Just doing some digging. #Pain is extremely nuanced. And the approach should also. W my kids #health & #pain there has been continued lack of knowledge, assumptions, & unwillingness to understand.

#Afscheid nemen bestaat niet….ik ga wel weg maar verlaat jullie niet.
Alles wat ik deed deed ik vanuit mijn #hart. Alle #kinderen, meer dan 1000 die ik uit de #jeugdzorg haalde vertelde ik dat alles wat ze vanuit hun hart deden goed was ook al waren anderen het er

Alles wat ik deed deed ik vanuit mijn #hart. Alle #kinderen, meer dan 1000 die ik uit de #jeugdzorg haalde vertelde ik dat alles wat ze vanuit hun hart deden goed was ook al waren anderen het er
niet mee eens. Ik leerde ze achter hun eigen #beslissingen te blijven staan hoe ze er ook om #veroordeeld zouden worden en ik leerde ze een eigen #mening te vormen. Vrijwel al deze #kinderen werden uitgekotst door de #school of #maatschappij. Ze werden #opgesloten #afgesnauwd en
onterecht uit hun huizen #gesleurd. Allemaal zijn ze goed terecht gekomen. Niet 1 kind viel uit.
Dat dat zo goed ging kostte mij mijn #kop. Uiteindelijk sloten ze mij op en maakten me helemaal kapot. Ik moest er zelfs voor in het #buitenland gaan wonen mijn #zoon achterlatend

Fantastic presentation by Sophie Weeks of @polareducators at #ASSW2023 that made me think about how to communicate across knowledge systems🧵 #Arctic #Indigenous #IndigenousKnowledge #bridging #traslating #Westernscience #policymakers
with different epistemologies, ways of knowing, ontologies, understandings of nature and human existence, and axiologies, values, value judgements, and ethics.
Using #art to demonstrate that even working within one knowledge system has translation issues when shifting mediums from drawing to speaking or reading. The drawing demonstrated that objectivity is in fact a myth, having scientists all draw the same thing can demonstrate that.

Let’s get 1st thing straight - this 🧵 is no insight into the near 15 yrs #advocates fought for #paidfamilyleave at the CO state Capitol before #voters passed it on the #ballot
I, like many folks - came into the advocacy for #FAMLI yrs after lots of fight. Grateful to have it

Many of us worked on the #ballotmeasure in 2020 & #voters approved the program by 57% of the vote ✨ the amount of barriers set in place to #advocate for #paidfamilyleave & #pass it & then #implement it - have been eye opening 👁 to say the least. #copilitics

History Lesson 📝
In the past, too many decisions in #CriticalCare were guided by fear. We oversedated patients for too long out of worry they might self-extubate & pull off restraints.
That’s happening again 🤮

3/ We kept patients immobilized due to an overly conservative approach to fall prevention that precluded us from attempting to walk them early. We kept families away from patients, treating loved ones as visitors rather than members of the healing plan.
That’s happening again.

"The concept of social justice often refers to human rights, centered around improving the lives of groups historically marginalized based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion and disability."
"As part of the #CSforGood movement, we decided to shine a light on how Computer Science can serve as a catalyst for social justice. #CSforSocialJustice"
@mike_yung @PrairieTheatre @Brittan60572844 Rant incoming. This is exactly why I'm flipping pissed there's no attention on this b/c nearly everyone is assuming the wrong narrative. Press & politics aren't picking it up because they're AFRAID of it being an #LGBTQ+/#trans issue w/o looking past it & seeing the REAL story.
@mike_yung @PrairieTheatre @Brittan60572844 Cyberbullying has infected our community. These users carry very far-right beliefs w/ a very specific agenda: dump Trudeau, dump Singh, cancel The Social, praise Don Cherry, celebrate Adam Skelly (now) & TARGET OUR COMMUNITY. It's incredibly linear, systemic & super predictable.
@mike_yung @PrairieTheatre @Brittan60572844 Considering the political leanings and the fact that it's oh-so-coincidental that OUR community is getting heat, especially yours truly, I struggle to not imagine DW blowing a dog whistle especially considering his COVID beliefs & political leanings, including w/ Gary Marshall.

As a confident WOC willing to enter male dominated, non-diverse spaces (women >20% of my class & rare in tech)
I hear from men and women:
I take up too much space, I talk too much, etc, etc.
If invited 6x to podcasts in 2019, is that "too much"?
Who decides?

I'm successful as an advocate, having been a Health Advocate of the Year in 2012 by @Drsforamerica in 2012. Part of being an advocate is bringing issues to the forefront that may not be the priority of decision makers. One communicates on it (albeit, at times, relentlessly)
Another great episode in this series.
Important reflections on the contrast between workplaces that support and value the well being of the staff within them, and those that don't.
Must watch for leaders within #mentalhealth services who wish to create compassion cultures.

February 29 (the rarest day) is #RareDiseaseDay and this matters a great deal. It matters to me and my family, but also to millions of others who have stories similar to ours. If you follow me on @Twitter, you probably know some of my story.
I don’t want to bore you by telling it again, but I do want to talk a bit about what I’ve learned since my #diagnosis and since becoming a #RareDisease #advocate.
The first thing I learned was that even though it was a relief to have a diagnosis...(i.e. some sort of validation that there was a reason I didn’t feel well my whole life), it was really really hard to come to terms with having this new label.

I have a grievance regarding my mom's care during her bout w/#sepsis. #dementia
At the end of October 2019, my husband & I awoke to find mom's breathing labored, & her mumbling to let her sleep. We let her rest. A fever spiked within the hour, & suddenly she became deathly ill.

She was twitching, sweating profusely, in full rigors, & unable to sit up/speak well. She looked TERRIFIED. I thought she had a stroke. Turns out, it was a high fever from an infected gallbladder. She landed in the #ICU. ALL her vitals were jumping around. It was horrible.
