As I look around it saddens me to realize how much faith I have lost in experts And as I look around it saddens me to realize how much faith I have lost in institutions But as I look around what saddens me the most is realizing how much faith I have lost in other people.

You never know who is quietly watching you be yourself as an out trans person, and using your confidence to build their own.

Doesn’t matter how old your kids are, if you say aloud “Huh, they’re playing so nicely together,” someone is going to start screaming while someone else is crying

Husband: i saw my internist today Teen: what’s an internist Me: a pediatrician for grown ups

Happy Throwback Mother's Day

I’m not saying my husband will never leave me for a better model, just saying he is fiercely loyal to his ridiculously disappointing Jeep with its easily cracked windshield, various broken parts, check engine light on, & scary (but actual fairly benign) death wobble. #ItsAJeepThing

J'ignore où c'est, mais j'adore😍

Holy shit every moment of every day I still can’t believe that guy is our president

I've been saying this ever since Trump was elected again. They don't want to eliminate Medicare. They want to privatize it and force everyone into Medicare Advantage plans in order to make it an even bigger profit center for insurance companies. Here's the first big step. fortune.com/2026/05/07/m...

RFK Jr. is a eugenicist. Plain and simple. He's ignorant of science and medicine and lives in a conspiracy-addled world of his own mind. He's is destroying American public health and biomedicine.

Really spelling bee? This is a word…. @nytimes.com

Yeah leaving Chicago in winter is wonderful, but how about getting away in non-spring May?

Marketing fail: Walmart sells 250 year anniversary merch that looks like America died.

I’m a President now. @acog.org @acogd2.bsky.social

I was motivated to take this photo for #content 😂

When you set up OOO reply do you confirm it’s working from your personal account? Or do you not have obsessive compulsive tendencies 🤷🏻‍♀️

"Bluesky will never be Twitter." Then how come I look at it every morning and it makes me sad, hmm? Explain that.

I share Dr Offit’s pessimism- even with a vaccine that is safe and effective, the cult of conspiracy led by RFK Jr and fueled by an army of grifters may lead to poor uptake. Just look at current rates of COVID vaccination- less than 20% of adults received 25/26 booster 😳

Scientific institutions have consistently insisted on neutrality and clinical remove, reticent at best to wade into political debate. But there will always be those within the sciences who possess neither this ethos nor scruples who will speak falsely for us. Which is why silence isn’t an option.

Okay yeah Weezer is definitely the top answer to “which band’s fans look most like the band” Q

If you send me an email using “streamline” and “stakeholders” it’s going straight into trash.

When a colleague in clinic asks to borrow a reflex hammer, we give them options 🔥 (I’m team Queen)

notably his cure is from CAR-T therapy, which is so new I didn’t even learn about it in med school THIS is why we invest in science

Teen, listening to parent’s long story: Um, can you tell this at 2x speed? #parenting

Omg I’m exhausted, is it bedtime yet?!? Narrator: it’s 750 pm

Yesterday morning news included police officer shot & killed by shooter at Swedish Hospital ER. Evening news of active shooter at WHCD. Woke up this AM to news of a mass shooting at my kid’s university, IU. Fuck. This can’t be normalized. #EnoughIsEnough

These assassination attempts, whether staged or not, are desensitizing us to political violence just like school shootings have done. We are not on a slippery slope, we are already sliding down that hill and are almost at the bottom.

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

Typically, I treat headaches. But this is one I’m proud to have caused.

family game night > family movie night >>>>> family all on screens in the same room

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.

I’ve reached the stage of my life where happiness in watching kids’ sports doesn’t matter if they win or lose, or how much they play, but whether or not I have my cushioned stadium chair #parentingwin

For the geneticists, child neurologists, GCs, and those with terrible insomnia who need something to read: Babies identified via newborn screening with infantile Krabbe disease need EMERGENT referral for transplant assessment to improve outcomes❗️🧠💕🧠❗️ www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/...

Dr. Amy Waldman presenting the FIRST disease-modifying therapy for Alexander Disease @aanmember.bsky.social #AANAM: This is a big deal! “Efficacy and Safety of Zilganersen, an Investigational RNA-targeted Antisense Therapy, in People Living with Alexander Disease: Results from a Pivotal Study”

This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.

Tim Curry, the absolute legend, turns 80 today. This man took huge swings.

10/10 recommend

Too good 🤣

Despite my best efforts to the contrary, medicine continues to teach me new things every single day #oldmedbluesky

Just want every single insurance company call center all across the US to have an asterisk by my name that says: just approve it asap because she’s a relentlessly unhinged bitch

Is Pope Leo XIV the right person to lead the Catholic Church? We asked four evangelicals at a megachurch outside of Nashville.

lol the notion that “data” helps put an end to misinformation 🤣😢😭😭😭

Child Neurologist At Work

I got my costume 6 months in advance!

Omg i can’t be the only one rooting for AI to take my job 🙏

on call mood

Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon all have headquarters in Seattle. This year the Seattle School District has an 80 million dollar shortfall.

Songs like Manic Monday & Friday I’m in Love should only be played on their correct day of the week
