🌱 outdoor garden is good and all - peak okra time and some squash, planted beets - but hydroponics are doing *amazing* rn. I’ve never done shishito before so I’m not sure when to harvest but there are 4 dozen on 2 plants…Bok Choi, basil, thai basil, Thai eggplant not pictured. The 🍆 is oddly pale… https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreia7g7j2obzthlcb64ntzsdrsy3zmsx3vfzmhzlgj3ff3x3aqxrnhq https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreidq3l6oxd5oynzacfc6u447pbdl2z7b3zgjjq7rndmg5eduupb5sq https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreicdq27qr6atuw5dx4p6jwetkz2vtflc7ppz3yeoy6ezw64oxigkpu https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreifjkgvvrjrva4zyrgcolhpqpjfv76bkle6v2ecwhriwm5w52itqxa

It’s worth looking at the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program data tables. It’s all very transparent; anyone with a basic grasp of statistics comes away with an increased sense that vaccines are safe and effective. Antivax propaganda, however, tells *stories*. [www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-comp...](

Ah, what a loss of talent in public service. Dr. Demetre was a fantastic communicator during monkeypox -- he briefly became notorious w/the right wing machine bc he had an instagram showing him out living his life. 🙄 Lysenko purged thousands in the Soviet Union; RFK is his intellectual heir. RE:

For those who thought school vaccine reqts would be safe because they are set by the states — the zealot leading HHS has made clear that he’s coming to weaken your state laws as well. Parents: organize locally to counter MAHA antivax crackpots. It’s on you.

This is going to be such a profoundly destructive bit of quack theatre. It will give struggling people false hope. It will undermine confidence in research. Shameless propaganda from an utter bullshit artist that a lot of people are going to have to work very, very hard to contextualize or refute. RE:
