@alitlstrawberry As someone who had to leave med school due to health problems unfortunately this doesn’t surprise me. Doctors/med students are some of the most ableist people I’ve ever come across-both when I was a student and as a patient.

@girlsclubsports Wish I could be there too, but unfortunately those men all showed their blatant misogyny and hate yesterday by laughing at the women’s hockey team with the president while drinking with the fbi director who is protecting horrible people.

@james_xond So many of you are fully unaware of the lives of disabled people. I’ve done this as someone with me/cfs—do I get my $200k?

If someone offered you $200k to stay inside your house and not step outside for 90 days, would you do it?

@rozanov118 Especially because it’s not an accurate depiction of an ambulatory wheelchair user—which she would be at this point

@NYCMayor Let’s make sure to differentiate between masks that are often used by those who need to protect their health and the face converings/gaiters used by these agents to hide their identities.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
When New Yorkers look to government, they want to see public servants fixing their problems - not masked agents hiding their faces in shame. City Hall will work tirelessly to improve New Yorkers' lives, and we will protect our neighbors from ICE's campaign of violence and fear.

@SunDevil033 @UofOklahoma All of this is posted (essay, rubric, professor response). The student didn’t cite any sources for an essay for a scientific paper that required empirical evidence to support her point. The original article wasn’t even about trans people, but about gender stereotypes—tomboys, etc

@HeatherFunk_ @UofOklahoma Has the essay been released? I've yet to see it so we can read it and judge for ourselves. I'd like to see the rubric too.

@autistic_diaz Exactly. I literally had to leave my career due to health issues and don’t at all trust it to be done well in the show. It would be such a shame to lose Hen as a character as well. That would absolutely be the final nail in the coffin for me watching the show.

Also I should preface that I’m saying this as someone who has multiple chronic illnesses. I personally would really love some representation, however I do not trust the writers, or Tim, to properly portray it at all.

Istg if Tim gave Hen a chronic illness and then makes her leave her job because she “can’t physically do it anymore” I’m going to lose my fucking mind

@arixanxim 2L twice a week. I was having awful GI issues (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc) that caused chronic dehydration and of out of control pots symptoms. While the infusions haven’t cured it, symptoms are improved with the infusions. Hope you are able to get the appointments you need!

Are any of y’all on Medicaid and get saline infusions? My PCP is being really weird about prescribing them, giving me a new excuse every time I ask and most recently told me Medicaid wouldn’t cover them.
