@elonmusk Sure would be nice if someone had enough money to eradicate world hunger & paid more taxes to support prenatal & postnatal care. And actually wanted things to get better.
Don't worry, we know it'll just stay the same. Hard to make money when you don't have it so keep it, right?
@AllenCMarshall 1988-1989: watching casualty names from Operations Golden Pheasant and Just Cause on the evening news and sighing in relief when my dad wasn't among them.
I have been informed that I am being replaced as the Editor in Chief of @eLife for retweeting a @TheOnion piece that calls out indifference to the lives of Palestinian civilians.
@ask_aubry Not sure why she isn't trying to include his GF since she's obviously important to him. And if he makes shit up -- welcome to teens. The expectation for what someone else should want (progeny or not) is incredibly lacking in self-awareness. Almost feel bad for her. Almost.
My 2yo just asked for “one more tiny kiss” 🥺🥺🥺 and it’s almost like earlier today I didn’t think to myself, “there is a reason that the baby box at the fire station is too small to fit a toddler in there.”
@aiglamene Nooooo, do not fall into the darkside of the texts, we know better! So sorry, boo, if you deleted all of that it would be easier for me to tell you it'll get better, but that won't happen until you're truly ready ♥️😭♥️
"One more thing," the patient says, right when I'm about to exit the exam room.
I used to be annoyed by it. Until one day, a patient's "one more thing" was actually "the" thing she wanted to say. But she needed to feel me out and make sure I was a safe person first. So, I sat back down and listened. Then we discussed and ran tests.
"You restored my faith in doctors." She took the bus just to tell me this today after making a full recovery. Her visit filled my heart with warmth and purpose.
If we ask people to wait for months for their appointments, then (sometimes) hours in our offices, we can hear them out for their one more thing.
