“The military would never turn on its own people” I’m from Philadelphia, a city where the police firebombed citizens. They sent troops to Kent State in 1970. They sent troops to NYU last year. I really need y’all to sit & examine what makes you think you were ever exempt from state violence.

Very relevant today.

‘As Deleuze and Guattari wrote fascism in the 1930s was not fundamentally a problem of ignorance: ‘The masses were not innocent dupes; at a certain point, under a certain set of conditions, they wanted fascism’’ www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/se...

That's on a #GarlickBLT (book launch tour)

Oncology nurse here. Leucovorin is a drug critical to safe administration of life-saving cancer treatment (colon cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, toname a few). We've experienced very severe shortages in the past. Please, just no.

We Should Be So Much Further Ahead…. “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom." - Isaac Asimov.

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

Lol why do 2 negative evaluations overshadow 30 positive ones

I don't know, can an AI doula massage your back during transition? Hold your hand? Hold your cup when you take a drink? Hold your hand to balance in yoga poses? Walk down the street to pick up dinner for you after delivery? Physically position your baby for breastfeeding? I thought not.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

I was also so fortunate to have @garlicksauce.bsky.social present as part of the #GarlickBLT this week in Public Health Nursing!

MY BROTHER IS OFFICIALLY DR. GRAZIANO!!!!!!!! @vinnieviruses.bsky.social

J. Sotomayor dissent: "The Government, and now the concurrence, has all but declared that all Latinos, U. S. citizens or not, who work low wage jobs are fair game to be seized at any time, taken away from work, and held until they provide proof of their legal status to the agents’ satisfaction."

TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, & chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to lift vaccine mandates, did your dept do any analysis of how many new cases there will be? LADAPO: Absolutely not T: You didn't even do a projection? L: It's an issue of right & wrong

The NRA defending trans people['s rights to guns] was NOT on my 2025 timeline.... but.... ok....

AMAZING scholar and colleague Dr. @laura4n.bsky.social and some colleagues wrote this informative article about fradulent participants targeting qualitative research incentives, and the consequences for qual research: www.jmir.org/2025/1/e68393

We need "you are not immune to propaganda" but for AI use risks We have seen too many cases of 1. Highly educated folk starting to believe LLMs are sentient. 2. Folk with no prior mental health issues becoming delusional. 3. Prrofessionals becoming reliant on it to do things they could do better.

In their reflection, a student hit me with "While I do not know who, or how, I do know that there will be brave nurses who will make change for the better and while some of us will be immortalized in history it is the actions of every nurse that will create change." Not me crying in bed grading it!

Devastated that dems and liberals are holding up Gavin Newsom as some hero for his PR stunts when he's literally platformed Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon (i.e., nazis) on his podcast AND there are so many cooler progressive candidates/politicians

Watched a bear mosey its way across the street today. Love vt

I know I worked literally all summer, but I'm really not coping with the fact that I'm back on my normal contract tomorrow, lol

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

I take great pride in the fact that my department does not teach to the NCLEX, yet we have a 97% first-time pass rate this year. Nursing education doesn't have to be what it has become!

Access to safe abortion protects the health of women and girls. As with all other health services, women and girls should be able to access safe and respectful abortion care, when they need it, without fear of harm, punishment or recrimination. #HealthForAll

I've been on multiple customer service chats with a specific smaller company for an ongoing issue in the last 3 weeks... today, they were like, "You're always so polite over the chat. Thank you for that." What are y'all doing to people who are just doing their job???

One does not simply dabble in qualitative methodology. You must let it consume your entire being.

Here's a treat for state politics and policy researchers: Ethan Dee and I published a dataset in Nature: Scientific Data with the universe of state legislative bills since ~2009 coded by 28 policy areas. We used a machine learning model built off open source components.

In a survey of gender minority individuals, nearly all feared losing access to gender-affirming care within the next four years, emphasizing the need for supportive clinical engagement. https://ja.ma/3Iy64io

My new article in JAMA Network Open is out today! Let's take a quick look. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Pre-ordering immediately

Starting everything I write from now on with "hey 'boys' and, in some cases, 'gals.'" Actually laughed reading it

This is literally the definition of a white nationalist police state.

Currently reading "In Catastrophic Times: Resisting the Coming Barbarism" I'm disappointed I haven't read it sooner!

Think Gestapo Think people disappearing because they didn’t salute the leader Think it can happen here because It is happening here And it *is* going to be on a scale across populations that the US has never seen before

i wanna cry.

This is a really beautiful op-ed for pride: Reveling in the Queerness of Nature www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/o...

Y'all know L&D was never for me, but AWHONN seems like THE conference to be at... and the repro justice topics im seeing online are 💥💥

Anyone who's defended Israel with the slogan "Israel has the right to defend itself" is going to find a reason that doesnt extend to Iran

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.

The US has been at war for something like 80% of my life.

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

A dark day, but we persist & resist.

I actually don't think we need to do studies to determine what will happen if a ban on gender affirming care will happen: we just have to look to the past and present to see the agony faced by trans folks who cannot access gender affirming care already

ATTN Health Care Workers-New pub alert! Digital Defense Toolkit: Protecting Ourselves from Artificial Intelligence-related Harms doi.org/10.3912/OJIN... has been published via the ANA's Online Journal of Issues in Nursing Follow me for a quick review of what this toolkit is & why it exists (🧵)⬇️

Hey do you guys think the positivist scientists have realized that science is political yet, or do they need RFK Jr's brain worm to say more dumb stuff

Made Maxie a new mat for her bird watching window and Morel & Bolete are 7 weeks old!!

Textile arts - family keeps saying I should sell my lil knit/crochet items, but its something I do for me (and the limited ppl I make things for). I want to be able to take 6 weeks or 3 days, depending on my free time/desire. I don't want to frog 5 hours of work bc I made 1 misstitch.

As an RN, I am not allowed to cover my last name on my ID because patients have the right to know who is caring for them. ICE shouldn't be allowed to cover their faces, IDs, badge numbers, etc. - we have the right to know who is arresting, assaulting, disappearing, and trafficking human beings.
