I love adoptable pets, social justice, and community building. I'm fighting stage iv metastatic cancer and believe love, hope, and science lead to miracles.

The @USNavy should release footage of this and other incidents to show the world the irresponsibility and lack of professionalism from the PLA Navy, and to demonstrate U.S. resolve to nevertheless operate wherever international law allows.

Dr. James Allison and Dr. Tasuku Honjo’s immunotherapy discovery uses our own body’s defenses to destroy cancer. Today’s @NobelPrize award is a significant leap toward ending cancer as we know it and paving the path to a cure. Congratulations and thank you.

I extra love this because sunflowers are often a symbol of the fight to survive sarcomas. Today my #StageIV sarcoma cancer is making breathing difficult so I need physical strength to breathe and spiritual stremgth to hope for a clinical trial to find a cure. #CancerLife

Dear boys and men: You shouldn’t have to correlate girls and women with your daughters, wives and mothers in order to care for and about them. Instead of “I have daughters, so this matters to me,” try: Girls and women matter, no matter what.
