Holy shit, this “American girl” ad from @senecaprojectus is amazing!!!
Hard to see the letters I’m typing through the tears streaming down my face though.

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

We organize with Haitian-origin farm workers in NY. They’re as American as the apple pie their work makes possible, but right wing racists are spreading dehumanizing lies.

Haitians are not eating pets.
They’re feeding America.

The anti-Haitian bigotry we’re seeing is repulsive.

For outpatients with chronic pain receiving palliative care, opioid therapy reduced pain intensity, preserved function & decreased overdose risk over four years.

Perhaps we should focus on "right prescribing," instead of #OpioidReductionism... 🤔

“Brat summer”

When you’re a Wisconsinite, every summer is a brat summer.

[Palliative Medicine @PalliativeMedJ]

Over one-third of #palliative medicine physicians meet burnout criteria. The provision of enhanced organisational and colleague support is paramount in both the current and future pandemics. #hpm #hapc #covid19 https://t.co/3GSGSkY7Xj

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Kids these days aren't as bad as we think.

We make the mistakes of comparing kids to our current traits—forgetting what we were like at their age—and comparing their limitations to our strengths.

Before we vilify younger generations, we should remember our own shortcomings.

[Rachel Thee-in-pray-oon, MD, MSCS @RThienprayoon]

Sometimes I wonder if it’s normal now
For parents who so carefully brush each tooth
And respond to each tear
Worry about each meal
Pack the backpack in the morning
To worry silently as we do
That our child will be shot to death at some point.

Flashback to being profoundly disappointed by Plymouth Rock as a kid

[Ashley Green @agreenphotog]

I’m sorry but there’s nothing funnier in the state of Massachusetts than the size of this rock
