Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

After four of their children died, the parents told officers they hadn’t taken them to the doctor because of their religion, which considers the use of modern medicine a sinful lapse of faith in God. Under Idaho law, authorities couldn’t step in.

Consistently masking at conventions is unpleasant, uncomfortable, and sometimes chafes my ears. But as I have not added severe illness to this year's carousel of exhaustion, I am glad to continue doing it, and continue to recommend it to my peers.

Tim Curry was one of those actors who clearly relishes acting so much he'd be in and do almost everything that came his way. That's what made him always a welcome presence in any project. The unbridled joy and enthusiasm for his art. I hope we all embrace our passion and curiousity like that.

This is a stim of mine because “country” is just drag. I mean you have all these politicians in Florida wearing cowboy hats and boots for some reason. That whole look is an aesthetic, largely worn by suburbanites, because real work wear is way more functional now with Gore-Tex and Vibram.

A photograph credited to Chris John Photography - featuring a guy dressed as Spider-Man at the top of a fray. Although he’s surrounded by goons in helmets and face masks, he’s reaching back to throw a punch at a white guy in a white tee with sunglasses, while a huge white cross looms teetering behind him. Also: a Black veteran in sand fatigues carries an American flag with difficulty, like he’s trying to raise it at Iwo Jima. I hope he’s not with the goons.

Often you’ll be walking in rural Britain & some ponies will be like “Follow us, we'll lead you to the castle where the wizard lives & life is perfect!” My advice, from experience, is ignore them. Ponies are known liars who will make up any old shit to briefly relieve the vast boredom of their lives.
Two ponies lead me up a fern-flanked path on Dartmoor, while trying to make it seem all exciting and mysterious, when really all there is at the end of it is a branch of Screwfix.
