Since I’ve mentioned my hypothyroidism problems, I’ve had so many people reach out and say that their meds don’t do anything for their symptoms. If you have a thyroid issue, do you feel like your meds work? (Please comment your meds)

The reason I’m asking is: my meds work perfectly, I just couldn’t get a refill for a week. And I find that most people are prescribed generic meds instead of compound. As in — they aren’t personalized. So I would like to share with you what I take.

The normal test that determines your thyroid levels is TSH, in addition to that you can get a TRH test. That’s much more comprehensive and sensitive. After that you know exactly the dose of medication you need for YOUR body.

@GabbyGiffords

I’m watching @GabbyGiffords Won’t Back Down. A couple of things I want to say: number 1 being — Gabby is fantastic. @CaptMarkKelly is an amazing man, I wish every state had a Gabby and a Mark representing them.

Gabby’s recovery is not a miracle, it’s hard work by an incredible woman, who wasn’t going to give in to trauma. A miracle is something unexpected, something uncanny. Gabby is the opposite of that. She was a fighter and a bright light, is and will be. Nothing will brake her.

@StationCDRKelly

This family gave me such feelings of warmth and pride, and just as I thought I couldn’t be more surprised by them, I realized Mark’s twin is @StationCDRKelly … not only are both twins and accomplished astronauts … Scott is also an ambassador to U24.

🧵I was curious to see more pro “private gun ownership” posts for Ukraine. Funny enough it’s mostly Americans who are very vocal about arming UA civilians and “enshrining” loose gun laws into our constitution. So as a Ukrainian who spent half my life there and half in the US:

Very respectfully, Ukraine is not the United States and we don’t strive to carry and own guns. We strive to be in Europe and away from russia. EU, fortunately, requires very strict gun laws — so we will, luckily, not have to worry about that. But, I’ll entertain this conversation

1) Guns won’t help us stop tanks, artillery and missiles, which are the main forces behind the russian invasion; Our heavily armed, professional military will.

Oh, this is “woke” ignorant Americans talking about white assimilated Americans. It’s very often followed by “White people have no culture”, again completely disregarding the fact that the world doesn’t end at white assimilated Americans.

Americans live to see the world through the prism of the US.

So when this is being said it normally refers to what we would typically call a “Becky”, usually represented as wearing uggs, leggings, and a hoodie while holding a pumpkin spice latte. But the catch here is … that statement is as ignorant as Becky, who has never left the US.

You know what Russification is? It’s when a 10 year old child in Lviv, who speaks Russian fluently, feels superior to their Ukrainian-Speaking classmates, who don’t. Did their parents ingrain that in them? No. The media did. Russian shows did. Russian movies did. Literature did.

Please tell me how I, a Ukrainian child, in a majority Ukrainian speaking city, who went to a Ukrainian school and lived with an incredibly patriotic dad, at the age of 10 thought that my fluency in Russian gives me a leg up over my friends? Russification.

I remember watching shows that all glorified the “mighty” Russian culture. That put Russians on the pedestal of the Slavic world. See, it so happened that I’m good at languages, and that I speak the kind of “proper” literary Russian, with no “Ukrainian accent”.

@ZelenskyyUa

To all the “it’s @ZelenskyyUa fault” people: with or without Zelenskyy (preferably with) — we will fight. If we have a leader that wants to make concessions, we will fight against that leader. Because that person doesn’t represent us. What do you still not understand?

You call it “the Kyiv Regime”, as in a dictatorship. Zelensky didn’t force us to fight, he chose to fight with us, to our great surprise. WE ARE THE PEOPLE, of Ukrainian democracy and he speaks to our historical stance of combatting THE RUZZIAN GENOCIDAL REGIME. Not vice-versa

My mother and grandparents are Russian speakers. Are they any more Russian than my uber western Ukrainian dad? No. Do they think they are Russian? No, they rejoiced when a DNA test showed no trace of Russia.
