I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

The folks in D.C. are bullies. They were the folks in jr. high who stuck their legs out to trip others. They laughed when someone fell and clapped when someone made a mistake. And now they give their undeserving friends top jobs and they run the country like a frat house. 😤

Your medical community has an impending battle to defend the standard of care in this country against this unqualified person who has been placed in an immensely powerful position over us. #medsky #VaccinesSaveLives #FundMedicaid

Lucas Johnson from On Being reflecting on the work of #hapc clinicians- and the importance of this community for us. He imagines that it can be isolating and lonely (it can be) and how thrilled we are to see each other (profoundly). I feel seen. #hapc2025 @aahpm.bsky.social

Hi #hpm family! I recently started a new job in the Center for Palliative & Supportive Care at UAB! Looking for some awesome HPM folks to follow & and learn from! I’ll be sure to follow #hapc25 this week! Thanks! 😊 @nickodomphd-rn.bsky.social

This is a free course for any healthcare provider who would like an introduction to palliative care by the Center to Advance Palliative Care in NYC. www.capc.org/training/int...

Do you know someone who has #multiplesclerosis? I have three first cousins on my dad’s side who have MS. Read more about my cousin Michelle, a clinical #pharmacist who has been THRIVING with MS for almost 25 years & started a YT page to help others with MS. #medsky www.linkedin.com/posts/laroni...

This is an incredible story! God bless Dr. Freeman. Sadly, she recently passed away at the age of 98, but the lives she touched (and saved) will never be forgotten. 💕 #medsky #blackmedsky www.oprahdaily.com/life/a366731...

There are only four HBCU medical schools in the country. Institutions like my alma mater, Meharry, are crucial in the fight for health equity in this country. www.cbsnews.com/news/black-d...

I get it sis! 🥹 This is a REAL feeling! #medsky

I absolutely LOVED this show! Can’t believe it was on for NINE YEARS?! It was this show and Alice! That was some good tv! #oldschooltv

Wow! 😮🙌🏾

As of right now, Bluesky is only a little more than 100K users away from 25 MILLION!! The growth of this platform since Election Day has been absolutely INCREDIBLE!! 💙 bsky-users.theo.io

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially. Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

I love this guy! I can’t imagine constantly being in the spotlight and dealing with an illness like Crohn’s. 🩷❤️🩷❤️ blackhealthmatters.com/abbott-eleme... #medsky

I’m lucky to have some great local bookstores in and around the Birmingham area. So I try to spread the wealth and support all of them, even if it’s just buying a journal or bookmarks or calendars. Indie sellers need our support! ❤️ #booksky ❤️📚

I really believe that covering these drugs now would reduce medical and other drug costs in the future. If it eliminates the need for other meds, why not? This move could also address other comorbidities. www.forbes.com/sites/joshua...

@stales.bsky.social so good to see you out here! #LCSM

It is #WorldAIDSDay. Poster from 1987 by Jack Keeler, inspired by fellow Hoosier Ryan White. White died of complications of HIV

Unfortunately, many of us don’t know that palliative care is available for illnesses like CHF or heart disease. Patients need to know that they have options. #medsky www.stlamerican.com/your-health-...

“The most common cause of death from cancer is from lung cancer…yet just 16% of eligible people get screened for lung cancer, far lower than screening rates for colorectal or breast cancer. “ #medsky ktul.com/news/nation-...

“Patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC and typical EGFR mutations without progression after definitive chemoradiotherapy should now be offered osimertinib.” This article demonstrates the importance of RESEARCH! #Medsky ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/...

Twitter/X has turned into a decaying strip mall from my childhood. One that was once the spot, but has been overrun by hooligans, cheap/ fake stuff, and a weird smell that no one can get rid of.

Yes!! #Libraries are the coolest places in the world! ☺️📚📚 #booksky

What are 4 albums that would serve as an introduction to your taste. #BlackSky Here are four that give you a preview of what my taste is. “Classy. Bougie. Ratchet. Sassy.” 🤭🫣😎😂

Oh wow! This is beautiful! ❤️ #medsky

@emanleyjr.bsky.social Eugene!!! Ohmygosh! I owe you a return call and THE biggest apology! 😔❤️

Ugh! I do NOT understand why the folks who do this think they can actually get away with #healthcare fraud. THIS is why it’s hard to get approvals for those who truly need it! 😒🥺😡 #medsky #medicaid #homehealth fox2now.com/news/missour...

Wait…did the intro of the Eagles offense sound and look EXACTLY like #KeyandPeele East/West All-Stars intros?! 😂😂😂😂 #NFLsky

This guy & a few other accounts on here are asking yall rather personal questions, pretending to be insightful + harmless to increase their engagement while you're unwittingly compromising your security. Be careful yall

Wow! What an awesome #starterpack! If any of my followers or others you know who need to be in this group, reach out to the creator! #blacksky

As a lifelong Cowboys fan, I am so NOT bothered by this 3-7 record. I have been numb to my team’s (Jerry Jones) antics for years. Can’t remember the last time I watched a full game. I will always love them. But until we have a REAL GM at the helm, it will always be this way. 😒😩🤷🏾‍♀️ #DC4L #NFLsky

Just started Revenge of the Tipping Point, Malcom Gladwell’s 25th anniversary of his first book, The Tipping Point. I actually like him because he makes me look beyond the obvious. He has his critics as this article shows, but is the criticism warranted?🤔 #booksky www.nytimes.com/2024/09/29/b...
