Dr. Barbie, PhD

Just another female PhD holder dealing with the patriarchy

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

Coming back from my self imposed Twitter exile to say my book finally published! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 I gave birth…to knowledge. Okay back to Threads 😎

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

@nlmtys Ugh that’s horrific! It’s so contagious and I feel at such a loss because nobody wants to even try to mitigate. This has been horrible and I never want it again 🥲

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

It really sucks that I’ve done everything “right” to mitigate and I still ended up catching Covid. I can’t even think of a slip up where it happened. It’s just that virulent that unless you don’t leave your house the tiniest window of opportunity will occur. So unsustainable

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

It just proves public health can’t be done alone. One way masking does a LOT but it’s not full proof

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

I have no regrets with masking and will continue to do so. I believe it had to be a freak fomite occurrence from a coworker coming in positive without a care in the world. Almost 4 years into the pandemic and this is my first time? Pretty good tbh

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

Okay mucinex with post nasal drip is not a good idea 🥲

My vaccine waking up to my body currently being Covid invaded

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

I’m envisioning my XBB vaccine waking up in the next day or two, seeing covi is in the house, and promptly kicking it out. Or at least I’m wishfully thinking this 😅

Pulse ox has been great and no wheezing thank godddd

The phlegm though. The phlegm.

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

Did I tell you it’s also advisement week? So I’ve had emails coming in with my response being:

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

I am made of snot. It’s taking over my body basically. I am just phlegm. But hey no fever today 🙌🏻

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

@fitkix @Kidsdoc1Rick This literally happened to me too! And I am so careful and always wear an n95 so it had to be like a freak set of circumstances. So angry about it

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

@senorhettler I sent him a note stating how disappointed I was in him for making light of Covid precautions and joking about masks and I got ✨nothing✨ A+ Joe A+

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

Also Amazon Clinic A+++ for getting pax to you. If you don’t have a PCP this is the way to go

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

Soooo three days after my novavax I am testing positive for Covid 😭 I literally don’t go anywhere without an n95 firmly on my face so idk how it’s possible. Getting pax and not leaving bed for the foreseeable future

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

Actually I do know where: maskless coworker knowingly positive ✨✨✨ I have anger

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

@JohnLadd484689 I tested the morning of too just to make sure I was neg. Perfect storm/timing I guess.

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

Anyone lived in a pretty how town by e e cummings. The wordplay is so fun to pick apart

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

@glitterbitch__ My friend basically did the same thing and then the whole family caught it 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

Okay 48 hours out. Had a fever all night but not as bad as prior doses. Anyone develop a cough? I actually tested to make sure I wasn’t positive because it felt like an unusual side effect.

[Dr. Barbie, PhD @DoctoralBarbie]

Got Novavax today at Costco 🥂
Was worried about the pinch after talking to my mom but I didn’t feel a thing. Arm’s a bit sore and I’m a little tired 3 hours later but here’s to hoping I have a better time with it than the others.
