My #MondayMood #MoodMonday

A happy mood- back to work after 4 days home with food poisoning- and this is only our first 5 day week -strange to be out so early in year. missed staff, students, lots of love there! Came armed with water & my home-made chicken rice soup(I freeze it in batches for times like this). Now home reading. 💗🍲💦 📘

I can't believe this is such an issue, but nothing surprises me anymore. I would NEVER teach in a school where vaccinations weren't required. Never.

Deblovestoread 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 1d

lil1inblue I actually had a conversation with someone who said “What's the big deal anyways? It wasn't like polio was that bad.“ ☠ ☠ ☠ I can't with these people. 1d

lil1inblue @dabbe This also reminds me that I need to get my flu shot. So thank you! #vaxmeup 1d

kspenmoll I totally agree! About only teaching in a vaccine district. I love CT! ! @lil1inblue Polio?! Not that bad?! Where did we get so many brainless people running around?!😱 (edited) 1d

lil1inblue @kspenmoll That's how utterly crazy the anti-science crowd is! 1d

ImperfectCJ @lil1inblue I can't find any news past March about how the US withdrawal from the WHO affects this year's flu vaccines. Last I read, the CDC and FDA participated in meetings with the WHO re: 2025-2026 vaccine, but I don't know if the other parts of the flu vaccine development process continued as usual. I assume so, but I can't find direct assurance. Kind of annoyed that this crud might affect my ability to get effective vaccines for my family. 1d

dabbe @kspenmoll Inquiring minds want to know! 🩵🎯🩵 1d

dabbe @lil1inblue We do, too! 🧡💜💛 1d

dabbe @ImperfectCJ I can't wrap my head around even trying to keep up with their infernal bullshit. If you ever find out, please let us know. 🧡💜💛 1d

lil1inblue @ImperfectCJ Ugh. With the constant barrage of bullshit, this didn't even occur to me. Down another rabbit hole I go. 1d

willaful @ImperfectCJ having the same problem. We got our covid shots yesterday and were offered the flu but the person giving the shots was useless. I asked if it was an updated vaccine and he said “it's the same one everyone else is getting.“ Oh, no shit? 1d

dabbe @willaful 😵‍💫😤🤬 1d

Amiable I saw a post online where someone said “In Germany we only vaccinate the kids we want to keep” and I thought yes! Maybe the MAGAs would actually understand that logic. 🙄😖 1d

willaful @Amiable Unfortunately... https://www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-health/unvaccinated-boy-almost-died-tetanus-... 23h

dabbe @Amiable 🎯🩵🎯 23h

Roary47 My daughter just turned 5 so she is now up for a set of shots and I was told she couldn‘t go on field trips until she had them all. I‘m like she is vaccinated, but she‘s also younger than most of her classmates. 😅 I‘m a science teacher so… I don‘t get it. My students understand the concept why can‘t others. 🤷‍♀️ 22h

thebacklistbook This is the best info I could find https://www.cdc.gov/flu/season/2025-2026.html 20h

Amiable @willaful That poor child! Why must the children suffer because their parents are idiots? 😖 18h

Tamra @Amiable oh, that‘s a perfect slogan! 11h

dabbe @Roary47 🩵🎯🩵 10h

dabbe @thebacklistbook Thank you for this! 💜🩶🧡 10h

dabbe @Amiable 🎯🩵🎯 10h

willaful @ImperfectCJ What Ive found so far: Matthew Cortland, a lawyer and disabled advocate, claims that anything available now should be the ones approved for the 2026 season--mostly because that happened before RFK Jr finished off the CDC. 8h

Last week was a bit tough. I was down in the dumps and struggling to find light. There is always light even if it is elusive at times. This week is starting off better. Share your mood today, good or bad.

God, I‘m so tired of being American. Where money, control and power are all that matter. I want to believe in the American dream I was raised with but those in power want that dream only for themselves, to get richer and richer on the backs of the rest of us. The Cheeto even wants to take away today as a holiday because God forbid we aren‘t toiling to make them more money. Sorry my mood is very black today.

TheBookHippie Power & Control and the almighty dollar. Since day one on in these United States that are actually not united… maybe it‘s easier if you never believed it. Dark days for sure. The orange menace has never worked a day in his life. 😵‍💫😡 1w

Prairiegirl_reading Too many holidays was one of the most ridiculous things he has ever said on top of a massive pile of absolutely ridiculous things. You all deserve better. Holidays, sick leave, health care, vaccines, an affordable life, bodily autonomy. It‘s not too much to expect. (edited) 1w

Susanita They talk about mental illness whenever there‘s a shooting and cut funding for mental health assistance the rest of the time. Starting with their dear idol Reagan. 😡 1w

TheBookHippie @Susanita 🎯🎯🎯 1w

ncsufoxes Our country is built on the pillars of racism, white supremacy, oppression, & capitalism. The people at the top sell the myth of meritocracy. It‘s exhausting trying to get people to understand how they‘re all linked together. 1w

ncsufoxes And I‘m so tired of them blaming mental health for violence. You can‘t blame mental health & then restrict access or cut funds to schools to work on mental health. As a mom of kids with mental health issues it‘s hard to empower them to advocate for themselves. I want to be honest with them about their diagnoses. But stereotypes & misconceptions make it hard for them to be open to others for fear of judgement. 1w

Amiable 💙🩵💙 Keep your chin up, Deb —we‘re all in this together! We‘ll keep fighting until no one is left standing. ✊🏼 1w

TheLudicReader It‘s horrifying…all of it. 💔 1w

AmyG If mental illness is the problem….why would you give people with mental illness guns? (Pssst….it‘s the guns) (edited) 1w

And all you Trumpers sitting in the warm glow of your guy being in the White House need to know that others are out there doing the work to keep children fed (including your children) CHILDREN will go hungry because of your vote. CHILDREN will be abused because of your vote. CHILDREN WILL DIE BECAUSE OF YOUR VOTE! Hell is too good for the lot of you. Christians do not let children go hungry! Think about it!

Prairiegirl_reading Absolutely agree!!! 2w

AmyG I will add….about medicare. How many children have illnesses that are covered by medicare…who yes, could die, as a result of cuts. How do people sleep at night knowing they voted for this? 2w

DGRachel “Christian Nationalism is just White Supremacy in Bible Drag” is the best description I‘ve seen. 🤣🤣🔥 2w

CBee @AmyG and Medicaid - when I heard about those cuts I just thought of my autistic son. We are lucky and I am absolutely aware of our privilege there. But so many autistic and other children (people) with disabilities won‘t be able to access vital services without it. Makes me sick. 2w

Tamra @DGRachel sick & funny all at the same time. 2w

AnnCrystal The Children 😢🫂🥺. 2w

kspenmoll @CBee It‘s beyond evil for everyone, but particular kids with disabilities. My son is privileged; he is covered by my healthcare insurance from work. But that will not be the case in a few yrs when I retire…will there be medicare for older adults then? Thanks to our evil, narcissistic president . #rant 2w

CBee @kspenmoll yes, exactly. My son is covered by our state health insurance plan and it‘s fantastic. We‘ve all benefited from Obamacare for years and I‘m so scared that will all go away soon. We will figure it out as we always do, but so many don‘t have that luxury 😢 2w

Deblovestoread Yes! Messing with Medicare and Medicaid is an abomination. Taking away medication and supports for the disabled is nothing more than cruelty. And to take it one step further what happens to the caregivers? All of it is evil. @AmyG @CBee 2w

Prairiegirl_reading @DGRachel I love this too! 2w

Sparklemn My sister works in Special Education in a small rural school district. She said the number of parents of children with disabilities who voted for Trump is mind blowing. Seriously…how did they not see this coming?! Did they actually think he cared about them? (edited) 2w

Chrissyreadit @Sparklemn I work with many clients - children with special needs who see me and all their providers because of medicaid- and the parents voted for the cheetoh. It has never been about children or the price of eggs… 2w
