Influenza
I'm shocked they haven't sued each other over their names, there is demonstrable confusion!
Absolutely no idea! I can't keep them straight! But the thing going in where the fabric store was is apparently NOT the one with a MAHA officer!
For a sense of scale, note the ladder behind it to the right. Roman has a 2.4-meter mirror, so its roughly 3 meters wide.
Wait, update: the thing they are building down the block from me is a Shake Shack! There is still hope for fast food burgers!
Or maybe I'm thinking of the other fast food joint with "steak" in it's name, I've now confused myself
It's a franchise, I think, so I would have had to check but it was a possibility!
If anyone shows up to tell me I shouldn't eat or want fast food burgers I'm going to block you.
Well, fuck. I was looking forward to there being somewhere else I could get a burger. (They're building one down the block from me and they do gluten free properly)

My grandfather made his own pickled herring for a while so there were just random jars of fish in the fridge
Yeah, but a lot of folks dont go to college, which those of us who did tend to forget. And if you’re not immunocompromised or allergic, an extra MMR won’t hurt you, so 🤷♀️
Last time I got one at my pcp’s office I had to get it redone because she gave me Td instead of Tdap
*creamed*, Tho?
Pretend wound time?
Creamed herring. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea *at all*, let alone as part of the first bunch of food you’ve had in 26 hours?
Because some comments make me think people missed the PSAs I do semi-regularly: if you were born before 1987, you should get a MMR booster now. The second childhood dose of MMR wasn't added until 1989, and folks who were older than 2 (the age for the 2nd) may not have gotten it.
My aunt also gets the more frequent boosters just because she has a hobby with a high risk of tetanus exposure - gardening
A lot of pharmacists will also give you a Tdap if your (potentially fictional) sibling is expecting a (potentially fictional) nibling who you’re going to babysit and their (potentially fictional) doctor says you need a booster
Also, while I'm on the subject, you should be getting Tdap boosters every 5 years, not every 10 like the recommendation says, especially if you were born after 1990 or so. The pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine drops below 50% VE at 4.5 years after booster doses.
I bought “my mochi” brand from the regular grocery store and it is *terrible*. I try very hard not to get hooked on anything from Trader Joe’s because I’m still mad at them for changing their chai recipe and getting rid of whipped honey 20 years ago, but I may have found an exception.
I very rarely remember my dreams, but I have for the past two nights and I prefer the other way
My mom is an epidemiologist, so measles was an almost literal boogeyman in our house, I recognize this is highly unusual but I still sometimes am like “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON‘T KNOW IT LINGERS”
a lot of the health care facilities around here (Arizona) have had “do you think you might have measles?“ quarantine signs on the doors for a year now. I really hope they’re also training their staff 😬🤞🏻
When you’re tempted to suggest that we should forgive and embrace MTG because she’s turning on Trump
Remember that she rose to prominence in part by fueling hate and harassment against families who lost children in school shootings
…next up he’s getting rid of field latrines. Vaccines are a significant part of ensuring combat readiness. This is remarkably dangerous when dealing with personnel who are crammed into tight spaces like ships.
The Onion buying Infowars is funny.
The Onion keeping that hate site online in any substantial way is not.
i haven’t read the archangel series yet but I love the elemental blessings
Have you read her Elemental series?
