I haven't done it in a long time, but today I went into a bookstore looking for something specific (a book light) and ended up with $125 in books.
After I left the store I realized I had forgotten to ask if they had a book light. Because books!
The shop, btw, is Dreamers and Makebelievers.

I never thought I would see the day that getting vaccinations would be seen as a revolutionary act.

...now I have to agree with Mike Pence...
Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky
![This is the front page of a fraudulent research article that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. The word "RETRACTED" is written across it in large red letters.
Wikipedia: On 28th February 1998, a fraudulent research paper by physician Andrew Wakefield and twelve coauthors, titled "Ileal-Lymphoid-Nodular Hyperplasia, Non-Specific Colitis, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder in Children", was published in the British medical journal The Lancet.[1] The paper falsely claimed causative links between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and colitis and between colitis and autism. The fraud involved data selection, data manipulation, and two undisclosed conflicts of interest.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sox6xar4qdc3ujhi5h4whtlh/bafkreiazjyxk6foryp6lzxcqbls62uaokwhjrjmnzg5uqpdimg77xrt26a@jpeg)

I've always wanted to ask, Gail. Do you think trans women would be welcomed on Themyscira? I've often wondered and I can't think of anyone who's answer I'd trust more than yours.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."
She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

Just discovered a new (to me) romance author - Olivia Dade. I am reading her novel "Spoiler Alert" and haven't had so much fun reading a book in a while. Absolute fluff, but I love it to pieces. #booksky #romancelandia

My right shoulder is in open revolt. Heat, cold, ibuprofen, Flexeril - nothing seems to be working. The winter weather, much as I love it, does not help.

Took way longer to realize Spotify gave me the movie soundtrack instead of the OBC recording of In the Heights than it should have.
Excellent, but different.
