Given El0n wants to know what federal employees did last week, what if we helped satiate his nosiness by filling his inbox with what we ALL did last week? hr@opm.gov

If there’s a good reason not to do this, please do let me know!

Some really scary driving practices from other vehicles on my drive South today - wish there was an easy and safe way to report them (please do share if there is, I swear it’s getting worse!)

I am hugely privileged to be able to run away for a weekend and avoid the scariness of the world for a weekend. I don’t take it for granted.
If in any small way, you are able to take some time to find some peace; do it. You aren’t letting us down. Rest is a Radical Act, and this is a marathon.

Hey Donald,

Sorry to hear you don’t consider disabled people qualified for FAA employment. You’d of course know a lot about being underqualified, and yet you still manage to get this wrong.

Love,
Yet Another Ridiculously Highly Qualified Disabled Person.

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me.

Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

Diversity in clinical trials is not performative. Diversity in clinical trials literally ensures that all humans benefit from therapeutics, interventions, and preventive medicine.

US FDA drops web pages on improving clinical trial diversity
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has pulled draft guidance from its website requiring companies to test medicines and devices in diverse populations as part of a purge of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at U.S. health agencies.

One thing I haven’t yet seen anybody point out about the NIH thing: it seems rather transparent that their desired endgame is to hold all funding hostage until every NIH-funded institution dismantles its equity and diversity programs.

“The problem with you” muttered my girlfriend as I lay on the sofa, coughing up gunk whilst making a list of stuff I am totally going to achieve from my bed, “is that you may get sick, but your ADHD doesn’t.”

I quietly ask her to fetch a pile of papers and my highlighters, and start reading.

I am, once again, riddled with another viral illness and having previously been incredibly smug about my hard-won immune system, forged in the fires of General Practice training, it transpires I just hadn’t met Scottish bugs yet.

Send lemsip and nasal rinse.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

In today’s #TinyWaysToSaveTheWorld I am making so many notes on prescribing hormones for trans patients that I feel like I’m back at med school. I promise, many of us are working hard to make things better.

The world is a big scary place at present, but my lord I love humans and their ability to outwit stupid systems.

The email address for federal workers to inform on their colleagues is DEIAtruth@opm.gov.

Would be a real shame if folks flooded that inbox, rendering it useless.

We must keep spreading this info through all different means.

If you have an email list, send this info out every few days/weeks.

If you have a Substack, write about it.

If you have a podcast, talk about it.

Text the info to your group chats.

Keep the info out there.
Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Random fb DM from a stranger, saying he’d like to help with my “cause” and will play ‘Devil’s Advocate’ for me if I want to message him.

Lord give me the audacity of a white cishet man.

We’re busy ending sexism in schools so the education system creates fewer of these awful men.

Let’s grow a community of resistance. Share with me your #TinyWaysToSaveTheWorld - yes, big stuff needs to happen, but we need to make it manageable for everyone, so let’s start here.

Request for my #GP and #GPtrainee colleagues - I’m doing an event with Scrub Survivors next week on Sexual Harassment and sexism in the workplace. If you have any examples or experiences I could share, I promise to anonymise and handle them respectfully and gently. Thank you.

I’m searching for tiny ways I can make the world a bit better. I just signed up to re-do my Level 1 BSL course at a local college, and I’m taking my partner so we can practice together. #TinyWaysToSaveTheWorld
