No matter what happens with my 2025 #RevPit submission, I met my deadline, feel a new sense of excitement about my project, and am so so proud of myself. Sometimes the process is just as important as the outcome. #Worthit

Cooking like a madwoman, trying to gain some sense of control. How’s it going? It’s fine. I’m fine. Everything’s fine.

I have often left my ED shifts crying. It’s a heavy, heavy place. And if it isn’t a specific patient, it’s because the system is so broken. I learned a long time ago that letting it out is far more healthy than trying to hold it in. #MedSky

It would be just one more thing that makes me the question the sanity and ethics of half of the country. I mean ask yourself would you willingly leave your daughter alone in a room with him? It appears there is no bar too low.

Not to bring back a totally 1990s discussion but who opens a restaurant and decides to offer Diet Pepsi? It makes NO sense. Does anyone out there actually prefer Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke? I didn’t think so.

All of this.
Tweet that says if your concern with trans women is that men might claim to self-ID as trans to gain access to women’s spaces and assault them, then your problem is actually with predatory men and not trans women.

This thread is exactly what I’ve been thinking forever. The social contract was decimated during Covid and it needs to be rebuilt. We can’t do our jobs to the best of our ability without it.

My son put the leftover pork in a glass container back in the cupboard where we keep our containers last night. And then today I get a notification that I have to throw away my carrots. What the hell are we going to have for dinner?

“I'm writing a first draft and reminding myself that I'm simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.” This was probably my most viral tweet. I've seen it pop up in a lot of quote aggregators, sometimes attributed to a wonderful but definitely not-me filmmaker.
