No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Someday, kids studying American history will ask how this was allowed to happen.

I immigrated to the US from Moldova as a child, and, let me tell you, I did not take "Americans' welfare funds at an alarming rate." 🙄

Shout out to my civil service besties out there who "been there, done that, watched no one care" like me.

You DO deserve a cookie, a hug, and a nap. ❤️

Had a visit from this good boy last night to celebrate the new year with us! 😍

He's definitely the good-est.

Yeah, bitches, let's do this shit! 🤘
I love being a bitch, infact I aspire to be MORE of a bitch in 2026.

A bitch is just a label given to women who don’t fit in the box people expect women to reside in. And that box is just being soft spoken, submissive, people pleasing. Fuck that.

MRI Results: Reproductive organs unremarkable.

Excuse me, but I happen to think my uterus in particular is pretty fucking remarkable, thankyouverymuch. 😤

Sad about Tom Stoppard passing... what an extraordinary playwright 💔

I love people. I am a people person. If I had to choose between eternal solitude and crowds, I would likely pick crowds. Although I am an introvert, I can't stand being alone for too long.

Some days, however, I hate people to my bones.

Writing today about the Federal shutdown ending, I almost said "Federal shitshow" on an official communication.

I made this Kiev cake from scratch to standard Soviet specifications. I can't decorate with frosting to save my life. The Karl Marx factory would have fired me on day one.

This is so true. It's also true for our behavioral health professionals. They struggle day in and day out.

Who takes care of the people who care for us? Why do we expect superhuman resilience from these people?
Moral distress should NOT be seen as an occupational hazard of practicing medicine.

Special election day is this Tuesday for Prop 50! That's 2 days from today.

Vote YES.

Fuck Trumpism.
