The only thing I will say about Odyssey discourse is that people who are insisting that things must be 100% faithful with no alterations are acting in service of white supremacy. They may not think that's what they are doing, but they are.

To everybody who couldn't vote Kamala Harris "because Palestine!" Slashes to the education budget now mean that work study and grants for students are being DRASTICALLY reduced. Your social justice cosplay has fucked over a lot of people hoping to go college and done fuck all for Palestinians.

Gutting USAID is why it took so long to find out where this outbreak came from. A lot of CDC's budget for dealing with Cyclospora came from USAID. When that was cut, most of the CDC's Cyclospora people were fired!
Big Ol’ Mush“The remaining parasitic and malaria funds had to be stretched to cover all the money that was lost from USAID. Cyclospora work was collateral damage.” thehill.com/policy/healt...
My dropped loot: - 1T drive of collected photos, various subjects - 500 pounds of wood, various species and lengths - 500 individual carving tools - 100 BPAL imps - 20 unset gemstones - 7 t-shirts supporting other athletes - Oversized fuzzy slippers - Tubes of lip balm and hand cream in every room
DestinaLoot drop after defeating me: - blood pressure medication - 10 books on how to manage anxiety - 5 pairs of reading glasses with all different prescriptions - 4 cozy throw blankets - 6 half-empty diet Cokes - Kleenex - sparkly flamingo keychain - 160 GB iPod Classic completely full of banging tunes

This is an important point! Wealthy countries don't usually have a lot of doctors & researchers who are good at diagnosing, tracking, & treating parasite infections. Why? Treating parasites is kinda walled off into "tropical medicine" and "third-world medicine." You know, USAID stuff.

it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption
Jessica NixNEW: As cyclosporiasis cases jumped, the company linked to the outbreak - Taylor Farms - effectively delayed a recall that mounted in consumer confusion. Gift link for @business www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

this is very true, though I will say one way social media CAN improve your writing is by giving you a clearer understanding of how and why people (honestly) misinterpret or fail to understand things. That's helpful, if you can spot the genuinely confused from the maliciously misunderstanding.

Real. If you think this outbreak is a shitshow, you should see the average Cyclospora outbreak. 🫠 From the case lists I've been able to get ahold of? About half the time, we never find out where it came from at all.
Dr. Lucky TranOften cyclospora outbreaks resolve over time without even having a recall, so the fact that for the current outbreak there is an epidemiological link to a source (Taylor Farms) and there has been a recall, is decent progress, despite the confusing communications and political landscape.
