How A Single Bad Drug Trip Led to Japanese Technopop 🧵

In the early 1970s, bassist Haruomi Hosono of the band Happy End was jamming with his friends at a Tokyo studio, when someone passed around a joint. Hosono thought it would be very cool to take a double-sized hit.

@Jessnimm We use topical cold spray like this before injection and offer an ice pack afterwards. About 200 injections so far and has been working well! https://t.co/wUxwolBEDv

@MichaelDeene Savor the wins, despite their infrequency and size, by recognizing the immense barriers/hurdles/oppositional forces they’ve been pitted against.

And therapy.

[Medical Axioms @medicalaxioms]

You know those adult patients who get admitted “all the time” and “every resident knows them”?

I will tell you something you don’t know. 1/

Love good food? Want to support woman-owned businesses? Think tattoos and mohawks are cool? Get up to Lynn and eat Rachel's food, pronto.

She is super talented, humble, and has a heart of gold. So glad her work is being recognized.

Dr. @RheaBoydMD dropping truth in NYT. 👇🏾

"Black people deserve to make this important medical decision like all other patient populations, equipped with the access they need to insurance coverage, reliable care, credible information and actual vaccines."

@universalhub Better headline would be “Hero Bench Bandits Save Seats for Citizens”. The problem is the architecture, not those adjusting it.

@JoeWrightMD @DollyParton @KizzyPhD @CambMA SO smart to wear shoulder-less sleeves! I had to pull one arm out of a sweater. Like a weirdo.

The area is described pejoratively as “Methadone Mile” and non-pejoratively as “Recovery Road.” It's ground zero for twin wars: the wars on people who use drugs and people experiencing homelessness.

I guess this is progress. NPs & PAs still need to complete _24_ hrs of training to get to the same spot.

It would be nice to make a change across the board and get serious about bringing treatment to those who need it. Especially in rural areas. https://t.co/p6N8unUHna

@MichaelDeene They’re trying their best. It’s hard to be hot AND good at your job.

White privilege is on display like never before in the U.S. Capitol.

If these people were Black. . .well, we all know what would be happening right now to them.

@maggiebeiser @watertowngov @ProEMSCambridge Can personally vouche for how seamless and simple the process is. Plus it’s fun to visit the mansion!

@DrSarahAxelrath IDK, thoughts and prayers have a pretty solid track record of fixing things.
