Since the US no longer has public health I'm going to post a few measles poster images when there was such a thing. Please share.

This is my son Eddie a few months before he was diagnosed with cancer.
We used masks/testing/ventilation to keep him free of respiratory illness during this journey, which improved both the quality and quantity of time we had with him.
A thread…

Approximately sixty children died of COVID in the United States in June
Two a day
One every twelve hours
Since January 2023 three hundred children in the USA have died of COVID
That is twice as many dying of COVID in six months as normally die of influenza in an entire year

We need to stop comparing COVID to the flu and start comparing it to tuberculosis. Clinically, epidemiologically, COVID has more in common with tuberculosis. Like COVID, tuberculosis is an airborne insidious infection that can affect any organ of the body. A Great Imitator.

Harsh Truth: You'll literally never know what you want to be when you grow up.
The idea that you should know what you want to do with your life by the time you are 20 is one of the worst lies we are told.
I spent years stressing out over my lack of a clearly defined path...
But then I realized that most hyper-successful people still have no idea what they want to do.
They just have a bias for action that has allowed them to capitalize on opportunities and compound effectively over time.
If you have a bias for action, you'll always be fine.

Apparently there's a nasty mystery virus going around that is a bit like flu in the early stages, but can cause strokes and heart attacks and kidney failure and trigger diabetes and fatigue and kill you.
And here's the really weird thing about it... I mean seriously weird...

Throughout the pandemic, some have argued that Covid poses little health risk to kids aside from a few days of sniffles — much like the flu. But an analysis shows just how wrong that is

There's a common myth being passed around that longCOVID is rare, that it only affects medically infirm people, that it can't happen to me. Here's a short thread on the famous people that are dealing with #longCOVID 1/

Early on in the Covid pandemic, there were lots of articles about how the 1918 flu disappeared from our collective memory and the historical record. Alfred Crosby famously called it "America's Forgotten Pandemic" in his 1989 book.

In 1959, Eugene Ionesco wrote the absurdist play Rhinoceros in which one by one, an entire town of people suddenly transform into rhinos. At first, people are horrified but as the contagion spreads, (almost) everyone comes to accept that turning into a rhinoceros is fine. 1/

In life you will run into someone, possibly multiple someones, who doubt you and your abilities.
I now have the perfect response to them thanks to my 4 year old daughter: “I can’t hear you. I’m busy making rainbows real.”
Good night moon.

I think I'm finally out of the woods with post-COVID psychosis. Mine lasted for about two months. Y'all. Scariest shit in my life. Researchers think COVID causes direct damage to the brain, triggers an immune response that negatively affects the brain, or changes blood flow 1/

git fetch versus git pull 🐊🐛
Thanks @apreshill for feedback & brainstorming with me on this one!
ALT Illustration highlighting the difference between git fetch and git pull. On the left (representing git fetch), a crocodile holding a box says to another crocodile eating salad: "They had a new topping mix at the store. Check it out, it might be good in your salad." On the right (representing git pull), a crocodile says "They had a new topping mix at the store. I bought some and mixed it into your salad" while a concerned looking crocodile looks at their salad, which now contains the topping mix of insects. Text at the bottom reads "Check what you're getting before merging it in with git fetch."
