highly recommend the dried flowers centerpiece!
A centerpiece of Lego flowers in autumnal colors, orange, yellow, burgundy, and pale pink, on a wooden table.

This framing is so disingenuous and harmful. Even IF ACIP decides not to recommend annual Covid vax for all (and as far as I know, that’s still an IF), I guarantee you it will not be because they *agree* with RFK Jr. Once again, do better, @statnews.com. #medsky
A screencap from STAT News Morning Rounds. It has a picture of a Covid virus with a goofy maze inside it and a vaccine entering the maze. The headline somehow reads “Experts may agree with RFK Jr. on fewer Covid shots.” WHY.

Hard to pick my fav nonfiction I read this year - probably a tie between How to Make a Killing (scathing exposé of Big Dialysis) & Diana Greene Foster’s The Turnaway Study (comprehensive, well-researched data along with beautiful narratives from abortion seekers). #medsky #bookmedsky #booksky
The cover of Tom Mueller’s book How to Make a Killing: Blood, Death, and Dollars in American Medicine. The cover shows a strip mall building with a sign that reads “Dialysis-4-You!”

Easily my favorite book that I read in 2024 and probably my favorite fiction in a long time. #booksky #bookmedsky #medsky
Cover of the book The Cider House Rules by John Irving. This cover has a red apple on a tree branch along with the title.

Thank god we have Students for Life out here protecting our, uh, water supply from… I don’t know what exactly. But seriously, this is the level of anti discourse. #abortion #medsky
A quote from an article in The Guardian about anti-abortion extremists. A highlighted sentence reads: “Students for Life argues that the pills [medication abortion] pose a threat to the US water supply because people may pass the remains of their pregnancy into the toilet.”
