@fuzzymittens Oh and to clarify, I didn’t even have a hybrid Sorento - the regular Sorento had almost as good mpg as the Highlander hybrid. The new Sorento hybrids and plug-in hybrids look awesome! I drive an EV now (older i3) and the new KIAs have such better ranges.

Is #LongCovid a "real thing," #MedTwitter? I'll let you decide.

It can get better. Pacing. Rest. Forgiving yourself for needing to heal.

If you’re all of a sudden having weird symptoms: extreme fatigue, numbness/pain, chest pain, acid reflux, irritable bowel, shortness of breath, dizziness, changes in senses, onset of diabetes or other autoimmune diseases, & you previously had COVID… you’ve now entered Long COVID

@RyMB At the airport on the way home from my first in person conference + travel post-Covid and I am BEAT. The people-ing drain is reeeeeaaaaal.

@CanadianKayMD Out in the northwest a lot of brewpubs and tap houses have a kombucha on tap - I really like that option because it’s tart and a little fizzy - feels festive.

@JessColumbo One of my bee baths!!

[Erica Erland @eerland]

@JessColumbo And here’s the PowerZone page - cause I just made butterfly and bee puddles for the lake garden out of the agates and fossils we’ve collected. I didn’t know they don’t like clean water like bird baths…they want a little dirt/mossy shallow puddle. ❤️🦋🐝🪰 https://t.co/UeiHTThH1B

👋🏻 Elder millennial here who only recently paid off school debt, all for student loan forgiveness. I. GOT. LUCKY. and consolidated grad school loans at less than 1% interest post 9/11. I didn’t work harder or sacrifice more. I had privilege. Glad others get relief!
