@EdmundTsuiMD @aao_ophth @UveitisSociety @YoungUveitis @NANOSTweets @AAPOSeye hell yeah! I had to fire my new neuro ophthalmologist after his predecessor retired. he was an angry small white man who basically told me I didn't understand my own symptoms. definitely need more diversity in this field!

Florida passed a 6-week abortion ban today - once signed by the governor, it will devastate care across the South. https://t.co/tjitruQ8ww

@joshkimbre without a doubt, anti-racism training is essential. especially understanding the history of the racist war on drugs. follow the lead of harm reduction coalitions; harm reduction isn't just about drugs or sw, it's a whole framework to add humanity to our work in healthcare

THREAD. Many progressives are not paying enough attention to what is happening with Cop City in Atlanta. The level of state violence against local people organizing to protect an essential forest from becoming a training center for militarized cops is escalating.

@NYCJessa @jdesmondharris was going to write the same! losing friendships (and jobs) and mirroring others' behavior to fit in is a common experience for autistic people. the reason learning a dx could be positive is understanding own/others' behaviors rather than saying they need to "fix" themself.

I wonder for how long in my career my white patients will stop saying "oh I thought you were a student!" months after introducing myself as a midwife & NP 🥲

Do you support non-prescription access to naloxone (the opioid overdose reversal medication)?

Do you think naloxone should be available over-the-counter?

If so, the FDA wants to hear from you by 11:59pm EST January 17th!

ACCOUNTABLITY DOES NOT MEAN FORGIVENESS

Police killed at least 1,054 people through November 27, 2022. Police are killing people at higher rates in 2022 than *any year on record* in the United States. https://t.co/0VQVssyYOK

I have experienced involuntary hospitalization. Even with the loving support of friends and family, even with health insurance: it was the most traumatic experience of my life. Violence that you cannot comprehend. It's a big reason why I became an abolitionist.

This is evil.

@QueenMD202X +1 for diy diclegis (vit B and unisom) and one patient swears by bentonite clay and I'm curious if it's worked for others

@orneryscientist FUCK one flew over the cuckoo's nest. written by a men's rights activist to illustrate the evils of women in power. FUCK the Nurse Ratched trope it's fucking misogynist as FUCK.
