My grandparents survived the terrible abuse of the Federal Indian Boarding School Era. That trauma wasn't isolated to the past—it was carried down through my family all the way to me. And there are so many families like my own across Indian Country.

There have now been five deaths in the measles outbreak in Pennsylvania. There have now been 3,926 deaths in the Ebola outbreak in Congo. And what these deaths teach us about outbreaks is that it’s about who does the counting, and it’s about how people decide who counts.

Jane Doe, you are remarkably brave. I wish you didn’t have to be. “I am Jane Doe.” Do not let them doxx Jane Doe. If you see their name, you did not. Do not punish the victim. I stand with survivors. You will not take away their power. We believe you.

After he returned from the grocery store he grumbled that he does not know which is worse: when the produce is possibly contaminated, or when the produce is too damn expensive; and so I told him that neither is a sign of a healthy society.

One of the most harrowing things about academia, when you're a grad student, is how vulnerable you are to how you're perceived by more senior researchers. Your career advancement depends on confidential letters of reference & private discussions amongst faculty. You have no information or control.

1/ Although levels are still low nationally, flu metrics are ticking up, including emergency department visits. This is especially true in the West. That’s unusual because: 1️⃣ It's early (usually starts in Oct or Nov) 2️⃣ Flu typically starts in the Southeast before spreading across the country

I was told we should be preparing as we would 
for an approaching storm: 
systems will fail, help will be unavailable, prices will rise; 
and while “prepare” is fine advice 
it feels like this isn’t 
“an approaching storm,” 
but just the world 
we’ve been living in.

Getting more than a little sick and tired hearing an endless succession of politicians promising 'hope'. No, I've had hope in the past. I would rather like to see some results now. 'Hope' is just not tangible enough.

The rest of the country will never understand the enduring spirit of Philadelphia
A handwritten note on a rectangular piece of purple paper features text written in green marker.

The note reads "SAVE THE MUSEUM" at the top in thin, capital letters. Below this, a green line separates the text from the bottom phrase, "GO BIRDS," which is written in larger, thicker, and slightly blockier capital letters. The paper is attached to a surface next to other colorful papers, including a hint of green patterned paper on the right and a light blue sticky note on the bottom left.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

1/ People are fed up with the U.S. healthcare system. Costs are high, people delay care because they can’t afford it, and clinicians are dealing with major administrative burdens. So as Medicare for All comes back into political conversations, what would it actually change if it were implemented?
