I got shingles at 47. I was told again and again that I didn’t need the vaccine until 50. It was crippling. I had an “easy” case according to my doctor, but I still feel the burning on my side from nerve damage. I wanted the vaccine since I was 45 and told it was not necessary. Get the vaccine!

I’m thinking through cities large enough to host a World Cup match in red states that aren’t already hosting whose city government isn’t blue? (Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, KC, and Miami all hosting)…

In the movies they insinuate she dreamt it, but Baum approached Oz as a real place on Earth and was the one person who received the tales of Dorothy, Ozma, the Wizard through a special telegraph machine.

Notice it’s a grad student instructor…no protections for adjunct, TAs, etc. at universities. And instructors, TAs, adjuncts are the backbone of university learning…more erosion of academic freedom by abusing the workers who have the least amount of protection.
