moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 09/04/2026I 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 110
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 27/03/2026actually huge for the AMA that they look good here just for mildly clarifying that the NYT got their position wrong still not joining, our interests are not aligned, stop sending me junk mail 050
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 27/03/2026this is such an insane double-down and you should feel bad about it 080
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 18/03/2026thrilling and nauseating all at once, omg. I wish there were Grisham-style thrillers about this stuff 132
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 13/03/2026got 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 050

moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 12/03/2026I 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 140
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 12/03/2026they crave it. bigots are asking to get their ass kicked in increasingly urgent ways and, as a society, we aren’t meeting their emotional needs 0606
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 06/03/2026yeah… it’s so hard to stay principled and empathetic in public health! we’ll always catch strays for genuinely caring about the people we want to help, even when some of what they choose is maddening. so I like that you’re trying to meet people where they’re at 0150
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 28/02/2026it shouldn’t be surprising that all the fascists are orthorexic but it’s still deeply annoying in real time 010

moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 18/02/2026imagine being a doctor and asking other doctors of childbearing age, who may be incidentally or purposefully pregnant, to view conference travel to states where hospital lawyers can bicker your sepsis to death as merely *symbolic* 050
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 17/02/2026like you say, there’s so much discretion involved in what to write down! and as a former scribe, I feel like the things the software is best at, pulling HPI, are easy for me to do in-visit, and AI sucks at the actual friction of MDM/plan. but I’m a particular curmudgeon 010
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 17/02/2026yeah I am refusing to use our clinic-approved AI ambient dictation note-drafting tool, despite often feeling burned out on notes, because I cannot in good faith tell my psych patients that it’s no big deal if big data software drafts their deepest secrets for me. even in a med check I can’t do it 110
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 14/02/2026I’m walking such a careful line with my attending whose clinical opinion I otherwise respect because she keeps getting excited about AI summary tools, and I keep saying “yeah I like when it cites the note and date so I can double check to make sure the info is true” 090
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 13/02/2026part of growing up is separating a sense of lurid fascination from actual importance. and I say this as someone who loved to follow the disputes and foibles of op-ed writers via gawker/twitter for years before I registered they were my east coast media version of vanderpump rules or whatever 020
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 09/02/2026favorite football comment from my husband this season is that Mike McDonald of the seahawks looks like a ditto (the pokemon) posing as a head football coach. it’s all in the eyes 020

moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 04/02/2026true but sometimes I appreciate even having that rudimentary language because it’s so hard to quickly conceptualize or discuss the blood-chemical-electrical-network organ shrouded in secrecy 😓 010
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 31/01/2026yeah I don’t usually watch lurid documentaries but that was my takeaway from “Keep Sweet Pray and Obey” about FLDS... such a gross, classic example of a power-consolidating club, where young girls are the capital to be traded by members and young boys get indentured or pushed out 060

moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 27/01/2026so I don’t want to deny that—instead I find it disturbing that there’s again a national rift where armed forces can patrol states for undesirable racial groups and ship them without process to other states/regions where the power to oppress them has been further consolidated. insane!!!!!!!!!! 010
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 27/01/2026hmm, I ran into a critique of Fugitive Slave Act comparisons by a historian of slavery, in part because they ignore more recent policing-power dynamics that have been continuous for minorities in the USA instead of historical… 110

moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 26/01/2026ha, my pleasure! I was very into English due to having great teachers, and the “sea change” phrase stuck with me because Sylvia Plath wrote a poem adapting “Full Fathom Five” too 010
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 26/01/2026it’s from Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” where it’s used in a song called “Full Fathom Five” about shipwrecked bones transformed by the ocean into pearl and coral. pure poetry! 3120
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 24/01/2026thank you and it really takes effort because she does flip that madness switch in me where I get riled up thinking “she’s WRONG” and then I remember she’s just some stranger whose opinions I already don’t respect 110
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 24/01/2026I haven’t read the book and I still had to forbid myself from searching for threads titled “emily oster sucks” because the quotes I kept seeing from her were driving me crazy in the same way jesse singal stuff drives me crazy 120

moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 18/01/2026feels very Unique to live in a left-leaning rural area whose politics are dismissed locally and nationally because they don’t confirm priors 0112
moxie @lorazepalooza.bsky.social · 18/01/2026okay well that means I should give it a try!! I needed the fries and cheese curds to stay constant in the dish, maneuvering tater tots under clams was too much 020
