Don't forget those stairs which go up to the ceiling over an apparently bottomless room, yet have no railings. Not safe at all!

And the always amazing Sleater Kinney, with a joint Elastica cover to close the night. A great Monday night in Boston.

Come to find out, my 23 yr old son's friend had a highly downloaded Liz Phair playlist on Spotify called "Liz Phair walked so Phoebe Bridgers could run," which brought it all together. Also loved Frankie Cosmos as the opener...

Saw Liz Phair for the first time last week (finally), and happened to be next to a group of folks who were certainly not born when most of the songs were released, but were sooo excited to see her, and knew all the words to every song, which really struck me.

Somehow convinced my father to take me to see "Quest for Fire." Must have been 10. Don't remember much about the movie but I remember being very aware it was rated R and, of course, cavemen.

It's not appropriate for cis people to say that trans people are too alarmed, or that certain trans writers are irresponsibly causing trans people to think the sky is falling. I want to take some time in this 🧵 to write personally about how my skies have fallen.

I also got a text this afternoon from an unknown # about an opportunity to get in on the Anthropic IPO, so maybe I should throw caution to the wind and do it all!

1) Create an account 2) Consent to the collection of my biometric data 3) Scan my valid photo ID 4) Allow them to take my photo That's aside from ensuring my system meets minimum requirements and all the usual account set up stuff. Um....this will not be happening. #medsky

Got a letter from a company who did an assessment on an unnamed patient of mine (?insurance-contracted), and for the privilege of seeing this assessment and contributing to a "converged patient assessment" all I need to do is................1/

Turns out the implications of the change would be even bigger than I realized and could have huge impacts on medicaid, #FQHC work, nutrition programs, etc. Basically any program which utilizes federal grants could be at risk. Take a look, and if you can, register your opposition. #medsky.

If you, like me, have concerns about the new OMB rules change (giving political appointees huge veto power over federal grants), and have wondered how best to voice your concerns during the comment period, this article is a great explainer and links to the specific regulations.gov page. 1/

Another part is insurance coverage/vaccine programs. At my clinic we can stock and give all standard pedi vaccines but adult vaccines vary. The difference between "We can give this to you right now" and "I advise this but you need to go to the pharmacy to get it" is a huge drop-off in vaccination.

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

Don't know who does the soundtrack at my Stop & Shop, but fun that every shopping trip is like a portal in time to my 1980's suburban CT jr high school/high school. This morning got Howard Jones "Things Can Only Get Better" and Van Halen "I'll Wait," kicking off a Howard Jones day at my house.

Great primer on immigration, health, and advocacy, with resources folks can use to support patients at multiple points along the immigration continuum. #medsky #fmsky

"Strolling Through the Match" is a great resource for students applying in Family Medicine, and also has some great resources for folks going into other specialties (like interview prep, great questions to ask, etc.). It's also free! Worth sharing with new 4th years in your life. #fmsky #medsky

Other fun animal encounters at work: 1) Deer 2) Groundhogs nesting by the path to the hospital 3) Hawk nesting above said same path (leading to a temporary wooden tunnel to defend walkers from protective dive bombings, and maybe why we have no more groundhogs) 4) The ever-spooky crow roost

I've been in practice for 25 years. I've never treated a case of Hib meningitis but the docs who trained me had horror stories about it. It's unimaginable that we would shrug off the benefits of vaccination to return to that time.

And by chance in that show saw locals Rejekts for the 2nd time in 2 weeks, first seeing them open for Snooper and The Spits, and since I didn't post about that excellent show at the time it seemed like a sign to post now.

Great summary of the impacts of policy changes based on falsehoods about immigrants and Medicaid. I would add that these changes will also threaten the viability of the health care safety net in communities with large immigrant populations, which will hurt access for everyone.
