Hi! Epidemiologist here! Don’t do this. In the 80s and 90s this was done by Depts. of Health during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. “Somehow” the lists they created found their way into the hands of cops, landlords, & job sites to deny people human rights. It’s partly WHY HIPAA exists

Millennials really need to stop bagging on Boomers for having so many Precious Moments figurines or whatever because I know almost all of us have a fucking ROOM full of old cables we are simply emotionally incapable of throwing away. Also, Precious Moments are fragile Funkos.

“Are you ever going to stop masking?” They ask in such an exasperated tone, as though my mask is infringing upon their lives in some way. I like not being sick. If I had known how effective respirators were before COVID, I would have worn them before!

Another view from the foggy start to the day we had in #Pittsburgh, this time on the Clemente Bridge. The fog was so thick that you couldn't even see the city on the other side. Actually, you couldn't even see much past this on the bridge...it was wild.

Marc-Andre Fleury came into the Wild’s final home game in OT, made 5 huge saves and the team won. Minnesota is in the playoffs - and both teams sent him off in style after his final regular season appearance of his career 🫡 🌸

@scottlincicome You know Trump did something really awful when members of Congress are publicly admitting they might have to actually start using their power.

A view from yesterday morning that doesn't include any springtime colors, this time one of the moon framed by the Andy Warhol Bridge in #Pittsburgh. The quarter moon fit perfectly in one of the openings at the top of the bridge, making for a really fun scene from the North Shore.

Last week the fog in #Pittsburgh was at the perfect height, obscuring everything but the top of the bridges, at least from the West End. And then when the sun came up there was this beautiful light on the fog, and along with some interesting shadows made for amazing views.

If you still think it's the 1950s then yeah it's not unusual for someone to die from measles

As a parent, the death of a school-aged kid in Texas from measles is so heartbreaking Especially because it's completely preventable The last death of a child from measles in the U.S. was in 2003 When George W. Bush was president And 4 years before the iPhone So so sad.

With how dreary it was this morning in #Pittsburgh I didn't think I'd come home with anything I really like, but I'm always happy to be wrong about things like that. The reflection of the Andy Warhol Bridge looked like a portal of some sort as it distorted in a puddle today.
