21 months and counting with long COVID - this thread makes sense to me.

I'm mad as hell that @.burgun_dre isn't getting enough attention.

She is a Black Deaf woman.

The police were pissed that she wasn't following orders that she couldn't hear because she's Deaf.

@OregonGovBrown why are long-COVID sufferers not on the current vaccine eligibility list?? You shared my long-COVID story on KGW. The vaccine has shown it resolves symptoms. Why are you making us wait and continue to suffer?

@JasonMcNamara Wait, Schitt’s Creek is supposed to wreck you emotionally? I must be watching it the wrong way.

@chasestrangio They need to be separate. Knowing biological sex is important for medical research but knowing gender is important for the healthcare provider/patient relationship.

@Flyin_Harts @jahochcam Yay, got you 2 connected! 😁

[Lee Loeffler (she/her) @leemloeffler]

I use GoodRx for a discount on a Rx my insurance won’t cover.

[Lee Loeffler (she/her) @leemloeffler]

@jahochcam I know someone, but she’s not on Twitter. How can she connect with you? She is willing.

[Lee Loeffler (she/her) @leemloeffler]

Blind and low vision. I agree language matters.

[Elsa Sjunneson, an Actual Bat @snarkbat]

I want to talk for a minute about language we use to talk about blindness. Because it's been in my timeline a lot the last 24 hours.

I'm not visually impaired. I'm blind. Some folks may identify as low vision, that's cool too.

[Lee Loeffler (she/her) @leemloeffler]

Feeling this.

[We keep us safe @thequeengeek]

A friend just said to me "Are we supposed to be working during the coup?" and honestly it was the most American thing I've ever heard.

[Lee Loeffler (she/her) @leemloeffler]

No doubt.

[Ida 🇵🇸 @ida_skibenes]

If this actually happens, if they actually win, the discussion is over:

Stacey Abrams saved America.

Now that Biden won, watch me not wear his name on my hat and not put a giant Biden flag on my truck and drive around with it for 4 years like a fucking weirdo.

@NovicSara For several Christmases when I was young, I had a small but real one in the hallway between my room and my sister’s, decorated with pink lights. We loved it.

[WheatNOil @WheatNOil]

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

[Deb Haaland @DebHaalandNM]

A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior.

Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce. I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land.

I am honored and ready to serve.

@JasonMcNamara I have a vodka gimlet with your name on it.

[Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown]

Many Oregonians are "long haulers," experiencing lasting health impacts from COVID-19. Their stories are another reminder to keep up the important work of reducing the spread of this disease in Oregon to keep each other healthy. https://t.co/MG359okqXj

It isn’t that you ‘don’t need to provide captions because you have no deaf viewers’ - you have no deaf viewers because you don’t provide captions.
Don’t get it the wrong way round in your discussions. #Deaf
