If it were a country I'd agree with not giving it up; but it's an owned property, and consent gives it power. This is my last tweet...hope to find the good folks elsewhere (& not on threads)!

[@[email protected] (Jen Overbeck) @DrJenOverbeck]

Popped in cautiously to the-site-that-shall-always-be-known-as-Twitter to see how reasonable ppl are reacting. As always, they adapt, clinging to normal/habitual as long as possible.

@Sakiera_Hudson But thank you for making your comments--it was really important for me. I was swept up in the righteous-indignation response and your tweet reminded me to slow down, be more thoughtful, and not rush to judgment. You made a difference to one person, at least!

I’ve lived in Australia for 9 years and somehow never learned this. So who IS a physician?

[Dr Eric Levi @DrEricLevi]

Dear @DGlaucomflecken,

Some clarification on Aussie terms.

“Physicians” here do not include paediatricians, surgeons, pathologists or GPs (Family Medicine).

You’re not a physician. You’re an ophthal.

“Doctors” is the broader term, not “physicians”

#Selfless, my new book, is now available! It explores how relationships create us and limit our freedom. I hope it expands the way people see themselves and their social world. The book has been a journey for me and now I’m excited to share it with others!

Oh number 3–I’m just glad to know some other sad, lonely soul knows what a comma splice is!

@KarenCutter4 Super interesting and at least somewhat clarifying. But I note that you’re comparing proportions; would looking at absolute #s give additional insight?

@thatroblennon And here is how it is working out so far (the professor at Wharton is me) https://t.co/NtDh8wa548

Do we all agree that the last person to confirm they're in for a group meeting is the one to send the calendar invite? (I'm talking about a peer group without a specific leader or convenor--obviously that person sends the invite no matter when people agree. Right?)

This looks like an amazing postdoc, with amazing people, for those interested in power, status, and gender!

The @ASRC1 is at risk of having to close its doors in 7 weeks without your help

We’ve been sticking to our budget but cost of living pressures means donations are down 45%

We’re surviving off our savings for now as we take no Fed Gov $

I've been waiting for mainstream culture to start paying attention to covid as a vascular virus--this segment is so helpful, and specifically mentions "vascular virus." Gives me hope!

[tern @1goodtern]

This is a brilliant segment by the @Todayshow about the direct connection between catching Covid and the raised risk of a heart attack.
I had to keep pinching myself to check it was real and I wasn't dreaming.
Thank you @NBCNews @ErinNBCNews @DrJohnTorres

@RogertheGS DREAMS!
But it makes sense to be confused, since that's not exactly a rhyming word...

[@[email protected] (Jen Overbeck) @DrJenOverbeck]

A friendly reminder that a bureaucrat with a tiny scope of power can inflict outsized pain when you need something that happens in that tiny scope.

May you go months before next having to encounter that reality for yourself. And may my recent suffering buy me relief for a while!

@sbkaufman Is that Hermosa Beach? Either way, beautiful--and the beach looks nice, too. Happy 80th!!

Would you drink the glass of water on the left? If not, why are you still breathing in dirty air in poorly ventilated indoor spaces? 17/

@KarenCutter4 Thank you for this thread!

[@[email protected] (Jen Overbeck) @DrJenOverbeck]

@KarenCutter4 Please explain this difference! Are there also different definitions of death? Our household always wonders why VIC has so many fewer cases than NSW but so many more deaths.

[@[email protected] (Jen Overbeck) @DrJenOverbeck]

@TakuraChindove @Sakiera_Hudson I am SO delighted to hear this. Thanks for saying so! (I mean, you're reflecting on things that are difficult, but I'm just so glad it had an impact.)
