Me: I hope we don't have to leave. I don't want to leave my garden. I know I'm terrible at it but I've worked so hard.
My child: Don't limit yourself. You can garden even worse anywhere in the world.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Interesting read on the cycle of epidemics, health, eugenics, and war. History is rhyming hard over here. #history #healthcare #fascism www.refinery29.com/en-us/2017/0...

My latest.
As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality.
I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI.
Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation.

Opinion | The assault on DEI? It’s aimed at resegregation.
The GOP leaders attacking inclusion programs want to go back to an era when White men ran everything

Medicine slow rolled my care so much I now get to navigate a bunch of medical stuff in the middle of the apocalypse. And I may have missed the window to avoid cancer. If my dumb ass had most of it figured by 2019 why did medicine take 6 years more? #medicine #healthcare #cancer #raredisease

One of the reasons we are all freaking out is because Democratic leadership is nowhere to be seen.
We need a democratic pseudo president to address what is going on and what we can do about it.
Someone who has rallies, interviews. Show us sane in an insane world.

when humanity invented roomba we were at a fork in the road. it was a step towards a future where robots did our labor, giving time back to us to enrich our lives. then roomba mapped our houses and wifi networks and sold that data. the dark pathway. robert frost would never

If you see someone sleeping in their car, no you didn’t. People just trying to find a safe place for the night aren’t your problem. What kind of person reports that? Mind your business and let folks rest. The world’s hard enough without you making it harder.

These are the eras where fortunes are lost BUT also made. Maybe for once, people who aren't sociopaths could be the ones with all the money. Luck favors the prepared. Anyway I'm prepared for my shingles 💉 today, hoping it doesn't spin me like a 🐄 in a 🌪️ bc my biochemistry is a ❄️. 🫣 #deepthoughts

@propublica.org @theguardian.com it'd be interesting to dig into how bad the diagnostic delay is still esp for women & people of color, & how these policies target them with sop medical complicity. Wasn't there an ob/gyn recently outed as a yt power militia leader? #medicine #misdiagnosis
Here's my question. If we're putting people on antidepressants and ADHD medications in camps are physicians still planning to slap patients with psych diagnoses as a first resort? Or will they start running some labs before they condemn patients to being targets of the state? #medicine #misdiagnosis

Physicians know so little about rare disease AND are so unable to recognize competency in patients that physicians on social media whose 1st instinct is they're 'gonna larn me a lesson' just prove my point. Idk if it's in bad faith or what but do better. #medicine #raredisease
