The Inflation Reduction Act is a remarkable law that will substantially improve care in this country. We’re celebrating it, while at the same time knowing that it’s but one step toward a system that truly meets people’s needs. So much work remains.

Minnesota and Wisconsin will be conducting a severe weather drill at 1:45 and 6:45 pm today.

The drill will consist of the outdoor sirens being activated and some county notifications being used.

There's an essay to be written about how the wedding-industrial complex compares to the medical-industrial complex but I'm not going to write it

Been watching @OnlyMurdersHulu and as a blind person this last episode was a bit hard to follow (huge thanks to my sighted bf for reading the subtitles to me). I applaud them for hiring a deaf actor to play a deaf character, but wish he wasn’t the ‘villain’. Or so we think 🤔

The heartbeat of racism is denial. We can hear the heartbeat clearly.

BREAKING NEW THREAD: Minnesota will expand COVID-19 vaccination to *all* state residents 16 and older starting March 30.

The information, which has been communicated to health systems and public health offices, marks a major milestone in Minnesota's vaccine strategy.

Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
Many kids on Medicaid get 12-month continuous coverage,
Their moms should, too.

My specialist told me "you probably know more about your disease than I do." Rather than downplaying my experience & research on my rare tumor, he treated me as the expert in the room.

I wonder how much we'd improve healthcare if we always treated lived experience as expertise.

While there is so much more that needs to be done, we are glad to see the Biden Administration taking steps towards making sure every American is included and involved. We look forward to working together to make sure accessibility is a top priority.

Consider following & following Executive Director @ebarson and (congrats to) new board chair @drjmariomolina.

Whenever my cat starts bothering me while I am working (walks on keyboard, bites arm, etc.) I just turn on my @iRobot Roomba from my phone and it is a HIGHLY effective distraction

Happy 212th birthday, Louis Braille! And happy National World Braille Day to all! I remember roleplaying as Louis Braille in an elementary school “wax museum” project where we dressed up as historic figures and gave a monologue. I was also struggling to learn Braille at the time
