My wife made the first batch of Christmas cookies yesterday. And today is a #SnowDay (for the kids), so of course, I started my day with eggnog in my coffee and a Christmas cookie. #ElfMode

Update: Our sweet but rambunctious pup has officially been rehomed with my boss.

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

Feeling gassy after Thanksgiving? Take a fart walk. Light exercise after a big meal can help. Whatever you do, resist the urge to lie down.

Is there a plate thread?? I wanna see everyone’s plates. Share if you took a pic!

What year was this made?? Because they misspelled methamphetamine… #DrugWarPropaganda

I just took this photo of my dog and I would like you to admire my framing…

I’m sorry, ‘career’? I feel like that word suggests SALARY and ability to put food on the table. How much are the little Knight Mice paying for the their gear??

All of which illustrates how infuriating it is when dipshits say that AI can 'help me to brainstorm ideas'. It can't do that. It can plaster a deepfake smile onto the corpse of zombie capitalism as it shambles towards the precipice of climate catastrophe, but it can't create meaningful literature.

Uh-oh. I bought a new candy at Trader Joe’s and it is very good.

X, AKA Xitter, the Land of ‘Conflict Entrepreneurs’: farming rage for cash, since…? (h/t @npr.org)

Death blowing bubbles. Alert: DEATH BLOWING BUBBLES. 🚨 💀 💨 🫧

Now I really have to decide…make a pilgrimage to Trader Joe’s for their cranberry relish or suck it up and make my own? (I thought I was going to be able to enlist the assistance of a coworker who lives next door to it, but they have just called in sick).

My ex and I would joke about how we should have combined our names when we married (to be The Vessels), but really we never would…b/c we had randomly met the same guy in New Mexico whose name origin was: ‘Swahili for peace, my ex-wife and I picked it.’

Flying home after safely delivering my family to #Asheville…I have just been reminded to remove my KN95 before putting on an oxygen mask in the event of emergency…they said it generically on the overhead but I didn’t notice anyone else masked.

This is kind of interesting…like what does it feel like for a non-opioid dependent person to take 7-hydro? But missing from the discussion for me is: the risks of repetitive use of #Kratom products (tolerance, dependence, addiction for some), and the alternative (more varied).

Just passed a MASSIVE confederate* flag. Yes, on a roadside flagpole. #Virginia #Roadtripping *Or, as Tiny BookNerd (nee’ BabyPants) called it, THE BAD FLAG.

‘We only have seven hours left??’ - the 11 yo with an entire seat to herself, snacks/candy, and unfettered screen time… #Roadtripping

Dare I read this article? I have A LOT of hair. And I’ve always lost a lot of it (like in the shower/hairbrush), but now I feel like it’s thinning…but if I were to show up to see Past Family Doc Me, I’m pretty sure I’d be completely underwhelmed…maybe like check a TSH and reassure. 🙄

I don’t know who designs indoor hotel pools, but the acoustics are always astounding…like it makes my 2 sweet children sound like a screaming horde.

This whole thread is worrying me. Like do I want to get someone to pick up #SunnyPoint for me as I breeze into #Asheville tomorrow or will it just be a sad disappointment??

Y’all. This kid. Such a #Roadtripper.

Even though I’m the one who went and saw #Wicked last night, it just sounded like he was mumbling to me…until the song started. lol

#LittleGuy: Mama, please play the song uh muh nah muh nah… Wife: Siri, play No Good Deed #WickedForGood #LittlestWickedFan

My whole night has been derailed by #Wicked and the idea of giving my dog away to my boss.

I’m proud of my big brain and vocabulary, and I just learned a new word. Thanks, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! #SuiGeneris #SuiGenerisGate

Oh, shit, I do this TO MYSELF, as well…like I just thought: if I finish a clinic note, I can get to do Board Question, as a treat! #FMCLA #BoredExam

@cuddlekingofmaine.bsky.social This feels pertinent to our discussion this morning…

Just discussing #Kratom with a Primary Care colleague who was unfamiliar with it…brought up a memory of my very first patient I ever met who used Kratom, who was dealing with SO MANY challenges. It made me grateful for all the changes I’ve made in my professional life…

Immutable law of the Social Media Universe: Fire off a quick reply with a typo and it will immediately get twice the likes of anything else you’ve posted in the last week…

The most effective way to ensure that you’ll be up before 6 with #LittleGuy is to get him a new Lego set. 🫩 ☕️

His ‘reward’ for helping with the dishes (and helping ME achieve #SinkZero!) is that he gets to scrub the sink!

It’s #PuzzTime!

‘That was more intense on the dying part than I expected it to be’ - My wife, the writer, on the extraordinary #AndreaGibson documentary we just watched

Heh, whoops. I might have just referred to a patient as ‘What’s-his-butt’ to a colleague b/c I couldn’t remember his name… oops. #IAmAProfessional

This is legit the first mailbox in this thread that I REALLY want… I’ve just met Mr. Zip and I LOVE HIM. 😍

What kind of self-respecting coffee shop opens at 8 AM? And also the one that I drive by is not that good that there should be people waiting outside… Except for that open so freaking late.

How do we spread this phrase far and wide as the thing we say about new BS we would like to opt out of?? I also love the people responding saying they would like to choose the Bra Raccoon, over like AI… #same

I’m not falling for this again…won’t click and read, won’t click and read. (I did that once and THEN I heard it on the radio. 😒)

It seems this is turning into a #GameDay…

Yay!! We may be able to stay in this shithole country after all!

In my estimation, this is two steps more than required…those dishes will DRY THEMSELVES if you just give ‘em a little time. And then you can put them away tomorrow.

Sure. It’d be cool to know what very little my black lab is thinking. But am I the only one wondering wth is going on with his SHOES in this pic…??

The reason I need an #EV is because I hate getting gas. SO MUCH.

I have asked for one of these decor items for my birthday next year. Can you guess which one??

P

Like if Salvador Dali’s and Georgia O’Keefe’s art had babies…

The way I cackled…

It doubles as a Dick Cheney memorial shirt too, right?
