Pretty sure I was a mermaid in a past life 🧜‍♀️

Bad antigen results. Bad infusion. Bad week. And instantly I plunge back into #stage4 dying mode. When things go well, I stay in living mode. But the thing is, it shouldn’t be either/or. I’m always both living AND dying. And so is everybody else, #cansky or not. Gotta remember that.

Tonight we want to go out expressing our immense gratitude to our scientific, government, and broader public health community.

America’s scientific institutions are pillars of American greatness. As long as we stand strong, they can’t destroy the promise of America.

Are you a PI of a federal grant cancelled by the Trump administration?

Please share your info with the Democratic Staff of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, who launched this portal yesterday to track funding cancellations 🔭🧪

🧵I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about kindness since I've moved here to Aotearoa New Zealand and would like to share some thoughts. (Please bear with me!):

1. Kindness is learned. It's not innate. People are taught kindness by other people. We are creatures that learn by example.

Folks, please. When someone is diagnosed with cancer that is treatable but not curable, do not wish them a full recovery. Wish for effective treatment, good quality of life, strength and comfort, but don’t wish for things that aren’t going to happen. It’s cruel. Trust me, I’m stage 4.

I felt a quick moment of automatic anger toward people in front of me at the stoplight, seeing Trump/Vance stickers on their car. Then I wondered if they might have been the folks who donated blood for my transfusion (unlikely but possible), and my anger faded. #cansky

Love this! (I have a journalism degree. I wrote for newspapers and edited museum magazines. I look things up all the time!)
here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘
