Preppy queer @UVA professor striving to make healthcare LGBTQIA+ inclusive. Views are my own & don't represent my employer.
The previous two presidential search committees looked MUCH different. The current Rector’s disrespect for shared governance is staggering.

Saying farewell to Maine today after a week of vacation/remote working.

I love UVA but I’d love it even more if it were located in Maine! 😊

President Trump issued an Executive Order restricting access to "intimate spaces" by "biological sex," and declaring that there are only two sexes.

He *really* didn't think this one through. 😂

This is your “fork in the road” moment.

As someone who teaches health policy to nursing students, I like to create mock-ups of hypothetical advocacy tools to demonstrate how nurses can use their expertise to affect change in ways that transcend partisan politics and protect ALL the patients and families they serve.

Visiting Dalvik, Iceland in the winter is fantastic. So much snow!

Dalvik, Iceland is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. Pure bliss. ❤️

Best vacation ever!

Yesterday we drove 8 hours from Reykjavik to northern Iceland in a Suzuki Jimmy that beeped every time the sensor cameras got confused by all the snow.

The Downtown Mall at 7am is sooooo quiet. A nice half-way point for my 7-mile morning walk. ❤️

Ella, one of the UVA School of Nursing dogs-in-residence, demonstrating how politely she sits on furniture when she’s allowed to do it. 💕

Whenever @dylanruediger.bsky.social and I work on the guitar, our Soupervisor watches our every move.

The cushions for the chair I refinished just arrived, 20 minutes before the in-laws arrive. CushionsXpress for the win!

If you’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving with a politically diverse group of family & friends, consider asking folks to give these 6 principles a try.

I used Google's NotebookLM to generate a podcast episode about how you can use these principles: notebooklm.google.com/notebook/918...  Enjoy!  :)

I spray-painted a thrifted chair last week and brought it to my office this morning.

In other news, I learned yesterday when the leaves were raked off our patio that leaf piles are NOT as effective as dropcloths. 🤣

I’m so proud of this: a caul with a radius that perfectly matches the guitar brace. I made that with @dylanruediger.bsky.social ! 🤓

The best part of my weekend morning walks is that I can enjoy the scenery because it’s not still dark outside.

I love mornings like this, when it’s cold enough for gloves and hand warmers, but not so cold that my nose runs the entire 7 miles. 🍂🍁

When I had the glass panels installed next to the front door a few years ago, I never expected they would become the lookout post for a watch cat named Soup. ❤️
