The amount of effort this administration is putting into making sure lower income folks don’t have food is really…. Extraordinary

For the record:
- SNAP benefits did not increase “many fold” during Biden’s term
- disaster aid during, INFLATION contributed to ⬆️ SNAP costs
- we spend $100 billion/year (equivalent to 1.5 months of military spending) to help feed 1 in 8 Americans… seems like a good deal

Halloween adventures on the mobile health unit:
EMS dude: “where’s the doc?”
Me: “um that’s me, I’m the doc, I’m …… just a giraffe today”

Getting my flu shot in the day before the clinic/hospital deadline, cuz I’m responsible like that

(I prioritized COVID booster, and it’s been a busy/challenging October full of HonkFest and rounding and protests and family things!)
Alas.

Beautiful day for #NoKings rally in Quincy, MA where I made some noise with #BABAM (the Boston Area Brigade of Activist Musicians). Chant highlight: Congressman Stephen Lynch: “when I say Hell, you say No! That’s the Quincy version of ‘I dissent!’” 🙂

Finished clinic a bit early and managed to get in some end-of-week diastole before the sun went down

Shout out to #honkfest for being more COVID-aware and thoughtful than any medical conference I’ve attended (for musicians, it encourages testing before attendance, encourages masking in crowded indoor spaces, and actually offers high quality masks and COVID tests)

Lots of badness in the world, but had SUCH a lovely day at HonkFest, and my new jacket was a hit 🙂🙂

For God’s sake, this kind of crap makes me doubt reality. Surely this is too absurd and a bad dream. Dude wants a coin. Gotta give dude his coin. Sure.

Took a break from work and the news and climbed a mountain today. It was hard and lovely.

Ugh I googled “medbeds,” and my brain and soul are tired, so as a timeline cleanse I offer this video of my radically inclusive brass band and dance troupe performing our newest song on beautiful fall afternoon in Cambridge

Ha I would usually go to Land’s End in Harpswell when I was craving the ocean, I don’t recall tons of successful sunsets trips… But it is lovely and you can look western-ish so sometimes you get lucky! Pic from internet, not me 🙂

Oh.

Yes! Jeeesh France is ALL over requiring very graphic pics on cigarettes, seems this could be avoided 🤔

This is my favorite 2am cheese snack 🙂

Ok, so I should be able to offer vaccines, and abortions, and gender-affirming care, and MOUD (methadone?) without fear of punishment, without worrying my patients will be expected to shoulder the cost? Got it.

I know there was a whole reality show focused on him firing people and there is tons of absurd things happening every day but this still feels surprisingly dystopian
August 1, 2025 at 10:43 PM
Jeeeeeesh that is absurd
July 31, 2025 at 3:06 AM
lol I cannot 😆
bringing us the EMR updates we really need - forcing us to clarify our patients don't speak "Middle English"
July 24, 2025 at 4:54 PM
This was… very very predictable.
