Ugh among all the reasons I hate Elon Musk one is *purely* because the Nazi acquisition of Twitter meant I could no longer enjoy Black Twitter livetweeting the spelling bee for moments like this! youtu.be/LcbsXseV-xw?...

It will be no surprise to anyone that I enjoyed I Love Boosters.

I hate everything about this timeline.

If you are a medical worker looking to interrupt systems of criminalization, check out our Beyond Do No Harm network:

“On average, these hospitals paid $15.7 million (SD, $46.1 million) for management consulting services, with each contract costing an average of $6.2 million (SD, $14.8 million). Management consulting contracts lasted an average of 1.4 years” Surely this is more useful than more staffing!

I was recently at an event where the speaker used the microphone, but the volume on the system was set such that only the front half of the audience could hear them clearly... I could barely hear anything, and it felt like a waste of time to attend!

I’m so scared for India. Where will all this hate and religious fundamentalism and violence end?

emergency need: my friend susan raffo, beloved minneapolis healing justice practitioner needs money for a queer Black woman & child trying to get out of an abusive situation today they need $2000 today, she’s only been able to find $100 venmo: @ziibiing

So fortunate to have my mom stay with me and give me cut-up fruit as I wrap up my last week of prep for my Step 2 medical licensing exam! 😭♥️ Truly cannot wait to be done…

I reported on how BIPOC LGBTQIA+ folx slip through the cracks as care for disordered eating remains grounded in white supremacy, settler-colonialism, etc. for which I interviewed Professor Sabrina Strings, Da’Shaun Harrison, Karen Washington, Patrilie Hernandez, etc: prismreports.org/2023/09/13/b...

We got rid of affirmative action so now Black kids have to define themselves by recounting personal trauma to signal that they are Black. overcast.fm/+AAHuusmwS-k

My best friend died an eminently preventable death after being ignored by doctors and nurses and accused of being a "seeker" (they had security toss her bags and throw out her medications). Turned out she had a pulmonary embolism.

Do something nice today if you can. I hope you make your goal, Ms. Edith!

As someone who has had the chance to organize alongside Ms. Edith for 2 years, I can say with certainty that she shows up for everyone. She uses her car for multiple grocery runs a week so she can feed her neighbors! Please donate anything you can to help Ms. Edith and, by extension, Healy towers! 🫶🏽

I'm hosting a fundraiser for an incredible community leader, Edith Chisholm: gofund.me/4095ab1ca. In addition to helping organize a powerful tenant union in her building, Edith collects grocery donations to help food insecure neighbors. She needs a new car. Please consider donating and share widely!

They were going to all of their appointments. And now their teachers, their peers at Burton Elementary, and Durham neighborhood are left missing them tremendously. Genesis, Denis and their parents were abducted without warning at a routine Charlotte immigration check-in on Monday.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

The very obvious evil shit being done directly in our faces is part of my frustration with people committed to conspiracy theories.

As I sit through a night shift in the ED and watch the barrage of news alerts related to wars around the world come in, I certainly felt this part in my soul: "We are all dragging ourselves along, trying to keep up with whatever version of normalcy has been reconstructed each day."

An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it. From the Penn student paper: www.thedp.com/article/2026...

This! 👇🏽 I've quite literally lost count of the number of medical terms that we are renaming so they are not named after the nazi doctors that discovered them...

Not a typical post (🧵) on here, but just over 6 months ago, I successfully defended my dissertation alongside friends, family, my committee, and many loved ones. It was a wonderful day, and I have so many people to thank for their support over the past 3 years and more! (1/3)

Sharing a short thread here on our recent publication from earlier this month. This project was an incredible team effort, and truly would not have been possible without every co-author on this all-⭐ team! Go give it a read here if interested: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... A short 🧵: (1/x)

Turned 26 today and recently finished my 4th year of my PhD program, so I wrote a new blog where I did some reflecting on the moment we are in. Compared to when I applied to grad school in 2020, this is nowhere near what I would’ve predicted. Read here: open.substack.com/pub/notbeing...

If folks aren’t following this yet, you can keep an eye on this link for updates. The situation between India and Pakistan is escalating rapidly at the moment… www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

📋‼️Honored to share this newly published article that I helped lead! Cannot thank @uressien.bsky.social enough - he has served as a friend, mentor, and sponsor throughout! And the whole study team who this wouldn’t have happened without!🙏🏽 Will post a longer thread on the findings soon - stay tuned!

‼️ NEW Paper. Led by @sudkrishnamurthy.bsky.social we found wide disparities in receipt of ERBB2-targeted 💊 for Medicare enrollees w. breast cancer, disparities that did narrow by 2019. We need more research to identify strategies to improve cancer #Pharmacoequity. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
