My mother lost her battle to colon cancer 24 years ago. She was the best mom ever. She was there for everything. I miss her terribly. Before I had my own children, Mother's Day was a bitter day. Now that I have my own babies, it's bittersweet. 1/2

I'm so excited because in 20 minutes...

After spending 10 hours on the road, I made Easter eggs! The kiddos are going to be so excited! #Easter

Well done Harvard.

All about figuring out who the gaslighters are in your life. IYKYK #KnowledgeIsPower apple.news/AvEU8HRP1QHS...

So you’ve probably seen a bunch of #Match posts here. What you may see a lot less of are posts from the medical students and doctors that did not match. And as such, I’m going to share my story. A story of not matching. Because things really can turn out ok. 🧵

I’d like to know who the @nflbluesky.bsky.social source was who didn’t “like the halftime show.” Will someone in the NFL front office admit that with their name quoted? If you’re bothered by Kendrick Lamar’s show then you’re the ones who needed to see and hear it. apple.news/A7gly83T7QzO...

Reach out to your friends at the NIH, CDC, and FDA. They are not ok.

I’m surprised Bobby Kennedy isn’t in this photo… Our children are in greater danger.

Happy Valentine’a Day to my one and only!

I hate to say this, but I absolutely thought this would happen. Me and over 70 million other people…

I am the only Black woman to be appointed as chair of 2 academic pathology departments. I am Black History.

Yes, it’s Black History Month. You can try, but you’re not going to take my history away from me. Black history IS American history.

@cnn.com @msnbc.com as a physician currently working on an NIH diversity grant renewal I am very worried for its future with this administration given the DEI shutdown in the federal government today.

When you’re working on your diversity NIH training grant renewal and message after message says it’s not going to happen... I’m not sure if I should give up or keep going. 🥲

Instead of watching the inauguration, I’m going to honor this man instead. #DrMartinLutherKingJr

He’s not President yet. Please give us our time to mourn. Thanks.

Maybe just this once the inauguration should have been on a Tuesday.

Friends, this was posted on Facebook. When people show you who they are, believe them.

This about sums it up. Stay warm my friends!

Ok. Really? You must think I’m dumb.

Wordle 1,290 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 My go to word was finally the Wordle word of the day!

The finished product. #OreoCremePie

My kids asked me to make an Oreo cream pie. About to mix the cream cheese and sugar mix into the whipped cream. I can’t believe I made whipped cream!!!! First picture is the cream cheese mix. Second picture is the whipped cream❤️

Happy first day of winter my Northern Hemisphere friends… and yes we have snow! Happy first day of summer to those in the Southern Hemisphere!

I am sure you many of you have heard about the numerous drone sightings in NJ. My husband and kids saw one yesterday. I’m not gonna lie- I am worried about this.

I’ve been a very loud proponent for vaccines. That said, as a pathologist, I have never been asked to preach to their benefits. I am a physician. Why not embrace those who want to fight for the cause?

God bless Nikki Giovanni. She was a whole force. I am glad she is no longer suffering. May she rest in peace!

I’m going to just leave this here. This is right up there with the people who think Africa is a country 🙄🙄🙄

@anneherdmanroyal.bsky.social found ya!

Heartbroken today. Peter Westbrook has passed away. A New Jersey native, he began fencing in high school at Essex Catholic in East Orange, an all-boys Catholic high school in East Orange. He won a bronze medal as a member of the US Olympic team and 3 Pan-American golds in mens’ sabre. 1/2

Don’t skip English class kids. Grammar and proper spelling are everything!

I just love that Monkey D. Luffy was in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade!

Cranberry sauce made with love from scratch. And no, there is nothing weird in it, just cranberries, water, squeezed juice of a couple of oranges and sugar. That’s it.

Pumpkins turn into pies!

These are white baking pumpkins. I roasted them in prep for pumpkin pie (my brother and my kids love pumpkin pie). It’s amazingly easy to make pumpkin pie from scratch and gives me tremendous joy.

Today my daughter informed me that since it’s almost Thanksgiving Mariah Carey will soon be done defrosting and will be ready to go for Christmas. She’s 10.

Oh, and I may show pics of Thanksgiving food cooking. I like to cook and bake. Lol!

So I should be tidying up for the holidays. Instead, I am working on position justifications, emails, and maybe if I am really lucky, working on my food shopping list for thanksgiving. Not going into the office has long ceased to mean not working when I’m not there. Food for thought.

I’ll just leave this right here.

We need to normalize physicians being human. I feel like I was dragged through hell this morning. But because I was out for a funeral yesterday, I feel obligated to be in the office today, especially since I have 2 in person meetings and a conference to teach at 4. Heal thyself doctor.

I am so grateful for everyone who has followed me here. I don’t deserve it but y’all are awesome!

Nobody can ever accuse pathologists of being boring! Our 75th anniversary celebration, courtesy of Dr Jerry Ritchey’s OK State CVM band! #ACVP2024

Post a *perfect* album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

It was @nintendousa.bsky.social all along!

We’re in the Sunken Place.

The fact that a man with no background in science, and is anti-science will be the next leader of Health and Human Servcies is today’s latest example of the travesty this election was. Another bad decision for America.

I haven’t seen a #pathsky starter pack yet! I’ve tried to keep up with all of the new pathologists joining, but I know I have missed many! Please tag yourselves/others below and I will follow them and add them 😁 @kmirza.bsky.social @clilleymd.bsky.social @brettkurpiel.bsky.social go.bsky.app/6bWDSjT
