three cheers for Nurse Practitioners! 😍🎉
Saw my primary care provider today, an amazing NP. She spent ~45 min talking with me about all kinds of health concerns, from physical to emotional. She prescribed me a med to try out, that I think will help, and she submitted a referral.

Re: the boat bombings, is Kegsbreath a war criminal or a murderer? (Ans: the latter)

If you don’t remember who the “Front Line COVID Critical Care Alliance” is, they did not work on the front lines but sold millions of dollars of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin - and merch - at flea markets and online and both of the founding members had their medical board certifications revoked.
This is important! IMA (formerly FLCCC) is now running ACIP. Members of key COVID-disinformation groups are leading multiple branches of the government and advisory bodies. Health disinformation has become the law of the land.
Martin Kulldorff, the chair of ACIP, was just appointed chief science officer for the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE).
Kirk Milhoan is the new chair of ACIP.

it's one thing to drop a slippery jar of Costco chopped garlic (which it turns out, has a LOT of liquid inside, that loves to seep into every crevice) & watch it travel into your heating vent before you can divert it with a kitchen towel.
it's another thing to have nobody to tell this to.

my Mom always only bought garlic in bulbs, those dry bulbs above the onions. I said, but look! Mom, you can buy it already chopped up (and held out a plastic or glass bottle to her in the grocery store). she used her hand to wave me off, this wasn't even worthy of a verbal reply.

yes I use ChatGPT to rephrase my work emails "in a warm professional tone please," and yes I use "please" when asking chatGPT to do something.
I do read them again, remove any em-dashes, and add a typo so it's not so obvious. They sound much better than my originals.
I'm not proud of this.
