I *HATE* that UpToDate has added an "expert" LLM to "help" with cases. Fuck me for subscribing for all the evidence based clinical citations I guess.

So ai calipers for tech based phrenology. Just because you’re blaming the eugenics on a computer doesn’t make it innovative.

I cut off a few feet of hair last year, but I still occasionally take off my glasses and whip my head back and forth when I wiggle. Allegedly.

There were TWO sachets inside my early gray pouch today, I just made an 18 hour playlist, and other than a gig client tomorrow, and me and my trusty plaster pelvis are up to our ischial spines in deadlines. Minus whale get it done. EYE'M being productive, but you don't have to be. You're welcome.

Help my friend Bara'a please! Help little Ibrahim ❤️‍🩹 gofund.me/74c01145

I’m never gonna understand or relate to the type of person who thinks debate is the highest form of communication and think debate should be the primary use for social media platforms. They’re from a completely different often extremely pampered world and we’ll always be oil and water. It’s fine.

Hours of surgeries but esp. wound debridement, is delightful background for horror writing me and medical me. Never beating the creepy but sweet(ish) allegations.

Spreading the word in case this is new info.

Skyline, what's a near-universally-accessible-from-a-phone tool to map locations on? Trying to avoid Google and other similar slop purveyors or anyone that would make you sign up for an account. If the answer is something I can embed in a website even better. *is making a resource map for my area*

I've been thinkin' 'bout choo-woo. The way I feel about choo-woo.

THEY'RE ASKING FOR PAPERS OF ALL CONSTRUCTION AND LANDSCAPE CREWS IN THE AREA, AND ENTERING BUILDINGS WITH CONSTRUCTION.

ICE AGENTS ON FOOT NEAR NORTHTOWN LIBRARY PRATT/WESTERN. THEY ARE ASKING FOR PAPERS.

The FAA will reduce flight capacity at 40 major airports across the U.S. starting Friday, officials say

There it is. One people, one sandwich! Until victory!

When its a Black church revival and the grannies all look like tokusatsu team members in their power ups >>>>

I’d love to see something like this replicated in Chicago; such a great example of community self-advocacy!

Never underestimate power’s ability to find aligned interests with other forms of power.

the best thing that we can do in this AI-slop-filled, influencer culture, fascist era is keep it real. make art. be authentic. lead with joy. tell the truth. we win.

You see how many of these politicians CARRIED in their election races WITHOUT throwing trans people under the bus? Exactly, exactly.

This + ibuprofen = lunch of champions

"Listen. My social anxiety makes getting my hair done at a shop so difficult. I just want someone to hold my hand and tell me where to get a good blowout/silk press every two weeks." -Desperate in Crown Heights

I will keep auditioning barbers until I find another transplanted middle aged BW from Detroit with some clippers...or I'll start another set of locs I guess.

“Be the smoke you want to see in the world” really just blessed me. Amen.

Generally respect the preferences of the owner-operator, but I prefer my forks circumcised.

The way I needed to see this video in my time of struggle. Part 2 in the thread. Financial depression and shame can be so isolating. I love all my people, broke or ballin 🫶🏾

This is as big a deal as Mamdani actually? In forever fascist ass MS...??? Like....

I’d disagree. With the album her of black billionaires being so low, the few that exist are infinitely more impactful and have more influence on both black and non black people as guides and representatives. They also have access to, in places, effect structural change ex. Jay- Z & the NFL.

It’s an in-joke that when Black women get bored, we go get a degree & pivot. It’s a whole lotta Black women unemployed right now, watching Rep Jasmine & Kamala & now the Detroit mayor etc, and I don’t think *those people* understood what they’ve activated by forcing us to have time via layoffs

I asked for an application of elbows instead of saying good morning if you're wondering where my chronic pain level have been at for the last few weeks.

👋🏿 Next week is my VERY LAST in person lab exam and I'm $905 short of the coin needed to get me there/back cause Oct. gigs were iffy. Thank you for rocking with me through 2.5 yrs of continuous calamity. This is the last 13.8% of this campaign. Every bit helps.

The updates on my fundraiser are a time capsule but if you've been half paying attention, I am provisionally licensed in WI, but completing the last births I need to get licensed in IL, which is kinda important since I've planted my Winifred-flag in Chicagoland, and y'all are permanently stuck w/me.

Getting a cheeky lil stream of BG3 in before I have to hop on calls and do the things today. I'll still be back later with more of The Outer Worlds 2. But let's raid the Goblin Camp on my dark Karlach run yeah? #PRCopy @doctorswithoutborders.org fundraising twitch.tv/cypheroftyr

Reminder.

So he and his dad could hand it to me. His dad said, the little boy looks forward to playing at the park because he hopes he will see the wizard again. And that he has told his friends about me, but they don’t believe him, because wizards aren’t real.

Every time I think I'm having a discrete moment of invisible dysregulation there's a new FLOMAC album casually narrating my meltdown.

My dad knew Cheney since he was fords chief of staff and would always say “i liked him then. Idk what the hell happened” In the run up to the second Iraq war my dad wrote an article comparing it to the gulf of Tonkin and Cheney himself made sure my father was fired from his gov job Anyway he’s dead

This was Celeste's Week 5 story at Clarion West, and I remember the experience of reading it for the first time, like it was yesterday. A specific sense of wonder and awe at what Celeste was doing on the page, the sharpness and brilliance and joy of it.

if you ever see a video of me on the internet where I am talking directly to the camera I want you to know making it nearly killed me, I hate it, please don't ask me to do this

We are heartbroken to hear about the passing of Celeste Rita Baker, a wonderful writer and human. It was our joy and privilege to publish her story “Me and Seed Sheself” in our magazine in 2022. Our deepest condolences to her loved ones, may she rest in peace. www.khoreomag.com/fiction/me-a...

Ahhh so this is my homie from High School’s band. It makes me so happy when I see them in the wild. She’s super talented (they all are but I want to brag on her)

Let's fly indeed.

no one survives being in love. some wounds just take longer to kill you.

Please understand that people will not be "going without SNAP/EBT/food stamps" - people will be going without FOOD. Actually and literally.

Please note this is also in addition to ongoing kidnappings across the suburbs, with sightings reported in more of them than we can even list at the moment. This is daily life now, and there's no one central place reporting them all.

ICE/CBP is active in Lincoln Park right now, has been spotted near Damen/Clybourn at Costco + Jewel (this is in addition to a morning abduction reported at Costco earlier). People believe grocery delivery drivers are being targeted and are asking folks to alert other vulnerable workers as well.

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong. How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
