Marriage and the Maiden Name - JSTOR Daily
While many women trade surnames they had at birth for their husbands’, some hold on tightly to the former, a tradition famously established by Lucy Stone.

I knew I liked Jameela Jamil but I didn’t know that I fuckin love her.
I actually do enjoy the company of children and I’m really not bothered by their bodily fluids (poop streaming out of a 3yo has to be more manageable than from a grown ass adult), but otherwise I wholeheartedly agree.

I don't want children. I don't want children. I don't want children. I don't want children.
My most unhinged essay yet.

Two nights ago I read an entire book and knitted for an hour. I would have welcomed a patient to admit or procedure to do. Tonight I’ve had four new patients in 90 minutes. I would appreciate it if the universe could manage some balance.

8+ hours of Senator Booker’s speech. I’m on shift tonight and have had it on in the background while writing notes. I’m so impressed by him. Might need to knit him a hat. 😂THANK YOU Senator Booker!

The stories he is sharing are breaking my heart. It’s wrong for people who’ve worked their entire lives to be afraid of losing their EARNED social security checks!

Scouring the literature to reinforce RFK Jr's pre-conceived notions of truth is not science, and it is not what anyone at CDC should be doing with their time.
What #rfkjr is doing at #hhs looks nothing like science and a lot like fundamentalist religion. My latest for 48 Hills: https://48hills.org/2025/03/when-fundamentalist-religious-thought-replaces-science-we-are-in-serious-trouble/
When fundamentalist religious thought replaces science, we are in serious trouble - 48 hills
Under RFK Jr, researchers are looking for data that supports their political agenda, not data that seeks the truth.

not once has a family member ever took me aside and said “honestly, doc, he’s a quitter. He’s got no fight in him. You give him the first sign of an obstacle and he’ll fold. Doc, I’m telling you the man is a coward in the face of his own mortality”

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.
