Seattle Metropolitan Magazine has updated its Big Seattle Reading List and my first book Altitude Sickness is still on it.
Which pleases me greatly as I finish my second book Side Effects May Vary: A Novel. Thx, Seattle Met! ❤️📚

Diapers alone can cost 8% of a person’s total income if they are earning the federal minimum wage. Great news about .gov’s investment in the first-ever federally funded diaper distribution program.

if you’re in new york, you need to be paying attention to what happened to jordan neely. you need to understand how important bystander intervention is. and what you’d do to step in if you witnessed someone being harmed. he was just a person asking for help.

Senator Warnock, whose kids are on lockdown with an active shooter at large in Atlanta, tells his colleagues gun reform must happen now because, “in the words of Dr King, ‘The time is always right to do what is right,’ and that time is now.”
He’s right
I hope his kids are safe

Fuck any “publication” running that photo of Jamie Foxx in hospital bed and fuck the person who sold it, along w/ their own soul.

Praying for Jamie Foxx and all his loved ones♥️☀️

Jamie Foxx is reportedly still in serious condition from an undisclosed health issue after being hospitalized for 3 weeks now.
His friends and family are asking to “please pray for him."

All these vaxx conspiracy theories about Jamie Foxx are so ridiculous. There’s a reason High Blood Pressure—which is prevalent in the Black community—has been termed The Silent Killer.
HBP has been affecting folk for decades, yet tinfoil wearers swear it’s the jab.

I finally broke down and did a fundraiser; I have no other options right now and I need support to move forward.
This is my first time doing this and I would appreciate all the help you can give me.

Exactly.
And to be clear, #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis & #LongCovid are different illnesses, but they’re strikingly similar.
3 M Americans already had M.E. before Long Covid struck.
These illnesses are a nightmare & most physicians know little to nothing about either:
Quote Tweet
If you’re a physician and you’re not seeing the effects of Long Covid regularly, you’re probably not in active clinical practice.
It is stunning the amount of disability out there, and how few tools we have to address it.

If you’re newly ill &/or disabled—particularly w/ #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis or #LongCovid, each of which is profoundly isolating—please be good to yourself as we enter Spring.
Everyone is off doing stuff & you’re stuck in bed alone.
You’re not imagining it: it’s really hard.

2/2 I was in college when he discussed his crash diet w/ Vanity Fair.
He said he lost 90 pounds & that instead of adhering to the diet & drinking water, he drank Diet Coke all day.
He also claimed he’d read 28 books at the same time.
Great designer, but hate-filled & batshit

Karl Lagerfeld was himself significantly overweight earlier in his career.
His fatphobia was probably borne of self-hatred:

I'm sure you're a good person who pets dogs & gives kids full-size candy bars on Halloween, but if you use the phrase "understood the assignment!" re any #MetGala attendee, I'll wish each bite of pasta you take for the rest of your life be undercooked.
Not al dente--UNDERCOOKED.

I LOVE the #MetGala and I'm not trying to be that guy, but all the photographers crammed together should be wearing masks and, so far, I've only seen one who's doing the smart thing.

Seeing some people say Tracee Ellis Ross isn't attending the #MetGala this year and I hope that's incorrect b/c I admire her for a million reasons and one of them is that, for me, she's the Met Gala Queen ❤️

A #Florida school district recently decided to yank from its high school library 8 novels by Nora Roberts — largely prompted by objections from a single woman who also happens to be a Moms for Liberty activist.
Nora Roberts isn't happy.
