Evidence suggests that measles immunity fades about 10-15 years after vaccination. If it's been more than 10 years since your MMR, or you can't find the latest record of vaccination, update your shot. And WEAR A MASK. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases of all time. There is NO reason to expose yourself when a KN95/N95 mask offers so much protection.

You should start eating bugs. Here’s how.

Looking for a high-protein, sustainable diet? Look no further than crickets, mealworms, ants, and yes, even scorpions.

ya gotta love how many people are willing to invest in an imagined future in which they survive the climate emergency and fascism but not invest in ending these existential threats to the life they hope to lead in a few decades. like, I hope you're contributing more to antifa and the collapse of ecology-destroying capitalism than to your 401k, brenda #climate #climatechange #antifa #anarchy #anarchist #invest #investing #future #retirement #401k

'There’s lots to criticize about DOGE. I certainly have, publishing as many of its boneheaded memos as I can find. But instead of focusing on the substance — what it is actually doing, its gaping exemption for the national security state, and so on — Democrats instead are focused on obscure matters of process. “Did DOGE submit Form 18-7.4?” is a question almost nobody outside of Washington cares about. Nor should they.'

I've seen people argue that CWs don't affect your post's visibility, and that people will read it either way. I don't think this is entirely true; on a quick scroll, I don't click every CW'd post, and I'll bet there are others like me. But when you don't CW, you lose engagement/followers from those who prefer it. So there's a potential tradeoff either way. It comes down to what kind of fedi citizen you want to be, and which people you want in your community. #contentwarning #fediverse
