the ones who are in it for good, in it for real, post and riff the way they do because they are facing horrors every day, and have been for longer than you would believe. and we know we don't have the numbers or the power, so we're living richly so we can do brave and poetic things without regret.

Intentionally shopping smaller has been a journey of un training convenience from my routine. I work too much, so it’s been a challenge. However: getting to know all the local coffee shops in my neighborhood means: petting more dogs. Shop small: pet dogs

the world is it too hell, and i am tired

i like ppl with a lot of trauma who still give a fuck about other ppl

“Because of its safety profile & absence of teratogenic effects, acetaminophen is considered the medication of choice for fever & pain relief during pregnancy…we cannot ascribe any causal relationship between acetaminophen & autism, which remains the preferred drug for fever and pain in pregnancy.”

Anyway - so I’m this way because of Tylenol.

“ADHD doesn’t have a genetic component” says my father as he shows me the seven new paintings he’s started, his two new horror novels in the works all while listening to the radio while watching television and playing on his phone.

“Autism is not genetic” - says my Mother from her Birdhouse themed room - which features her birdhouse collection. Do not touch the birdhouses.

If you are planning on being raptured tomorrow and work in healthcare, please notify your Charge nurse now. We are already understaffed. All those not planning on being raptured, as you were and see you tomorrow.

We are witnessing the reification of the dual state in the US that never really went away. A normative state for the predominant socioeconomic class in power, white men, and a prerogative state for minorities and women. It will be a dual legal system imposing two totally different systems.

Every day I talk with my patients - as I work explicitly with the unhoused - and what gets tossed is appalling. Diabetes medications, psych meds, mobility aids It’s obvious that the goal is to remove what someone sees as unsightly as opposed to protecting someone’s humanity and helping them survive.

I done married this guy like 4000000000 years ago. It was pretty cool.

Nurse dilemma: I can save your life all calm and collected…but…

Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.

my mother passed away on this day 3 years ago. she posted this in 2017, 1 year into Trump's first term. She perceived the field so clearly. I've fought myself bloody for a liberated earth but not once did I have to fight my family. What an honor to have been her son. What an awesome privilege.

The main perk of being an outreach nurse: I get to pet a lot of dogs

I don’t know how this doesn’t devastate and enrage every last one of us

Patient: “oh shit my nurse is hella G’d up with all them tattoos” Me: (thinking about what color of yarn I wanna buy on the way home tonight) “oh, yeah…hella”

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Hot take: nihilism is as bad as fascism, and not the same as realism. Things are terrible, will take years and immense effort to fix. However, bleating "doomed, might as well die" is one thing to say to yourself but a whole other matter to say to a generation of kids. It's our responsibility to try.

Could we have more Delicious in Dungeon now? The world is on fire and I could use some dopamine

If you have a medical license in the state of Washington that expires feb/march/april I highly recommend renewing it before the new system roll out on February 19th - and credentialing freeze on the 14th.

They’ve met their goal - but more money equals more aid. Do the thing.

Israel killed the last remaining orthopedic surgeon in Northern Gaza today. Dr Saeed Joudeh was on his way to the hospital when Israel shot him in the head. He was not a combatant. He was a doctor devoted to saving lives. 😢 #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

Tiny. bangs.

if you'd never vote, there's plenty you can do besides reskeet pics of feckless electeds & scream "everything is hopeless." we all know it's bad. every day that isn't worse for someone is a day that *isn't worse for someone.* that matters to that someone. who in your area does trans outreach?🧵
