Hmm I can either feel my feelings or add item to cart. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Shanah Tovah to those observing! Hoping you find levity in the heavy, light in the dark, & comfort in our community. 💕🍎🍯🍎💕

Can all the folk who believe in the Rapture just hurry up and get raptured so the rest of us can take paracetamol when it's indicated, eliminate cancers with vaccines and reinstate human rights like food and medical care in conflict zones? Please and thank you 🙏.

I like being autistic, by the way. It's all you "neurotypicals" who seem odd. Look at who you vote for...

Medical ethicist Arthur Kaplan, quoted in the NYT: “The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies & dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science”

Splitting up and spreading out infant/childhood vaccines only places the child at increased risk for the two most dangerous things re: vaccines: The time they are not yet vaccinated and at risk for vaccine-preventable conditions, and The car rides to the doctor’s office

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

So, like, vaccines are now off the hook for autism?! Whew.

True Stories of My Past: Me: “this weird thing happened” IT: “it’s not possible, you must be misunderstanding” Me: “here’s a screenshot!” IT: “… you found an obscure glitch that has to be escalated to the vendor”

“Hmm, that *is* interesting” Yeah, you never want to be interesting to a doctor, but you *really* don’t wanna be interesting to the IT team

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

In Jon Stewart We Trust 🇺🇸 @thedailyshow.com

Jimmy Kimmel wasn't suspended because of what he said. He was suspended because the FCC threatened his employer. That's state-sanctioned censorship and it is a GIANT RED FLAG 🚩🚩🚩 that authoritarianism isn’t *coming* it’s ALREADY HERE. Today it's Jimmy. Tomorrow it's the rest of us.

When I was a kid, my family could only afford school lunch once a week. I was the weird kid who brought my own lunch. Glad that school kids in MN can eat without worry.

Just read that Publishers Clearing House filed for bankruptcy and stopped paying life-long winners And this is why gen X hates The Man

if only there had been like, literally fifty straight years of very clear warnings about this exact thing from countless global and domestic media academics

Ahhh to have the unbridled confidence of a dad on the sidelines of their kid’s game, shouting out instructions

Got fired from my job for saying that Samantha on Bewitched didn’t really wiggle her nose, she was just kind of twitching her mouth back and forth.

know young adults hate checking voicemail so I left mine a message that includes a cash award if he listens to it & tells me about it 🤣 #parenting

This is extremely important and I’m learning a lot of trainees don’t know this PLEASE PLEASE if you’re gonna be dumb enough to have your actual name MD in your handle don’t have your employers name anywhere near your bio or tagged in posts.

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw

Go outside today and touch ass

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

I am incredibly proud of Maya Ayoub's work on this excellent collection of articles ❤️ Special Issue on Diversity in Child Neurology, October 2025 journals.sagepub.com/toc/jcna/40/9

Powerful message!

It’s a beautiful day to advocate for NIH funding & care for people with sickle cell disease! #ASHALI @ash.hematology.org

Peds clinic mood

They’re about two weeks away from saying, “Democracy is for pussies.”

Of course there are calls/meetings that could have just been emails, but sometimes there are WONDERFULLY PRODUCTIVE 10 min calls that circumvent tons of back-and-forth emails #TGIF

Our country supports guns more than vaccines, fetuses more than infants/children, prayer more than education 😭😭😭

The head of HHS says he doesn't believe millions of Americans died of COVID and that he needs to see "the data" We are so cooked. Impeach this man.

Somewhere out there is someone who didn't want any part of this craziness with tariffs and vaccines and just wanted some nice peaceful racism and is regretting their vote right now

22 medical, scientific, public health & patient organizations call for RFK Jr to resign As a result of his policies, they say, people will needlessly suffer & die Drs Prasad, Bhattacharya, Makary, Oz, & Kulldorff are propping him up—IMHO they should resign too www.idsociety.org/news--public...

Me, filling out Make-A-Wish forms to Disney World (in under-vaccinated Florida) for patients with life-threatening, progressive neurologic conditions: 🥴😳😢😬😱

The President is begging me to call him to bring in the National Guard. I’m not going to beg him for something we don’t want.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

“I refuse to accept this is normal.” - JB Pritzker. Amen, governor. Amen.

Chicago would welcome back Dave Matthew’s tour bus before we’d welcome Trump’s troops #Chitown

Vinay Prasad, like most antivaxxers, has no problem with blatant hypocrisy because he stands for nothing except himself

Tell me something tiny that made your weekend/day 🎉

when the world is a dumpster fire but your college freshman has done his own laundry 🥹🥹🥹

If you play Fox News backwards it says “someone” is dead

I’m so grateful that I have tenure and the academic freedom to call it like I see it. “Dr. Kathleen Bachynski, a professor of public health at Muhlenberg College, described Kennedy’s comments as “absolute gibberish” and slammed the HHS secretary as a “dangerous buffoon” who is “threatening us all.”

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

How do you all manage with so much grief & anger all the time? I'm trying. I'm working hard. I understand hope is discipline & not a given. But man I just want a world where everyone has enough to eat, we don't have mass murder, healthcare is accessible, kindness prevails, & rapists aren't in charge

Schools Theaters Concerts Malls Churches Synagogues Mosques Parks Nightclubs Offices Festivals Stores Military Bases Bars Post Offices Yoga Studios Super Bowl parades Nowhere is safe from the scourge of gun violence in America. You can't tell me we must simply accept it.

“As per our consult note” is the passive aggressive inpatient version of “per my last email.”

Teen son and I are having a debate and you know the only way to settle an argument is via a nonrandom group of internet strangers Who’s more famous: A. Travis B. Taylor #AskingForAFriend
