I think we should let him put his name on anything he wants to. As long as he puts his dear friend Jeffrey Epstein’s name on it too. The Trump-Epstein John F. Kennedy Center for the Arts.

@theduncanmackay.bsky.social I just passed my copy of Echolands to my classics-loving daughter (22YO). Felt momentous.

Women are <5% of interventional cardiologists in the US. It's not a pipeline issue, a systems issue. WECARE shows women love the field but face pay gaps, limited parental support & cultural barriers. Mentorship is critical. Time to redesign the system. www.ajconline.org/ar... #CardioSky
Individual Experiences

Career Entry & Negotiation
"People I looked up to told me this field's not meant for a little white girl like myself."

Motherhood & Institutional Gaps
"You could feel the shift after maternity leave. Suddenly there's this quiet assumption that you're less available, less ambitious."

Resilience & Advocacy
"I'm passionate about it. I knew what I was getting myself into and didn't let others' concerns be obstacles."

Mentorship & Support Systems
"I had phenomenal mentors (...). I ended up doing a CHIP fellowship because of them."

Bias & Representation
"I had clinic staff tell patients that I'm a female doctor that does just diagnostic Cath - no stents."

In January 2028 I’d like the new president’s first act be to tear down the Epstein Ballroom. It’ll be symbolic of the undoing of Trump’s already disastrous second term that will take them the entire 4 years of their presidency.

As a small business owner, I can confirm that every time an immigrant commits a violent crime I deduct 10% from my hourly employees’ wages. But every time one gets deported, my employees get a 3% wage increase.
