@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! ;)

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.

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.

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.

.@RepArmstrongND @SenKevinCramer @SenJohnHoeven do you support privilege-based medical care?

Didn't think so.

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: https://t.co/C8NbFkJC5p #Alzheimers

Young people who experienced complex early life trauma as a result of interpersonal violence or child abuse had more severe mental health problems and cognitive impairments than their peers with no exposure to trauma.
