If you're scooping up students off the street for writing op-eds, you're secret police, and should be treated accordingly.

Thinking MA should say it's on the hunt for the kidnappers and that they plan to arrest and prosecute those who snatched her from the streets. Make the Trump admin defend that its power here was lawful. It looks utterly criminal under both fed and MA law and thus bad to act as if it might be legit.

Well, well, well. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2025/mar/26/donald-trump-signal-white-house-security-leak-jeffrey-goldberg-tulsi-gabbard-kash-patel-john-ratcliffe-us-politics-latest-news?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-67e41e6e8f08134b916f2d2f#block-67e41e6e8f08134b916f2d2f

My teen challenged me to make a heart model out of pipe cleaners and then rolled their eyes and said “you’re not going to post that on mastodon, are you?” So yup here it is 😂 #parenting

My friend Melissa Poett's book The Enemy's Daughter is coming out in May, and there's a #goodreads #giveaway happening now, for my #bookstodon friends who like such things! #books #ReadingCommunity #romantasy #mustread […]

I can’t get over the cognitive dissonance of spending 12 hours of intense work in clinic, using every minute of my 25 years of training and experience to formulate treatment plans for my patients with #cancer, and then to come home and check the news and to read about every part of the […]

One thing I sometimes do on here is, when I come across a good post, first check out the person’s profile, then look at some of their other posts, then decide they look like a cool human being and decide to follow them, only to discover that I already am. At least I’m consistent! 😂 #Mastodon

[drags chair across the floor] Hi, US friends. Have you heard of the “RVU system” in medicine? If not, stay a minute for story time. It’s a major reason US healthcare sucks so badly. Once upon a time there were some “researchers” at Vanderbilt University who wanted to test a new model of […]

Just ahead of my March 18th book release (and on Pi day!!!), the LA Times ran a wonderful review by Ilana Masad of THE EXPERT OF SUBTLE REVISIONS. The final paragraph below: “The Expert of Subtle Revisions” isn’t a political book, per se, nor is it moralizing […] [Original post on sfba.social]

Generally not a fan of Nicholas Kristof but he's a sound person to track the deaths that Elon claims haven't occurred on his watch. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I received a notification for this recent Bookbub review of my second book and it’s everything. Thank you to #readers who take the time to leave reviews. As an #author, it means so much to me when someone sees the heart of my book. When this book was published […] [Original post on mindly.social]

Now there's my favorite #standupforscience sign.

The official account of WA Dept of Health said not much happening in its account. I live in the Puget Sound and did not know such account exists. So, help me boost it so more people discover it, to encourage other orgs for using more open platforms. @WADeptHealth #PNW #Seattle […]

$0.56 That's what it costs in the US to send a postcard to the White House. On March 15, let's send POTUS the biggest flood of negative mail in our country's history. Tell Trump EXACTLY what you think of him. Let it rip (no threats). Bury this man and his aides under a mountain of honest […]

I love this woman. 💪🏼 Via AOC: I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Bingo. Via Rupar: Wyden on why he's not attending Trump's speech tomorrow and instead is hosting a town hall: "We're not interested in hearing about the Donald #Trump alternate reality."

Much revision ahead, but the first draft of book 3 is finished! At times, I doubted I’d ever get to write these words (the end) on this #WIP Anyone who’s said that having written one (or more) prior books doesn’t make the next one any easier is 💯% correct! […] [Original post on mindly.social]

I find Trump as repulsive as most people here, but as a German, one thing I want to push back on is focusing on one man. Hitler's rise was possible because he was able to exploit the racial hatred and conspiratorial thinking that already existed. It's MAGA acolytes that see Trump as an […]

Random life update. This w/e I had the honor to accompany one of my teens on piano (they were on solo instrument). I used to perform piano competitively as a teen. I struggled a lot with #perfectionism, couldn’t ever come to terms with it & gave up piano in college to ultimately pursue med […]

What's to stop Musk, who's already tried meddling with German elections, from seizing Zelenskyy's, or any other European leader's X account, and posting something with dire geopolitical consequences? We're way past the point where it's wise for European leaders and institutions to rely on a […]

In 2018, I first pitched my novel THE ALGORITHM WILL SEE YOU NOW to literary agents I’ll always remember this one agent who insisted it couldn’t be a #thriller bc there wasn’t a #crime I explained the crime = corporation covering up a hidden flaw in #AI —> withheld treatments leading to […]

“You might think this is just the op-ed section. It’s not. It’s the beginning. I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this if you didn’t already know. I feel hopeless this morning, and the only thing I can tell myself is that hopelessness is part of the process of getting back to hope. I don’t […]
