After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers.
No.
I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children.

Period.

Our pups love cats, so I dreamt of getting them a Siberian kitten and happily told them about my dream.
They understood the ‘kitten’ part but not the ‘dream’ part. I’m now going to spend the morning apologizing for not getting one.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Nov. 26 that Ukraine's accession to the alliance depends on unanimous agreement among member states — not on Russian demands.

1/ Hoekstra’s statements are mind boggling and supported by Americans.
Hoekstra: Canadians shouldn’t be upset about becoming the 51st state - it’s a compliment.

Staying safe when eating is doable because the virus is killed by the right amount of heat.
I’ll repeat my recommendation: get a food thermometer and use it.
No runny eggs either.
Wash your hands. Clean surfaces.
