I did start yoga today, though. So I’m not giving up. Self care has many faces.

Donald Trump & RFK Jr. help usher in a golden age for the deadly measles virus

Trump‘s point is chaos and destruction, not in fixing anything. #WeAreOnOurOwn
“Last week, a sudden communication and radar failure between Philadelphia air traffic controllers and Newark Liberty International Airport triggered a cascading crisis that disrupted flights for days. Pilots struggled to reach controllers, including one United flight that went unanswered for 30 seconds—a lapse that contributed to widespread delays, cancellations, and emotional trauma among air traffic staff. “

“The CDC was alerted Sunday after a passenger on a domestic flight at Boston Logan International Airport required medical attention, according to officials.

Before the flight from Boston to Atlanta took off, crew members noticed a passenger who was ill and gave them initial medical assistance on board, a CDC spokesperson told Boston.com. Local officials coordinated with airline staff to escort the passenger off the plane.

The passenger was later taken to a local hospital, according to a Massport spokesperson.”

RFK Jr must be reading Dickens. #WeAreOnOurOwn
“At this festive season of the year, Mr Scrooge, ... it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the Poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time. Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir."
"Are there no prisons?"
"Plenty of prisons..."
"And the Union workhouses." demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
"Both very busy, sir..."
"Those who are badly off must go there."
"Many can't go there; and many would rather die."
"If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

Timely post.

I just called our state health dept this morning to inform them of the many dead/dying wild goldfinches I'm finding in my yard, which started about a month ago.
(No other birds species effected as of yet.)
I was wondering if they were collecting data on this, since bird flu transmission to humans has been reported in our state.

Who I talked to seemed unconcerned, and gave me the number to our local Dept of Natural Resources office, who connected me to a field agent where I left a short message, and am waiting for a call back, if that even happens.
Field agents, or Conservation Officers here, have no interest or concerns for wildlife except for the game ones ppl hunt.

There are dairy farms within five miles of our place, a short distance for birds.
