I abs love this Lauren. One of your tweets you said you wondered if it wld stay did disappear. I have been hacked since Dec and so haven’t been able to be on twitter etc, but it was a while ago. You must be a real threat to someone if they are doing that.

I love this quote. And I fell in love with Zora Neale Hurston when I was 19 reading her fiction. Later everything. She was such an amazing woman. A force of nature. I named my daughter after her. Her middle name. There is an amazing story written by Alice Walker where she 1/2

Looks for her gravestone. I won’t say much more. It is def worth the read. I read it 20 years ago and parts of it still come up easily like just yesterday. mrslivaudais.com/wp-content/…

He blazed a trail for brilliant humans like @TheAmandaGorman #SydneyPoitier
#SidneyPoitier was a pioneer for artists of color everywhere. At 9 I read he imitated broadcasters since he was ridiculed for his accent. For the next 10 yrs I did the same to overcome my own speech impediment. I owe my voice to him. Never EVER doubt that representation matters.

Yes, totally. I have an idea. Have the domains. Am rly excited @ it. It’s a mix bw those old school magic 8 balls that gave fortunes but no fortunes, pet rocks, but no rocks and the ability to see into the future. I do need an artist anyone s interested at all, pm me. :)

Wonderful! I am so happy to hear that for you! Yay. That makes my day. 💕
Thank you. I have been symptom free since January of 2019. My last dose was in March of 2018.

But why did anyone listen to him to begin with? But yes agreed.
It would make no sense that Kolodny’s opinion about anything would carry any weight now since following his theory and recommendations the #PROP, #CDC, #DEA combined their efforts to achieve a record breaking year of fatal OD’s from illegal drugs after safe RX’s were so scarce.
Oh god, please yes. It is not the year of the weasel is it?
May 2022 be the year news outlets/media stop interviewing Andrew Kolodny about the opioid crisis

I'm tired. I'm tired of being heartsick over people I care about suffering to death. I'm tired of gov's perpetuateing lies ("opioid crisis") to control populations, not for their own good but for profit. I'm tired of lies in research, media, Health Care, & pharma. I'm tired.

I❤️that friend. If you have a friend w a new illness or pain disorder and they need to talk about it constantly, let them. They are only doing it bc they NEED too! I wld like to send her something in gratitude, wishing she had been my friend but so thankful she had been yours!

Especially during the first 1,5 years of #MECFS I needed to talk about it all the time. A friend pointed out to me that it's only natural bc I needed to come to terms with it, gauge and understand my new strange situation. It helped a lot and now I don't need it anymore.

Med folks. Trying to explain that rx controlled substances are ubiquitous in health care far beyond “just” oral opioids. Examples so far—general and MAC surgeries, colonoscopies, vents (eg Covid, ARDS, etc), pain, adhd, oud, acute anxiety, some MI, SC crisis. Others?

Here are 6 recent studies & articles to show harms being caused by current push to de-prescribe opioids. We need a diff policy approach to opioid rX. This seems to be causing more deaths & suffering than allowing stable patients to remain on long term opioid therapy. #C50 1/?

Yes! I’m also just going to say Sun Tzu recently was a very helpful read again. Because there is no doubt, this is war.
I started out in advocacy by trying the 'nice' approach. Believing that if you were honest, nice, and appealed to logic, things would surely change. Being nice to our oppressors got us NOWHERE. In fact, being so nice emboldened them to abuse us even MORE. And now here we are. 😔
