The Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia metro area now has an estimated 2.7 million people! It overtook Orlando for the 22nd most populous in the nation!

We can only expect to climb the ladder on population (and best city views) 😉

@googlenesthelp one of my nest thermostats states it can’t find a Wi-Fi network. I’ve troubleshot every way I can and reset the nest multiple times. Can you help?

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

After a heart attack, “It is not known if he operated on the patient after the electrocardiogram.” Believe it or not the grammar of this sentence needs clarification. The ECG was performed on the surgeon ‘he’ and not ‘the patient.’ #takecareofyourself #yourworkisnotyouridentity

“So, if you're working to convince someone who is skeptical of something you believe strongly in, remember:
1. Set a respectful tone.
2. Show empathy.
3. Keep a balanced view of yourself.”

Brilliant. https://t.co/9afJlhCOrk

Thread👇- I have experienced similar moments with families. These families know intuitively and experientially what has been proven in medicine empirically: We physicians and health care workers have implicit racial biases.

[Esther Choo, MD MPH @choo_ek]

I was taking care of a patient the other day who was very seriously injured. And I stepped out to talk to his family briefly and give them an update. For context, he was Black. I told them what was going on quickly and asked if they had any questions. And this is what they said.

Thank you to sister @AOC for bearing witness to the image of God in every person w/ such clarity that you expose the lies of all those who’ve used our faith as a cover for cupidity.

3 - Stonecatchers - "I decided I was supposed to be here to catch some of the stones people cast at each other." - What a wonderful summary of sacrificial peacemaking and reconciliation. I'll be thinking, "How can I be a Stonecatcher?"

3 key lessons - "Just Mercy" - Bryan Stevenson

2 - Brokenness - "But simply punishing the broken - walking away from them or hiding them from sight - only ensures that they remain broken and we do too. There is no wholeness outside of our reciprocal humanity." - Humility and neighborliness start the path to redemption.
