Parents spent years begging for cleaner air, safer schools, & basic protections. They were told children would be fine. Systems are scrambling over hantavirus exposure in kids. The message feels painfully clear Children were always worth protecting. Society just chose not to

I had to spend an afternoon at the children’s hospital A little boy, IV in hand, walking out of oncology in an N95. His parents behind him, unmasked. Something about that moment I can’t shake—the smallest person in the room holding the most responsibility for his own safety.
Looking to connect with a Canadian health reporter. Several provinces, are no longer offering the COVID vaccine to kids under 12. This decision needs public attention. DM if you're interested in covering the story. #cdnpoli #covid19 #healthnews
Let’s stop pretending this is just about “comfort” or “personal choice.” Masks aren’t about fear. They’re about duty of care. They’re about science. They’re about respect for life.
Living in 2025 is just scrolling through apocalyptic headlines in between emails that say “hope this finds you well.”
Self-care is hard when the world is in collapse and your brain is like “should we spiral or just doomscroll with snacks?”
To the mothers who are no longer with us, the soon-to-be mothers, the mothers with babies up in heaven, the step-moms, the chosen moms, the moms who adopt, who foster, who surrogate, the women yearning to be moms, the women in mother roles, even the fur moms Happy Mother’s Day 💝
This Mother’s Day, I’m thinking about the moms who’ve carried more than most people will ever understand 🧵
Measles. Is. Back. A disease we had basically eradicated in the U.S. is now spreading in schools, hospitals, and communities. Why? Because misinformation kills. 🧵
We’re not “hanging on by a thread.” We’re hanging on by a nerve. Exposed. Raw. Snapping under the weight of a world that’s pretending it isn’t dying 🧵
It’s exhausting, being the strong one. The one who still cares. Still masks. Still warns. Still grieves. But hear this: You’re not alone. There’s an invisible army of the aware. Quiet, compassionate, masked-up warriors choosing truth over convenience

Repeat COVID Infections & Dementia A time bomb no one wants to talk about 🧵
Trying your best as a parent in a world like this is like walking a tightrope with no safety net. You love them so fiercely, but the world is a storm, & no matter how hard you try to shield them, it’s still coming for them. But you keep going. You keep trying. It’s all you can do
Fascism doesn’t win by convincing everyone. It wins by exhausting you. By making decency seem radical. By making resistance seem futile. By normalizing the absurd until you forget how bad it really is. Fascism has no place in a just world. Not now. Not ever.
Your immune system isn't a Tamagotchi that dies if you don't play with it. "Immunity debt" is a marketing term to make you blame yourself instead of bad policy. Getting sick constantly isn't normal — it’s a public health failure.
Sending kids into poorly ventilated schools and acting shocked when they get sick is like tossing them in a pool and being surprised they’re wet.
Every year, tens of thousands of people go to the hospital for help — and end up catching infections that cost them their lives. We have the tools that could stop so much of that pain and loss. It's time to talk about why we need permanent mask mandates in healthcare 🧵
2025 is basically a zombie apocalypse, but the zombies are us, and instead of brains, we’re after the last bit of sanity. #EndOfTheWorldIsNow #StayWeird

Fascism doesn't arrive waving a flag. It shows up when we're too tired, too distracted, and too flooded to fight back. A 🧵 about the climate crisis and the authoritarian creep:
It’s hard to grieve what hasn’t died. Friendships. Trust. Normalcy. They’re still there—just not the same. That’s called ambiguous loss. And it’s everywhere now. A quick thread 🧵
They told me parenting would be hard. They didn’t say I’d be managing airborne transmission, collapsed institutions, and mass delusion before my morning coffee. A 🧵 for the last parents standing:
Long COVID is real. It’s common. It’s disabling millions. And no one talks about it—because if we looked too closely, we’d have to change So instead, we decided: Let people get sick. Let kids struggle. Let the vulnerable disappear. Let the numbers stop counting.
Still masking in 2025? Absolutely. Because unlike “good vibes,” N95s actually filter viruses. A quick 🧵 on why I haven’t retired my mask (and neither should you)
The real flex? Still rocking my N95 while everyone else treats air like a shared drink at a frat party.
