@dysclinic Being compassionate and wrong is the worst combo. If a doctor dismisses me at the 1st apt. I just go find another one. But if they are nice but incompetent it takes me longer to realize they aren't going to work and/or I end up trying treatments that are actually harmful.

Just got updated #novavax at Costco! They said they just got it yesterday.

Finally over at the blue place. Have the same handle. Now I just have to find all the same pp to follow.😅

@PhDhurtBrain I teach at a CC and I love it when I get a few non-traditional older students who still get me.

I am so sick of people taking liberal rights that were created to protect against the despotism of the state and projecting them onto every area of social life.

*The state* has to presume your innocence, the average person does not.

Consequences of the Texas Senate acquitting AG Ken Paxton: Whistleblowers will not report their bosses. Statewide officials can do favors for their friends under criminal investigation. No elected official has to worry about impeachment if their party holds the Senate. #txlege

@mehdirhasan @FPWellman Biden joking about how he doesn't need to wear his facemask isn't exactly a great look either.

@JoannaNoBanana Also one course of meds or treatment must fix everything right?

“What long COVID taught me: How to help a friend with chronic illness”

Instead of 'Are you feeling better?' and 'What do you need?' here are some truly helpful questions you can ask

@RadCentrism At first I thought this was some new conspiracy about rice rather than a typo.

@po_move I would get very vivid auditory hallucinations after waking up from naps. I would get less vivid auditory hallucinations throughout the day as well. Stopped after I got a diagnosis and antibiotics even though I still have chronic Lyme.

If you’re not tossing out amazing & hilarious jokes to a totally dead room are you even a teacher though??

@JZPhilosophy I had to get a 20 year old to sign a form the other day and the line where they printed their name and the line where they signed their name were the same.

@TheDevilHistory Yeah normally the celebrity news does hit me that hard, but this one does..I had a lot of anxiety as a teenager and one of the few things that would help me relax was putting on Jimmy Buffett.

@ask_aubry This is beside the point, but ironically I was taught that real ladies cross their legs at the ankles only. Crossing higher up can show too much skin in a skirt and is there for loose women. 🤣

Well said, Mr. Herron.

@RGibsongirl I have a beach cover up from Talbots that looks like a dress (especially if I add a cute belt). On days I really don't want to get dressed I wear it, and for some reason that makes me feel better.

@LifeAfterMyPhD Given the academy has a reputation for being liberal, as a PhD student I was blindsided by how much sexism was still tolerated in my particular field and as an adjunct I am surprised by how many tt faculty don't care about poor working conditions.

Are we just going to ignore the fact that Biden let Hurricane Hillary hit California when he could have used a Sharpie to move it out to sea safely?
