I’m a #triplevaxxed surgeon, now sick & isolating with #COVID19. I’m married to a #triplevaxxed rheumatologist MD & mom to 2 kids in Moderna 💉trial, all negative but #quarantining since 3 y/o is blinded to vax status. Wanna know how Hubby’s work is treating him? (A 🧵)

1/?
He works for a large private health company, so Families First Coronavirus Response Act /FFCRA doesn’t apply. He is staying home with the exposed kids (kid 2 is 3 yo & still blinded in the trial). His options?
1️⃣Use vacation time
2️⃣Take unpaid leave

2/?
He will likely test + in the next few days given the household transmission of #Omicron, and then will STILL either take unpaid leave or use our much-needed vacation time. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

JK Rowling is trans-phobic, a betrayal of Harry Potter's message. #RIPJKRowling means the author who brought us hope is dead, not the person. She's a death eater. A thread @HarryPotterFilm #TransLivesMatter
Dumbledore's message:

#Gryffindor (red & gold) is connected to fire; #Slytherin (green & silver) to water; #Hufflepuff (yellow and black, representing wheat & soil) to earth; & #Ravenclaw (blue & bronze; sky & eagle feathers) to air. #RIPJKRowling but #HarryPotterLives

Had a COVID test this morning for some mild cold symptoms so putting myself to bed with some light PhD related reading: Kay Redfield Jamison’s memoir about her experiences as a psychiatrist with #livedexperience.

Correction, KRP not a psychiatrist but a clinical psychologist & professor in psychiatry department.
Love this description of her own psychiatrist. Image
The value of her and other’s #livedexperience is evident in her descriptions of the research & training program she created as director of the UCLA Affective Disorders Clinic. Image

Even though Twitter polls are not scientific, here's what I learned from you this week. 58% of you knew that, people living with #HIV on effective treatment CAN'T pass on HIV to their sexual partner. That's impressive. #UequalsU
I've learned that, 75% of you have felt that alcohol and other drugs can impair your judgement when comes to #SaferSex decisions. That's understandable.
I've learned that the majority of you don't use condoms for Oral sex. This is not surprising. Picking up a bacterial STI from oral sex is lower risk compared to condomless vaginal or anal sex, but it can still happen. So #GetTested regularly.
