;) Let's see:

Yippee! All five of my F2 #ResistanceProject ladies are now laying! I still need to perform #RrstrictionMapping to see who is homozygous or heterozygous for these sweet sweet immunity markers. #EgyptianFayoumi #BielefelderKennhuhn #Chickens #ChickensOfBSky

This museum has the greatest resources for students and public health awareness!

A most excellent anniversary! 🦠

Hmm, perhaps I should have replaced "fine" with "okay". This is a #MentalHealth and #HormoneModidication positivity post. Take care of yourselves in these trying times. #ChixkensOfBSky #ChickenArt

I insist that we ALL are just another sack of meat as far as antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is concerned. 🦠

I'm quite pleased with FUBAR's development! She is as large as her half-brother, and twice the size of hell her sister. Got #EgyptianFayoumi looks with the #BielefelderKennhuhn size and chill. I'm looking forward to her ChB6 allele restriction mapping results! #BackyardChickens #DiseaseResistance

Oh, we're back to the "work camps or ovens?" rhetoric again. 😮‍💨

Some helpful resources!

The absolute best novel in the Pern setting.

The US has had quite a few watershed moments this year -- notorious, even.

Hmmm.

Can we NOT tonight, ma'am? #ZullyMonster #EgyptianFayoumi #BackyardChickens #RooftopChickens

Oh, you know, a couple weeks' worth of groceries, since 60% of households are struggling to make ends meet.

Ah, what it's ACTUALLY supposed to be used for. #antihelminthic

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking this.

Thought of the day: examine your thoughts. A necessary, critical look-back at how public health has been misused. We cannot let it happen again!

Document, document, document.

Those in the poorest ZIP codes have the least amount of time and resources to advocate for themselves, and often are in the worst health.

Dr. Monaraez lasted about 2 Scaramuccis. I believe her soul is intact, at least.

Nausicaa! Be brave. ❤️

Yeah, don't let him slide!

Well worth a read.

The Ceratosaurus is done! Time to bake. Commission for @dutch1507.bsky.social ! #paleoart #art #dinosaur #sculpture

Ah, that was delightfully quick. For anyone interested, funds from this site go to at least two RIF'd (someone update or correct me!) CDC employees.

Glad to see local reps speaking up too.

Appreciative of those speaking up on our behalf. #SaveCDC
