@DKThomp What are stats when dividing by gender AND socioeconomic levels? A quick google search couldn't return that data. A 50% difference by socioeconomic status could be a good place to investigate. Chetty found zipcode influences life long outcomes.

Since we're in #lockdownnz, I thought I'd make my husband's favorite dessert. Later tonight we'll know if an orange-infused Cointreau works as a replacement for Drambuie in this tiramisu recipe.😂 🤞 #NZHellhole #HappyHobbits

@ggreenwald American living in NZ, here. It's a 3 day national & 7 day local lockdown. We've lived overwhelmingly COVID free & the majority happy to do a fast, hard & effective lockdown to keep our community healthy & alive.

COVID death rate:
US: 600,000+
NZ: 26

New Zealand "bubble is back" w/1 unknown origin case of COVID. TY to the individual that got tested & self isolated!

Very grateful NZ is genomic sequencing, waste water testing & taking a hard lockdown immediately w/hopes of stamping out COVID.

This is not news! Perhaps the US and allies should have insisted on more women being included in negotiations, and sooner. Nobody did.

Waking at 3:30am and studying 12 hours makes for a long day, in a string of many long study days. Happy to do it so that I have free time w/my favorite people this evening - my husband and my child! #momlife #studentlife #grateful #blessed

Congratulations, Bucks! Thrilled for my former hometown.

Happy belated fourth of July to all celebrating! As an immigrant, US holidays pull on my heartstrings and reminds me of friends, family, community, and traditions that I miss - including community fireworks, BBQs, dressing up my furbaby.

So many great memories.

@lymanstoneky If you'd like to understand the reality of individuals w/ADD, ADHD, Autism, I encourage you to look up #neurodiversesquad to read about their experiences, needs & feelings on this topic. Their voices and experiences matter on this issue.

[Sustainable Peace 🌐✌🇳🇿🇺🇸 @AMaltaRingHim]

@lymanstoneky Do you know people w/ADHD, ADD, or Autism? I'd suggest you speak w/them to understand their experience and needs. Pharmaceuticals specifically address deficits in neurobiology chemistry and functioning.

[Sustainable Peace 🌐✌🇳🇿🇺🇸 @AMaltaRingHim]

@lymanstoneky Suggesting this is just a difference in attitudes is harmful when accomodations & pharmaceutical intervention are necessary for functioning. We should build an inclusive & accommodating world that accepts there are different functioning needs, but not at expense of treatment.

[Sustainable Peace 🌐✌🇳🇿🇺🇸 @AMaltaRingHim]

@lymanstoneky There are high rates of ADHD underdiagnosed in women & girls because studies were originally done on white boys. Women & girls present differently. Resulted in an entire generation of now women not diagnosed. I say this as someone diagnosed in her 40s.

@lymanstoneky Folic acid is not good for everyone and can in fact be a poison for individuals w/MTHFR gene variation. It is suspected that up to half the population has the gene mutation.

@Anne_MarieBrady @mFat @minhealthnz Why is the level of vaccine efficacy not viewed as a national security issue?

@POTUS Paw prints of the heart never fade. As one that has lost two beloved dogs that lived to be 13 & 15, my deepest condolences to you and your family.

@JudithCollinsMP Yes, please, let's be like South Korea!

@JudithCollinsMP Are you & the Nats committing to transitioning to green hydrogen economy? Because that is what South Korea did and is transforming their economy to be a hydrogen-technology leader.
