Friends and strangers, husband just got diagnosed with MS. He already has Type 1 diabetes and we are an autoimmune family…so we’re fine emotionally—no grief or shock—but I don’t know what I don’t know! 😬 What do we need to know asap? 1/2 #MultipleSclerosis

@CBSThisMorning @annawerner This is America’s healthcare. 😞 It doesn’t take an explosion - one accident, one diagnosis, one illness can *bankrupt* a family. How, as a society, are we okay with that?!?! Hoping Alexis gets the help he needs, and that we can get ALL Americans affordable healthcare soon.

@jfbeacom Glad it was appreciated! This attitude of a willingness to ‘make it work’ (and a VERY basic ~50 word ASL vocabulary) always makes me worry I’ll come across as…patronizing? Ignorant about something important? (Got anxiety, so I’m going to worry about something regardless, lol).❤️

If living prophets can’t be divinely inspired to know ‘the right thing’ regarding issues like racism, sexism, or blood atonement, how can we possibly believe they ‘just know’ when they insist their divine correctness on any issue smaller than that (i.e. nearly everything)?

Hey fellow #LDS #Mormons , I know this stresses some of you out, but the Church stance is pro-legal abortion. If we want abortions available for incest, rape, or health of the mother, that requires legal abortion. If you agree with the Church, you are also pro-legal abortion.

@SalvMattera Yes! My kids all got either strep or flu about 16 years ago, & daughter became diabetic. She has never tested Covid positive, but last year her appendix died, got infected, & she waited 6 months for surgery. Now she also has POTS. (Another son got T1 diabetes after strep, too!)

@RonWyden …not everyone has an awesome state government like we do. 😉Please include manual audits!!
Dear @AmyKlobuchar , @RonWyden , @JoeManchinWV : Why does your new voting rights bill NOT require manual audits starting in 2022?! Without this requirement, we can expect a repeat of 2020: Republican fraudits of Democratic wins & no meaningful audits of most GOP wins. #AUDITSNOW 1/

During Lent our congregation has partnered with a few other churches in the area to pay off medical debt in our county. By raising $30,000 we were able to pay off $3 million in our neighbors' medical debt.

With two kids at BYU and BYUI and a third applying for BYUH right now, this just...sucks. I love academic research, I hate propaganda; and that’s what they’re reaching for here. Replacing qualified with indoctrinated is not appropriate with paid-for, university-level education.😕

@PressSec In the same briefing, Psaki has said it's up to the SEC to monitor the Reddit/GameStop situation and that J&J vaccine approval will come from the FDA. Says it's "part of our education" to inform public that regulatory bodes are separate from the WH.

@scootmgoot @mykola Same. Diagnosed at 44 (also OCD/ADHD), but it wasn’t even on my radar. Autism never occurred to me due to a lifetime of debilitating empathy; it seemed to go against the ‘common knowledge’ about ASD re empathy. So much new and better info out there now! ❤️

Anyone have any book recommendations for that? Books like Bro Mason’s, but for truth/integrity claims, not a loss of faith? How do thoughtful and rational Saints deal with the century(+) of lying and hiding? The lack of humility or apologies? Does that book exist? ❤️❤️❤️

@profshanecrotty @profshanecrotty - help! Do you (they) still recommend if we are auto-immune predisposed? Me and husband have (different) autoimmune dx and half of our 6 kids have some of each, one has both. Still safe, or likely to trigger more autoimmune issues? We want to do the right thing.

The hospital bill for my first baby, before insurance paid, was over $100,000. We paid about $3K. When my 10 month-old had to be flown to the nearest major hospital for 10 days, the insurance ended up paying over HALF A MILLION DOLLARS; it took years to pay our portion.

Imagine one of those old western movie shootouts: the bad guys can’t help but give away their position every time they fire—a huge ‘bang’, a big puff of smoke…and the sheriff takes them out. Covid-19 is the same movie, but the bad guys have silencers and ninja training now.😬

@lingerie_addict Kind of makes me happy that they wanted someone else to get use out of it? Like, maybe they genuinely didn’t like the colors/texture, or had way too many handmade blankets? (First grandbaby got 15 baby quilts!!! FIFTEEN!) Instead of tossing it privately, gave it a 2nd life.❤️

@adhdjesse Same same same! I always thought it was courteous, but then was told quite forcefully in college that it made me sound ‘stupid, like I don’t even have confidence in my own ideas’…and I was like, “Well, yeah. I don’t. They’re just ideas. I can have 10 more weird ones right now.”
