Just a thought- can our med societies and organizations for womens health have their national meetings in places that support people who menstruate, trans rights, or general safety of women?
I’m supposed to go to Orlando for the menopause society annual meeting? What if I were pregnant…🧵

This. This is why I wear n95 inside
This is why I don’t do indoor dining. This is why we request you stay in hotel when visiting rather than with us.
This is why we’ve upended our lives, moved to Los Angeles to have more warm weather and more outside time.
Long COVID is no joke.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I’ve been told I’m “too comfortable speaking up”
I’m too comfortable saying the things that are on everyone’s mind.

Omg! Definitely the right move.
I have a Masters degree in public health and went to medical school.
My initial principle loans total 400 grand.
With interest I am at 600 grand.
I have 25 payments left. To get forgiven.
I purposefully moved across the country to work at a qualifying hospital.

Idiocracy. The movie. But worse. Because the smart people are still complicit with putting capitalism first.
Ok folks, complete the logic here:

Covid is rampant in the US

People are taking little to no precautions

Recent studies show Covid infection, including reinfection, lowers IQ

In the future, we can expect Americans to have…..

Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets….
Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people.

It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies.

In that sense, the system is working very well.

But it is not working for the average American.

We need Medicare for All.

Ditto.
If we don't publicly criticize this administration & the illegal things they are doing, we are complicit.

We're conditioned to not put a target on us, of course. For good reason. But today, we have no choice. In my lane, I fight for female health research & access to modern ♀️ care.

Fight on.

⛅ Morning.

"We ignite not in the light, but in lack thereof,
For it is in loss that we truly learn to love.
In this chaos, we will discover clarity.
In suffering, we must find solidarity."

I love my Canadian friends and family 🇨🇦❤️
After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers.

Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

Whelp- this is incredibly disappointing, yet, not shocking.

NYU Langone is one of the few hospitals in the country that's begun withholding life-saving healthcare for trans kids. Join us for an emergency rally tomorrow. Demand NYU Langone reverse this decision! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Here's a fact most Americans don't know:
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world.
The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits.
We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

Join me in reading “man’s search for meaning” to garner strength.
As an atheist of Jewish heritage I am finding this book incredibly devastatingly poignant and meaningful.
They cannot take away our knowledge, our strength, and our empathy.
So hey, deep breath my friends. This kind of stuff happened under W in the 2000s. It was painful & disruptive but scientists found ways, even sex researchers found ways around and through these regressive, broken systems.

It's bad. Do now what you want to tell people you did, when it was bad.
BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed.

Goes beyond MMWR +other CDC pubs. Applies to research already submitted to top medical journals.

Take a look.

Mask. The F up!
When I wrote my plea to maskless healthcare workers… I had planned it as a 3 part series

Then I had a number of health setbacks & couldn’t bring myself to finish

Today I was so utterly disrespected by a HCW that the words came flowing back.

Patients deserve better & I plan to keep fighting:
A Plea to Maskless Healthcare Workers from Vulnerable Patients
If you see a mask - wear a mask. Better yet - wear a mask all the time and show us you understand that we're still IN a pandemic. We are depending on you to keep us safe - please don't betray that.
