I like a “you free for a call?” text — I’ll get panicky when the phone rings unexpectedly. But I do lots of calls — and if something is off/wrong with normal communication pattern, I will just call

I never thought I would read "Masks are proven to protect against the transmission of Covid-19 and other airborne viruses" in The New York Times but there it is. Thank you Violet Affleck. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/10/s...

Susan and Fiona can pound sand. They have to cling to CDC lies in order to justify the risk they pose to themselves and to everyone in their lives. They are worthless

That’s the county where I went to high school and I am livid. Something like 100 students wanted that class and some racist mashed potato who isn’t even an educator is like “these messages aren’t positive 🥲”

Man, all they had to do to make AP African American Studies classes focus less on racism was make the last 400 years go a little better.

Violet Affleck's public comment on masks and Long COVID is all over the news. THIS is how you leverage your privilege! Imagine if other celebs did the same.

That election is 100 percent widely understood to have been, as you say, a complete screwjob. But some people love to sneer at Stacey Abrams any chance they get. Her hard work against voter suppression is an inspiration

"Colson Whitehead’s The Intuitionist and William Gibson’s Pattern Recognition ... feature protagonists who sport super- sensitive intuitions that they have professionalized: they make a living off of their intuition.

Work half as hard and accomplish half as much as Stacey Abrams has with her life and I will entertain the bad takes (ok I’m lying)

I have not read that Gibson. I think that’s one I should read in paper versus audio — on my list! Will also find Cruel Optimism 🙏🏻📚

Her memoir is valuable and available at the library. Stacey Abrams has worked so hard in her life and brought about meaningful changes in her community — and inspired people all over the world. But ok Dave, she didn’t win. I’m sure there’s no context to her election loss (OH WAIT)

I don't normally ask for help here, but dude's sending stuff to my place of work, so please do report and block them. Those of you that have done so, thank you very much. Could this get a little extra oxygen from accounts I interact with? Thanks!

I was sobbing in agony last week with a clear serious injury — the MD snapped at me when I suggested ibuprofen might not be enough. And I racked my brain at what possibly could’ve been in my chart to make them feel entitled to treat me this way
