President Biden's announcement today about student loan debt relief has upset some people who believe it's unfair. I acknowledge that resentment, and also, while we're on the subject of unfairness, I have some thoughts for your consideration. (thread)

There's a researcher in Colorado who has a new study coming out that shows an estimated 50,000 ectopic pregnancies end up in hospitals EACH YEAR.
That's 50K abortions that need to be performed.
Don't tell me "we caaaaan't." Don't tell me it's too hard.
I don't accept that.

I’m on call this weekend. Anyone else out there noticing an uptick in severe nausea/vomiting/diarrhea cases, or is it just me?
Feels like something unusual going on.

The best-selling sci-fi novelist Neal Stephenson's books have long dealt in apocalyptic events and malevolent uses of new technology. But his renderings of the future also include solutions to the problems of living in a radically changed world. nyti.ms/3FkxYXu

We’re heartbroken. We’re overwhelmed. The situation is critical. Please get vaccinated, wear a mask, wash your hands and get tested for COVID if you feel sick.

2/ My friend of 25 years opened his lecture on End-of-Life with, “I have a disclosure of sorts. I’ve been diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, aka Lou Gehrig’s disease), so this will probably be the last time I lecture at this meeting.”
Then he asked us to PAUSE.

I’ve debated all day whether to post this, but the world deserves to know that 9 years ago to this day my first child, Julian, was stillborn. While @k_scottbell and I knew him through his kicks and tumbles, he was born at full term and never took a breath. We don’t know why.
