Had my second day and first real med school lecture today, on the biochemistry of nutrition and health disparities. Interestingly enough, the health disparities portion was mostly about DOGE and Big Ugly Bill affecting communities. This bullshit admin is already affecting my career

Sometimes it feels like the only way to make friends and have connections in the queer community is to be sexually available to people and present in very sexual or alcohol oriented spaces and I struggle to feel confident or comfortable in those environments.

Starting medical school in my 30s is wild because I’m suddenly infantilized as a student again, I’m the ~*WiSeSt*~, and I’m actually just a 23 year old gay boy born in ‘92 just like my classmates.

In my downtime between quitting my job and waiting to start med school, I’ve gone out more than I have in my life. I think my body is shutting down

I got accepted to medical school today. I’ve spent many years wondering why I didn’t measure up to my peers to get interviews. Finally got an ADHD diagnosis, it all made sense. I can’t wait to be an MD!

RFK Jr. already backing off his Sept. deadline to “solve” autism.
Shocker—you can’t rush science with a rigged plan & magical thinking.
Y’all raised great points yesterday. Let’s break this “study” down. (🧵)

Haven’t gone through the snail mail in a minute and I found an uncashed check yesterday, and today I get a call that I’m being paid for consulting over a year ago. What have I done to deserve such luck??

I never listen to podcasts, because they rarely keep my attention, but the @apspublications.bsky.social podcast is so fun an interesting. Currently listening to “Advancing Inclusive Education in Reproductive Physiology”, which discussed sex and gender diversity in physiology education

Congrats, everyone—the Elon boycott is working! Reports indicate that Tesla inventory is swelling, especially with Cybertrucks piling up outside their factory. Keep the boycott going, and don’t forget—today is the Economic Blackout!
