Empress 🖤 @demoncouncil.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Feeling a little better after a lot of alcohol, a moderate amount of time in the sun, and many therapeutic chats with my unmatched besties. This will pass… it’ll pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass 😔 1100
Empress 🖤 @demoncouncil.bsky.social · 20/03/2025I wish I had just gone through with my original plan of research year instead of entering the SOAP because the result is the same, but now I have never felt so fucking bad about myself in my life 🙂 290

Empress 🖤 @demoncouncil.bsky.social · 05/02/2025One of my proudest moments in medical school was when I stood up for my undocumented patient and got them the care they needed in spite of my bigoted asshole attending. I will never forget it and I’ll never forgive the fact that I had to. 080
