At the ACIP meeting this afternoon, a representative from the American Pharmacists Association had to point out to members that in many states, the authority for pharmacists to give vaccines is based on ACIP recommendations. It's as if the new ACIP members don't actually know what ACIP does.

This is Finny. He doesn’t go chasing waterfalls. He carefully studies their timing and arrives in advance. 14/10 very impressive (TT: jordancain70)

Swans should be always accompanied by their own musicians. Bestiaire of Pierre de Beauvais Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, Ms-3516, folio 207r.

Not the brightest bulb of the bunch, but definitely the most adorable one. Found @ imgur.com/gallery/halp...

Absolutely 😸😹😻 That second picture, she most definitely was like "Why me??" 😂🤣😹

“Just we two” Postcard from my collection. Copyright 1907, mailed 1909. This is by C.E. Bullard, my favorite of the Victorian/Edwardian cat photographers. He seemed to genuinely love cats and didn't restrain them or cram them into tiny costumes.

Best glory I’ve ever seen from a plane! It’s an optical phenomenon that occurs when light interacts in and around tiny droplets of water in the clouds, in the direction opposite the sun. More complex than a rainbow. Here’s a link to some more info: www.zmescience.com/science/phys... #optics #physics

Hooray for 300 days of mental health and emotion management!

This one definitely deserves the test tube emoji 🧪

Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.

There was a multi-flomp incident involving Bernadette and Penelope today.

Oh, but the real reason I'm posting is to see if anyone on here studies the iron age Pazyryk culture of the Altais. I'm doing research for a story and I'd love to pick someone's brain! 🏺🗃️ #archaeology #history #prehistory

For the second night in a row, I've stayed up far too late reading about ancient peoples of the Central Asian steppes. Apparently, at least one group would drop everything and follow if they came across a white hare. Do you think they made it to Wonderland? 🐇

I forgot about social media for a few days because I've had to focus on family stuff so much. Felt good. Read books. Played a cool new video game called Tiny Book Shop. 15/10, highly recommend. May stay away for longer periods of time. Possibly forever. Stay tuned.

This is Moomin. He wanted to help an ambulance do its job, but went a little off-script at the end. 13/10 well done Moomin

What gif pops up when you type your name? (I'm just happy Rachel from Friends wasn't the first gif)

Practicing my still life sketching. (Err... stilled life? Still death? Still something, anyway.) Thinking about adding some flowers into the sketch. What do you think? Thistles, sagebrush, and wheat grass perhaps? #art #sketch #skull

It's #InternationalCatDay!! 😺 Say hello to my loaf of a cat, Lilo 😸 She's 3 years old, and we found her almost 3 years ago this month. I love her so much, even if she gets on my nerves sometimes 😅🤣 Some of (but not limited to), her nicknames are: Flopsy, Squeaker, Screaming Banshee. #CatSky

We may have our differences, but at the end of the day when we take off our pillow cases we all have upsettingly yellow pillows

Happy 10th birthday, Hamilton!! ⭐

This is Horus. He got a lot of attention on a recent flight in Mexico. Clearly the other passengers have never flown with someone so handsome. 14/10 we're told he was very well behaved (TT: denniabuendagalvn, paulinagtza_, cheetahbash, cristianjbetancourt)

So many new followers from the USA- and I'm so grateful - now I need your help, please. I want to make a Saturday morning TV video, and I like to include suggestions made by viewers. So with that in mind, please give me your favourite 80s: 📺 Kids TV shows 🚗 Toys 🥣 Cereals Thank you!

IT'S NOT FAIR HOW FLUFFY THEY ARE The nerve they have to exist as intelligent beings with the right to bodily autonomy. How am I expected to NOT bury my face in their floof 24/7? Hmm?? Pls send help

This is real I shit you not

Otis has learned that when I’m locked in, the only way to get attention is by getting physically in between me and what I’m working on, as shown here

@rachellense.bsky.social This is literally the first opportunity I have had to do some sidewalk astronomy since I received the stickers. It is never this cloudy and rainy in North Texas. Climate change is even out to get the astronomers.
