Ebooks are reading.

Audiobooks are reading.

Graphic novels are reading.

Pulp reading is reading.

Adults reading YA is reading.

It's all good, my friends. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Happy New Year folks
On 13 February 1990, from a distance of 6.4 billion km, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft turned around and photographed our homeworld.

About halfway up on the right side is a tiny speck of light, about one pixel across.

"That's home. That's us.

A mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.

This. My daughter tested pos. For flu A the week before Christmas. She was vaccinated. One day of fever and feeling terrible. No fever the next day and “10x better”. Fully recovered for a lovely Christmas holiday
Flu numbers are high in most states and almost all cases are variants of H3N2 and the vaccine includes H3N2

Get your flu vax if you haven’t already! Even if you still get the flu, the symptoms will be easier to manage if you get vaccinated!

Belief in that lie is how we're bringing measles and polio back.

Stop it.

If something in government is not working, then you fix it. Choose better leaders.

Don't replace its leader with an incompetent person, or worse, a dude that doesn't understand what it does, and so wants to destroy it.
