The nicest thing someone said to me at work yesterday was a patient saying:
“Actually never mind, I’ll keep taking the medication. I trust you more than the tradwife on Tiktok”
Small wins.
The influencer telling you to distrust your doctor has no liability if they are wrong.
Your physician does.
That asymmetry matters. It should factor into who you listen to.
@valdombre Is he referring to all the Ukrainian folks who moved to Canada in the past few years? He doesn’t want them to hold any anti Russian sentiments ?
Leen Hijaz, valedictorian at her high school in North Carolina, said the following in her graduation speech:
"Before I leave the stage, I have one last thing to say. Every single person here has a voice; we have the privilege to use it when millions around the world are struggling and suffering to be heard. Whether it’s the millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan and so many other countries around the world, or families being torn apart by ICE. These are not just an issue here; they are happening there, they’re happening right here as I speak. My point is, we’re not given a voice to stay silent."
Corey Robin, a political theorist at Brooklyn College, writes: "The mere mention of Palestine—maybe ICE, too—sent the high school principal, Melissa Moore, hurtling across the stage to seize the microphone from Hijaz, and stop her from saying these unapproved words.
Just look at this photograph: A young Muslim woman, speaking out, and a desperate, terrified principal trying to shut her down, lest the student say something unauthorized, disapproved, discordant with the views of an increasingly small clique of government officials and voters.
It's so pathetic. It reads like a comic play by Václav Havel. It looks like the desperate last days of the Soviet Union. I can only hope Hijaz speaks for a generation that will, one day, sweep all this garbage into the dustbin of history".

Reporter of China State Television CGTN, broadcasting in front of Gaza Shifa Hospital:
"I saw with my own eyes that there were at least 10 Palestinian children under the age of 5 without heads."
one of my biggest regrets is coming out to my parents
not only do they look at me differently, but they have socially outcasted me completely while still insisting that i conform to societal standards to “save face”
if you’re queer and arab, and thinking about coming out to-
@ArfinNathaniel And when I called my MPPs office asking for desperately needed life saving PPE I was told to “borrow” some from the local hospital. Such bastards.
Drove to the hospital I’m working at today in the pouring rain going 80 miles per hour with Chasing Cars playing on the radio.
Basically the beginning of a @GreysABC episode 😅
It's a myth Germans didn't know the Holocaust was happening. They may have not known the details, but they knew Jews were being sent to their death
Likewise, decades from now you'll hear people say that Israelis "didn't know" about the genocide in Gaza. That is also a lie
At a bastion of support for genocidal Jewish supremacy Mark Carney just bolstered forces funding and promoting a lawless genocidal state. At a synagogue that prays for Israeli soldiers the prime minister appointed a top apartheid lobbyist head of a new “equality” council. https://t.co/WICasy78fh
Got invited to attend a conference by one of the organizers. The same organizer who confirmed the headshot they are using of me in the brochure since I’m one of the speakers lol.
I certainly will not be paying to attend my own talk 😌
Older ladies used to try and set me up with their granddaughters. I was just thinking how it hasn’t happened in over a year now.
Kinda rude. Am I not good enough anymore ?!
I had the most no shows in one days I’ve had all year!! Thanks to my patients who apparently follow me on here & didn’t come to clinic today, I had a relaxing Monday.
Since you’re following me on here if you have a cute son or brother etc feel free to set me up
#HappyPride 🤪
