It’s safe to say that Pebble and Bucket are very much bonded and adore each other. Seeing the two play/sleep/rough house with each other always makes me tear up a little as it was something I knew Bucket wanted from Mako, but due to her age/illness, she wasn’t able to. I love these two so much

This past weekend, I got the chance to really escape and remember how much of a rave head I am at EDC 2026. I was surrounded by an amazing crowd of people and loved every second of it. Cannot wait to join you all next year under the electric sky.

Cool… Cool cool coool…. /s

“Just don’t give up on yourself” I’m trying.

Nope. IDGAF. You and the rest KNEW what you were doing. You CHOSE to ignore the mountains of red flags. You all DOUBLED DOWN on your hatred and only changed your tune when it impacted YOU. You don’t get to apologize after opening the damn. The damage is done. Sorry is so fucking late.

When a world leader sounds like a shitty preview for the next episode of dragonball Z

Translation - “actual science based policy is super hard wah wah. So anyways, here’s a new bootleg version until we get sued again”

SNL really pivoted towards making documentaries… youtu.be/FUBVuvstPCs

I wish I could add that super fast snippet after every new drug that says something about all the “background” checks they’ll do to check if you’ll be in allegiance to his high and mighty orange turd. No thanks.

Despite leaving a stinky surprise in his crate, our 9 year old prince bucket has been deemed super healthy and has a fabulous coat. Just like his dad.

The topic of Grief is not an easy topic to navigate, even harder to capture on cinema. It is a deeply personal journey that ebbs and flows erratically throughout the course of ones life Hamnet from Chloe Zhao captured it. She captured it perfectly. I'm still thinking about it long after watching it

The other worst type of person on this planet - Those who "review" products but instead will give low ratings b/c of other issues not related to the actual product. Perhaps I just want to see actual reviews of the movie? This is why I've stopped caring about Amazon reviews.

Today marks the 1 year anniversary where I was illegally fired amongst thousands of other US federal employees. I had worked for more than 10 years in the service of the US federal government and while it had its rough times, I loved this job. And on that day, it was all taken away from me.

If you’re STILL confused and/or surprised about the racist AI trash that was posted by our fascist despot, sorry to say, but YOU might be the problem.

Fuck this year

Honestly all this intense arguments over the spending bill while we continue to fund a domestic fascist police group and international petty projects... Yes of course it bothers me. Federal employees were the first to be gutted. Unfairly/Illegally. All to save $$ that was eclipsed by MORE spending.

Oh. Hello frigid cold.

China, just @ Korea next time

And yet… “The Department of Homeland Security is an exception, with headcount barely fluctuating…” Glad to see my former salary go to hiring more of that departments goons.

And that number WILL continue to go down with this group.

The fact that people are actually entertaining/willing to give MTG a second chance despite her years of vile, despicable, deplorable, and inhumane treatment of her fellow humans is evidence enough that we live in the dumbest fucking timeline ever

I’d invite folks to please stop suggesting that hand sanitizer is the key to preventing norovirus. All of you who have followed us for so many years know better now that SOAP AND WATER is the only effective method in reducing norovirus cases. Hand sanitizers do diddly squat against this virus.

I can’t even recover from being sick in peace. (Jk her screams heal me)

We do indeed live in the stupidest timeline No evidence Just vibes And now we’re about to put babies at risk

Day 2. Committee meetings still seem to be a confusing concept to these geniuses

If you need any further evidence on why CDC is broken, just look at the past few ACIP meetings. These “experts” can barely run a structured meeting with appropriate due process. You trust that these charlatans know what’s best for America’s health when they can barely understand the word “AGENDA”?

Ignoring and not talking about AIDS does not make it go away Donny. I cannot think of a single time where a country or multi-lateral entity has EVER chosen not to commemorate World AIDS Day. But don't worry. We took care of those nasty seed oils.

I finally reorganized the whole bookshelf in my office. I need more shelves…

So. Pebble is definitely no longer a kitten

It's been almost 9 months since the first set of illegal firings began happening across the federal government. More than 200K How much money did that save the federal government? $0 How much will their critical service cost the American public? Billions Meanwhile...

Sorry Temu Karen

No former and current federal employee should feel good about the fact that chuck and gang have decided to cave on the ACA subsidies. It’s a slap to the face of everyone who has suffered this far to fight back. Every single one of them needs to be primaried.

Cool. So. Can I get my job back?

The administration has 100% taken the country hostage with contingency funds that were already set aside and approved. They would rather starve millions vs moving the needle forward. Cruelty is always their game.

Received a nice little surprise award in our public health dept staff meeting. This award felt more meaningful than any of my meritorious performance award as it was a heartfelt thank you from my colleagues. It took every little bit of energy I could muster to not ugly cry while accepting it.

Yup. We’re all Costco Executive members now

Of all the people, Rubio knows DAMN well that the United States is the LARGEST contributor to the Global Fund, which provides lifesaving treatment for AIDS, TB, and Malaria. Every year we have contributed BILLIONS in helping countries get these treatments. www.theglobalfund.org/en/government/

The insidious “obvious now” factor is that all this dialog of vaccine and Tylenol causing autism is that it’s normalizing and setting the tone of “neurodivergence is an unforgivable sin and we must not let them exist” We are not a sin. We deserve to exist. We deserve love.

20 years ago I would never think that it was acceptable for men to get their nails done Even after coming out, there was the extremely toxic gay dating culture of “no femme, no Asians, no Blacks, no fat” mentality Today I said “fuck it” and went to get a manicure and select my nail polish

It appears we’ve now gone down the rabbit hole (again) of anecdotes being evidence for mRNA vaccines causing cancer. And Robert Malone with his tacky:dated tinfoil hat claiming Pfizer tampered with their safety data… (with no evidence) I need to just make a bingo card of all the best hits

If anyone has followed me back when I covered CDC’s ACIP meeting pre-trump, you’d understand that the group that is responsible for reviewing the data and making recommendation on vaccines are not THIS incompetent. Listening to their “deliberation” was equivalent to Reddit conducting a vibe check

Regardless of ACIP’s decision this week (this is one component of the vaccines availability) AHIP has noted that health plans will continue to cover all recommended immunizations as of Sept 1 2025.

Gentle reminder to all on the following: Fuck Elon Musk and Fuck Russell Vought Kindest Regards, A Former Federal Employee P.S. - oh and fuck the rest of the lot too

Really amazing as to how many cishet white men are suddenly so concerned about freedom of speech (democrat and republican). Babe, when has anyone silenced you?

STOP DOOM SCROLLING Look at the fluffy baby

👀 Lots of questions here. VAERS is a system that generates hypotheses. It is designed to be a very low threshold system for everyone, patients and providers, to submit adverse events for additional review and to generate more study.

Yesterday’s events have further cemented my mindset that folks cannot operate with nuance on the topics that need urgent addressing. We’re so focused on binary thinking, right or wrong, this or that, that we lose sight of what is actually killing us literally and figuratively as a democratic nation.

Bucket and Pebble are now inseparable 🥺

All this sudden anger/language on RFK pisses me off more than anything: ➡️ stop calling him a vaccine skeptic. He’s an anti-vaxxer. ➡️ he and MAHA have always made it clear on removing/side stepping scientific experts. ➡️ he has NEVER intelligently spoke about public health. Stop. Normalizing. Him
