There’s a darkness in watching yourself become invisible to the people who knew you best. You’re not at events, not in the photos, not in the group chats. You fade from their routines long before you fade from their thoughts. They stop asking, stop noticing, stop caring

It’s unbelievable. Trump pardoned people who tried to overturn the 2020 election last night, and by tonight the story has basically vanished. The press has already moved on. I’ll keep saying it: the media is failing this country at the exact moment we need accountability the

I will never, for the rest of my living days get on a plane without a respirator.

Chronic illness teaches you how to act. How to smile when your body is screaming. How to say “I’m okay” when you’re anything but. How to hide your pain so people don’t stare, worry, or even pity you. You learn to mask your symptoms because it’s easier to pretend you’re

4 days out from my life-changing surgery, @Aetna has denied the appeal for my brain surgery. to be clear, when i signed up to aetna months ago, the coordinator had confirmed they would cover this surgery. then, a week ago, they said the surgery was too experimental/elective and

@YouTubeTV Call me crazy but if you don’t get ABC and ESPN back, a one time credit of $20 isn’t going to keep me a customer. @YouTubeTV You’re off your rocker if you think I’m paying full price for service when you’re removing over 20 channels from the line up.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Are you f**king kidding me?

As a disabled person, if I tell you that I can’t do something today, that isn’t an opening for you to try to convince me that I can. It means no. I cannot do it today, and I won’t.

Chronic illness really forces you to become an actor in your own life. You smile through the pain. You hide the fatigue so others don’t pity you. You laugh so others don’t worry. You say “I’m fine” when you’re anything but. You don’t see the illness we all carry so quietly.

🚨BREAKING: Someone in Trump’s circle may have just pulled off insider trading on steroids. A brand new crypto account was opened yesterday morning. 30 minutes before Trump announced 100% China tariffs, it opened a massive, multi-million dollar leveraged Bitcoin short. The

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about @realDonaldTrump's physical and mental health the way the way it would have if anyone else were president?

Laying off federal workers and doubling the price of health insurance was a choice. Making the price of electricity go up double the inflation rate is a choice. And giving 20 billion dollars to Argentina is a choice. They have enough money. They just don’t have any for you.

Make sure everyone knows: these mass firings are not because of the shutdown. Trump doesn’t have to fire any of these people—he’s choosing to do it as an intimidation tactic. Difficult to overstate how stupid and reckless this is.

Covid is spread by one person breathing it out and another breathing it in. It's that simple. In between, the particles float on the air like smoke. So if you want to reduce the risk of infection, wear a mask that reduces particle inhalation anywhere people are breathing.

After Trump got his Covid shot, he chose to fire the scientists protecting the rest of us from diseases.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks. I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Israel is torturing Greta Thunberg for trying to bring formula to starving babies.

@angryhacademic I'm not crazy, or am I?

Google confirms my experience: needles can cause trauma which can trigger an MCAS reaction. My MCAS dr is not hearing me. I'd LOVE something "official" to send. Thanks for any input. I'm wanting a modified pre/post-treatment plan to avoid triggering MCAS.
