I'm just as grumpy as my teens about back to school because what do you mean we have to be at a place at 8 am.

I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s INSANE that we are simultaneously hosting the World Cup and bombing one of the nations playing in said World Cup.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

Patient- You don't look like a doctor. Me- Oh, I'm sorry. I can go to our white coat closet and put on a coat if that would help? Or are you looking for something else? Patient- No, I mean, I believe you're a doctor. You just don't look like one. Me- Okay, I'll let my parents know they got it wrong.

I'm debating not letting this gift get opened. It's just so pretty like this.

I cleaned out the bookcase in my bedroom which still had a lot of books and packets from medical rotations. I left these on my husband's nightstand because I was thinking about giving them to my mom for my 95y/o grandpa. But I forgot to tell him and he got *really* nervous when he saw them.
Two pamphlets on a bedside stand titled "When death is near" and "Your right to make healthcare decisions"

I haven't really decorated for Christmas except a tree in ages. This year I decided to surprise the kids by decorating their rooms. They LOVE it! The hardest part was 3 days of tidying and cleaning before I could decorate effectively.

Picture books > graphic novels > novels is the best way to get kids reading longer books. I don't understand why some parents discourage graphic novels. They help kids learn to follow a narrative even when they can't read all the words. And then they easily step up to picture-free narratives.

IDK what style of parenting it falls under, but I've taken to just letting my kids make up their own punishment. Like, "Awww, you know that was a really bad choice. What do you think is a good consequence?" And they'll be like, "No videogames tonight" and I go with it. It's worked quite well.

There's 2 kinds of parents. Those who pick the names of their future children while they are still children themselves and those who name their baby after the hospital barista because he/she was really nice and made the best latte ever and they can't go home until they pick a name.

I've been playing WindWaker with my kids on Nintendo Online. They complain BITTERLY when I sail across the sea with calming beautiful music. But now that we have the cabana it's all "Moooooom, can you do all 16 slide puzzles again?" Because somehow that's not boring like sailing. 🙄😑

Had a patient today with anemia at the transfusion threshold. Her family was refusing blood from anyone COVID vaccinated. So we got them in touch with a company that will facilitate the family donating directly for $500. Which they don't want to pay. 🙄😠🤬 Frustrating because it's grandma who suffers.

It’s such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, “this might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!” and “Jesus might be retuning soon!” instead of “look at how much people are suffering!” and “how can we stop this injustice?”

I was in the study on COVID vaccines while pregnant with my 4th child. They sent me the completed study report showing it is effective and safe. We had the same complications as my other 3 pregnancies and that child is now 4y/o and thriving. A perfect little boy in every way.

I started coming to this camp as a counselor in 2005 and started overseeing their medical care in 2017. My kids have grown up spending at least 2-3 weeks every summer here. It's the first day with campers this year and I'm just loving the view of my kids running feral with a rainbow behind.
A camp in the mountains. There is a large playground, climbing tower, and patch of trees in front of a distant mountain range. Several white clouds above with blue sky peeking through and a rainbow touching down. Three kids running in front of the playground can be seen.

My favorite part of the night shift tonight is this sign saying the room is for day use only and the door is locked at night next to the very much open door.
Two signs on a window looking into a dark room saying "Reflection Room" and "This waiting room is for visitors and families for day use only. No overnight guests allowed. Room is locked at night." Next to a wide open door I to the room at night.

A Woobles ad sucked me in back in November and I started learning to crochet. Which has now culminated in staying up all night to finish these end of year teacher gifts. The hardest part was getting my kids to tell me their teachers' favorite animals & colors. And the teachers LOVED them!! 🦄🦒🐸🦓

Several weeks ago I thought, "I have nothing to do the Sunday before Spring Break week" and so I agreed to play an indoor soccer game. Then forgot about that and signed up for a cooking class. Then forgot again and signed up for an outdoor soccer game. So now this is my busiest day of break.

I'm on a rare swing shift instead of my usual night shift. And I just turned the wrong way off an elevator at a hospital I know very well because I didn't recognize the hallway with the lights turned on. Nocturnist problems. 🫠

Today I took a cooking class I booked a while back at a local bakery, read the rest of a book from the library, put away the farm-to-fork local produce we get delivered on Fridays, and now will hang out at home with the kids for the night. A perfect day. And I didn't spend any money.

I was raised deeply entrenched in Christian values and always worried when the time came, if I would be easily fooled by false prophets. But it turns out they came to tell me I'm better than everyone else and all I had to do was not believe them.

A random person in the ED came up and asked to borrow a pen and I said I didn't have one. THEN I walk into my patient's room and it's their family member so I had to stuff my pen down in my pocket really fast and couldn't take any notes. 😭
