Living with one kidney now, it’s more important than ever that I keep an eye on it. Did you know that one or two kidneys, it’s important to check in on your kidneys at least once a year, especially if you have type 2 diabetes? Here’s how: #WorldKidneyDay

I'm so impressed by one of my favorite, fellow storytellers. She has quite a story of her own to tell... and the story isn't over.
Perhaps, you can become a part of this story and in the process, save a life!
2020 was ruthless. Let’s course correct in 2021. A starting point:
I tried to give my kidney to a stranger. Four days post surgery, it clotted and died. Please RT and help me get Jamal—a kind and talented Broadway performer—the kidney he needs. findjamalakidney.com

People with #diabetes have to make on average an extra 180 extra decisions per day. That on top of pandemic-related stress? It can be a lot.
Join me as we talk about how to handle diabetes burnout in today’s day and age. #DiabetesAwarenessMonth

Me: How long have you all been waiting to vote?
Woman: 4 years.
Boom.

Personally, I like the waves at the end of Zoom work calls. It’s like my friends pulling away in a school bus window.

This! 👉 “Normalizing mental health concerns can also mean that, if you’re a boss or in a position of leadership... you create a culture where vulnerability is acceptable by talking about your own feelings & life stressors.”

The mountains will always be in my blood, but I’m so damn proud to be a New Yorker right now.
People died for 120 straight days in NY. It is 64 days after peak.
508 cases/million at peak. Overall 20,600 cases/million.
32,075 people gone, 22,795 in NYC alone.
Yesterday, in every ICU, nursing home, ER & hospital bed, it was quiet. Not a single reported death. 16/

This tweet is gold, and its thread is everything. #mentalhealth
I’m an ER doctor. I’ve seen a therapist and have been on antidepressants. Our system considers this a red flag, instead of a positive signal that I’m taking the best care of myself possible. This needs to change.
When you go from a Facetime therapy session to a Zoom work meeting, there should be a Skype rideshare where you can get your shit together.

Be still my heart.
Wanna cry over something adorable? My colleagues at @ipswich_library have a 102-year-old customer who they've been phoning. She told them about a book her dad used to read to her when she was young. It's not available in eAudio so they've been reading & recording it for her.
