My oldest daughter had a paper published (as first author) in the Springer Nature Switzerland about People with Intullectual and Development Disabilities. Using technology to meaningful engage. She & the other authors worked very hard. I am incredibly proud of her. Next up her thesis.

Kim Davis has been fighting to overturn gay marriage for years.
She’s been fighting to be absolved of denying a marriage license to a gay couple
Today she lost her last shot at an appeal.
The Supreme Court denied her request to hear her case and ordered her to pay $360,000!

FDA's Makary just had a little slip on PBS News - he said that no pharmacological treatment has ever had such a widespread beneficial effect as HRT except for antibiotics and vaccines.
Wait, what's that you said about vaccines, sir? A little louder please so your boss can hear you.

Power went out twice during President Zelenskyy's interview with the Guardian's Luke Harding
When the lights went out for the second time, President Zelenskyy said, "See? That’s life," & suggested continuing the interview without interpretation headsets, which also didn’t work without electricity⤵️

Seeing lots of flu earlier than normal and COVID. Waiting for tests to come back BUT no matter where C19 ends up this is going to be a BAD FLU SEASON.
Mask up in public and while the shot may not turn out to be a great match it can still offer protection.
Masks on, sleeves up.

After leukemia treatments failed, Alyssa, at age 13, was told she would die. Then, doctors tried an experimental gene-edited therapy. She became the 1st human to try the treatment made possible by U.S. federal funding. Now 16, she’s cancer-free. RESEARCH SAVES LIVES

Yet another Russian drone attack on #Kyiv last night.
Residential buildings hit once more.
Three people killed by Russia. 29 more injured.
Six of those 29 are children. The youngest is four years old.
Russia doesn't hold back its attacks on Ukrainian civilians.

Something unexpected happened at the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria.
A group of young Afghan girls who escaped the Taliban showed up and asked to speak. They told their story of the fight for education and the need for Canada to help.
We will be sharing their story.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

The goal of healthcare is not to increase the GDP
It’s to make people healthy & tend to the sick. It’s not supposed to be a money making scheme
Dr Oz saying that to “flourish in life” you must engage in the workforce is useless eater rhetoric
He wants you to see the sick & disabled as expendable

we must refuse to debate the worth of other people.
We must agree that everyone has value at a human level, and that it’s not tied to their health, their job or their bank account.
When we start allowing ourselves to debate someone’s worth, we’ve already lost.
You are worthy, just as you are.
