@united I just checked my bag because there wasn’t enough space on the plane. Two empty bins (+1 more at the back of the plane) isn’t enough space?

If current trends hold, more than twice as many ppl in the U.S. will die of Covid (120,000) in the next year than died of AIDS in its deadliest year (55,000 in 1995).

Why is there so little anger about this? So little urgency? Are those dying of Covid acceptably "disposable"?

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Yo #DisabilityTwitter, I've been asking @TwitterA11y to improve twitter for the blind for nearly two years. They keep not listening. I'm going to tweet this thread everyday so they hear what blind twitter users are actually asking for. Join me?

Please, PLEASE reconsider using the word "clean" to describe someone who's sober OR someone who has no STIs.

It directly implies that the opposite state is dirty. Which perpetuates the stigma we should all be fighting.

We’re mixing it up this week with a much anticipated guest (🥁) - Lori Hagstrom! Christine and Lori talk about ETA and what it’s like to have a daughter that’s a sex educator and how they navigated “the talk” when Christine was growing up. 👩‍👧 https://t.co/tgr7uXFsNZ

There’s a clear connection between mental health and sexual health, but unfortunately, we’re rarely able to have those conversations in the classroom. Check out the link in our bio to listen to the full episode on mental health! 🧠 https://t.co/AIj4auGDF5

Everyone asks what’s the craziest thing I’ve seen working as a doctor in the ER.

No one ever asks me what it’s like actually working in one, or what I wish patients would know.

I wrote an explainer for everything you should know if you end up in an ER.👇

A Private-School Sex Educator Defends Her Methods https://t.co/p6WeXQ8CJ1 Seems to me that at a time when so many don't seem to understand consent, and when almost half of US pregnancies are unplanned, some frank talk about sex and consent is overdue.
