Tried my best. Sorry I couldn’t pull it through everyone - we live to fight another day. ♥️

Them: “if I get vaccinated, I might become autistic or transgender” Me, autistic + non-binary: “only if you’re really, really lucky” —Jokes aside: #Vaccines Do Not Cause #autism. Autism is NOT a disease. Neither is being #transgender. You know what IS a disease? #Polio. Which is why we vaccinate.🧪🗃️

I don’t see how an accusation of rape damages the reputation of a man who proudly claimed he grabs women “by the pussy” whenever he wants. Rather, it’s entirely consistent with what he says about himself and the attitude he projects.

We cannot keep failing the most vulnerable among us. It is disgusting that our nation, with its wealth and smug sense of superiority just falls down on promoting the general welfare and securing the blessings of Liberty for ALL. Change what you can, where you can.

This version of the New York Times cover would have been way more accurate.

Today in court a litigant in a case before mine broke down crying because they'd spent $67,000 on attorneys and the case still wasn't over, they were denied appointed counsel, and had to represent themselves, and as much as we talk about universal healthcare we also need universal right to counsel.

Celebrating the inclusive future of #surgery and grateful for the Southern Surgical Assn’s supporting the LDP scholars and their mentors. Interesting to see legends from the past looking down on us from the guilded ceiling…hopefully applauding change. #MedSky #SurgSky #AcademicSky

I don't usually post much about this stuff, but it was a major thing that I got through. I just had my last chemo infusion for cancer treatment today. It was 18 months of chemo. So it's a good feeling. Mind you, I'll feel like crap this coming week, but then it'll get better.

When she’s right she’s right

the thing with UnitedHealth is that you have to go pretty damn far up the financial hierarchy of this country before you find someone who has not been screwed by health insurance or had a close friend or family member who was

CW: extreme violence people used to gather in huge crowds to view and participate in lynchings, often festival like fanfare. photographs were used as postcards. people were often tortured to death, body parts sold in stores as memorabilia - sometimes in stores. just so we're on the same page
