An Israeli Jewish family offering dates to Palestinian Muslim worshippers outside Damascus Gate in Jerusalem during an evening in Ramadan.

A small yet profoundly meaningful gesture in a time dominated by hatred, dehumanization, and calls for revenge from both sides.

This is such a good piece about patient-led research. Thanks, betsy ladyzhets 📊!

'To be silent equates to complicity.'

Professor Jairo Fúnez-Flores talks about being suspended from the Texas Tech University for his social media posts on Palestine.

Can someone help me to understand U.S. Postal Service logic? They brought a parcel from Pennsylvania to New York City (its destination) and then, rather than delivering it, took it to Texas. There must be reasoning behind this, but I am not grasping it. #confused #USPS

If I were one of #ATT ’s competitors, I’d offer current ATT customers a free month, a ten-percent discount on a phone, and a clever card with a coupon for comfort food. I’d recoup the money in the time it takes a working phone to ring, and the PR would make my reputation soar.

For ATT, SOS means “Save Our Signal”. #attoutage #attdown #ATT

The misery that is #ATT has equally unhappy company. #attoutage

When Leonard came to our shelter a few weeks ago, we discovered that he has Mast Cell tumors that grow on his face and ears. They are benign and do not seem to cause him any discomfort, but are seemingly hindering his adoption.

Just heard back from a job I applied to, letting me know that the job 'does not come with a traditional salary,' instead, I need to 'create a team of partners who are willing to support me financially as the source of funding' 🤯 What kind of new dystopian BS is this now?? 😭

A hard-working #veteran ’s having a cascade of bad fortune: cancer, surgery, an extension of recovery time, his wife losing her job, their van breaking… If you can give money, please do. If not, please share the #GoFundMe link. #cancer #support gofund.me/0b6c51b4

respond to your sorrow
by accusing you, my friend,
of being too sensitive
you should take their accusation
and wear it with pride.

You know what, #medtwitter ? Fair warning: I’m coming into the week pretty pissed off. I spent the MLK day weekend catching up on reading and thinking about the experiences of people with #LongCovid , chronic #lyme , #MECFS and other PAIS. I finally read Brian Vastag’s touching 1/

As part of my research, I asked participants to share a single photo of their cat and also WHY they picked that particular photo. The commentary is *priceless*. My synapses are flooded with serotonin. I want more. I *need* more!

Show me your cat pic and tell me why *that photo*.

Let me find out I can be a stand in cousin at a Black kids graduation or prom cause they got homophobic parents.
WHERE DO I SIGN UP?

The conductor on the downtown 6 train (carriage 2102) is the kind of kind human the world needs. No idea where this beautiful person gets the energy and good will, but it’s wonderful that they have and share it. May their cup be ever filled. MTA #NYC #kindness #nycsubway #thanks

Every year I try to introduce a few more folks to my family's favorite part of the holiday season: BOOKSING DAY! Every year for Christmas, my immediate family -- me and my husband and our two teenaged kids -- exchange books for Christmas.

My Apple watch has a new trick: turning hours of exercise into nothing. The calories are noted; the ring moves not at all. What’s going on? #apple watch #apple #badtechday #malfunction ⁦AppleSupport⁩
