Don't cross the picket line for mediocre coffee, folks. Union strong. 💪

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win. Please do repeat this insight.

LISTEN UP, DORKS! @standupforscience.bsky.social is getting (even more!) political. People often say "well what can one person do??" 🥊 If all our followers joined Science Fight Club and gave $5 a month, we could save science! 🥊Join here: www.standupforscience.net/join-science... SHARE WIDELY!

the thing about tech like this is that it fails. a lot. power cuts occasionally, wifi signal is bad, a sheep chews a cable, a software update blows the system. so much of what we do in longterm building conservation is low-tech because it works and is reliable. bsky.app/profile/worl...

Oh the medicine versions of this… Have you heard where our heparin comes from?

i fully agree with this theory and in my actual field, british architectural history, The Problem is that Salisbury Cathedral is built on top of a lake and no i am not exaggerating

between this and the FSO Safer (another ship at serious risk of exploding) I’m convinced every field has its “yeah, this is the problem that keeps me up at night” and I’m on a quest to learn about all of them

"the trajectory is really really really good if you look at it." 🤔

I CAN'T BELIEVE I NEED TO READ THIS

Patient Race and Preferred Language Influence the Use of Physical Restraints on Nonintubated Intensive Care Unit Patients @atscommunity.bsky.social #medsky 🔗 tinyurl.com/yc8hdwx8

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🔥 Simultaneous publication in multiple @jama.com journals by Prof @cervantes-lily1.bsky.social of her RCT and the patient experience analysis This is mic-drop science jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Firstly, do no (net) harm. ~ (adapted from) Hippocrates Reading Hunink et al (2014) this morning…

Interesting that NY gov Kathy Hochul felt compelled to put out a statement against Dems' deal to end the shutdown

Finally in print - The 1st publication in the New England Journal of Medicine describing the devastation of healthcare infrastructure & horrors in Gaza, calling on US Medicine to break silence. And yes it’s still relevant after the ceasefire #SilenceIsComplicity www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, which I’d read earlier but often revisit while navigating the dehumanizing maze of academia

I’ll go with “So Good They Can’t Ignore You” by Cal Newport

and of course Vogue's Book of Etiquette (1923 edition)

Barring that: Amy Kelly's Eleanor of Aquitaine and the Four Kings Frederick Hartt's Art Edmund Morris's Theodore Rex

The Souls of Black Folk by WEB DuBois, because it's the best argument for higher education ever written. Also Hangsaman by Shirley Jackson, because it recognizes that college is terrifying and/because it's transformative.

“Excellent Sheep” by William Deresiewicz

Albion's Fatal Tree: Crime and Society in Eighteenth-Century England by D. Hay, P. Linebaugh, J.G. Rule E.P.Thompson, and C. Winslow. Was formative.

I'm very keen, I must confess, on B. C. Dreyer Dot Social's English!

Those are good. I like a book that shows the beauty, pain, and struggle in a field (even if tangential to the field of study) is also helpful. I’m currently reading Working Stiff, the autobiography of a medical examiner, and I would have loved this, especially the trainee part, when I was starting.

Hey #AcademicSky and #Medsky 🩺🧪 What book do you wish someone had given you as a first year undergrad? Or did someone give you that was pivotal for you? (Or should it always be @bcdreyer.social’s English or Tufte’s Visual Display of Quantitative Info?)

This was not initially intended to be a comment on any Senators But cowardly bit players whose life story could be a James Callis cameo role are not rare

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Is there some sort of Lifetime Achievement Award for James Callis’s ability to play men who imagine themselves smart and are in over their head? Claude Whelan in Slow Horses Gaius Baltar in Battlestar Galactica The cringe. So much cringe

This looks smazing

Dr Dale Needham @icurehab.bsky.social : “it is important to remember that avoidance is a crucial part of post traumatic stress”

This is exhausting. But telling. Whenever you hear someone attacking feminists, you should know they’re attacking women and they’re too chickenshit to admit they’re attacking women.

It is always fascinating teaching in the same seminar room as Prof @yipingong.bsky.social My agenda for Week 11 of Death & Daring in the Modern ICU using @victorerikray.bsky.social and @hauschildt.bsky.social was surprisingly well paired with her on Viktor Frankl

Have a #MomentOfSven

This seems like a bad thing to have. I feel like the entirety of both parties should be anti-Hitler. But a senior Republican just publicly admitted that’s not true. That’s … really really bad.

Oh goodness this morning

I kinda love this, too

I feel like this might be a useful screenshot… “you can do this…You are annoyingly unstoppable.”

how is this real

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

I genuinely thought this was a diseased organ for a hot second

Prof @ruha9.bsky.social ... "includes the observation from a Black interlocutor that part of being Black in biomedicine means that Black bodies are highly desirable + visible as subjects for research for diversity purposes but ignored + invisible as patients worthy of medical care"

There is always hope of good people are willing to keep being decent

this is absolutely true and this should not strike fear, it should strike righteous fucking fury in you, are you going to let them break you, or are you going to make them break upon us?

yup, it's a non-ideological cross-cutting campaign that can help dems perform well with people aligned with them on an axis other than D vs R (this is also how trump won in 2024, just with prices)

Dems in ARRAY
