I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

The folks in D.C. are bullies. They were the folks in jr. high who stuck their legs out to trip others. They laughed when someone fell and clapped when someone made a mistake. And now they give their undeserving friends top jobs and they run the country like a frat house. 😤

Your medical community has an impending battle to defend the standard of care in this country against this unqualified person who has been placed in an immensely powerful position over us.

Lucas Johnson from On Being reflecting on the work of #hapc clinicians- and the importance of this community for us. He imagines that it can be isolating and lonely (it can be) and how thrilled we are to see each other (profoundly). I feel seen. #hapc2025 @aahpm.bsky.social

Do you know someone who has #multiplesclerosis? I have three first cousins on my dad’s side who have MS. Read more about my cousin Michelle, a clinical #pharmacist who has been THRIVING with MS for almost 25 years & started a YT page to help others with MS. #medsky

This is an incredible story! God bless Dr. Freeman. Sadly, she recently passed away at the age of 98, but the lives she touched (and saved) will never be forgotten. 💕 #medsky #blackmedsky

There are only four HBCU medical schools in the country. Institutions like my alma mater, Meharry, are crucial in the fight for health equity in this country.

I get it sis! 🥹 This is a REAL feeling! #medsky
I cried at my annual checkup.

Having a Black woman physician is life changing. She intently listened to my concerns & immediately scheduled specialty appointments.

Other physicians have dismissed my worries & said to just lose weight.

It makes all the difference to feel cared for by your doctor.

I absolutely LOVED this show! Can’t believe it was on for NINE YEARS?! It was this show and Alice! That was some good tv! #oldschooltv
49 years ago today, “One Day at a Time” premiered on CBS.

And they did make it! Developed by Norman Lear, the series ran for 9 seasons. @wolfiesmom.bsky.social

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially.

Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

I’m lucky to have some great local bookstores in and around the Birmingham area. So I try to spread the wealth and support all of them, even if it’s just buying a journal or bookmarks or calendars. Indie sellers need our support! ❤️

I really believe that covering these drugs now would reduce medical and other drug costs in the future. If it eliminates the need for other meds, why not? This move could also address other comorbidities.
