I took care of kids and families with HIV/AIDS before there was treatment. I diagnosed newborns and had to tell new parents the whole family was likely to die from the disease. I attended 25 funerals in 1995 alone. Maybe the Twitterverse can understand why another pandemic virus that has killed at least 1500 American children, and hospitalized or chronically sickened thousands more, still produces intense anxiety in many of us even as most of society seems to have decided that ignorance is bliss.

@Mmafreak999 @401_da_sarpanch Sure, maybe. You had better hope you aren’t dealing with an asshole who wants to run you through the ringer, though. The second you make any private payments to a third party, your insurance can’t get involved and you therefore have zero legal protection.

@Leafs4Life8989 @Mmafreak999 @401_da_sarpanch Now that is a possibility! Depending on the policy, the insurance company may be able to deny his claim if he was handed such a charge.

@jeb_poole @TheDentistOffi1 @CDCgov Imagine nearly eradicating an entire disease with a vaccine and still disputing the vaccine’s efficacy

In 2018, "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial" was published in the British Medical Journal.

It sought to determine if wearing a parachute when jumping from a plane had any impact on survivability.

It did not.

There's a Democratic politician in Nebraska's state senate who's utilizing the filibuster on every debate to slow down the progress of anti-abortion or anti-trans bills.

Senator Machaela Cavanaugh said "this is how the session is gonna be for every bill."

More of this please.

I appreciate people who shovel/snow blow their driveways in perfect lines. My driveway looks like a three year old cut their own hair.

Neurotypicals be like: “I organized your kitchen for you! It works SO MUCH BETTER NOW, aren’t you grateful?!?!?”

Us, surveying the damage, knowing it will take us weeks to put shit back in a way that makes sense for us: …uh, yes. Yes, of course thank you.

Them: WELL YOU DON’T SEEM GRATEFUL!

Us: 😒😒😒😒

@AndyLeeParker1 @phaylen @PasekKarel Insurance companies have reinsurance for major catastrophes such as this.

On February 3, a horrifying railroad accident took place. A Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. You might've seen images of the flames, but you probably haven't heard that unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. 🧵

BREAKING: The City of Toronto has officially voted against implementing 24/7 warming centres to protect unhoused people from suffering & freezing to death.

The way this city treats unhoused people is just disgusting.

@Cdn_Eliana @nilikm This technology can skim off other people’s email addresses. Ever received a call from a number except the person who owns that number isn’t the one making the call? It’s like that, but with emails.

Remember when “I Love It” by Kanye West & Lil Pump was released and we all collectively listened to it for an entire season? No? Ok
