The @AmazonHelp policy should be to deliver during normal working hours or at least give the customer the option to specify a latest time to deliver. I ordered a printer ink cartridge that i desperately needed to complete a print job. #Amazon offered same day - not SAME NIGHT!

It feels weird to do this but...I’m in need of community. I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. Everything feels surreal. It’s hard to grasp cancer at 31. Is there anyone with CML out there willing to connect? Stories + connecting help—I’d appreciate it so much.

Thanks @DrFrancesRyan for sensitizing the non-disabled to a critical concern affecting disabled persons, as the world begins to go back to work "as usual". bit.ly/3ieMMPx #DiversityandInclusion
