When someone tell you who they are- listen and believe. I truly do not understand anyone who isn't a white heterosexual christian thinking this party cares about them in any way, shape, or form. www.texastribune.org/2026/06/15/t...

Aloha #teasky - looking for some new tea reccomendations to try. Currently i'm loving #55 from Smith Teamaker and a 2001 oak aged pu-erh from Rare Tea Cellar. I've rarely met an English Breakfast or Irish Breakfast I didn't like. Thanks in advance y'all! #tea #blacktea #teatime

Just watched the 1st episode of Perry Mason - and holy Toledo the chain of custody and soooo many other issues!!!! How was he allowed to practice? Perry Mason was shady!

I will redo the entire post before I sacrifice an Oxford comma.

I have made a fair number of scones - most good, some really good, and at least 1 batch that is best forgotten. But this, this may be my crowning achievement in scone baking. Enjoying it with a delightful cup of Lord Bergamot. On my lanai. In Hawaii. As I listen to the waves. #ihatemealittletoo

For tonight's edition of baking to keep the existential dread away - Dark chocolate scones with dark chocolate chips and a vanilla drizzle

Long live the Oxford Comma

No- we're not planning for the fact that there will be loads of incriminating paper trails that we want eliminated. Why would you think that? #shockednotshocked #presidentialrecords

Rewatching Battlestar Galactica at S3E2 and y'all- the guys covering their faces as they drag people away are not the good guys. They are never the good guys. Fracking Foreshadowing

And in today's edition of WTF Texas... As the Texas Tech system is large and includes a medical school and APP programs this is very concerning for healthcare. And you know- people in general. apnews.com/article/texa...

Her name is Connie. She is an individual, complete person. Do better. And Yea! for NPR

It is, perhaps, the most L.A. thing ever that the Delta SkyClub has multiple pictures of bookshelves... rather than actual bookshelves

In what is not a shock to anyone - perceptions of health insurers is not positive- to out it mildly

Next up-Value Based Care w/ @katiekwonmd.bsky.social and MedPAC chair Michael Chernew Relative to inflation physicians pay has been falling. Bad for physicians- but not necessarily bad policy. they are still getting care at a good price. #rpa2026 #nephrology #medPAC #physicianreimbursement

Did you know that it was only in 2024 that we stopped using race as a reason to discard a kidney? Sit with that and what it means. #RPA2026 @joelbervell.bsky.social #nephsky

That it was only 2021 when Nephrology acknowledged the inequality of race based eGFR makes RPA's first lecture of the day on health equity ultra relevant. Thank you @joelbervell.bsky.social #rpa2026 #healthinequality

RPA starts the morning with the Louis Diamond Lecture. Dr. Manish Tanna takes the stage for an inspiring conversation with former NBA star Nate Robinson who shares his kidney transplant journey, offering nephrologists rare insight into the patient experience. #RPA2026 #nephrology #patientexperience

Keeping a practice viable in our healthcare ecosystem is no small task. The over 200 attendees at @renalphysicians.bsky.social Billing&Coding know RPA is the best partner they can have. #RPA2026 #nephsky #nephrology

Starting the morning at @renalphysicians.bsky.social Billing & Coding Seminar #RPA2026 @robertblaser.bsky.social #nephsky #nephrology

Umm- no they don't. For those to whom much is given - much is expected

I used my new recipe book to make a birthday cake for my husband - all lactose free. Yellow cake with a dairy free cocoa whipped cream. #obsessedwiththebest #cookbook #cake #veganfrosting #lactosefree #ellaquittner

Stargate S7E1 - Fallen is the best little love letter to #StarWars ever

@peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social on the off chance you are in Atlanta for some reason April 16-19 @renalphysicians.bsky.social is having our annual meeting and you are welcome to stop by.

Stargate S5E14- Rodney's not wrong in his criticisms of the protocol bypassing.

What in the actual Hell?

Holy toledo- that is an unfathomable amount of crazy in that youtube video. Though- if Jack Black and @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social want to to do a joint PSA - i'd love it. Not prepared for that rabbit hole-thought i was clinking on a jack should play him in the movie kind of thing

Mini batch of chocolate chocolate chip scones. Subtle and not overly sweet - good thing i wrote down what i did while playing with this recipe. Can't wait for #teatime tomorrow

In a nutshell- the current administration has gotten us into a mouth writing checks that the body can't cash situation - with missiles.

Did we threaten to invade *checks notes* Spain today?

For no reason other than she is 6 lbs of awesomeness Miss Stevie #rescuedogs #adoptdontshop

A series of screen grabs that effectively illustrate junior high me's personality flawlessly in its entirety. And also why I had no dates. #lesmis #victorhugo #geek #nerd #lesmiserables Yes, i've read the book - twice in junior high and once as an adult. And I can quote the entire musical

WTF? *smacks head against wall*

It is currently only 68° here in Honolulu- and very cloudy, wet, and windy (gusts of 40-60 mph) But- our lanai is still a great place for cake and tea for breakfast. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting. 2nd pic is from crack of dawn walk- the hotel next door

Puff pastry cups - 3 ways Mushroom Vegan crumble with peppers and onion Vegan crumbles with cheese and peppers and onion All in a redwine reduction

Balmy afternoon in paradise as democracy crumbles- I make dark chocolate souffles. Its how I cope. #hawaiilife #bakingmyfeelings #chocolatesoufflé

I'm feeling the Oh, Canada moment. We once had leaders who spoke with such poise and conviction. #TakeDownTheSigns Watch it or read it -it is worth it. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... www.youtube.com/live/dE981Z_...

To everyone who was too precious to vote for the qualified woman (or to even vote at all) - are you happy now? Literally watching our democracy and world relationships dismantled- and we have 3 years to go.

Had this been a plot in Veep- I'd have laughed my head off. But it's not. In this messed up timeline the entire world is having to actually deal with this. Greenland. NATO and 75 years of stability and trust over an unstable orange muppet's ridiculous whims. There goes the planet #MelBrooks

Know what was disrespectful to law enforcement? Attacking them on Jan 6th... now what did he do about that again?

Just when I think I couldn't possibly WTF harder- this. There is not a WTF big enough or loud enough. The "not" nazis just pasted a Nazi slogan on their podium. #noem #makeitstop

Living in Hawaii and waking up after the rest of the US has started giving me serious morning anxiety- waking up wondering what fresh insanity has been unleashed- every single day. So- here is our cute dog - cause WTF dude.

Cake for breakfast is my vibe for 2026 #TeaAndCake

What is it with Greenland? Why this single minded obsession? Did Greenland bully him on the playground or something? This is insane.

We are 5 days into 2026 and already *checks notes* The Kingdom of Denmark is having to threaten us with NATO. Just WTF?

In all seriousness- it is frightening how much of our democracy actually functioning was based on having a semi decent human in our highest office. It is kind of amazing that we made it 200+ years Clearly we need steonger guardrails

This song and very pointedly his adlib at the start is hitting me in the feels this morning #RandyNewman #Boom youtu.be/Kg_LDeUEiWY

What are the Vegas Odds on congress actually doing their job on this debacle that occurred over night? Anyone?

I had the privilege of briefly meeting Chuck- and saw him perform multiple times at JazzFest. I applaud his decision.
