Another insider says their hospital is now subtyping flu A cases, testing for H1N1 and H3 first—if negative, samples go straight to the state lab for H5 (bird flu) testing.

Why are they testing flu A patients for bird flu?

Why is no one talking about this?

I'm receiving reports from Indiana something is seriously wrong.

Hospitals are filling up with flu A patients on ventilators.

The ICU is overflowing, forcing critically ill patients into the Progressive Care Unit (PCU).

“The Revolution about to be Televised” #halftime

Also, you can tell who people voted for based on how they reacted to that half time show... 🙃

I still can't believe Kendrick just got the NFL to pay for a PROTEST. Obsessed. OBSESSSED.

Going to reshare some of my favorite breakdowns for those that have left the clock app.

Very true.

whitney @whitneysartain.bsky.social · Feb 6

We're 17 days into this mess, and I'm waking up later and later, moving my body less and less.

Hey, but all the mental gymnastics I'm doing while trying to stay informed without losing my mind must count for something, right?

hahhahahhaha 🙃

He did do pro vaccine posts with the Biden admin. So I wonder when it charged. That quote is also missing how he said something like any president so it didn’t sound like he was supporting trump. But also I wouldn’t be surprised

2025 feels like a struggling tv show grasping for ratings, like it’s just inciting incident after inciting incident after inciting incident and a new poorly written cartoonish villain that nobody asked for and every week they somehow find a more ridiculous shark to jump

I’ve seen people having cake for breakfast and ice cream for dinner, and that’s okay. 💁‍♀️

Here’s some easy snack-size meal inspo.

Keep nourishing yourself even when the world wants you not to. A little crunch, a little protein, a little sweet, perfection. 😋

Last night, I made dinner in silence 🤫

No screens, no podcast, just me and the pan sizzling and knife chopping.

After that news cycle, I needed a short digital detox. Might make it part of my routine if this keeps going.

Dedicate one of your already built in habits to silence. No screens, no podcasts, no information coming in. I’ve been doing it while making dinner. It’s helped a ton. Just a quick little digital detox. 🙈

This trend change from Pinterest sums up how we're feeling right now.

The horrors persist, but we must keep waking up, ideally, a little calmer. Somehow. 🤷‍♀️

That work day was tough.

That news day left me equally speechless while wanting to scream at everyone who didn’t vote because Kamala wasn’t perfect.

Time to sooth my soul the way any girl knows best: Caesar Salad Wraps 🥗🌯

It’s so bad! But scared for when it gets better

Okay, so warm and soft out of the oven feel fresh, but if they are packaged, then crisp is better? For me, I feel like I always need the chocolate chip to be soft.

Bottom crisp or just the edges? Turns out everyone I’ve asked has multiple cookie preferences depending on cookie type. Who knew!

whitney @whitneysartain.bsky.social · Feb 3

🤔 What's better:
🍪 a cookie with a crisp bottom or
🍪 a soft cookie all around?

Last night I used vegan Greek yogurt for cookies and it actually worked better than eggs. They were so fluffy!

Another week in this strange strange timeline calls for another simple + sweet healthy breakfast. banana fancy toast: GF sourdough, PB, banana, flaxseeds, + a drizzle of sweet. Easy! Don’t skip the fiber! Happy hormones are made in the gut and omg do we need them! 🍜#GlutenFree #HealthyBreakfast
