My 29 year old friend had chikungunya. She struggled to ride a bike a year after her infection due to the pain in the joints of her ankles and feet.

We figured out to *cure cancer* (ref: last year’s pancreatic cancer trials) and the Trump administration decided β€œnah.” That a society could reject a cure for cancer is astounding.

That’s alright. China will develop them instead.

This is so important! And one reason patient advocacy organizations are so vital. In the field of medical research, we help patients navigate the speed bumps of jargon so they understand their disorder or disease.

You’ve proved my point.

Money isn’t real until you’re in line at the grocery store.

A $70k truck is, in fact, a very extravagant purchase. The issue is not just what we buy, but how we buy it. The worst thing boomers did for us is normalize credit card debt.

And there are very few Americans that are ready to take personal accountability for their financial decisions, it seems.

Thank you! Calling out the evasions…why is that so hard for most interviewers?

I recently went on a Disability Moms adventure retreat with 50 badass women. Someone hacked a bunch of our credit cards. They have no idea who they’re dealing with… we solved that shit in 20 minutes.

May we all remember that she also assaulted women and girls

I’m not sure I would eat something that someone was forced to sell me. 😬

I’m no expert on any of this but my thought as a mom has been β€œif you can’t play nicely together with the Holy Land, then neither of you get it.” This seems like β€œI’ll let your brother Egypt play with it instead.”

I want to feel bad for these victims because I do believe they got tricked, but I just can’t.

Aw man. My friend designed this campaign. She is not a eugenecist.

Yep. Raising 3 to 4 Million dollars for even the *chance* of a treatment is a lotta bake sales.
