Inspired to share some encouragement. If you're working thru hard things — please keep at it. 15+yrs later and I'm just now finding a way to process stuff I hadn't even been able to understand or acknowledge. My therapist says today's a big deal. Me? Better late than never? Anyway, do the work.

Hi 👋 I hear there's some political drama about an MRI. Radiology researcher and biomedical engineering grad student here to say full body MRI is still a gimmick with little clinical value and everyone who gets a diagnostic MRI is told why and where. Full disclosure — I'm team Tim Walz.

People spent HUNDREDS of hours watching this video which I love. (Maybe it's the of part standing up for ladies targeted by wellness gurus) But I realize it's Black Friday and I have a PSA. Listen to me meatheads — DO NOT BUY THE LADY IN YOUR LIFE FITNESS SHIT! Just don't. Here's what you do: 🧵 1/2

Not sure this counts as a Christmas present but feels like it. Just registered for spring grad school classes. It's only 1 class. Biomedical Device Infections meets weekly. This is likely my last class unless our PhD advisor gives in to my demands. Regardless, I'm done with the 1hr commute 3x week.

Awkward... When I've stumbled on this scene in the past, it was usually at closing time when I show up to drag my soldiers out of the strip club.

Not far from wrapping up grad school and forcing myself to share a forward looking view. The math looks a little off according to my graph but this month we dug into data used to Dx ADHD and autism. 1/2

The NYC medical research community is coordinating a rapid response effort in New York to counter this admin's adversarial policies that are dismantling science. I've been asked to help and feel compelled due to the fact that I've lost three co-workers very recently.

No I am not losing my shit today. Completely hinged.

Our Chuck Schumer is broken. Has anyone tried turning him off and back on again?

Lately my mental health sucks so I agreed to chat with yet another doc today. If you're struggling, you feel this, or just don't feel right — talk to someone. Anyone. Just start talking. I wish I could say all of this is easy. Sometimes the thing you need most is the hardest thing to ask for.

Big shakeup at my day job today and I don't like it. We lost 3 research staff so I should start talking about the app I started at the beginning of the semester. For now just testing with an old HR strap. Hopefully around the holidays you'll see this in the play store.

Fuck you Bill Ackman. Pay taxes you sh!t stain on science.

I see this Spotify boycott picking up steam. I hope it grows. There are a bunch of other apps. I left Spotify when they gave Joe Rogan a bajillion dollars and wrote about it in UXPlanet. I left for Tidal but listen to Deezer currently. Maybe I update this guide — medium.com/ux-planet/ar...

Don't expect to see the House back in session anytime soon. The Trump admin has effectively neutralized the co-equal branch of gov't most likely to oppose his assault on healthcare and immigration. Yes it's about the Epstein files. But the bonus for them is dismantling checks and balances.

I see MRI is a popular topic. As someone who works in radiology research, some of the most common reasons an 80yr old needs an MRI are to diagnose cancer, cardiac issues, or dementia. He doesn't have much time left folks!!

I like this Bullfrog Bagel place in Union Station. No one pays me to say shit so take it or leave it. Decent bagel sandwiches.

DC Metro > NYC Subway

Since my therapist insisted I call her tonight, a festive midterm season update for all: I took an exam. 3 PDE math problems. 3 hours. I did not "ace" it but it's possible I see an 80. Confident there is one complete and correct solution. I can do better.

I did not have shaking hands with Andrew Yang on my bingo card for today.

Just here to say shutting down Young Republican groups only makes it harder to keep our eyes on them. They learned their behavior the same way my kids picked up habits from me and their mom. So when Vance tells you this stuff happens in the Oval Office believe him. Show up to a protest. Okay bye.

I have a midterm next week and can't look at a math problem without thinking about the black women working at NASA in the 60s who did all this math by hand. I know a few a holes whitewashed history so you might not see this at the Smithsonian but it happened.

Of course you're not getting into heaven you dumb, evil bitch.

Breaking: human foreskin admits to causing an increase in train fanatics.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system." This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

You look better. Thanks the pediatric inpatients are blaring Shake It Off loud enough to hear all the way down the hall while doing their physical therapy today.

Despite what you might hear from the lunatics currently running this asylum, vaccines are safe and still recommended by experts. Spread the word.

Quick PSA: if I tell you "I don't have a medical license but..." you should immediately do 2 things. 1-leave me alone 2-go talk to your f'n doc about the rest of my advice You should go talk to your doc anyway. I'm so tired of saying this — Stop doing your own damn research.

Chat I'm buying a home!! We have everything set - except a closing date. Right now I need my therapist to help me unpack exactly why this is suddenly causing me such great distress.

Chat I just signed a contract, I'm one step closer to being a homeowner. 🤞🫨

Please start the rapture before my homework is due tomorrow morning. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

DISNEY DID NOT APOLOGIZE THEY'VE SHOWN NO REMORSE AND NO INDICATION THEY UNDERSTAND WHY THEY LOST SO MUCH MONEY

Hi friends, interns at Lift & Shift Foundation spent the summer making free puzzles and games. Over the weekend they fixed word hunt and you can solve 50 puzzles!! I added some donation links (we are a nonprofit) but game play feedback is just as valuable! games.weliftandshift.org

What if the rapture is just Jesus coming down to deliver the Epstein files?

Special shout out to all my Jewish and Muslim friends. Desperately need each of these days off school over the next 2 weeks. Maybe I convert 🫶

Get your ass outside folks. It's a gorgeous day... Especially to protest billionaires!!

For a few days I've had my hands on a practice exam for this grad school applied mathematics class. There are some problems with no solutions. In those cases, they turn into an essay where we have to explain theorems. Our exam is a few weeks out and we are so cooked.

For any of my friends posting advocacy content on YouTube, if you need a reply guy to handle the trolls in your comments all you gotta do is ask. I love these low IQ turds, they make me feel so smart.

Tonight’s Daily Show is already live on YouTube. We don’t have to wait til tomorrow to watch Jon Stewart youtu.be/_GXNJ3V9lzg?...

I didn't hear Zohran Mamdani say fuck billionaires tonight. But I'll say it. He said a lot of really good things tho. (And some bangers for Adams and Cuomo)

All of the unions in Hollywood should immediately boycott Disney/ABC. They only care about money, so go after that.

Chat I'm struggling! My grad school professor's changed our homework assignment three times this week. I get it he's interacting with us and adapting to how the class is struggling with content, but one thing at a time please. We haven't even seen the Epstein files yet!!

Corporations are clearly making the calculation that temporarily obeying Trump is the better option because they won’t face any punishment from future Democratic Governments. Democrats need to make it clear their calculus is wrong.

Don't worry y'all the Supreme Court will stand up for the first amendment.

Imagine needing care from one the world's best medical centers but it doesn't qualify for coverage by your health insurance 🤦 www.wypr.org/wypr-news/20...

Of course today I'm asking why we don't do more 31P imaging in our research lab. But more support for 2 great things if the news cycle or the direction we're headed is crushing your spirit. Exercise is never bad and therapy works.

This might be unpopular but I don't like homework anymore.

Are NFL teams on bluesky? Can I keep up on Ravens or Bills games here? #billsmafia #ravensflock
