Related, I created the @genehouse.co “Things We Say” dictionary that breaks down our cultural names for illnesses (so we will know what we and the docs are talking bout). If you wanna add a term, click the “Suggest a Term” link in the dropdown ☺️

Autism has always existed. They just didn’t have a name for it. The science wasn’t advanced enough back then. Same with ADHD. It’s why your granny said your cousin Tina’s kid was “touched.”

I was just doing some testing with editing the in-app family trees and it made me smile. Because to me, it really does feel like our own safehouse of health. I am so excited to be creating a SECURE place for Black people to document/store/utilize our family health history stories. 💙💚

it might sound silly, but what I love about the graphic in this post is that it accurately depicts the right-handed twist of dsDNA as well as the major and minor grooves when it comes to something so fundamental and so important, it's urgent and necessary to get the details right no room for slop

🗣️VIRGINIA!!! A positive TB case has been confirmed within Rockingham County Schools. This case was active in the past and is *not* actively spreading. BUT they are still doing contact tracing to see if anyone has a latent infection (which means they have TB in their bodies but it’s basically sleep)

Tuberculosis case confirmed in Rockingham County school; contact tracing underway

Local health officials are working with Rockingham County Public Schools to identify contacts of someone who had a confirmed positive case of tuberculosis.

Therapy, state specific assistance with gathering records and finding biological family, assistance w/ navigating genetic testing for health, support groups, and a section with adoptees sharing their stories. Nobody thinks of us. So I will. 🥚 (3/3)

There is an entire section being built within @genehouse.co specifically for adoptees. The first question we ask is whether somebody is adopted or not. And if they are, they enter a whole different section of the app catered to US. 🥚 (2/3)
