I want to make sure to write down my most beautiful memories so they exist even if my brain lets them go.

I cannot stress this enough: For most people with brain fog, exercise—and strenuous mental activity counts, because cognitive work IS physical work—is a completely inappropriate treatment, and could make them substantially worse. 17/ https://t.co/Gq8iylgNqZ

This is kind of random but public libraries are so important to me. I could go even far as to say it changed my young adult life. Library was a place to get away from unhappy home, get lost for hours in all the books, graphic novels, magazines, cd’s, etc. The summer reading

1) Most academics are unaware or out of touch with the real barriers and considerations disabled students face in higher education, especially grad programs. Here is a thread on what goes into it, and this barely touches the surface. #DisabledInSTEM #NEISVoid #DisabilityTwitter

One early indicator of memory issues, according to neuroscientist Dr. Richard Restak, is giving up on fiction. He has noticed that fiction requires patients to actively engage with the text.

Here are his other tips for how to prevent memory decline. https://t.co/LAXIaY7Prh

This all began as our rent increased and new fees were added to our monthly bill. Again, happy disability pride month. We exist and we deserve to exist. If anyone wants my Venmo, dm me!!

Happy disability pride month, everyone! Both the passenger elevator and freight elevator in my apartment building are now broken, leaving me with no safe way out of my apartment.

[Ariel / 丽恩 @noodlearms937]

The passenger elevator has been broken for over a month and my brother had been helping me access the freight elevator--ya know, so i had SOME way of leaving.

It makes no sense that as COVID becomes more highly transmissible, the dominant policy has been to completely abandon masks, when the logical reaction should have been to do the opposite and increase mask protection by recommending and distributing N95s to everyone.

tl;dr: In my n=1 personal experience this virus makes it hard to read what is going on in your body as you recover, and some of the cues I usually have are not there - it's like everything is hypersensitive but not announcing itself as such (yet)./9

Jesus was a liberator of the oppressed, not a mascot for the powerful.

4. By getting rid of the mask mandate, airlines are failing to provide a safe environment for their employees and customers. Apparently, turning planes into COVID Petri dishes is “good for business”. The industry solution is to deny it is happening. This enjoys union support🤡

🧵"I was horrified that two White men had beaten Vincent to death in public in front of witnesses. It showed me the kind of power White men had in America. They could kill a Chinese man with impunity."

Gatekeeping leads to mixed folks feeling ostracized and alone, not 'enough' of anything to really fit in.

This weekend, someone told me I am not a "real" Chinese person because I didn't live in China and one of my parents is white. My gut is still turning. Being biracial is weird.
