Gen-X knows 🤣

Oh, and I did a thing. I started a Substack. open.substack.com/pub/patricia...

I have been off the social media channels for a good bit. My silence does not mean I am complicit in what is happening. It was just because I have been working to recover. Heck of a world to come back to from a TBI…

Ooooh well played.

“If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn’t matter if the room has been dark for a day, or a week, or ten thousand years—we turn on the light and it is illuminated” -Sharon Salzberg

I’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities. Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice. The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.

DEI doesn’t mean hiring unqualified people—it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.

Why would anybody try to remove measures that protect workers from completely preventable severe lung disease? Wrong answers only. www.lpm.org/news/2025-01...

Thank you for speaking truth to power through love, Rev Mariann Edgar Budde. The kind, just people of this world see you and appreciate you.

Important webinar‼️ This maybe the hardest moment in the history of the American Thoracic Society, all other medical society. This administration seems to hold positions against everything we are committed to. Kudos @atscommunity.bsky.social @irinapetrache.bsky.social for organizing.

Hi. Are you doomscrolling? A lot of news happened today, and the wildfire in Los Angeles is significant in scope and damage. It's understandable if you're worried. But staring at your phone for hours won't make you feel better. You still deserve time to rest and recover. Try not to stay up too late.

Love this poster! #medsky

I had such a blast running the #ColderBoulder 5K with my dad this morning. We ran a good, steady race today and the weather and course were great. Proud to run in the colors for @teamphhope.bsky.social (My dad is wearing our original t-shirt!) #LetMeBeYourLungs

Also super proud of our Denver representation at PHenomenal Hope 2024 in Boston! Proud of Darlene Kim, Jordin Rice, and Sue Gu! Go “Team 5280!” #MedSky @teamphhope.bsky.social

Huge congratulations to our Team PHenomenal Hope members who made a successful year 2 for our #PHenomenalHope2024 Medical Symposium. There was so much work behind the scenes to make this happen. Thank you to all who participated in this meeting to make it GREAT. Huge kudos to @leslieoh.bsky.social

Okay so @nejm.org has entered the BlueSky!!!! #MedSky is growing so fast now!

“I believe in believe.” Over the past few weeks I started rewatching #TedLasso. For many of us, its beauty and humor and poignant episodes helped get us through a really challenging time during the pandemic. And now as much as ever, its messages of love & acceptance I think resonate just as well.

A story about how health care should be: When I was a third year resident (2000) @ Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii, I admitted the same child twice over the course of a month for angioedema of the face & throat. 1/n

Sometimes developing discipline is simply deciding Future You is someone worth taking care of.

Just finished watching season 1 of Ted Lasso. It’s so good the 2nd time around. #Believe

Since we began in 2020, this #HCWvsHunger community, this #HCWvsHunger FAMILY, has raised almost $3 MILLION DOLLARS to feed those in need. We have about six hours left & if you need me I’ll be sobbing in my bed.

Way to go, Broncos - We enjoyed this game tonight! You deserve the bye week after this #MondayNightFootball game. (Jerry Jeudy had a great game BTW. Happy to see him doing well though I wish he were still wearing orange and blue.) 🧡💙🏈🐴 🧡💙 I love our #LifeAt5280 @denver-broncos.bsky.social

I found Doomscrolling Reminder Lady on BlueSky and that made me smile. She is a good one to follow! And I will remember to drink water today.
