I went down an Internet rabbit hole today and if I am correct, it seems that Aer Lingus inaugural fright light from LAX to Dublin, had a flight deck that was entirely female. If that is correct, I’ve never been prouder to be Irish. @aerlingus

I’ve been saying it. A convert is the worst kind of zealot. All of u thinking JD stepping in would b some kind of improvement are NOT paying attention. The only thing preventing Gilead happening w/him is WASPy disdain for Roman Catholicism. Don’t bank on that www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

34 years as an RN. Today has just about broken me. The literal rage by feel at what lack of health insurance has done leaves me with no words.

Folks, there is apparently an ongoing shortage of Xanax. For reasons, I’m not going to explain, I beg of you, ease up. I know there are 1 million reasons why we all want some, but you gotta share.

Delightful 90+ year-old lady just told me today that the secret of a long and happy life is to pick three specific things each day for which to be grateful. They must be specific. This sounds like advice we should all follow.

@davidpogue.bsky.social I lost track of our messages when I left Twitter. Your fan, my daughter is graduating Lehigh with honors in May and headed to University of Edinburgh School of Medicine to get an MSc in Immunology & Infx Disease. And it all started with you and PBS/Nova

Smacks me in the face on a daily basis how the current generation doesn’t stand a chance. Who these days is able to leave pharmacy school, buy their first pharmacy at 26. Expand it to three total locations. And retire at 61 with boat loads of money. It’s just not the same world anymore.

I know there is a lot going on in the news, but in New York, nurses are striking. One of their concerns is safe, staffing limits. As a point of education, be aware that nurses have done studies at academic institutions demonstrating that a 4 to 1 nurse patient ratio is safest On general floors.

In all the crazy of this world, I still want to take a moment to say that autumn twilights are gorgeous. Especially with an almost full moon. The orange leaves take on a very special kind of glow. It’s magical.

My kid just took the MCAT for shits and grins. Literally. Not passionately devoted to the idea of med school but not out of the question. She’s contemplating a dual degree MD/PhD. Zero prep. Zero studying. No gap year. She scored a 500. I think she ought to apply just for the hell of it.

Took the dog out. It’s early Sunday morning in my hometown. As a child I saw sparrows, starlings, pigeons. Today I heard a woodpecker! Now there are hawks, cranes, deer, raccoons, egrets and idk what all else. Don’t tell me environmental protections don’t heal.
