I'm Calvin "Poncho" Apodaca and I help put on a summer camp for kids affected by cancer. Usually, I run the General Store, but this year's things are a bit different. For the safety of our campers, this year our camp is going virtual. I need your help. https://t.co/oUTUlsReXz

right now Twitter is a group of people trying to decide where to take the afterparty and we've agreed to either the east-side Denny's or the west-side Denny's, and all you hive folks are like "what if we went to iHop" even though it took 40 minutes to narrow it down to a Denny's

Thinking about @CPCharity a lot lately, and this ancient newspost might help explain why. Much of the work of the charity is quiet, in realms no one would willingly enter. It's not for socials, which means it's almost invisible to the modern world. https://t.co/bqkw0MzjvN

As a pediatric survivor myself, my family needed every little bit of help they could get to manage my care, my symptoms, and my records. Giving a little signal boost, and super proud of the this research team for putting in the hours!

A year ago, a doctor injured me irreparably. It changed my life and I’ve been in consistent pain ever since. It’s uncomfortable, but I think it’s important we talk about medical error because it’s incredibly difficult to engage with a system that hurt and continues to hurt you.

In 1985, Mary Ann Buckles released her dissertation, "Interactive Fiction: The Computer Storygame Adventure", receiving her Ph.D. from UCSD. She fought for it the whole way, saying it was really important, that these games would change our relationship to computers.

The editor for the Games for Health Journal, Dr. Tom Baranowski, and several associated researchers and authors wholeheartedly agree with @G4C. Racism is not only a societal ill, but a public health issue.
