I unironically think that the VA hospital information infrastructure is relatively secure because it’s so dependent on jaded employees answering five total emails 9:30am-3pm with forty attached forms that getting access in the normal way takes 6 months

got a lot of likes on a bluesky reply where I talked a big game about beating up bigots—FYI, last week I burst into tears because I read that another pregnant woman in India has gestational diabetes so she can’t eat fresh mango in mango season. fully cried for her mangolessness

I really need to locate an old quote/passage that stuck with me (Arendt?) where a writer was talking to a guy who started confidently pointing out how Jews were running everything, and the writer felt so clearly that antisemitism was a form of intellectual practice for very stupid people

William York Macgregor is remembered as one of the leading figures of the Glasgow Boys and co-founder of 'The Glasgow School' with his schoolfriend, the artist James Paterson. 'The Vegetable Stall,' (1884) is considered to be Macgregor's masterpiece.

I do encourage other people, especially anyone in medicine, to call their senators (mine must be sick of me) because I did tell both that I would rather move out of the United States than be a psychiatrist who could be accused of felony fraud for “enabling” the social transition of a 17 year old

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

“You are an abolitionist, ain’t you?”
“As to that, I cannot so readily answer. If by abolitionist you mean a zealot, I am none; but if you mean a man, who, being a man, feels for all men, slaves included, and by any lawful act, opposed to nobody’s interest, and therefore, rousing nobody’s enmity, would willingly abolish suffering (supposing it, in its degree, to exist) from among mankind, irrespective of color, then am I what you say.”
“Picked and prudent sentiments. You are the moderate man, the invaluable understrapper of the wicked man. You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right.”

can’t help but think of politics through the lens of my recent time in “geriatric psychiatry” so that it seems like many aging politicians or voters are trying to make the economy into a memory unit where cheerful 1950s music is playing and the tvs show Andy Griffith 24/7
