One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever seen, which I encountered in the form of women’s bathroom graffiti:

“Don’t be a little bitch. Be a HUGE bitch.”

Reach for the stars, baby.

@BoobyJargon @baddestmamajama Oh? I had a hemorrhagic stroke in January less than 24h after the end of a Covid infection and nearly died.

The neuro ICU was massively, unusually full at the time, almost as if something was causing a surprising number of strokes at the peak of winter Omicron infections.

@_Eric_Reinhart Any humanities postgrad could write all of this in the blink of an eye, but we can’t afford med school or, often, survive the inhumanities (lol) of residency. A lot of us would probably be pretty good doctors, so, it’s too bad medicine’s so structurally inaccessible as a field.

@AmyClukey I got taken seriously not even a little until I went to a Long Covid clinic

Docs not specializing in it just don’t know

@lurkerstongues @literElly By which I just mean — he didn’t have fat stacks to buy a 400k house he was hiding from the tweeps.

[WORST STOAT (badstoat) @badstoat]

@lurkerstongues @literElly No idea what his house was worth 3 years ago but nowhere near 400k if that’s what it sold for now

@AmyClukey It’s my 10th grade math teacher teaching it, too. The classroom has institutional linoleum squares, a real chalkboard w/ chalk, and those terrible 1960s(?) all wood deskchair desks. The tiny ones.

Sometimes in this dream for no reason there is a truly giant aquarium in the room.

@AmyClukey Two nights ago I dreamed I was on the verge of failing to get my PhD bc I couldn’t pass collefe algebra, my final requirement

[WORST STOAT (badstoat) @badstoat]

@AmyClukey oh OKAY

@probirding don’t call me :)

[WORST STOAT (badstoat) @badstoat]

@probirding Sure, focus on the complicity of the absent—such a comforting way of avoiding having to really do anything or address how completely in collaboration our own lives are.

And if anyone disagrees, tar them with the same brush, babe. Let’s call it the Crucible maneuver.

@probirding @NettieEmm @literElly Just keep repeating your original argument people have already explained the flaws in and maybe you will eventually drive everyone off and be left alone with… I’m not sure, actually, but good luck with your whole project!

[WORST STOAT (badstoat) @badstoat]

@probirding @NettieEmm @literElly ooh, compelling rejoinder
