@EFHutton123 @AniseNot Both my cats (who actually both liked the vet quite a bit) went at home. The first asked to go outside about an hour before the vet was coming, laid on the patio in a rare warmer February day in Chicago. And asked to go in just as the vet was pulling up. He knew. He was ready.

@AniseNot They both went at home with a hospice vet. The vet still sends me cards every once in a while remembering them. If you’re in the Chicago area A Gentle Goodbye was incredible.

@AniseNot I’m coming up on 1 and 2 year anniversaries of my cats. I decided long ago I would rather let them go a day too early than a second too late. I saw so much pain when I was a vet tech. The vet I worked with said this is a kindness we get to give animals. I think about that a lot.

@acbontempo https://t.co/6kJYmeXreS I think Bethany Bray’s work will help you!

@doggtism @EphemeralEther My older two don’t care much about the outside but the new kittens love it so he gets supervised time. He’s leash and car trained along with working on other obedience training. Cats can be trained like dogs and it’s really good for them!

@Komaniecki_R My husband asked for my location so he could be outside to unload groceries for me. I have a lot of triggers around being controlled and the fact that I was fine with this showed me how safe our relationship feels. Otherwise I have a knee jerk reaction to anyone asking where I am

@dirtfan1999 @um_noooo @brokebackstan All people, including cis women, need urologists.

@RGibsongirl The area I grew up in was heavily Catholic and not particularly religious so I honestly didn't have much interaction with evangelicals until undergrad. It was VERY strange especially seeing all the media like veggie tales and hearing stories about youth groups etc.

Click-to-Cancel is one of those things that sounds minor but is at the heart of many of the frustrations of American life. Corporations were taking our money, we didn't want them to, and we couldn't stop them. Now we can.

[Kelly O'Shea, PhD MPH @KellyOSheaMPH]

I never felt closer to my fellow Chicagoans than when a bunch of drunk, obnoxious Cubs fans got on the train at 5pm. We all made silent eye contact as they got off the train at the wrong stop after declaring "everyone on this train must be so annoyed with us bro!! CUBBIEESSSSS."

[Alan Fisher @alanthefisher]

Its honestly sad that most Americans will never experience the fun of their home team winning a game and riding the train back home with fans (or to an afterparty).

Instead they have to drunkenly navigate their way home in a car, alone, stuck in traffic.

@ericgrau Do I need to send you that hot dog one again?

[Kelly O'Shea, PhD MPH @KellyOSheaMPH]

@erinrjohnson3 @whyyasss @colleen__may 🤣 am I wrong, though?

[Kelly O'Shea, PhD MPH @KellyOSheaMPH]

@whyyasss @erinrjohnson3 @colleen__may Starting to remind me of engineers

[Kelly O'Shea, PhD MPH @KellyOSheaMPH]

@erinrjohnson3 @colleen__may I had one of my biggest reddit arguments about this. Resident claiming they had as much understanding of research as a PhD bc it was required for them to do some research proj as part of med school. Refused to consider that doing 1 project was not the same as 5+ years of exp

@north0fnorth Went to high school in Wilmette, spent almost 10 years in Rogers Park, back in Wilmette now. No notes. Perfect.

i grew up in this area if you can’t tell

[Kelly O'Shea, PhD MPH @KellyOSheaMPH]

I spent almost all day, everyday writing surveys and dealing with data collection. This is my area. For my consultation fee I will set this up for you but I will absolutely not be spending hours or money on this. I'm sorry.

[Kelly O'Shea, PhD MPH @KellyOSheaMPH]

My friend is getting assessed for ADHD (which I also have). Her doctor sent me 3 PDFs of assessments for me to fill out as an outside perspective. They have between 30 and 75 questions. The pdf is not fillable. Literally no thought about participant burden.

[Kelly O'Shea, PhD MPH @KellyOSheaMPH]

If they're salty about it I may be petty and include some literature about participant burden and some links to redcap or qualtrics for data collection.
