Was teaching my child about Star Trek (best show ever BTW)

Learning about the Borg phrase 'resistance is futile', I said futile = useless.

Their response: Resistance is NOT useless.

They are right.

In the face of fear and oppression, our greatest strength lies in unity. Despite being broken and humiliated, residents of a Chicago apartment building rise together, finding power through their struggle.

The pandemic is not over! After having caught COVID for the 1st time this summer, I’m a big advocate for masking up. I’ve never stopped masking up since the beginning, it was by unfortunate chance that I caught it while working. Lesson learned

Covid is rising. New vaccines may not be ready until mid-September.

Updated coronavirus vaccines may not be available until mid-September, and people who are not considered high risk may not be able to access them.

@rusty-17.bsky.social

Just got my #measles vaccine. I paid for mine (about $57 including the injection fee), but if you book through AHS you “should” be able to get it at no charge.

Can’t say I ever had “get measles vaccine” cross my mind as something to add to my to-do list.
