… content from the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, which includes data from a national survey, has disappeared; so have parts of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s Social Vulnerability Index and the Environmental Justice Index. The CDC’s landing page for HIV data has also vanished. And the agency’s AtlasPlus tool, which contains nearly 20 years of CDC surveillance data on HIV, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis, is down.
Quite the contrary. Say it loud and say it proud.
This part. This is the part that makes me think “He needs a break.” And again, I say that as someone who also needs a break.
Maybe that’s projection. I don’t know. All I know is this is the first week that has left me seriously thinking about just deleting all my accounts, taking a break from the doom scrolling, and waiting for the dust to settle. The unproductive, bad faith, aggressive discourse on top of what is actually happening is mentally and physically exhausting.
You’re still putting your time and energy into emigrating, right? That’s got to be an exhausting process for a whole family to handle as it is.
I implore you, seriously. Take a few days away from being terminally online. “Flood the zone” is in full effect right now. This is the part where they’re purposefully wearing us down. Save some of that energy for later.
Maybe it’s not my place to offer that advice. I certainly don’t know you personally. But you remind me a lot of me when I’m overwhelmed. Sorry about the bad-taste post before.
It absolutely is not your place to offer that advice. I am in no way “terminally online” either. If you actually took five seconds to look at my post history, you would see I was not around for most of yesterday because, and this may shock you, you don’t actually know what I do.
This post is also bad taste because you are talking like you know me when you don’t.
So how about minding your own business, and if you don’t like what I have to say, there’s a block button?
