Gosh, Senator Cassidy. Makes you kinda wish a brave person would have stood on principle, and remembered his commitment to medicine and public heath, when he was voting on whether or not to confirm an anti-vax HHS Secretary last year 🤨
Oh yes, state employees, spending their time hacking their water supply, just cuz
When you think medical absurdities (“right testosterone level,” “health marker”) are going to make your head explode and then he says “leading edge of lethality” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
But grateful for beautiful spring evenings, and late sunsets, and community walking paths
Listen it’s a word to ME, @crossplayblog.bsky.social ! 🙋♂️ (Seriously one of the medical acronyms I most enjoy)
Me: feels bad/silly for missing the words “OBTUND” - self, what kind of doctah are ya? Then I see I played “doubt” instead 😂 Brain very good at seeing doubt. Excellent at it.
I may have accomplished almost nothing I intended to today, but I did have a lovely picnic with friends, acquired house plants, and got an end-of-game 7 letter #Crossplay word to eke out a win against my big sister who had been dominating throughout🙂👊🏿 Ironically the word was “retreat”
I don’t know if it’s this ⬇️, or family time, or the moral injury of my job getting to me (because it’s been a long long time since I’ve taken a week off) but Oy I am deeply exhausted 😞
it's an apt metaphor for, well, **waves hands at everything about this administration** lots of pomp & circumstance & big statements absurdly shallow and thoughtless substance
🧐 searches the internets to remind myself how many times Article 5 has been invoked 🤨 reminds myself to stop looking for ya know, REASON
😂 can’t help but admire the chaotic nonchalance of my favorite local bakery (which also eschews online/social media updates) You want an amazing baguette or croissant, you can swing on by and see if they are open or not!!! 🙂 🥖🥐
If I let myself think too much how the richest man in the world (whose net worth increases more each minute than I earn in as a physician in a year) can retweet this type of racist absurdity, and still claim he is not racist, and still keep making billions, my head may simply implode. 🤬😭🤯
Wakes up. Looks at headlines. Closes headlines. Every day I can’t believe we survived the first Trump administration, only to inexplicably opt into another round that has destroyed so much and keeps getting worse.
** sighs and re-reads measles article in UpToDate and looks at pictures of rashes because um yeah pretty afraid to miss measles **
????? is Monday a holiday ????? wasn't LAST Monday a holiday ????? does Outlook already know we are going to have a snow day ????
They are great! I gave a bunch to residents and coworkers, re-ordered in orange, gave some out at protest on Saturday (but was hard to figure out a good way to do this), have a bunch more to distribute 🙂
Successfully stayed warm at the #BostonIceOut protest, and it only took two layers of long underwear, snow pants, vest, light puffy, warm puffy, buff, scarf, hat, two layers of gloves, two layers of socks, toe warmers, and boots 😂 🧤
OK this is the first time I asked Grok a question (and I never intend to do so again) but I was curious what it would say and well it's NOT on Team Elon because DUH HITLER WAS NOT A SOCIALIST.
Well feeling inept and behind and inadequate in so many ways this week, and the rising tide of fascism & the rumored ICE surge to Boston makes me anxious, but I did order & receive 50 keychain whistles with our local ICE response hotline number on there so… now to distribute ?
"We cannot possibly cover this extraordinary medication you ordered called ALBUTEROL. [Ridiculous doctor!] If you want your patient to get medication, an alternative could be: LOOK IT UP YOURSELF IN A FORMULARY BOOK, NOPE WE CAN'T PROVIDE A LINK OR SUPPORT. Sincerely, @wellcaremedicare.bsky.social"
Settling in with my favorite Rob Reiner film. זיכרונם לברכה
Went for a lovely walk in the woods whilst listening to an audiobook (Paul Farmer teaching about Ebola), ate my leftover vegan Chinese food from last night, now comfy on the couch watching a movie 🙂 #JewishChristmas
A President having a “narcissistic spree.” These truly are absurd and upsetting times.
There are many things in the world right now that are rage and stress and sadness inducing, so I offer this lovely website where you can "make" paper snowflakes because it made me feel better dangries.com/rectanglewor....
