Say it with me: Adoption. Is not. A substitute. For abortion. The state should not be allowed to prey on anyone’s desire for a child by surveilling and profiling pregnant people.

It’s not just the glossed over safety concerns about compounded drugs that’s the problem here. It’s also the suggestion that being fat is a disease and that Hims/Hers is somehow subverting the weight loss industry by offering us something different.

Medicaid coverage is always the floor, not the ceiling - but it would make a huge difference for abortion access in PA. (You know, as long as Medicaid continues to exist…) And then let’s get rid of PACA, a set of draconian anti-abortion restrictions still on the books in PA, next!

I’m sorry, no. I don’t think a chatbot is the answer to practicing “our most human skills” and it’s infuriating that allegedly reputable medical journals and professional orgs keep pushing it down our throats.

Trumpers: they don’t like him because he’s loud and says obnoxious things Me: No, I don’t like him because he’s a bad person who will get people hurt and killed.

This is the important part! If you submit your application for a gender marker change, you will not receive your passport or your supporting documents back.

Last chance to register for the live workshop! We're going to break down how to analyze weight-science research, including and especially the research driven by the weight loss industry. There's a sliding scale so money isn't a barrier and recordings if you can't make it live. marcird.com/workshop

This is wild. VT DCF is allegedly tracking “unfit” parents (based on alleged history of mental illness in this case) and colluding with hospital staff (!!!) to take custody of a fetus — all without the pregnant’s person knowledge and based on totally subjective criteria. #medsky #fmsky #obgynsky

is it "cancel culture" when you get fired from your state job because anti-abortion politicians don't like your side hustle not providing abortions at a not-abortion-provider

Solidarity with the 5,000+ healthcare workers (nurses AND docs!) striking in Oregon — for, among other things, safe staffing ratios to care for their patients and the salary/benefits they deserve to take care of themselves. #medsky #ProvStrike2025

This feels like it should be obvious but also I can’t stop thinking about it - getting rid of tuition at elite, competitive, already mostly white medical schools leads to… free med school for those same mostly white, economically privileged applicants. 1/ #medsky #meded

The GOP has released its list of 12 priority bills. Among them is a “protection” for infants “born alive” after abortion. It’s important to understand that what these laws (which exist in multiple states already) actually do is prohibit palliative care for very sick and dying newborns.

Why is it that all of the best HBO shows were cancelled after 2 seasons? The Knick, Togetherness, Somebody Somewhere… Having HBO Max is essentially an exercise in starting a show, loving it, and having the storyline abruptly stop. 😡
