Now THAT’S a Project I can support!! 👊

The government shit down now the longest in U.S. history. Yay, another milestone for this administration! 😠

LET THERE BE KETCHUP

California, You did it. You fought fire with fire and may have saved the midterms. May the blue wave roll for another 12 months!

Woo-hoo! Prop 50 projected to pass! www.washingtonpost.com/elections/re...

This 2025 election is looking like a referendum against trump and I'm loving it.

Probably dumb question, but why do they not start counting and reporting ballots as they come in? i.e. right now CA Prop 50 is reporting zero ballots have been counted.

we are living in the dumbest timeline.

I'm having a difficult time discerning whether I'm disillusioned by the possibility of a successful research career in this country or having a mid-life crisis. #AcademicMedicine

Made the hubs a pseudo banh mi sandwich to take for lunch using my homemade pate!

Tom yum chicken wings! Spicy, sour, sweet, and salty flavors combined with fried chicken are delicious! #DoctorsWhoCook 🍽️ #goodlunch

Government SHIT down.

Two weeks ago, I tried help a @3wishesprogram.bsky.social patient's brother get an expedited visa to come. I called @padilla.senate.gov's office everyday for 5days. Nothing came of it. I've learned it's because no one is available to help bc of the gov't shit down. Now it's too late. Yes, I'm angry.

My giant plaque came in the mail! I’m finally reading it and love what it says. #CHEST2025. @accpchest.bsky.social

Last night, I had a DREAM that I was sleep-walking and went drove to the ICU on my day off. I was very confused when I showed up in the hospitals in scrubs and wearing home slippers. It was super stressful.

Roasted duck and roasted garlic with homemade sourdough baguette! #DoctorsWhoCook 🍽️

Made sourdough baguettes for the first time! Not the prettiest but very edible

It’s so dark outside….didn’t we vote against this one year?

Broke two ducks down. Rendered the fat, used the carcass to make a giant pot of stock, and made the liver into pate. How’s that for being a resourceful Asian? #DoctorsWhoCook

I made ttoekbokki in a brown sauce with ground beef and it’s delicious! #DoctorsWhoCook 🍽️ #goodlunch

Korean food tonight! Fire chicken and ttoekbokki! #DoctorsWhoCook 🍽️ #goodlunch

If you have the capacity, donate to your local food banks as the government shit down let families go hungry. secure.lafoodbank.org/site/Donatio...

At a house last night. People go all out in my friends’ hood.

HomeGoods is a very dangerous store to discover things you didn’t know you need.

Happy Caturday. #Simba #Pepper

Hubs and I wishing you a very happy Halloween!

THIS

I think I'm going to call it a shit down from now on. Sometimes typos are better at telling the truth.

Happy 3rd birthday to #Pepper! Happy Halloween! (And please be nice to black cats, they are the best).

Bc of the gov't shit down, LA school district is going to start providing school DINNERS, so that kids don't sit in class with grumbling stomachs. Bravo for LAUSD, but shame on this gov't. And I just realized that typed "shit down". Going to leave it at that.

I know, weird, right?

Driving away from the hospital at 9pm tonight, I saw a bunch of college kids walking in costumes (around the fraternity and sorority houses). Is it normal to have Halloween parties on Thursday night when Halloween is tomorrow?

As a specialist, I am not considered the primary care provider for my out-patients. That being said, I've practiced long enough to have patients I have seen for many, many years. And now it's getting hard to witness some of them enter end-of-life from other illnesses.

I don't need Trump-voters to admit they were wrong. I don't even need them to regret their vote. Just please acknowledge now that Trump is bad for our country.

sad state of America

I bought these persimmons a week ago (via instacart). They are super unripe and this weird yellow color. I’ve never seen persimmons like this! Are they ever going to ripen?

Done. Yes on 50.

This autumn kale and quinoa salad with chutney dressing was amazing! I served it with seared salmon so the hubs wouldn’t accuse me of trying to kill him with a vegetarian meal, but it would’ve been good standalone too! #DoctorsWhoCook 🍽️ #goodlunch

Hub's workplace is warning that folks will have to be furloughed soon if this government shutdown drags on. We'll be fine, but I know that it's not fine for many families, and it's really not okay.

Someone who heard my talk on the @3wishesprogram.bsky.social at #CHEST2025 just emailed me to seek advice on how to start the program at their institution! How cool is that?! #Kindness is spreading. #CHESTSoMe @accpchest.bsky.social

Raise your hand* if you got as far as you have in education/work/life because the govt provided for your family in the form of food, welfare, medical, educational support, etc. ✋ Refugee or not, you might surprised who needed help at some point. *Disabled parent/disability support/food support

Just landed in LA and can’t decide if this is better or worse than the cold, dark, rainy PNW.

No response after I sent in the visa application # …just made my call #5 today to @padilla.senate.gov office…

I am dying

Damn, that squirrel just stole an apple and ran up a tree. Imagine eating a fruit 3x’s the size of your head.

Our friend told us he got a pizza oven. I was not imagining a stand alone thing that required for him to build a slab underneath and shelter over it!

Someone just emailed asking for his visa application #! Some hope….
