"most routes will run on a saturday schedule" translation: regular pittsburghers get fucked bc neither prt nor the city set aside sufficient funds for transit for the draft for many buses in the city, saturday schedule means once every hour and twenty minutes. people ride those buses to WORK

The more I look at this road closure map, the more puzzled I am. You're urging pedestrians to cross via the Roberto Clemente, but you're not closing Fort Duquesne Blvd completely? You're not closing the 10th Street Bypass? Why are Stanwix and Cecil even open to cars?! (Prob b/c there are garages.)

Relieved that my head is better today. Onward to patient schlepping!

Liberals say that Trump's deranged behavior is an embarrassment to our democracy. They're wrong—Trump's deranged behavior is an embarrassment to our republic.

Sad bird news: brood one has been lost. It looks like the babies were blown out of the hanging basket nest during Sunday night/Monday morning’s storm. One of the bebes landed upside down on my porch deck. I imagine the other is somewhere in the porch border. I buried the sweet little guy. 🥺

If you spot ICE agents at an airport in the coming days, I’m still collecting stories and I want to hear from you. Reach me via Signal at marisakabas.04

Migraine day. Always worse when I wake up with it rather than feeling it coming on.

Fuck ICE

Egads it’s hailing right now (tiny stuff, currently on the shuttle heading to my lot) #yinz

Just sat down for lunch and checked my steps so far. I’m already at 7.1 miles 😳

It’s soppy and foggy, yinz.

Here come the big boomies.

Brood 1 of 2026 has hatched! It’s too windy to get a good pic rn but here was the new mum earlier today

Post a pic you took, without context, to bring some zen to your feed.

Robert Mueller was one of the last well-dressed men in Washington. Soft shouldered suits with white button-down collar and foulard ties. Wore his watch on the underside of his wrist, as a holdover from his military training. One of the last to carry that classic American look.

Back at Presby for another fun 6am shift

Oakland. Bates Street. Caller reports a woman chanting outside since sunrise. Caller doesn't like this. Happy Ostara.

Please soothe your soul with this footage of an enraged muppet being treated at the wild muppet center.

East Liberty. Rural Street. Caller said that they were exploring an abandon building and they’re stuck on the second floor. Also it’s on fire.

Wooooot!

I have already walked neatly 6 miles before lunch. Curious how crazy it’s going to continue to be with patient transport after lunch. 🫤

It’s a #ThePitt Thursday, Yinz! Time to give my patients the real Pittsburgh experience n’@

Sign says, "Be brave enough to suck at something new." ❤️

Dear god, today has been…yeah.

I miss my cats. If only they could train as therapy cats and I could bring to work with me in a fancy little pram.

Today I have been basically living in radiology with my patients while they get scans. It’s making me hella sleepy. 🫤

Up and at ‘em, fam!

ICE spotted near Harbor Freight in Cranberry Township Frontline Dignity is onsite

Time to give blood in exchange for PTO 🥹

Yinz: the main roads look good but are salty af; make sure your wiper fluid is topped up! ❄️

I found a path to the timeline that correctly had Al Gore winning in 2000. In their timeline, the Middle East has no real power and the world has moved past fossil fuels. The air is so clean…

As a nation, we are not evolving. *sigh*

Another vulnerable person dead after leaving ICE custody. www.wtae.com/article/sist...

This.

This is hands down the best thing that you will read all day. And if someone doesn’t put out a t-shirt that has a picture of a dolphin on it with the caption, “You don’t question Gerald”, then what are we even doing here?

The UPMC shuttle driver is playing “When I Need You” by Leo Sayer and everybody in here is singing along. These are my people. 🚡

Which of my Pittsburgh peeps is connected with the VA? I have a patient’s son who wants to get in contact.

My children complained I was “too rowdy” while watching the Oscars. 😂

Despite the wind warning, this was my least-blustery drive in days.

Something so beautiful about Buddy Guy being there. His mentors like Howlin’ Wolf and his heroes like Lightnin’ Hopkins are all gone. Jimi Hendrix is dead. But he’s still here. He basically was in the same place as Sammy in Sinners and he’s still here.

My god, that recreation of the juke joint scene from #Sinners gave me chills. Took my breath away. Wow.

"American cinema needs more of this raw truth — stories that pulse in the blood and set spirits free. We don’t need endless remakes. We need the conjure, the haints and the original hope that comes from knowing exactly who we are."

My Ides of March fun fact is that the place where Caesar was stabbed is now a cat sanctuary, and I think it’s beautiful that creatures with tiny knives on their feet live there
