Gonna be a trenta kind of day.

Last year I got swabbed so hard I thought they hit my brain. Then I had to get swabbed later that day again.

Have just uploaded my access copies of my talk for #ASECS2025 ‘Disability and Environment’ panel 2-3pm EST this Friday. I am looking forward to hearing the other papers.

My slides are uploaded.

This is blatantly illegal and dangerous beyond belief.

Our national security is in the hands of complete amateurs.

What other highly sensitive national security conversations are happening over group chat? Any other random people accidentally added to those, too?

OMG. Zoom now sends you an AI generated summary of your meeting. It's pretty accurate except for one thing. It referred to me as "she" everywhere! #notmypronoun #they/them

The ASECS Women’s Caucus is looking for a new co-chair to serve a two-year term beginning July 2025. If you want to self-nominate or nominate someone, please message me.

I think @cignahealthcare.bsky.social automatically rejects every request my doctors make. Why can’t I get an arm monitor so my doctors can keep track of the secondary diabetes I now have thanks to metastatic breast cancer treatment? We need the data to make life altering decisions about my care.

Thanks to all of you who shared my posts. Cigna decided not to reject my doctor’s third request for a PET scan.

Works for me.

The Georgian era is the era of the pun not the Victorian #Radio4

Love you.

Feel free to share my posts about Cigna and Accredo because they only respond to public shaming.

Cigna forcing me to use Accredo pharmacy has lead to me being in a situation where I can’t get my chemo. And Accredo has been gaslighting me for weeks. Today I thought about quitting my treatment and just letting the cancer kill me. Because I can’t keep begging for care.

Fuck

Cigna is denying me a PET scan bc. they state it is not medically necessary based on their clinical guidelines. I have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer spreading throughout my bones and liver. My insurance company says I don't need the only scan that can show what's going on!

I could do that.

I have metastatic breast cancer.

Unpopular opinion: Lainey Wilson should have won. Not Beyoncé. And yes I have listened to both albums.

What famous film haven’t you seen that everyone would think had seen? Tonight I’m watching Sister Act. How was it that I never watched it? 🤷‍♂️

Woke up with this song playing in my head. I wonder why.

I’ve been away from home for a month and coming back is weird because I still have my Christmas lights up. I just received lots of Christmas cards. I’m watching the Doctor Who xmas episode. It’s like time travel for me!

Also: love Ncuti Gatwa.

I’m going to start using this app more now that Fb decided my profile would follow Vance. How the hell did that happen? I had to unfollow someone I never followed? Not to mention someone I detest.
