I’m an emergency medicine doctor. When you come to my ER, I will take care of you even if your beliefs are different than mine. My job is to take care of patients.

If you would deny a patient care because they have different beliefs than you, then you should not be in medicine

Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A 🧵

The Bible only records one person giving God a name. Hagar, the enslaved victim of sexual abuse named God "El Roi" "God Who Sees Me"
It's #TDOV2023 and I am thinking about what it means to be seen.
We celebrate this day because so often trans and non-binary people are unseen 1/🧵

@TheIdahoPress I have enjoyed reading your pieces, especially the last few years. And you once let one of my college students interview you and were very kind. Thank you for all of your hard work

@JortsTheCat Hi Jorts! I look like you! I am a foster kitten from Oregon. My name is Cheeto, but my fosters call me Jorts, Jr.

@AmyClukey @RickSteves I love Rick Steves! I actually met him once, in London, at one of the pubs he recommended, as he was updating his book for the next year. He was very nice and signed my book.

I will also be supporting these candidates.

@meagan_newberry Good boy, Toby. Also, he is scenting up that wall. He is telling Bruiser that HE is the man of the house. Boys.

@meagan_newberry Have you seen Reservation Dogs on Hulu? It is amazing

This made my whole day.

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

Hearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC

@AmyClukey I do literature exams similarly but with specific themes to write on. I teach a survey series, though. And I don’t time them and let them do them at home. I think it works great as a teaching tool, though.

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for.

@MorganRomeroTV And it included a definition of what comprehensive sex ed is. And if yes, at what age it should start. In every survey I did, the answer was yes. The CDC will have the data on the survey results, and so should Idaho 2/2

[Willie and his person @abbyandhercat]

@MorganRomeroTV This is anecdotal but with the potential of real data to back it up: I used to do CDC health surveys all over the country via telephone. Idaho's version specifically asked if people thought kids should be taught comprehensive sex education in school 1/2

@Walton_Emily My wife works in special ed in this area and they can’t find anyone to work for the pay as paraprofessionals either. It is infuriating.

@meagan_newberry Murder Cat used to be called Bruiser, too :) I am glad they are getting along better. Time does wonders. Maybe he misses Zula, too.

@annehelen Ohio has Licking County

[Willie and his person @abbyandhercat]

@meagan_newberry Oh Toby. We have a couple that need a while to adjust to new animals, too. It has always gotten better, though
