@norascience1 Thank you so much. Won't be on here much, but I'll post a final Tweet by the end.

[Jess A. Millar 🦠 @JAMicrobe]

We're close to the end. Bladder doesn't work and kidneys have stopped filtering. Doctor is trying a med to trick the kidneys to work, as they don't seem damaged. I think my body is just too tired. Still don't have the vitals for hospice.

[Jess A. Millar 🦠 @JAMicrobe]

@gailkuhnlein Yeah, it's the final stages of long COVID. A few friends flu in for goodbyes. Thank you so much.

[Jess A. Millar 🦠 @JAMicrobe]

I messed up and got myself in a situation where I was pushed to my physical limit over the span of a few hours. Things are pretty bleak. It's likely we'll be starting VSED in a week or two. Going to consult with my death doula tomorrow.

protests are good unless they do anything in which case they are bad

🚨Too Real rn update🆘

Haven’t finished processing what just happened.

I just know I need more help.

I just cannot do what needs to be done, consistently. Even to crowdfund.

Let me explain.

@SplendidSpeseia I feel this. Haven't gone for disability, but medical marijuana is a hurdle in Oregon. Came in with 60+ pages of documentation to prove I was trying to fix things on my own. Went to Michigan with the same pile of papers, they barely glanced at them and approved me.

@_super_bass Make sure to get one that doesn't have a history of turning in users internet histories to the court. They also tacked on fines for accessing through VPNs.

[Jess A. Millar 🦠 @JAMicrobe]

@DisabledStem That doesn't sound good. I had a small nick that resulted in infection with a raised boundary that didn't change over time. A few days in the zaps started. I was told on the phone to immediately come in. My mom had the same thing happen. You might have to take the financial hit.

@expcharlee I always super appreciate Downdetector as a sanity check:

“I refuse to build technology that powers genocide.”

A Pro-Palestine Google Cloud engineer disrupted Barak Regev, Google Israel managing director During a tech conference held in New York City.

The worker protested Project Nimbus, a contract to sell technology that could be used to survey and harm Palestinians to the Israeli military and government.

Soon after, another protester disrupted Regev by saying, “Google is complicit in Israeli genocide.”

THEN WHY ARE WE GIVING THEM ANY MONEY AT ALL

[Jess A. Millar 🦠 @JAMicrobe]

@Molly_Macleod Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

[Jess A. Millar 🦠 @JAMicrobe]

Unfortunately things have been deteriorating a lot faster than I thought. #LongCOVID seems to be playing off my EoE and accelerating each other. I'm loosing cognition fast.

I'm going to be choosing VSED in the coming months. I've found a death doula and they're very supportive.

[Jess A. Millar 🦠 @JAMicrobe]

@SplendidSpeseia Always fun to embrace more people under the trans umbrella! I'm so happy for you and that you have the bandwidth to explore and know yourself with everything going on.

[Jess A. Millar 🦠 @JAMicrobe]

@Tinu I super appreciate your thoughts. And I'm really hoping things go well for you and you can get access to the expensive treatment. Right now I'm very lucky that I'm able to stay with family and they are supportive. Going on a last trip this weekend while I still have the energy.
