i’m not being mean or anything like congrats to everyone but i met one of these women and how poor and ruined her life was after she freshly fled in her car. her nerves were shot.
she’s one of the people that made this possible, and she’s forgotten and unheard from
a screenshot of an instagram post by user astro_christina, showing the moon in space, mostly dark but with light behind it and on a little crescent of it on the left-hand side. text reads "The most ominous thing I've ever loved. It wasn't just an eclipse with the Sun hidden behind the Moon...we could also see earthshine, the Sun's light reflecting off Earth, wrapping the Moon in a soft, borrowed glow."
Unrelatedly -- I love that Christina Koch put this up on her social media and I'm like "That is a BANGER short story title and/or first line of a poem (or last line of a poem)"
What's the most ominous thing you've ever loved?
The real story of smallpox vaccination begins not with Sarah Nelmes (the milkmaid in question), or Jenner, or James Phipps, or Benjamin Jesty but with Turkish folk practitioners of variolation, enslaved people like Onesimus, and Indian variolators.
There would be no vaccination without variolation.
As a reminder, do consider buying directly from my Ko-fi shop.

This is why NASA is a thing. SpaceX could never.
Space stuff and the Olympics are the only times I'm pro-American. Lol
Just watched the Artemis II re-entry and splashdown, which was almost textbook in how well it went. My main takeaway as a layperson following this mission is that it’s striking how much better NASA is at this stuff than the various private operators.
Parachutes! Three in this round. They had about three rounds (expected) of parachutes being deployed.
Thermal imaging version was wild bc it looked like sparks coming off the capsule.
Moment of splashdown. Capsule hitting the water.
The parachute deflate from lack of tension.
Parachutes and splashdown.

I love me some Hunter.
This photo. 😆 I can only imagine the absolute chaos going on on that stage.
Y'all gotta understand how excited I am for this book. Crime families. Revenge against colonists. Spirit beasts granting powers to their chosen. My MC's transformation into a morally dark gray character. I am vibrating.
I passed 40k words on my current manuscript!!! I'm officially a third of the way through to meet my wordcount goal for this epic urban fantasy.
This is why you should never, ever stan a politician.
Also: there are a lot of disturbing replies challenging the integrity of the woman who has come forward, and I really want to urge all of you to remember:
People you love, who have been in similar situations, can see your replies.

It’s actually absurd how many times I’ve seen people say this bullshit and act like it’s an original thought.
Your theory is neither interesting, unique, nor correct.

I’m hearing that the rank and file of MAHA is trying to distance itself from the anti-vaccine movement.
But they can’t.
RFK Jr. has spent the past two decades focusing on destroying vaccines. When you promote the man you are promoting the anti-vaccine message.
Period.

Mind you, when I read the description (vampires + the Mexican old west!) I was:
This. Running to novels when I know I have a vivid imagination and am scary as hell.
Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas. The romance element tricked me into forgetting there were vampires coming. Lol
