From the left: two children looking back and waving, a man holding a crutch under one arm but not using it, a woman in a wheelchair, a man pushing that wheelchair, a woman in the background with a hand muff.

🎶 On the 12th day of Christmas, ADHD gave to me:
12 emails avoided
11 bills unopened
10 hobbies started
9 piles of laundry
8 cups of coffee
7 hidden late fees
6 interruptions
5 LOST KEYS
4 hours of sleep
3 missed texts
2 restless legs
& a lifetime of low self-esteem!

Not opening the @nytimes today in solidarity.
Over 1,100 New York Times workers are now officially on work stoppage, the first of this scale at the company in 4 decades. It's never an easy decision to refuse to do work you love, but our members are willing to do what it takes to win a better newsroom for all. #GuildStrong!
Thank goodness Senator Warnock won. But really, thank activists in Georgia, especially the black women leading the fight.

Cardiologist Rae Duncan's compelling 12 minute summary of why we must not give up on reducing COVID transmission (extracted from a long discussion, see my next tweet). Her conclusion: "I hope to God I'm wrong" youtu.be/XKE1QcM7WUI
I'm going to miss Disability Twitter most of all if/when this platform bites the dust. Twitter has always been a bit of a mess, but it's also been a way for marginalized people to have a voice and community.
