We are having the worst flu season in 15+ yrs & staring down an avian flu threat that has already spread unchecked in other mammals and taken American life Our government response is to cancel planning for the next flu shot, cancel funding for bird flu vaccines & treatments, & cut Medicaid coverage

There were some lovely birds in the woods today, like this very busy Pileated Woodpecker. She's checking the sky before going back to searching for food under the bark. #birds 🌿

It’s 40 and rainy. 💧 The creek is rushing. The snow is melting. 24 hours until the next big freeze — but spring is on her way. 🌷

A very cool thing about getting older in medicine: eventually you see a dreaded disease of your early career succumb to science. Once you witness it a few times, nothing will seem impossible to you in the same way ever again. #MedSky #DrugDevelopment

I know this sucks to hear and it's not much more fun to say but aggressively posting more of what you want to see into the void and refusing to accept any other outcome is the way forward, it's like being a microblogging version of an author

I keep needing to remind myself that burnout is an actual physical experience that requires a prolonged period of rest to recover. Sigh. 😬 The “mind over matter” concept keeps sneaking in, but apparently that doesn’t apply here.

If you cancel your 365 subscription entirely (and tell them WHY if you do, in full detail), you can buy an outright copy of excel, word and powerpoint for the equivalent of 1 year's subscription, with zero generative AI slop / pestering anywhere

A super effective strategy for change is making it easy to do the right thing and hard to do the wrong thing. What good things do you want to see more of in the world? How can you make it easier for them to happen? What’s the tiniest first step towards making that a reality?

This is unbelievable—the chaos occurring in our country right now is impossible to put into words. Firing officials working on #H5N1 bird flu ‘by accident’ as it continues to spread isn’t just incompetence, it’s putting lives at stake for politics. We can’t afford this kind of recklessness.

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025: 1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it. www.theframelab.org/how-to-thriv...

Most people don’t understand how quickly this could turn into a catastrophe worse than COVID. We need to be preparing for a pandemic instead of firing public health experts and government scientists.

Another word for "regulation" is... "consumer protection" "environmental protection" "Regulation" means your milk is safe. "Regulation" means toys that harm your babies are removed from the shelves. "Regulation" means chemical companies can't dump waste in your river.

Every "what the fuck dude" you don't say, is encouragement for assholes. Every "ew, why the fuck would you say that" and disgusted expression you hold in, is teaching bigots that their bigotry won't face even the smallest pushback. Teach em a different lesson.

Figure out what organizing means to you and do it. If you’re not sure how to think about that question, here’s a book to start with, not because it has all the answers but because it will help you think about your answers: www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1922-l...

Unfortunately, this is the last 70+ years of conservative politics if we count white flight from public schools after the Brown v. Board of Education decision. It was the essence of Reaganism in the 1980s as well

I love vaccines! 😍 I was just reading through my old pediatric records - learned that I was exposed to HIB meningitis in preschool and needed rifampin prophylaxis. Haemophilus was common then and used to kill lots of kids. Not anymore! Thanks, vaccines. 🙏🏻
