Book buying, scuba diving, urologist, who is a sucker for puns, cute animal pictures and new recipes. If we could all stop calling it junk and go back to calling it jewels, my job would be easier (but probably less interesting). #urology

My painting TOWERING STORM

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Who doesn’t love a beautiful library? This is one of my favourites: The Old Library of Trinity College. #Libraries #Dublin #TrinityCollege

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

This week’s top story is one you haven’t seen reported yet: U.S. ‘whistleblower’ site targets Canadian doctors providing gender-affirming care

I’ve given up trying to say something profound about the passing of #PopeFrancis. Many others have already articulated my complicated thoughts much better. So here’s a picture of when I visited the #Vatican 6 yrs ago.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Way to go Canada 🇨🇦👏🏽👏🏽 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Not sure how these people sleep at night

I’m stupider for having read this. Glad I didn’t have to watch a video.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

If they can illegally send anyone to an El Salvador prison illegally and not bring them back, they can illegally send you to an El Salvador prison and not bring you back. How can anyone defend this?

Not a single Bond villain ever thought to destroy the world using import tariffs.

#AUA25 is later this month in Vegas. It is the world’s largest #urology conference. Until now. If you are a urologist outside of the USA, will you be attending?

Tomorrow pharmaceutical drugs are no longer exempt from U.S. imposed tariffs. Did you know the U.S. imports 400 different ready-for-use medications from Canada, 28 of which have no alternative supplier? cidrap.umn.edu/resilient-drug… @CIDRAP by StephanieSoucheray paper by @mina_t

Trans rights are human rights. No exceptions.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

I legit laugh-cried

Conrad Black: Mark Carney has poor values - National Post Black’s criticism and lack of endorsement is all I need to know that we’re on the right path wit Carney.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.” She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

My friend Henry (who was also my student) & I decided to create some joy in –20°C weather in the Yukon and share it with you all. He is in grade 5 now. We are sending joy, hope, and positivity. (Share such messages to train your algorithm to bring positive and human-centric stories to your feed)

#TimelineCleanse Ok trying to feel more cheerful today, and forget that it’s snowing AGAIN so here’s Ngardmau waterfalls in #Palau. It’s broader than it looks here, and about 30 m high.
