Starting in a few minutes!

I’m going to say something abt domestic abuse that I think applies to our current situation: Abuse increases when the abuser feels they are losing their control. Also, here is the Power and Control Wheel.

Do I think the majority of men think this way? No, I don’t. But why are they silent when rhetoric like this comes up? As far as I’m concerned, they’re supporting it with their apathy. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Made me so happy. ❤️ u much. #saturdayvibes #roses

Yes girl. Expose them. Men who harass women are weak. I notice many of them simultaneously demand empathy. Hard to be empathetic to you when you’re deliberately trying to intimidate. #feminism #strongwomen @jweisswolf.bsky.social msmagazine.com/2025/09/18/s...

URMC #psychiatry residents, food, and large birds in #RochesterNY Solid day 🍃🦉🌯 #medsky #retreat #friday

The work y’all do is so important. Thank you for highlighting the voices silenced in this cruel time 🖤 #reprorights #VA #obsky #medsky

Today on #PhysicianSuicideAwarenessDay we honor colleagues we've lost, stand with those who are struggling, and commit to change. Mental health is physical health. If you’re struggling, you’re not alone — call or text 988 (U.S.) or reach out to a trusted colleague. #YouAreNotAlone

Common questions about #psychiatry: Yes we’re medical doctors, no we can’t read your mind 🔮, & despite the stress, we love our job 🩵🩺 @medpagetoday.com @drjessigold.bsky.social #medsky www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMJeqQQc/

Current mood: Alexander

“In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump’s DOJ deleted a study from its site stating right-wing violence ‘continues to outpace all other types of terrorism & domestic violent extremism’ in 🇺🇸 — The study was available online until Friday.” newrepublic.com/post/200537/...

Time for some positivity. In today’s episode of #doctorswhocook: #foodie #happymonday

Does he get to keep his job after openly advocating murder on air?

Random thought: I absolutely adore women like Benita Alexander, Cecilie Fjellhoy, & Lilly Jay who own the most painful, vulnerable moments of their lives and turn them into opportunities for advocacy to make others feel less alone. More of this, less sanitizing legacies of cruel people 🖤

Happy #caturday ft Ollie 🐈

The Trump admin is finally saying it out loud: they believe birth control is abortion. In deleted audio anti-abortion OBGYN Omar Hamada echoed the same false claim about Plan B. Read more and hear the audio at TNReproNews.com #tnrepronews #abortionrights #birthcontrol #tnleg #ivf #contraception

Didn’t think this piece would become relevant again so quickly (oh how naive) but here we are. Contraceptives are not abortifacients. But of course they knew that. It’s about control, not safety. #medsky #obsky #GOP #RFKjr www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Firearm violence does not discriminate against ideology. It can affect innocent children, people pushing for reform, & people who have contributed to this polarized climate alike. It must end for everyone’s sake. #medsky @kgreenmd.bsky.social @thisisourlane.org www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

The left overwhelmingly has condemned the killing of Kirk and offered condolences to his family in this terrible time. The right has declared “war” and demanded revenge before we even have a suspect in custody.

Political violence has no place in America. As a trauma surgeon and survivor, I condemn the attack on Charlie Kirk and send my deepest condolences to his family. Coming soon after the shooting of Minnesota legislators, this is a sobering reminder: violence must never become our political language.

At a White House briefing, Karoline Leavitt defended the administration’s stance after new Epstein case documents were released.

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

From @nytimes.com: “Just a little fight with the wife.” As a victim of domestic violence I am disgusted. Trump is a pig. #IPV #medsky #ejeancarroll #trump Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u...

Florida Man-in-Chief Dr. Lapado admits he didn't study the impact of ending routine vaccination requirements. Ya know who did? Real scientists. Including Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, who Sec. Kennedy recently FIRED from the CDC's vaccine advisory committee. Answer: This is dangerous.

Sushi night with URMC psychiatry 🍣🍚 #doctorswhocook #foodie

To the complete surprise of… absolutely no one at all. The physician senators who confirmed this 🤡 should be ashamed of themselves. #medsky #RFKjr #vaccines

When the writer E. Jean Carroll accused President Trump of sexual assault in 2019, she also admitted, for the first time, something she hadn’t fully reckoned with: She hadn’t had sex since. She told "Modern Love" how dramatically her relationship to sex and love changed. nyti.ms/3V1hCNZ

Bittersweet end of summer ☀️🍃 #summervibes #rochesterNY

Moral injury is real in our field. I am not an OB, but I deeply feel for my colleagues who can’t practice according to evidence & important values of bodily autonomy and minimizing harm, purely because of ill-informed ideology. #medsky #obsky #reprorights #GOP

Update: he literally agrees with me, but he has a problem with the fact that I’m the person saying it at all 😂. How demeaning to medical trainees. Wisdom is chasing him, but he is faster & the small man energy is strong with this one 😉 #medsky #meded

Brian here wants me to know that residents shouldn’t have opinions about medical competence & to have one is “disingenuous.” Whoops, I seem to have upset the medfluencer 😂. Article below 😉 #medsky #influencer #oped #meded www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.

When doctors chase clout over all else, they’re endangering patients. I’m not against physicians having public presences, but if you're going to adopt a public platform, it is not unreasonable to expect you to be well-informed and grounded. #medsky @medpagetoday.com www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BnJcJH/

It’s about that time of year again 🍎🌻🌳

Explain this to me, and the 2 major steps before it from memory, #RFKJr, & then maybe we can talk about mitochondria. #CDC #trump #medsky #disaster

The wholesale destruction of CDC for political gain is not just pointless—it's reckless and endangers the health of all of us. #medsky #rfk #trump #cdc www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/cala...

Banger. Haven’t felt so revived by a piece in weeks. Doug Wilson can eat 💩 #screwnomics #tradwife #feminism #hegseth msmagazine.com/2025/08/25/t...

Extremists get their reprehensible ideas into the mainstream with the help of apologists who defend them by saying they’re “just asking questions.” #feminism #conservativetrolls #trump msmagazine.com/2025/03/07/t...

Why do we need feminism? Because a woman can’t have a leadership position without being undermined by a lazy man who’s mad he lost “his” spot #corruption #feminism #manchild #insecureman www.nola.com/news/golden-...

This from the man who ignored, for years, the molestation of an entire team he coached. Forgive me if I’m not reassured.

Happy Sunday, I’m vibing. Photo cred: my 4yo friend, shockingly talented with his dad’s phone 😍 #sundayvibes #summerweekend

My take on the rise of Christian nationalism to control women in the name of “family values.” Things to think about: 1. The right doesn’t actually practice the values it’s selling 2. The road to Gilead is lined with people telling women they’re “overreacting” msmagazine.com/2025/08/09/w...

Shame isn’t productive in medicine. We all experience failure & we all deserve grace. However, you can’t be a doctor just because you really, really want to be a doctor. If you have multiple class & boards failures, you probably shouldn’t be in medicine #medsky www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Oh well if that’s the case, I instantly believe her and am extremely reassured. 🙄

MAGA faked liberal "outrage" in order to leer at sorority rush videos. But it was just a few months ago that MAGA was rage-stroking at other women who posted online dances, declaring they were the end of civilization. I analyze this contradiction. www.salon.com/2025/08/22/m...

Nonfatal strangulation increases risk of intimate partner homicide by 750%. And any politician who condones this has blood on their hands. Sincerely, Your friendly neighborhood psychiatry resident #medsky #domesticabuse #andrewtate #trump #misogyny
