I haven't been on X in a long time. What a war zone.

ICYMI: What ten years of #dementia and #Alzheimers looks like: @lonnajwhiting/video/7236125974310473002?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7237162497601865258" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@lonnajwhiting…

@Katharine_Mckee @kaleighf I was 40. We're not slow learners! We were busy finding proof for everyone else that corporate bosses are shite. Important work! ;)

@kaleighf 35 for the big pivot. I’m a slow learner it seems. Congrats on knowing yourself so well so early!

How old were you when you made a major career decision that dramatically changed your life (for the better)? I was 24 when I quit my FT job to start freelancing full-time. Now I'm 10 yrs in. I just knew that office life/being on someone else's schedule 40 hours a week wasn't *it* for me.

@itismalliehart @ellengau @kaleighf The taxes are terrible.

@ellengau @kaleighf I don't enjoy sales as much as I do the implementation of projects. And I was tired of the taxes. That's it in a nutshell. I consider myself an intrapreneur now.

Next time someone tells me I can do hard things is getting a fist in the neck. #badadvice #advice #selfcare #professional #stress #monday

I’ve just turned down the HPV vaccine for my daughter. I really don’t know if it’s the right thing to do, 2 years ago I’d have consented without a second thought. I’ve lost all trust in vaccines. I honestly don’t know if I made the right decision, I think I have. Any thoughts?

Boy, FB doesn't like when I post about #patreon and the algos are punishing me for it. Won't you be my patron? Become an #alzheimersslayer and help me destroy the world's most ignored fatal illness. patreon.com/lonnawhiting

Don't tell us we can't afford universal health care when we've thrown $7,000,000,000,000 to defense contractors since 2001.

Dear #AmericanLeaders If you can spend $2B a day on #military spending, you can fund a modest $226M in FY23 for #Alzheimers #research, a #disease that costs $305 billion a year, has no cure, and affects 6M Americans, plus about 12M #caregivers. #endalz #militaryspending

Alarming stats coming out of one of the country's least populated states. North Dakota residents aged 65+ w/ Alzheimer’s today: 15K; 2025: 16,000. Percentage change: 6.7% # of ND unpaid family caregivers: 19K Hours of unpaid care: 29M Value of unpaid care: $526M #ENDALZ

Hey #vegas, any #nonalcoholic spots on the strip? Not a joke. #lasvegas

That someone centrally involved in the planning and implementation of one of the worst and most unjustified naked acts of aggression in decades -- US invading Iraq on the other side of the world -- can now credibly posture as a defender of international rules and laws is amazing.

Literally me every time I click send on a giant email campaign. #copywriting #marketingtips #nosweat #work #airplane

.@RepArmstrongND @SenKevinCramer @SenJohnHoeven do you support privilege-based medical care? Didn't think so. Let @MedicareGov know you want FULL ACCESS to #aduhelm. #ENDALZ p2a.co/twitterimage?i…

Since Lonna Whiting's mom was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's 8+ years ago, she's been able to have moments with her mom that she’ll “cherish forever.” Lonna didn't always think that was possible. Read her wonderful article to learn how: alzfdn.org/how-to-make-me… #Alzheimers

@ABC Stop wasting money on shit.
