My baby's cancer may have returned and my insurance, @Cigna, is refusing to help cover a PET scan so we can find out if it has, and if needed, continue our work to save his life. No qualms about putting my child's life on the line for their bottom line. He is not even 2 years old

I am furious that there are PIs that put on a good face about diversity but bring BIPOC people into dysfunctional environments that cause them harm. I am starting a list of research labs I will never send BIPOC (or any) trainees.

The HIV virus takes 2-8 years to develop into AIDS. The HPV virus takes even longer to cause cervical cancer. We don't know what awaits us five, ten years post-COVID infection, but we keep taking outrageous chances.

Great thread on the promise and challenges of 988, the new nationwide mental health hotline…stay tuned for a story from @WSKG on how health officials in the Southern Tier are preparing for rollout! Story coming along later this week

Just scheduled a @FacesOfCOVID post for later today of a 22-year-old woman in Georgia who died of COVID-induced heart complications less than three weeks ago.

We are falling backwards.

"They edited out the sound of children screaming." One short sentence that breaks your heart. #Uvalde

"Rather than attacking the media, y'all should attack those cops."

Uvalde residents react after the mayor and a city council member called journalists "chickenshit" for releasing security camera footage from Robb Elementary. (h/t @ahylton26)

Been running into dads of my 3yo’s classmates and asking for their emails for his birthday party and so far 3 out of 3 dads have proceeded to give me their wives’ emails instead. This is now a social experiment.

@turnerwingo @BobbyBigWheel This is an article from the person who used to run that account. I have my students read it just after we talk about how Japan teaches/should teaxh WWII.

it's okay to be afraid. it's natural not to want to admit to that vulnerability. but it's so worth it!! the freedom you gain from using mobility aids is so worth it, whether you're 20 or 75. take the leap. (5/5)

"I Voted" stickers in Ulster County NY are designed by the winner of a student contest judged at the end of July. This year's leading design has more than 37,000 votes (94% of the total) which is a higher tally than the county saw in the June primaries.

If you don’t see how family separation and forced pregnancy are connected forms of state violence, notice how adoption is being promoted as the “solution” for both.

For everyone whose been asking about Indian tribes being safe havens for abortion care after #Dobbs, #SCOTUS just made sure they can’t be in this #CastroHuerta opinion.

[Elizabeth Hidalgo Reese (Yunpovi) @yunpovi]

This #SCOTUS opinion in Castro Huerta is horrifying and insulting to Indian people and tribes.
I’m shaken.
Every few paragraphs of the majority opinion has another line that dismissively and casually cuts apart tribal independence that Native ancestors gave their lives for.
