This will be my most sincere tweet ever.

I am pleading with anyone who will listen. I’m begging you, as a nurse, from the bottom of my heart…please get vaccinated. Today.

I’m so tired. We’re all so tired. And we’re running out of resources and people. Please…please help us.

@pnwswiftie_13 Girl, I’d screen shot that, print it, and hang it in my damn house in the place of my wedding photos😭

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

I don’t know how @taylorswift13 managed to write a song that feels both nostalgic & innocent while also capturing what it feels like to make your way back to the person you love most. Perfect for @toystory & even more perfect for dancing to in the kitchen baking cookies❤️💙💛

Or, and hear me out here…just take a fucking shower and if she cries for 15 minutes you’ll both be okay. She won’t remember it. I promise.

[@Ohlala 💖✨ @Ohlala]

Turn the darn water off until you’re ready to go in there 🤯🤯

This is NOT the OG Freaky Friday. It’s ‘Wish Upon a Star’ and it’s definitely not a Disney movie. Disney acquired the rights to air the movie in the late 90s and thus the movie became associated with the ‘Disney Channel Original’ branding.

[Tia NEVER Tamera @TiaNEVERTamera]

this was a Disney movie in the 90s! THE OG FREAKY FRIDAY with Katherine Heigl

Finally getting around to watching The Crown & just remembered when my 10 y/o self asked my mother with all the earnestness in the world, why whales needed a princess to reign over them.

[afrodite🪮 @brownsugaaaa3]

this man understood women. wow. she’s not even sexualized as she’s naked, she’s just existing as most of us do: random fondling of body parts, weird pose, stomach rolls and a messy environment. he does not attempt to make her this sexualized ideal like so much other nude art does

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

@emilykmay Lmao right. My oldest sibling was 11 and watch my 9 year old brother and my 6 year old self.

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

@thintechgodhead Same, literally about to delete my other reply to someone about this bc you’ve helped me see it from a different perspective and that’s like…a one in a million type interaction on here these days. I really appreciate you🩷

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

@thintechgodhead The good grades will be the death of us💀

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

@thintechgodhead And as a nurse, I get frustrated with the misinformation and then I get sensitive about bc of my sibling and I say things in a shitty way. I’m genuinely sorry for how I worded my original tweet.

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

@thintechgodhead YES! My mother fought for me to be assessed and diagnosed in the 90s which was rare for girls then. And now it’s like a cute and quirky thing. Meanwhile I forget to eat, can’t brush my teeth, and don’t feel time passing.

I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through all of that.

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

@thintechgodhead No I understand, I’m sure you have - so many people don’t believe or understand ARFID. I’m sure you feel that much more deeply than I do. I think thats just why I get sensitive about these kinds of videos cause it’s like the…TikTokification of ADHD if that makes any sense??

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

@thintechgodhead Word that well*

Love making a typo while tweeting about not wording something well. Incredible.

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

@thintechgodhead You’re right, I didn’t word that as well.

I get concerned when I see things like this bc I have seen the genuine trauma and harm. And as we’ve all seen w/ other mental health disorders, over-simplifying can lead to trivializing but I didn’t convey that properly, im sorry.

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

@thintechgodhead And I genuinely, honestly hate that for you. I’ve watched my sibling struggle his entire life with ARFID and has been hospitalized many times due to starvation. I am truly sorry you’ve struggled with that. My intention is genuinely to ensure it’s NOT made light of.

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

@thintechgodhead Whether she’s been formally diagnosed with ARFID or not, I have no idea.

But I also know the very real dangers of over simplifying debilitating illnesses to a point where they become discredited (ie; ADHD, chronic pain, panic attacks, etc).

That’s all I’m saying.

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

@thintechgodhead So im not trying to be rude.

I have cared for several patients with ARFID. I also grew up with a sibling with ARFID. very familiar with it both academically, personally, and professionally.

I’m not negating her anxiety. I’m saying it’s important to not trivialize the issue.

[That Liberal Nurse @ThatLibRN]

@thintechgodhead It’s not about personal experiences, it’s about clinical presentation.

Texture is one of the primary triggers in ARFID, so even if cake is a safe food, the moment its texture changes bc it’s stale, the “safe” factor is gone.

ARFID is real, but this isn’t it and that’s okay.
