Very excited to dive into @theferocity.bsky.social & @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social’s curated The People’s Project - and to support my local indy bookstore @winchbookgallery.bsky.social to boot!

Trump’s executive order banning transgender girls from sports is part of a chilling, sustained campaign targeting trans people. We will challenge this order. Read our full statement: www.glad.org/trump-sports...

When discussing serious health issues with patients, it’s crucial to ask permission each time a new sensitive topic is broached… people may have specific needs, timing, or preferences they’d like to voice before you “go there.”

The existential dread pin made for a great gift!

Interesting upcoming panel on MAiD on 2/11/25- with attention to how vulnerable groups without access to robust health care and treatment may be affected by #MAiD #hpm #hapc my.wlu.edu/mudd-center/...

The palliative care world lost a very bright light recently - Dr. Danielle Norieka. Exceptional physician and health equity advocate. I was lucky to have benefitted from her expertise over the years. #hapc #hpm www.vcuhealth.org/news/because...

Dr Gray’s @nathanagray.bsky.social #graphicmedicine has definitely helped me convey important messages within my hospital in ways that words alone cannot. Highly recommend! #hapc

Rest in peace, Cornelius Baker. Had the opportunity to be on staff at DC’s Whitman Walker Clinic in the late 90’s under his direction. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/h...

Happy to contribute towards @hcwvshunger.bsky.social for team #comfortfood in support of www.brafb.org

Using a feminized version of Elon’s name to ridicule him and highlight his closeness with Trump (“Elonia” vs Melania), invokes homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic tropes that contribute to the dangerous environment women and LGBTQ people face, @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social. It’s not resistance.

Now more than ever. Thanks @clairezagorski.bsky.social for the badge reel, helping me convey this important message in the palliative care space #hapc

How do we say goodbye to patients nearing end of life? #hpm #hapc Glad to have a colleague among authors of this recent Fast Fact www.mypcnow.org/fast-fact/th...

How do we manage complex feelings when working with patients who voted differently from us? Emotions that arise are natural in our efforts to serve. Highly recommend this piece from Healwell - amazing DC area org providing massage therapy to those affected by illness. healwell.org/blog/b/love-...

A hope as the new week begins:

For the @nytimes.com I wrote about how Enough is Enough with the incumbent president and his cabinet of folly and let’s stop coddling Trump voters and be real clear-eyed about what lies ahead. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

Thankful to provide #hapc inpatient palliative care alongside such talented music therapists. And feeling fortunate to live near a local conservatory that has such a robust MT program! www.su.edu/conservatory...

Grateful for our emotional support #hapc dog. She seems to always know whenever I need to rest & regroup.
