"But maybe you touch one life
And the world becomes a better place to be
Maybe you give their dreams another day

That's why I keep going, right there. My symptom profile is high octane nightmare fuel, but as long as I can make a difference, I have something to fight for.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

We knew Ningaloo’s coral bleaching was severe. But what we found 6 months later was still a shock
Mounting evidence shows the state of coral reefs is worsening despite concerted local conservation. The answer is public pressure for meaningful climate action.

Tell your doctors the pulse oximeter racism problem is an issue of concern for you. Even if you're white, tell them. The issue is known, but we need to lend it urgency.

#MedSky #NEISVoid
#NEISVoid #MedSky this issue needs to be on everyone's lips until we have a solution in place. A lot of PoC died during early COVID because oxygen wasn't being given out without low pulse oximeter readings + they have trouble with dark skin. The issue continues to this day.
That reminds me, I need to talk to my doctors about the pulse ox issue again. They're much better than most, but it's something that needs reinforcing.
