Child is watching different “how to play chess” videos in stereo on his iPad and the tv. When I go to work in the ED later, it’ll be less overstimulating than this.

Come down from taking a shower. Kid gives me a hug and says “you smell better now than before. But not your face. That still smells bad.” Kids, man.

Real text I sent my husband because I had a local skin reaction to the pneumovax vaccine we got last week (SJS = Steven Johnson syndrome)

I have too many grievances today and the root cause is probably only getting 4 hours of sleep because my child somehow lives on no sleep and piles of French fries

Unskippable online training modules that I do not get paid to complete and I get fined if I don’t do them?? It keeps getting worse. (Required to do this unpaid nonsense for 3 different clinical jobs)

As an EM doctor, I see people’s lives destroyed by diseases and accidents when the day before they were “healthy” by this fuckhead’s definition.

Self service HR makes me wanna gauge my eyes out.

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

This is the fan installation at our beach house rental. Can’t decide if this is clever or concerning

This is a million times better of a take than the NYT article today
When politicians discuss autism, pay attention to who they say they’re helping. You’ll find it’s almost always “families” or “parents of kids with autism,” rather than #autistic people ourselves. Their primary concern is the burden we supposedly impose on others. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
