In some states, remote healthcare workers are being offered the vaccine before first responders, grocery store workers, and their 70+ year old parents. And they feel guilty as hell about it. My latest for @thedailybeast thedailybeast.com/these-remote-w…

It’s easy to think they should have just given their spot to someone higher risk. But that is explicitly prohibited.

In Maryland, all healthcare workers, even those working remotely, were in the first phase. Now the state is running out and high risk/high exposure essential workers are SOL (for now). washingtonpost.com/local/dc-virgi…

This is appalling and extremely gross

this guy is bad at lawyering

"a real sign of the times, these women being allowed outside the house, a real sign of the times"

I haven't said much about Robin Williams today bc...it makes me sad/I'm uncomfortable w/ feelings. But...

We went to same 12-step meeting for years. We never said more than hi bc...what would I say? I love your movies? Anonymity is kind of a big part of said meetings. (thread)

But he always gave you this kind of knowing smile when you said hi to him. Like he knew you knew who he was and that you probably felt awkward/excited just being around him and he was grateful you weren't making it a thing.

He kept a very low profile but he was unfailingly kind.

People organized a comedy night fundraiser for an underfunded something, but no one wanted to ask him to do a set bc...it was too "we know who you are." They just asked for volunteers.

12 years ago today, I woke up in an ER with a .4 BAC and cop explaining I was on suicide watch. I didn't know it then, but it would be the last time I drank alcohol. Since then, I've learned a few things about addiction I'd like to share in case anyone finds them useful. 🧵

1) there is no one right way to get sober. There’s a right way for you, and that’s all that matters. I try very hard not to shit on any recovery programs that have helped people. This is a potentially fatal condition, purity tests are harmful, cruel, and utterly ineffective.

2) Medication is not antithetical to sobriety; it is often a very necessary part of it. Find yourself a doctor who understands addiction and be unfailingly honest with them. Ignore judgment from randos. I repeat: purity tests are harmful, cruel, and utterly ineffective.
