You don't have to wait until you've achieved more-- or achieved anything-- to love yourself. You can love yourself, you know, just because. In fact, it turns out that's kinda the best reason to love yourself.

Figured this out years ago, empowering, made a lot of men angry when I called them out. No regrets. Lol, still manage to forget, re-reminders are helpful!! Not your maid, not your mom, earned my own money, and not obligated to wifey benefits if I'm not one.💯 🥰❤️😘😘

I don’t know who needs to hear this but CANCEL YOUR JULY 4TH PLANS. Whatever you’re thinking it isn’t worth it. Cases are rising all across the country. Drink a beer at home. Your pool party bbq can wait, don’t be a dingus.

Systemic racism kills. It's in our community. It's in our hospitals. And because we are a part of society, it has been ingrained in us. Systemic racism kills, and if being a doctor is about saving lives, we MUST be part of the fight against it. #medtwitter

These tweets are a bit long. I should write a book. Give this tweet a ❤️ if you agree (and/or RT the 1st tweet of this thread). Maybe that info would be useful to agent and publishers/editors?

Naturopath: “We need to fix the ROOT CAUSE of measles by improving sanitation & nutrition!! 🤗” Okay Sparky, listen carefully: Measles...is caused by measles. The vaccine...stops you...from getting measles. It. Can’t. Get. Any. More. Root. Causy. Then. That.
😊❤️ But I do understand facts. According to WHO, Europe saw 83,540 cases of #measles in 2018 with 74 total deaths. Why don’t we see high death rates in Europe? Because most people there have access to proper sanitation, water and nutrition. Fix the root cause! #Samoa

Respectfully, My right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins. Vaccination is likely THE most effective means of protecting public health. Weakening mandates for protecting the vulnerable of our society is a step away from life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Out of curiosity, popped into the local drugstore in Guatemala and found these antibiotics displayed over the counter. Antibiotic resistance is growing, & it’s impact will fall hardest on the poor. So why are these drugs made so easily available? #antibioticstewardship
