Some don't like it when I tweet about mental health. They tell me to just stick to sharing beauty. What they don't understand is I share wonder because I need to remind myself there is good in the world. I share about mental health so others who struggle know they aren't alone.

Our @CHNOLA ED staff saw a record 792 children over the past 2 days, 64% COVID-related. Think about that. HCWs putting their own health at risk to care for other people’s children. True selflessness. Isn’t wearing a mask and getting vaccinated the least we can do to support them?

Horrifying details are emerging about the tornado disaster at Amazon's warehouse in Illinois, where at least 6 workers were killed on the job. Before he died, Larry Virden reportedly texted his girlfriend: "Amazon won’t let us leave." He leaves behind four children.

You listen to cool music every day but play Mambo No. 5 one time and Spotify is like "Your number one artist this year is Lou Bega. We told him you want to meet him"

A mind-boggling case in Montana of how disinformation is a new playbook at local level. The thinned down local newspaper is no match for a barrage of nonsense on the Internet nytimes.com/2021/10/24/us/po…

This just isn't coming through in the reporting. GOPs are saying Dems have to raise the debt ceiling on their own. But that's just what Dems r trying to do. GOPs are filibustering it in the Senate. They're not standing aside and saying do it yourself. They're blocking it.

Dr. Leana Wen suggests thinking of a vaccine as a good raincoat: If it's drizzling or you're in a storm? You're well-protected. "But if you're going in … thunderstorms every single day and now there's a hurricane — at some point you're going to get wet." n.pr/3BMaJ8e

Half of you questioning Simone Biles’ “toughness” can’t even wear a mask for five minutes in Starbucks. Have a seat.

Reminder that even G.O.A.T.s struggle with #MentalHealth Too often we push ourselves beyond what is emotionally healthy for our bodies. Kudos to @Simone_Biles for having the emotional strength to prioritize her own health and needs! #MentalHealthIShealth

Nic Hunter, @LakeCharlesCity mayor, is in Washington D.C. through Friday to talk with federal officials, including @HUDgov, about the need for supplemental disaster recovery money. It has been 320 days since Hurricane Laura devastated the city and Southwest Louisiana.
