Hey
@Delta
how come your FA on flight DL315 made me turn my personal HEPA off for the last 15 minutes of the flight? It’s been fine for the last 30k miles I’ve flown. Is there a policy against clean air?
@itsmichellehann
It’s like the McDonald’s hot coffee case. It’s easy to victim blame until you look at the actual details. A toxicologist showed how much caffeine it had compared to a shot of espresso. They could have made it caffeinated without making it insanely caffeinated with free refills
@1goodtern
29 year old former healthy active coworker- passed away of a heart attack recently. I peaked on their social media as we had lost touch. They posted about having Covid exactly one month before their heart attack and death. Fully aware correlation does not equal causation but…
2500 miles for my “inconvenience”
@Delta
? The “inconvenience” of risking my health and that of my high risk child is worth 2500 miles and a form letter 🙄
@ElusiveRural
Receptionist: “have you been exposed to anyone with covid in the last 10 days?” Me, looking around the waiting area of unmasked people, “yeah probably”. 😑
@marycatherinecr
@itsmichellehann
I don’t know. I don’t think the public would assume the amount of caffeine in a caffeinated lemonade would be more than a big Starbucks coffee. It’s a family causal dining with self serve drinks. . Readily available would be on the dispenser or the cup.
@karenkho
I have small, dense breasts. The first time the person reading it say “oh ouch they really got your muscle in there” 😐. Also wonder why we can’t go straight to ultrasound with dense breasts.
On the road (sky) again. 27 hours in CA. Enovid, aura, googles, hans sanitizer, HEPA blowing at my face. Aranet isn’t happy during boarding. I’ve seen at least a few more masks this week than last weeks flight.

I realized I was out of a psych med on a Thursday. Couldn’t get a hold of my psychiatrist. Called my PCP and asked her if she could prescribe me at least a few days of pills. She said no. I said I was going to go into withdrawal which is dangerous. She told me to go to the ED 🤬
@HillaryMonahan
Met a super mean shelter cat who was going to end up put to sleep. For some reason she liked me. So we tried to adopt her. We got denied be because we had a cat that went outside at one point in the past (our neighbor abandoned him). Had to have a friend go adopt her for us 😑
@mominmedicine
We have a kid with ARFID and my in laws stopped telling him to eat more/ try things so now they just loudly praise my other kids for being good eaters 😑🤬. I’m over it. Don’t comment on my kids appearance or eating habits, hard stop.
@KCDavisSays
Your preferred pad/ tampon times a few. My son hurt his face, badly, and I jumped in the car and drove off with just my purse. I had 1-2 backups in my purse which wasn’t enough for how long we were there. A nice nurse got me a few hospital pads but they aren’t the best.
@The_Ada_Rhodes
Yah as a 5’9 AFAB woman who has a deep voice, tiny bewbs and puts on muscle super easily, I’ve always assumed my hormones are somewhat effed up. Why stop at trans athletes. Why don’t we measure everyone’s hormones to make a level playing field (sarcasm font).
@KSternAZ
My spouse ends up with a medical emergency every single time he flies (which isn’t too often). He travels with his own stethoscope because the ones on the plane are, per him, “Fisher price” quality.
@abazoo_
@megzmoz
Yes a fetus has feet. But at 23 weeks they would look absolutely nothing like this. Stop trying to sensationalize this with a born child’s feet.
@DebraJ43
This is why we are pulling our kids from their all school sing a long. Our kids mask but nobody else does. They are so sad. But all of the kids will be singing their germs all over the place 😅
@AshleyGWinter
So many older “classic” books are completely male centered. I just change them when I’m reading them (both to my male and female children). We use gender neutral work terms- postal carrier, fire fighter, police officer. It’s so hard when “he” is the default for everything.
@myrabatchelder
@HHSGov
I got a text from CVS letting me know it’s time for a booster. I had the bivalent in September. Kind of want to just book it and show up.
@acweyand
@oddity1177
Couldn’t leave the house because I would bleed through a super plus tampon and pad an hour for 3-4 days. Ferritin of 12. Endometriosis and adenomyosis. Messy and awful.
@ASmolCreeture
@itsmichellehann
Large Panera lemonade has 390mg caffeine. Large Starbucks coffee,
Which is known for being stronger than other coffee places, is 330. So not the same.
@1goodtern
I was told I’m not allowed to donate HEPAs to my kids classrooms. I offered to help fundraise for them for all classrooms, still no. They just don’t want clean air, apparently. I won’t stop pushing but it’s exhausting.
@thatnrselife
Yah I have a kid with ARFID so they are bringing whatever they will eat that will get calories into them. Being shamed for their opinion on “healthy” will do zero good.
@amandalhu
My mom has legit shamed me twice recently and said “well if you aren’t even willing to see people with mild colds then we will never be able to get together over the holidays because (relative kid 1 and 2) always have a runny nose”. Umm okay yah no.
@MamaWeasleyy
We were novid until this morning. Do you have a good evidence based covid protocol to point us to? I’ve been screen shorting and saving stuff and now that it’s here I can’t find anything. 😔
@AJMooreHealth
@sarahwoolard
You rain acceptors don’t realize that we are all actually rain deficient from those two weeks last year that we didn’t go out in the rain. You probably want to use raincoats forever.
@DoctorDoood
@HillaryMonahan
The hilarious part was the friend of my mom was like “I want to adopt this cat” as she hissed and tried to eat her. The adoption worker was like, how about this one? And handed her a big friendly cat. Nope, I’d like this super mean one please.
@MrsPA_C
I don’t think it should be considered premeditation for looking up how long it would take for him to go get the food if she was suffering PPP. I also don’t understand if she was fully hospitalized and then bumped down to a day program, why she would be alone with kids at all.
@BlairWilliams26
Yes! Wore this bad boy (and his friend) to the last two days of conferences. Now hitting up the airport. Aura, could you make black masks? 🙏
@sarit_yael
I offered to provide two HEPAs for each of my kids classes (to keep the noise down) plus two years of refill filters and a hand vacuum to clean. I also offered to fundraise to do the same for other classes. I was told no - HEPAs are not alllows to be donated or used.
@DGlaucomflecken
Next time start singing the “face down a$s up” song to make them super uncomfortable. Also I’ve been there during a Hypogastric nerve block where I was face down with my lower back and butt on display for the entire surgical room. Fun times.
@acweyand
I had such a horrible time finding a pain doctor quickly and I’m in the metro Boston area. I was in excruciating pain that nobody could figure out after a surgery, after all typical sources had been figured out. And the waiting time was months and months.
@ladoctorajones
I had to advocate very heavily for lidocaine spray before my 4 uterine biopsies prior to my hysterectomy. They hasn’t even told me to take Motrin ahead of time. Just grab a cervix, put instruments up into the uterus and remove four pieces cold Turkey? It’s barbaric.
@1goodtern
Two non related friends of mine recently had “colds with dizziness”. I don’t think I’ve had a cold with dizziness in my almost 40 years on this earth.
@maosbot
Hair. But yes I use the head straps and just have to always put my hair up if I’m leaving the house. This is an additional issue in the business setting as I’m not the only one wearing a mask, but I’m the only female without my hair nicely done and down.
@hotty_antifa
@chantz_y
My roomate/ friend lost her sense of smell in a head injury accident. She could never eat food after expiration date, couldn’t enjoy food and wine much anymore, had issues knowing if she put on perfume or what her body wash smelled like. Many things you don’t even think about.
@oohheyk8
@itsmichellehann
It’s like 390mg of caffeine for a large with free refills. The “safe” limit for “most adults” is under 400mg. So yes technically it’s below that but barely and a lot of people are smaller than an average adult.
@Usnea13
I wish we could figure out a safer school option. Homeschooling isn’t an option for many families. We both work; and we have a child with special needs. Our kids wear Kn95s at school and so far (fingers 🤞) we all have not had covid.
@snarkypeds
I have a 7 year old child. Child. A massively smart one at that. A 6 year old is not independently able to come up and execute a plan to shoot someone in school. It’s. Not. Their. Fault. They are 6.
@1goodtern
Here in the US at least, kids are out of school from end of June through September. Somehow they don’t end up with immunity debt from being out of school for roughly the same time as the lockdowns were back in 2020.
@MamaWeasleyy
We have been so damn careful. Spouse is a pedi who also rounds at a hospital. He wears an aura daily and glasses but he had symptoms first so presumably patient 0. We haven’t eaten in a restaurant or been unmasked inside around others since 2020 😔
@DuchessSexpert
What the hell. Not even a seatbelt? It doesn’t matter if he’s driving slow. Large vehicle going slow smashing into large vehicle going slow still produces a lot of force. An air bag to her face. The possibility of getting ejected. I hate it.
@moss_sphagnum
School for me was presumably rejected because they KNOW it’s better and don’t want every other parent to demand them. I eventually wore them done and got them in my 3 kids classes.
@drseanmullen
Yah the Novavax finder is totally wrong. I called several rite aids, cvs, and Walgreens this morning plus two small local pharmacies. Nada.
@danaparish
A big warehouse with pallets of items waiting to be sterilized. And there are big signs hanging from the ceiling and one says “pet food”. And I asked why pet food would be in a sterilization facility. And they told me some brands, when there is a mold or bacteria outbreak,
@acweyand
Spouse is a pedi. In a network of other offices. They (the entire group) get incentivized BY INSURANCE COMPANIES for achieving certain vax rates. Now why would insurance companies want kids to be vaccinated. Oh right. Because it keeps them not sick and that is cheaper.
@1goodtern
Having trained people to work in very highly filtered clean rooms for manufacturing parenteral drugs, I can concretely say it is someting the average person has no idea about. Graphical representation of virus in air and air movement would be very helpful.
@a_h_reaume
I have no uterus and no fallopian tubes and I still have to answer multiple questions about if I’m sure I’m not pregnant at various appointments.
@jubunnies
Yeah. Mom group post “just got back from Disney and we got covid. This time it’s not going away- what can I do to be back to normal faster?” 😑
@1goodtern
Interesting. I got crazy knee joint pain for 2+ weeks after each covid shot and booster. I wonder if it’s related. This is in zero ways an anti vaccine statement. I’m hugely pro all vaccines.
@georgeshik
@KeishaBottoms
Can guarantee you would complain if she did actually take her makeup in the tiny bathroom and occupy it for 10-20 minutes putting on make up.
@Lee_CrollPhD
It’s terrible. None of us asked for or planned how to parent in a pandemic. Weighing exposure versus known safety of home day after day. We live in a cold winter area, so seeing people outside and eating outside is not an option, so winter makes us even more separated.
@JaymetheRN
I had to ask for numbing spray for my cervix for my 4 uterine biopsies. Dr said he “could try to find it”. I told him I would wait. He found it and it made the procedure SO much more bearable. Easy and should be routine.
