🧵1/ I've been asked a lot recently why I have been tweeting less about politics and more about food on this here bird app.

Here's the scoop.

On 1/13/21, my husband was diagnosed with AML. He suffered a heart attack during the first day of his admission.
2/ Since then, he's endured countless rounds of chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant, and a stroke. As he's recovering from all of this, it's become clear that he will not be returning to work anytime soon.

Biden is just ROASTING SCOTUS right now and it is glorious. This is the best speech Biden has given since he was elected.

Damn, this is good.

This press conference is a fucking disaster. He only starts crying when someone asks how *he* is doing. Jesus.

1/ My husband is officially 6 months cancer free, according to last week's bone marrow biopsy.

He had a stem cell transplant for AML last June.

The day he was diagnosed, his white count was 135k. (Normal is between 4k-11k.) 2/He went into respiratory failure, had a heart attack, was put on life support, and as he crashed, I was told his prospects were "not good" by his doctor.

I was told over the phone, because COVID was in full swing on 1/13/21, the day he got sick.

I could not be with him.

1/ At the height of the COVID epidemic first wave that hit the original ground zero, Seattle, Washington, my husband volunteered to work as an ICU doctor instead of seeing patients virtually in his practice. We took a large financial hit, but it was 100% worth it... 2/ Later that year, he was diagnosed with AML, a type of cancer that nearly killed him the same day he was diagnosed. I couldn't be with him while he was hospitalized because of COVID. I couldn't be with him while he underwent treatment because of COVID...

BREAKING: Don Lemon has figured out how to pickle rioting and disorder. I wonder sometimes if I'm the only one who gets me or if my jokes are just truly god awful.

This doesn't have to be an "either/or" situation, I suppose. 🤣🤣🤣

1/ Totally disagree. I grew up in one of the most racist, segregated places in America. When I got to college, my first dorm mate was a black woman. There were no black people in my town. None. My parents weren't racists, but the culture I grew up in was. 2/ If I hadn't gone to college, met new people, had new experiences, taken African American history, etc, I probably would have stayed in that racist town, married some Republican, and popped out some racist kids to perpetuate the cycle.

What am I baking today? (Part one of two…see thread.)

First one to answer correctly gets…something, I haven’t figured it out yet. Open to (reasonable)suggestions. What am I baking today, part 2.

11 hours.

That's pretty fast but it's hard to believe it took longer than the time it takes to write "fry him". Sorry, if you aren't near a screen right now, the verdict is in in the Chauvin trial.

Also, I'd like to know how you aren't near a screen right now.

I generally don't post updates about my husband's health on Twitter, but I'm asking a favor today.

For those of you who aren't aware, my husband was diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia) at the beginning of the year. 1/

➡️bethematch.org Darius' oncology team originally thought he could be treated with chemotherapy alone. It turns out, that's not going to happen. So, he needs a stem cell transplant, but no one in his family is a match for donation.

Maybe you are? 2/

I started to shovel my walk but I got tired. Luckily, it’s supposed to get warmer and turn to rain overnight so I came in to make banana bread donuts instead.

1/ My husband has been feeling poorly for a few days and decided to go in to be tested for COVID-19.

Instead, we just found out that he has AML: acute myeloid leukemia.

Or I should say, *he* found out. Alone.

They won't let me visit him.

Because of COVID-19. 2/ You probably don't know my husband and for that, I am truly sorry that you haven't met the best man I've ever known. This is a guy who opted to work with COVID-19 patients in the ICU instead of tele-health because he couldn't just sit by and watch.

I've read, but cannot confirm, that said Trump supporter was attempting to steal a painting of Tip O'Neill, tased his nuts, and died from a heart attack.

Trying really, really hard not to make any testicle puns. You guys, he accidentally tasered himself in the balls to death.

While he was stealing a painting of...wait for it...

Tip O'Neill.

Tip.

I'm sorry. I'm going to hell.

But come on.

"I didn't wear a mask.

I should've.

I didn't.

I believed it was just the flu.

That it was all going to to go away.

That it was political.

I didn't think a mask would help."

#WearAMask "My paramedic said, 'if masks don't help, why do front line workers get it at a lower rate than the rest of society?'

You don't want to end up like me.

I'm having trouble breathing.

I will get intubated if I get any worse.

It's so hard to breathe."

Thought about posting a thread of Rudy Giuliani making an ass out of himself but I think Twitter has a limit on how many tweets you can put into a thread.

But I'm going to give it a shot. 1/ Rudy Giuliani being an idiot.

It's time for GUESS THAT RECIPE!

What am I making with these ingredients?

And yes, it really is just these 4 ingredients. And what these ingredients make is kind of spectacular if you know what you're doing. (I do not. I made it for the first time and it is...well, you'll see.) As soon as someone guesses correctly, I will post photos and recipe!
