Dear new intern who just broke death news to a pt’s family member, It is okay to cry. Do not feel like everyone else is just moving on with their day. Everyone deals with this grief differently, and no, it does not get easier. Being you, a human, makes you a better doctor. (1/2)

Got a call for a survey from the Heritage Foundation. They asked what the most important issue is to me in this election, from three prejudiced options. I said the most important thing was to get the Heritage Foundation out of American politics. They told me to have a nice day.😆

You work out to build muscle or feel good about yourself. I work out so I can look half as good as Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in a black t-shirt. We are not the same.

Happy Weird Racist Obsession With a 15th Century Explorer Who Sucked at Accuracy and, Under the Whitewashed History, Was So Unnecessarily Cruel His Monarchs Disowned Him Day to those who celebrate! Happy Indigenous Peoples Day to everyone else!

Health grifters (degree or not) who yell in grocery stores or lecture restaurant servers or lecture scouts selling cookies at a booth are the same energy as performative evangelicals who start preaching at unwilling captive audiences in airports and trains.

The false dichotomy trying to separate “social issues” from the #economy is a major part of why we are in this position today. #Progressive #SocialIssues

I made this video a few days too early, but today’s the day. #GoBills, much love to our Canadian brethren, and remember to vote against Donald Trump/MAGA’s nationalist propaganda in November.

#GoBills and down with nationalistic controversy. We are not the president, we’re not anti-Canada. We are #Buffalo.

In a time when it’s hard to convince voters that both parties are not, in fact, the same, Democrats relying on transphobic humor to appeal to…whomever? Is the opposite of winning strategy. #GinaHinojosa #Texas #Governor #GregAbbott

We wouldn’t be so inclined to immediately point out how shitty AI slop is if every AI defender wasn’t out here like “look, I spent 20 whole minutes typing prompts and my slop generator made something better than the original work it stole from!” and then showing us utter trash.

No one asked you to suddenly hate HP. Put trans lives over nostalgia. Don’t put money in a transphobe’s pockets. Don’t: 1. Stream the new show 2. See the movies streaming/in theaters 3. Play the video game 4. Buy new books/merch. Do sail the high seas or use your public library.

Is there a syndication for audiobooks? I wanna get into Dungeon Crawler Carl and I’m honestly not above paying for it on Audible, but I’ve been fairly successfully reducing my Amazon usage so if there’s gonna come a moment soon where DCC is no longer Audible-exclusive… 👀

Two unvaccinated people died of measles in PA. A disease that would be gone if it weren’t for anti-vaxxers lying. Elsewhere, Dolly Parton is dead at 80 and anti-vax trolls try to claim (without evidence) it was the COVID vaccine. May Dolly RIP. Anti-vaxxers, don’t piss me off.
