Having to write these bios gives me a sense of existential dread. In other news, some people on other platforms think I occasionally have interesting things to say. #medsky twitter @arghavan_salles IG @arghavansallesmd Tik Tok @arghavansallesmdphd

Headstands are fine! I’m still working on handstands, too, but I haven’t been making a lot of progress there so haven’t been posting videos of that. I’ve been going upside down pretty regularly for over 20 years!

Center of gravity is definitely changing! Getting upside down is a bit different every time I try 🤣

Made some progress on the first shape, but the split is still wonky. Still 25 weeks! #pd

This is a much funnier bit about gym attire btw

Thank you for that! I like that framing of one drop at a time

I was surprised by the laughter too—it was more than I expected

Agreed! It was all terrible, including the parts where he made fun of himself.

Calling women whores because they wear gym clothes to the gym isn’t pushing boundaries or dark/edgy humor, no matter how many bros in my comments insist otherwise.

No joke, there is a guy in my comments saying Shane Gillis is an ally. No. This is what an ally looks like. The guy calling women whores for wearing gym clothes is not an ally—he’s a misogynist, and it’s very sad I have to explain this.

I hadn’t seen that one. There’s clearly a massive disinformation campaign designed to decrease turnout. Terrible.

Agreed, it’s hard to tell. And they don’t have the supposed Tik Tok user’s name in the photos so I can’t easily find a source. Couple hundred thousand views 🤷🏻‍♀️

No, I saw it on Twitter and this person saw it on Tik Tok, apparently

Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavansallesmd.medsky.social · 11/10/2026
This is the post I saw—undisclosed location, apparently. Replies are people either saying it’s AI or saying not to trust the post office 🤦🏻‍♀️
Screenshot of a Twitter post that says 

Suzie rizzio & @Suzierizzo1

“A TikTok user posted two photos of a box of ballots dumped in the street. She didn't disclose the State in her post,but she did contact the Postmaster inspectors. This is why my parent's postman said to be careful with your ballots this election.”

There are two photos of what looks like a bunch of mail dumped in the street

Lemme go back and look—I don’t know exactly where it was but I just saw someone posting about it last night. I’ll find it and get back to you!

I still have people over, but each time requires about 2.5 days of my life for the planning, grocery shopping, prep, cooking, and cleaning before and after. Part of that is based on hosting expectations in my culture, but it’s quite a commitment, and I just don’t always have the time/energy.

Repeat after me: Yes on 40, no on 41 and 42, which are designed to cancel out 40!

Did you see the photos of ballots in the streets? They were supposedly proof people aren’t receiving their ballots in the mail but it’s so hard to tell whether they were real photos.

Our main topics for this week’s episode (#54!) are the death of a worker at the Anti-Plague Institute in Siberia (and whether we need to worry about the plague) and the attempted execution of Christa Pike. We also discuss the death penalty more broadly (we hate it). Available wherever you listen!

Oh it’s so fun!!! You start with things that are very accessible! There are no strength or mobility prerequisites. I’d encourage you to check out an intro class!

Haahhahahaah we are renovating the garage to make room for baby in the house. Usually there aren’t random cement bags and ladders in there 🤣

It really is. I’ve been running two research studies on medical gaslighting the last few years, but I haven’t been able to get funding so it’s been slow going. I’d like to be able to publish something as a wake up call to the medical community

I don’t really have maternity clothes but I have lots of leggings and loose pants lol. I think it will soon be a struggle tho.

Megyn Kelly criticized Jane Doe at Cornell for taking three weeks to come forward. But Megyn herself took 11 years to come forward about the sexual harassment she experienced. There’s a stark contrast between the grace she seems to think she is owed and how she is treating Jane Doe.

Listen to this—as Jane Doe tries to figure out what happened that night at Chi Phi, Winston Lee and Matthew Ingalls both attempt to gaslight her by saying they don’t know how so many men ended up in that room EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ALL IN THE GC where Ingalls told his bros to come “whip it out”
