Hello! It seems to be time for another intro post, a big move for me from med-mastodon.com. That server is closing on April Fools Day!

Glad to be here at @hearme_social and thanks to @admin for already sending me a welcome note! Please bear with me as I figure out how to (hopefully successfully) migrate my account! I originally found Mastodon in the Great Twitter Migration of 2022. In the past few months as med-mastodon has had issues, I've taken bit of a break, but I miss it here and it's my favorite social media site! I promise to post more soon!

Please follow me if you're interested in #USPol #HealthPolicy #Covid #CovidIsNotOver #Pandemics and #CurrentEvents #MaskUp and I'll probably follow you back!
