Happy #TuberTuesday!
Our shopper delivered this beast when we ordered something else and we’ve never had one before and aren’t sure what to do with it. BunMum has tried rolling it like a bowling ball and has used it as a centrepiece. We are thinking of using it as a door stop next.

Here RFK, jr talks about giving everyone measles
“It used to be that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection…The vaccine doesn't do that ... it used to be that very young kids were protected by breast milk."
Before the vaccine was invented in 1963 measles caused and estimated 6 million deaths
Case fatality rates within industrialized populations can be has high as 6%
In malnourished populations, rates can reach 30%
Glyn Moody reshared this.
The notion that you get better life long immunity to diseases by catching them when young instead of via vaccination is scary…why do the likes of RFK Jr think there was a drive for vaccinations in the first place?
I have hearing loss due to my mum catching Rubella from a kid when she was pregnant with me…I later was vaccinated, but when it came to checking my immunity before I had IVF, I was suprised to hear I had none. GP said this is not unusual.
Hi #RFKJr
“Los Angeles County in #California, Suffolk County in #NewYork and Howard County in #Maryland detected their first confirmed cases of #measles this year, while #Oklahoma reported two possible cases, local health authorities said this week.”

i just learned this yesterday but: if you're trans and you were born in the state of New Jersey, there's a fastpass discounted system in place to ammend your birth documents.
nj.gov/health/vital/correcting…
it costs 6$ if you're just doing gender marker, 8$ if you're doing name as well, 10$ total for an extra (second) copy of the new birth cert. they obliterate the old record through all state systems & replace it with the corrected one. this takes 8-10 weeks. and they have a badass name: Record Modification Unit.
it includes nb options
it includes options for parents w trans kids
someone in 2018 understood the need for this and absolutely nailed their assignment perfectly.
i think every state should model on this tbh
