All set for now, commissions in process.

My mom had a retinal hemorrhage and said "My doctor didn't tell me I couldn't do headstands!" Me: I'm sorry that happened but I can't get too mad at a guy who didn't think to mention to a 68 year old not to do headstands.

I bought six different pairs of pants for a friend who never buys clothes for themself and every single pair fit perfectly. I feel like I have magical powers.

polyamory is on the rise because economic inflation and security advancements have made two-person bank heists practically unfeasible

Looking to commission some sci-fi fanart and don't know where to start

CUNY making this comic real lol

This is a harrowing account of city under siege www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This week I had a patient who asked chatgpt about potential diagnoses. I had to inform him I was already testing for all of those and more. He seemed surprised. Like bro, this is both my job and my special interest. #medsky

Whether it’s trans rights, or genocide funding, or all sorts of corrupt corporate laws, there’s only so many times you can fuck over your voters before you make yourselves our enemy. It’s madness to think you deserve unconditional support just for sometimes being a bit better than actual Nazis.

If I've said anything smart on Palestine in the last couple years its likely cause @diplomatofnight.com has offered insight and analysis freely and generously. I'm going to pitch in, and if you have the means I'll encourage you to do so as well.

Emissary is one of the best, most cogent writers & thinkers on Palestine on this or any other platform. Please help if you can!

Ignoring for a moment that this article is a mess, if I had a dick I would find the idea of it boning on in another's life after I was dead hilarious and cool www.medpagetoday.com/surgery/tran...

Every year I see at least a couple of cases of scurvy and I definitely did not expect that when I was a student

Increasingly convinced

I've seen some horrific cases of disseminated zoster. We're talking oh-god-I'm-on-fire pain, eyes, ears, *brain,* you're spending days in the hospital at minimum. I'm giving you so many pain meds and it's still not enough and now you're hallucinating from lack of sleep.

"I'm a trauma surgeon, I'm used to my patients dying, but I'm not used to them being killed in their hospital bed after I've put them back together and they're scheduled to go home ... [Israel's] attack was at 10 p.m., and [16-year-old] Ibrahim was going to be discharged at [6:00] the next morning."

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Followed Harvard Crimson on Instagram to know what the kids are up to and oh. Oh no.

I bought my mom a mustard yellow Hairbella satin-lined rain scarf for Christmas and my dad told her she looks like Kenny from South Park :(

Unreal levels of civic engagement happening here

Oh my god

i started saying 'hey chat' when i enter team meetings this week and our youngest team member is SO MAD HE HATES IT SO MUCH

There are way too many people in the world that have not heard 'fuck off' enough.

if elected president i promise to be just as corrupt as our current leadership, perhaps even moreso. but I will also reinvest the entire defense and policing budgets into creating what i call The Health Cigarette

Seeing folks help backstop organizing workers this way is a big one for the “I do not regret to tell you that we are going to win” files. When I think about conditions we’d need to make smthg like a general strike possible—stories like this make me hopeful we’re building in the right direction.

The news is a torrent of horrors. Glee in domination and crimes against humanity. Dystopian tech and financialization. Antihuman futurism. All championed by sociopaths and raw id. We should be calling for humanistic moral revival, whether religious or secular.

I literally had a horrible, vivid dream about this very thing a few years ago and wow does it feel like everything we're being sold now is designed to make us hate each other and ourselves, just non-stop misery machines everywhere all the time

Torture is a feature of life in thousands of US jails and prisons. It’s often blamed on “guards,” but someone had to design this contraption, build it, plan its use, and run it up the chain of command. Judges and lawyers had to create a legal regime where this stuff pervades for decades.

The hepatitis B vaccination is an essential safety net for newborns. Without vaccination, as many as 9 in 10 infants infected with hepatitis B in their first year of life will develop chronic infection that can lead to liver failure and death. publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/why-hep...

This popular hot guy Tiktok creator revealed that he is 5' 9" and the comments were full of women expressing disbelief because they guessed at least 6 feet. Women don't know what 5' 9" looks like and men have no idea what 160 lbs looks like. Remove your dumb app preferences, people!

I don't understand why so many straight women are seemingly obsessed with men being 6 feet or taller. Most people can't accurately guess height when looking at another person across a room, and yet attraction occurs anyway. I swear people weren't this bizarre about uh things when I was in my 20s

Someone needs to make a dating app that is in every important way just 2013 OkCupid for phones

Like once a day I think about the part of The Mercy of Gods where the main characters have to shit on a puppy pad in front of their colleagues for weeks and aren't given anything to wipe with the whole time.

Blue Cross: We won’t approve your patient’s hysterectomy until she’s had an endometrial biopsy Also Blue Cross: Once the biopsy is done, the hysterectomy will be approved. We don’t need to wait for the result This is an insurance company insisting I inflict violence on a patient for no reason

Increasingly suspicious looks from my Hungarian patient as I correctly pronounce his name and then his parents' names

Boulevard of Broken Dreams played on a lute at a Ren Faire/TTRPG craft market speaks to my millennial soul

Ever since my brother derisively used the phrase "culturally straight" when we were hanging out one day this past summer I have been obsessed with cataloging things that belong in that category

Every few months I land back on LVAD Tiktok and I feel like I know everyone there now

Oh my god

We're living in a Gary Shteyngart novel. We're living in a @trashfuture.bsky.social bit. Tech bros looked at the beautiful, ancient bond between humans and dogs and decided dogs need credit scores. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8DmQqXw/

this is what will show up if you invite me to your ai & copyright law conference

Who was it who joked we're like six months away from raising money for hospitals by allowing betting on patient outcomes?

let's hollow every institution out on a slow burn for a while until everyone is at the breaking point, and then let's turn loathsome kleptocrats loose with armed goons, tactical starvation, and gilded ballrooms. surely nothing could go off in a surprising direction

What a time for me to not be able to have a stiff drink

It's not only that it's an issue on which it is impossible to out-cruelty the right, it's an issue where every single concession build power for reactionary goons and does nothing to placate the rural voters that just as easily see a quote from an Oberlin undergrad and assume Biden authorized it.

I would love one theorist of "why the democratic party should go right on immigration" to 1) look at what Clinton and Obama and Biden actually did, and 2) to reckon with the fact that despite those overtures, Stephen Miller now has a goon army doing forcible deportations without due process

I was almost late for work because I was absolutely lost in @runnerwing.bsky.social's latest The Devoured Worlds fic
