@lyft I want to keep using your service but for people with sensitivities to smells like air fresheners and smoke, are there any settings or tips possible to help avoid rides with smells? A smokey or air freshener car is a full day headache for me. Anyone else?

@RemRunner Ooof. It’s like they mated hypersomnia and narcolepsy to make a Hollywood stigma baby.

👀Hyper narcolepsy’ isn’t real. But narcolepsy is—and it’s far more complex than TV usually explains. 🎬 So when The Pitt, known for medical accuracy, drops a line like this, it’s odd. 💡An accurate portrayal of a doctor or patient with #narcolepsy would be innovative.

@flyLAXairport waiting over 20 minutes for an economy lot shuttle…. Have watched 5 lax-it shuttles, 4 employee parking shuttles, 3 metro connectors. I feel like you’re holding us hostage with no way to get to our cars in your lot. This is terrible.

Can we reach 2000 signers? With 1 in 2,000 people living with narcolepsy, it would be SO meaningful, especially since the majority of people living with narcolepsy are UNDIAGNOSED so unaware of what they are up against. c.org/P64B9D55H6

What does #narcolepsy look like? Spoiler alert: not like this! @nbc’s new show #Stumble repeats a tired Hollywood trick — the plank fall + thud. Please share my analysis and sign our petition: c.org/P64B9D55H6

Dear Hollywood: We are tired of the tired trope. Please sign and share this -- as #narcolepsy is a fascinating, complex condition, and NBC now has the opportunity to educate millions and dismantle long-held misunderstanding and stigma through responsible, informed storytelling!
Project Sleep@project_sleep

Mockumentary mocks disability community? Last night, #Stumble premiered on NBC & Peacock with a prominent, inaccurate portrayal of #narcolepsy. URGENT: please sign our petition asking NBC to reduce misunderstanding instead of reinforcing tired stereotypes: c.org/P64B9D55H6

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval. Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.
