your wife has been accusing a “grown ass adult” of DARVO and being an abuser because Abi simply BLOCKED HER.

terf AND kevin bass defender? bye

i have young patients without known or diagnosed comorbidities getting various infections every month, every other month, sometimes twice a month.

feel like i got hit by a bus so im trying to follow people back but im sooooo tired

it’s pretty horrifying to watch what is happening to public health.
i don’t know about everyone else working in healthcare, but i’m seeing the ramifications of it every day

Contrary to the contemptuous replies to this post, low vax uptake is the inevitable outcome of a multi-year campaign to minimize sickness, disability and death and force people back into work and school with no mitigations. Why would you protect yourself from something that isn't dangerous?

I can't fully articulate how worried I am for trans people of all ages. It feels like the world doesn't care.

i cannot keep up with 2 apps and i’m very AAAAAAH about it

thank you

😭😭😭😭

Among the saddest things about this is that last time it happened—and it did happen, almost immediately—Trump deported a bunch of adoptees whose parents thought adoption gave them citizenship. It didn’t.

omfg i’m so glad

it’s always so disillusioning to hear how far right people have gone

For the past 4 years almost every major “disinformation” reporter has ignored the rise of COVID denialists like Jay and others, instead choosing to boost their denialist rhetoric that the pandemic ended (it has not, according to the World Health Organization), and that COVID is harmless (it is not)

this is still very near and dear to me. i love what i did on twitter- maybe it didn’t do a ton, but i am proud of it. even if i do get mean sometimes.

the restaurant i worked at for a while had a chai concentrate that was SO good and i don’t remember what brand it was. it was in a big jug with a purple label. anyone have any idea? 😭

oooof 😭

We get it. Being sick all the time IS uncomfortable. Recognizing that you’re never going to get better is incredibly scary.

It doesn’t make it any less true. Learning to accept that you’ve lost your health and your life is forever changed is a difficult thing to do.

Your doubt makes it harder /4

Everyone believes they’ll be the exception (this literally can’t be true).

They think chronic illness & disability won’t ever happen to them - or IF it does - they will succeed in getting help where others have “failed.”

These beliefs are at the core of why the blame us when we don’t get better 🧵

It's disturbing seeing some medical and public health professionals trying to normalize RFK by saying "we have to meet him halfway."

NOPE.

RFK is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people.

Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Also, folks need to learn about Aktion T4 and what happened to the patients whose medical teams tried to cooperate with the Nazi government while protecting those patients.

To meet them "halfway".

Those patients were murdered.

If you haven't already, this is a good time to get your covid and flu shots. Covid activity has generally been rising but shows some recent signs of slowing based on lab testing and hospital levels. The XEC lineage has taken over from KP.3.1.1 here. However,

CTV News tweet. It says "insurers say bear that damaged luxury cars was actually a person in a costume."" There is a picture of a fairly sophisticated bear costume.

This is praxis 🙏
