This is incredible! Hundreds of people gathered in South Lake Tahoe to thank and say goodbye to all the firefighters who helped save their city! This happened as many firefighters were leaving town to go home after the #CaldorFire so they were very surprised ❤️

My friends/family on the East Coast are battling floods while my neighbors are seeing their homes/communities turn to ash. Maybe we can stop sending billionaires to space, and invent something like this instead. One can hope. 💗💗 #CaldorFire (@MarkFiore)

This is my brother, Glen. He's a veteran USFS firefighter working the #CaldorFire in California. His truck—and his crew—are damaged, but they're somehow still hanging on. 📸: Max Whittaker, NYT

"Herein lies the spiritual dimension of #cannabis: She enables one to focus on the immediate moment, letting one transcend the normal restricted patterns of perception to truly see/hear/sense without the normal everyday filters that confine our awareness." ganjier.com/2021/06/01/explo…
THREAD: Today marks the release of a new documentary that I hope will find a wide audience. There is a growing awareness around the nature/prevalence of trauma that I'm proud to help encourage. The filmmakers have done a terrific job of distilling this. thewisdomoftrauma.com/

Shame is everywhere in #healthcare, but so taboo that we never talk about it. Now is time to change that. @TheNocturnists & @Shame_Medicine are creating an audio #storytelling series exploring Shame in Medicine. Add your voice here: bit.ly/3kpCz1T 🌲🌲🌲 #MedTwitter
