A young woman from Virginia was in the middle of a road trip when police pulled her over, because Flock flagged her vacation route as "suspicious." This is unacceptable — where we drive is none of the government's business.

I'm sorry about the lack of alt text, it would be better to go directly to purchasewothapurpose.eu for the list.

Just went to a really amazing meeting with Democratic Women of Boulder County @demwomenofboulder.bsky.social featuring Loretta J Ross. She spoke about her book Calling In. I really recommend it, especially for people on the progressive/left spectrum who want to be able to reach more people.

A4: This probably goes back to Q3 for me. I think we need to do a better job of respecting older teens especially if they've been at it for 3 or 4+ years, and looping them in more. Also, listen to parents and patients more-just because they have questions or ask about other solutions doesn't mean
I’m on a mission to make things better for #AYACSM individuals! Our last question Q4: What is one thing you would want to share with healthcare providers regarding your experience? #AYACSM

I also feel #chronicpain isn’t talked about enough. There are levels of AYA’s from the younger end to the older end of the age range and then those like me who’ve aged out but still young…#AYACSM
Thank you for sharing @warriormegsie.bsky.social ! It’s these invisible issues that people don’t see and think you should be doing better but don’t understand, #AYACSM

A3: One thing that I know helped her was teen nights/groups through the hospital for cancer patients, and camp. I wish I had had more support in determining her individual health needs, and how to navigate decisions that took more of her opinion into account as a 2x leukemia patient. #AYACSM
Q3: What resources/support made the biggest difference for young adults? or What is one thing that you wished you had, e.g. a resource or specific type of support, that would have helped you? #AYACSM

A2: The accelerated aging internally. I don’t have the same energy and grace. It takes me longer to recover just running errands and even more so when traveling. I feel like I’m 100 years old at times bcos of #sideeffects #AYACSM
Perhaps similar to what we’ve discussed… Q2: What is one challenge of facing cancer as a young adult that people often don’t understand? #AYACSM

A2: From a mom of an adolescent; missing out on milestones of independence, loss of freedom, loss of friendships with peers, disruption of physical development. Large impacts on education and social experiences. #AYACSM

#AYACancer Nichole Based in Colorado. Here because I'm a cancer mom and I'm now in a public health undergrad with hopes of going into pediatric cancer epidemiology.
Tonight, we are talking about navigating the #AYACancer experience with an oncology #nurse, @darcyburbage.bsky.social!! Let’s start off with introductions! 👉 What is your name? 👉 Where are you based? 👉 Why are you here? Tell us a bit about yourself! Post #AYACSM if you’re only here to listen.
Hegseth ending mandatory flu vaccines is probably a gateway to ending vaccine requirements in the military entirely. Starting wars on multiple fronts, while decimating logistics, and the health of your military...is a trifecta for losing everything.
