Last year, I was offered a job even after disclosing a stage IV cancer diagnosis. Highlighting the very best of workplace acceptance and culture. But today, my husband unexpectedly had a job offer rescinded after letting the company know he may need 2 days off, a month after starting to help me recover from a possible minor surgery. We’re both software engineers and both companies are in the healthcare space. The response he received highlights the discrimination that not only many patients face but also their caregivers. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disheartened and frustrated by their response. When faced with the choice, be company A not company B. We’ve faced bigger hurdles and come out on top, so on we go. In other news, if anyone is looking to hire a talented software engineer w/experience in healthcare. I know a guy 😉 Here’s a photo of us on my birthday this year. We celebrated with a hackathon building tools/apps for cancer patients. Yes, that was my actual birthday request. Things get real nerdy around here.

Just imagine what the wear-and-tear is like for stage 4 cancer patients trying to travel from Louisiana to NYC to fight for their life. It’s past time for @PeteButtigieg and the @USDOT to step up and fix the airline meltdown instead of passing the buck to the carriers. – at Lake Charles, LA

The New York Liberty had a 13-hour travel day that included bus rides, commercial flights and time spent at three airports to get from Connecticut to Las Vegas. The wear-and-tear on their bodies is one reason players are lobbying for charter flights. apne.ws/eujfkYI

BREAKING: The 'fake' account of the supposedly White female Democrat and former field organizer to elect @JoeBiden to the @WhiteHouse Erica Marsh (@ericareport) has been suspended by Twitter. She recently tweeted, "Today's Supreme Court decision is a direct attack on Black people. No Black person will be able to succeed in a merit-based system which is exactly why affirmative-action based programs were needed. Today's decision is a TRAVESTY!!!"
