hello, my loves, i wanted to take a moment to let you all know that MY DEBUT CHAPBOOK IS NOW OUT!!! buy Violets for Sappho from Bottlecap Press today!! (link in the next tweet :))))
i am so so overwhelmed and overjoyed, and i CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THIS BOOK OUT IN THE WILD 😁✨💜

ALT The cover of Michelle Rochniak’s debut chapbook, Violets for Sappho!! The cover is on a yellow background and has a little asterisk on either side of it. The actual cover has a violet background and a drawing of a Greek sculpture layered over a bouquet of violets. “Violets for Sappho” is written at the top, and “Michelle Rochniak” is written at the bottom (both in uppercase black fancy font). Super exciting!!

Hi all, I'm looking for a covid conscious and disability justice centered therapist who has experience working with autistics, burnout, and cPTSD.
Telehealth only. I'm in WI, which is also a PSYPACT state. Unity insurance.
Retweets appreciated, I am really struggling 🧡

So the WHO is saying COVID isn't over, public health orgs are telling you to mask up. What more do you need to take this seriously again? The people you are trying to fit in with when you don't mask are the people who will abandon you when you become chronically ill.
COVID-19, flu and RSV are all currently spreading in NYC. Wearing a mask in crowded indoor settings can help protect you and protect others if you’re sick.
Well-fitting masks, such as KN95s, KF94s or N95s, provide the best protection: on.nyc.gov/covid19prevention

As a disabled immunocompromised person - I wear a fitted respirator whenever I leave the house.
This is the best way I can “take responsibility” for keeping myself safe.
Mask bans put that safety in jeopardy.
What I want you to know about why we’re scared. 🧵

An American city is *only accessible by air* and the only coverage is from people on social media.

Does anyone have a plane/helicopter that they would be willing to help my wife and I get home in? We are trapped in Black Mountain (no food or water) and we have a medically complex handicap son who requires around the clock care, medications, and a ventilator. Please help. #NC

Hey everyone this is the first time i ask for help, the situation in west is getting bad every minute, there's lack of so many basic things, asking for donations It’s so humiliating to ask for donations when we were financially stable,

Can you help Ivy make rent today? She's all on her own with long COVID and several other disabilities and needs some serious financial help. I'd be in the exact same place right now if I didn't have family to fall back on. So please consider donating to help keep her stay afloat

My local Asian grocery store is giving out free KN95 masks with purchase. People are requesting them, and are grateful to receive it as well. 😊 😷

This is really worrying. There's a bill in Nassau County, Long Island, New York, that has a good chance of passing due to GOP majority, that would fine people $1,000 for wearing a mask. nbcnewyork.com/news/politics…

Ok.
Confession time again.
I've been wrong on this, and I can't untweet all the things I've tweeted about it, but I can change what I say going forward.

By the way, a lot of you are rightfully alarmed about homelessness being made illegal, but far less of you are connecting anti-masking to it.
COVID > long covid > can’t work> can’t pay bills > lose housing > forced homelessness > arrest > imprisonment.
And that’s for 8-10% of
