For the past few years I've offered a free 5-page website to a DEBUT author who doesn't yet have one, just because. I'd like to do that again this year - please share w/any debut groups, appreciate it! @2023Debuts @2024Debuts https://t.co/1mb4o0wWKI

Painful to read because every bit rings true. Policy makers rarely acknowledge how untreated brain illnesses affect not only the ill person, but also all those around them - including children, who suffer irreparable damage/trauma from having to live with a psychotic parent.

“If my sister had cancer, or Parkinson’s or diabetes, she could get treatment. But because she is mentally ill, she is trapped in a reality distortion field from which she cannot escape without the medication she perversely refuses.” — Hilary de Vries https://t.co/xIHocIiS5i

Designing this website for @B_Yee09 reminded me of how much I love working with debut authors. Now offering one FREE 5-page custom-designed website to a debut author who doesn't yet have a site. Just because. Portfolio: https://t.co/LeqNxtJ6UE. @22Debuts @2022Debuts @2023Debuts

NOVEL #2!!! All the #amwriting holed up in a tiny broom closet (literally!) was worth it, bc I now get to work with the unbelievable @DavidEbershoff! What a huge honor to be his first acquisition for Hogarth @randomhouse. 🎉🥂🍾🙏📚

@gregggonsalves We didn't watch. There were no explosions or photos or videos of wounded people bleeding or jumping out of windows or gasping last breaths. That's the problem. To many, they were numbers, not real lives.

@ambernoelle Wonder. It's Middle Grade fiction but that doesn't really matter, it's still perfect.

[Mira T. Lee @MiraTLee]

Well, 2020 was not a great writing year for me, but I did get to help many wonderful authors launch their websites - which makes me happy. Visit https://t.co/1mb4o0wWKI to see @DianeZinna @RitaWoodsAuthor @KosokoJackson @juliecardalt @TraceyEnerson @anjalienjeti's sites, + more!

@yz_chin Congratulations! So wonderful!

[Mira T. Lee @MiraTLee]

@Craig_A_Spencer The problem is that no one is seeing it, except HCWs. There should be reporters, photographers, videographers documenting it all - if people actually saw what you see it would be a different story.

@AirBud2k14 @minjinlee11 My spouse is an ICU doc and is still paper bagging/rotating his set of N95s.

@MeltdownWRIF yes.

[Craig Spencer MD MPH @Craig_A_Spencer]

Well, it’s started.

Instead of being asked about how we improve our #COVID19 response in the coming months, doctors are being asked to comment on why people shouldn’t drink things like bleach or isopropyl alcohol.

This has to stop.

This is the problem.

This has to stop.

@Craig_A_Spencer People don't understand concept of herd immunity, epidemiologists should lay out exactly what it means - numbers of infected/recovered we'd need + deaths it would entail if we just "let the virus do its thing", even if true mortality rate is significantly lower than current rate.

Let's talk about the real-world of how "easy" it is to get tested and how "everyone who wants one can get one" and you will understand my anger at the Trump Administration.

My brother-in-law exhibited symptoms of COVID for 10 days. Over one week, he saw MDs five times. Each.../1
