Ok, so I'm noticing some of my students are starting to follow me on here, so disclaimer: I share my opinions on all sorts of topics on here, and sometimes what I retweet or like has some not school appropriate language in it.

Today's the day! Every fall, @KatmaiNPS in Alaska hosts #FatBearWeek, an annual tournament celebrating the success of the bears winter prep.

When all you wanna do is sleep but life and responsibilities won’t leave you alone…

Unbearable.

If you want an adventure, take a step outside. Unless it's storming. Or really hot. Is that a bear?

Today was an emotional day in clinic. And here are how people amazed me, taught me, and humbled me.

1. A young women with a gang-related tattoo said today she’s an advocate for children with broken homes. “Just because you come from brokenness, doesn’t mean you have to stay with brokenness.” But living paycheck to paycheck, she couldn’t pay for a $4 prescription.

2. An older man told me he was working in 140 F environment without AC because he was saving money to afford dentures. “No one taught me how to take care of myself when I was younger. But today I’m showing my son the right ways.”

3. A young man with cancer lost his Medicaid due to policy changes right before his radiation therapy. His mom wrote to the congressman, charities, and the governor begging for money. Now he is back in treatment.

“People don’t take care of themselves.” Some say. Wrong. WE don’t take care of them. WE let people down as a system. WE have to do better.

Where do we start? By listening to their courageous stories. (And so much more.)

Whenever I see someone wearing a mask in public now, I have three thoughts:

1. They're sick and protecting me.
2. They're sick and protecting themselves.
3. They're perfectly healthy but protecting someone they love who is sick.

And in none of those scenarios is it my business.

I'll die on this hill:

Hospitals should not charge patients or staff to park. For patients, it disproportionally affects those with the lowest economic status.

And for employees, you're charging them to essentially come to work; this most affects employees who make the least.

Today and every day I am so, so grateful to librarians whose work is absolutely essential to making art and information available to all--even amid absurdly difficult working conditions. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

writing professors will tell you “completely evil characters are unrealistic” and then you meet people who are like “children should work in the mines for a crust of bread” or “we could lower the marginal tax rate if we burned down the libraries”

Conference realignment is the most American thing I can think of. Whittling away at all of the quirky, unique things that make something special and popular so that every last dollar can be squeezed out of a homogenized, board room-approved product to keep a bunch of stiff, corporate suits happy when revenue projections are shown.

can’t tell if my exhaustion is from the heat or living through a constant barrage of historic events for the past 7 years

Laying in bed every night thinking "Wow, it would be so nice to read before bed." The book is right next to me. I have chosen the book. I have prepared the book. Why can I not pick up the book. Why can I not open the book and read the book. Why is there only Scrolling.
