Ziggy and Delphie. #Caturday

Omg it’s a Friday miracle. A physical copy I can hold in my hands. This book is so good I read the entire thing in a pdf on my phone in a day. I never re-read books but I’m definitely going back in on this one. @ranaawdish.bsky.social is magic. Preorder yours today—-you can thank me later.

An incredible treat to receive an advanced copy of my friend @ranaawdish.bsky.social new book After Shock. I cannot wait to read it!!

Steampunk birds I made of clay and metal, old croquet balls, sewing bits and bobs, broken jewelry, single earrings. A reminder that even what is broken and lost… it is all still art. #MedSky

Massive congratulations @panagis.bsky.social on this incredible work 🙌🏻 it will undoubtedly do so much good in the world. #MedSky

Nail polish remover (acetone) unglued my fingers (superglue craft incident) and this is why a science education matters kids 😭 #MedSky

That's right. Worse than Pointless www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/o...

I will always be grateful to medicine for saving my life. And, I feel a complicated mix of love and outrage when it comes to my profession. This book lives in the messy space AFTER survival. It is ASTONISHING how much healing is still possible there. 💗 #MEDSKY read.macmillan.com/lp/after-sho...

Perhaps this sequel might be of interest for the #nephjc summer book club this year?, 🤔🤓😃☀️😎🙏💛

Under US law if I accept a sandwich at work it goes in a permanent and publicly-accessible database because politicians claimed they wanted to prevent corruption

Happy #caturday from Ziggy ♥️

we really did make significant progress in reducing smoking didn’t we

Enjoying The Pitt? The AMA has some gripping medical memoirs to recommend. Including mine! ♥️ www.ama-assn.org/medical-stud...

Our local librarian remembers the series I'm reading. She reserves each subsequent book for me as it becomes available. Librarians are wonderful.

A difficult day entirely redeemed by an email from a librarian ❤️

Beyond honored to have an essay included in this stunning collection alongside so many writers I admire. Intro by the legendary Rita Charon ♥️ #MedSky

An antidote to the violence we’ve all witnessed. Community. Peaceful protest. Mercy. Choose love ❤️

My first book, In Shock, is on sale for only $2.99 the month of February. Given…(gestures vaguely) all of this… it’s a great time to read about the essential role of compassion in healing and also get ready for After Shock, coming in June. #medsky

This five year old is still in jail

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

New BFF just dropped.

Wrote about the Spider-Man detail that absolutely crushed me

Book 6 of 2026 “A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us” -Kafka This breathtaking follow-up to In Shock by @ranaawdish.bsky.social is that axe and everything else you could ever want from a book. Preorder today. Seriously. All of you. #BookSky

Interrupting doomscrolling to present Ziggy’s BFF, mini-owl. Nap companion, chew toy, pillow. Everything a BFF should be.

The number of confirmed #measles cases in South Carolina has hit an astonishing 558 in an outbreak that started in October. For context: that is more cases in 4 months than the entire US racked up most years in the past 30+ years. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Repressing the urge to now decoupage everything 🤣

It was a perfectly fine plain black table but now it’s ADORABLE. Saturday craft project. Decoupage x Alice in Wonderland x Rifle & Co. paper ♥️🍄🫖

Grateful to the AMA for showcasing our communication work, and the opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come. www.ama-assn.org/public-healt... #MedSky

When the news is filled with BIG terrible things, I find pausing long enough to focus on beauty helps to ground me. Two mini-oil-on-wood from yesterday’s time spent (offline) painting. #medsky

I teach big classes, so I get a lot of accommodation letters and I simply follow them and go on with my day because why the hell wouldn‘t I. If I wanted to be a cop, I would have applied.

My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.
