@MariyaSweetwyne @LauraKellyKS Absolutely.

[Elena Aronson, MPH @Elena_Rose_]

Oh look, The state of Kansas hired a firm to find dependents of state employees with the costliest health problems, and threaten to cut us off from the healthcare we PAY for. @LauraKellyKS your name is on this.

[Elena Aronson, MPH @Elena_Rose_]

And I “just” have diabetes. Imagine how traumatic this is for people in cancer treatment?

[Elena Aronson, MPH @Elena_Rose_]

This is in addition to the several times a year we get a form to ask if we have other insurance. Nope. Just this ridiculously expensive state employee plan that is desperately looking for loopholes to get rid of me.

[Elena Aronson, MPH @Elena_Rose_]

@piper4missouri Wow, apparently he blocked me, but I don’t remember any interactions with him 🤷‍♀️

[Elena Aronson, MPH @Elena_Rose_]

@thredUP_support why can’t I chat with a customer service agent? I just received a very messed up order. My “excellent condition” final sale dress came with its hem held up by safety pins. And those pants for my 7 yr old arrived size 9 month, not 9.

@DJGould94 And have you found Miami University in Ohio yet? Not to be confused with the one in Miami FL

@lizzo H+M recycles textiles!

@llmunro This is something I am working on as well, I enjoy listening to podcasts and reading novels.

Sounds right

I don’t understand how COVID is spiking again after we’ve tried everything from pretending it’s over to pretending it never happened

[Elena Aronson, MPH @Elena_Rose_]

Oh ffs, these drugs are necessary for those of us with T2DM, this is appalling.

[Lisa Rowe 🏳️‍🌈💖💜💙 @txvoodoo]

I am not able to get my once-a-week diabetic medication, Trulicity. It is backordered in warehouses EVERYWHERE, as is Ozempic.

Why? B/c they're now being used for weight loss. Avg weight loss is 14 lbs on these drugs.

14 lbs vs Rx ppl need to survive.

If you’re concerned about the crush of kids getting sick with COVID/flu/RSV, there’s an intermediate strategy between doing nothing and schools going virtual. It’s a 4-letter word.

[Elena Aronson, MPH @Elena_Rose_]

@antifaoperative Is no one criticizing the original obgyn for not being more clear and pushing d&c or misoprostol (or whatever the drug is)?

[Sanjiv K Gandhi @SKGandhiMD]

I’m dad to 3 and a Pediatric Cardiac surgeon. This viral season is unique. Cancelling elective operations has become routine. Previously healthy kids need life support for “common cold” viruses. Mandating masks in schools and indoor public settings is a mandatory “inconvenience”.

[Elena Aronson, MPH @Elena_Rose_]

@BriceCollin Yes! I had one at Smith in the 90’s, there was also a campus number we could dial for weather, and another for the meals of the day and we actually called to find out.

[Elena Aronson, MPH @Elena_Rose_]

This is why we mask and don’t eat in restaurants.

[uché blackstock, md @uche_blackstock]

In theory, we knew repeated COVID reinfections were bad, but a study out today in @Nature of 5.8 million people shows that each reinfection significantly increases the risks of complications, like diabetes and kidney problems, hospitalizations and death.

Amazing! Now #MHS can enter the modern age

[Suzanne Perez @SuzPerezICT]

BREAKING: The Kansas Board of Education has voted to recommend that all public schools in the state eliminate Native American mascots and imagery within five years. The vote was 7-1-2. Michelle Dombrosky voted no. Ben Jones and Jean Clifford abstained. #ksed

[Sgt Joker @TheSGTJoker]

Republicans want to raise the age of voting to 21 because 18-21yos voted in droves in the Midterms. This is the same Republican Party that believes that an 18yo is mature enough to purchase an AR15 and a 10yo is old enough to be a mom.

Take all the time you need with that.

[Elena Aronson, MPH @Elena_Rose_]

Colorado passed #universalfreelunch did any other states??? Why doesn’t #ksleg care enough about feeding hungry kids to even consider this????

[Rhonda Fields @SenRhondaFields]

It’s official, Colorado voters passed Prop FF to give ALL public school students the option to eat two free school meals daily, regardless of their family’s income. No more shame, worry, or stigma, because a child doesn’t have money to eat. Thanks @hungerfreeco #copolitics & you!

[Elena Aronson, MPH @Elena_Rose_]

😂 wasn’t Cher “riding the crimson wave” in clueless? Just because Blue wave works doesn’t mean they can do the same thing…

[KSV @KSVesq]

GOP thought they were getting postpartum, fill a pad an hour red wave and they got day 5 of a regular period, can probably chance it and not even wear a tampon red wave
