Here's how M3 year** went:

I came to medical school "knowing" exactly what kind of doctor I wanted to be.
I just finished my last rotation.
..and I have no idea what kind of doctor I'm going to be😀#Humbled #Medicalstudent

**3rd yr of med school i.e. clerkships/rotations

One of those clips where you have to make sure you're not hallucinating.
Donald Trump says Palestinians ought not be allowed to return to Gaza because "why would they want to return? That place has been hell" — next to the grinning man who made it hell

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

1/ I just turned 27, and for the first time EVER, I am a registered voter 🥳

I wasn't expecting to feel things, but looking at this picture really moves me. It took 18 years to become an American citizen, the first and (so far) the only in my family to do so #NewAmerican

Harris rn killing a baby in his 78th year

[Franklin Leonard @franklinleonard]

“There is no state in this country where it’s legal to kill a baby after it’s born.”

Attending when they ask what my plan for the patient is and I hit them with “I have concepts of a plan” 😂

Is it just me or do we refer to Kamala Harris by just her first name waaay more than we do e.g. Biden, Vance, Obama, Trump?

We don’t call him “Donald” (well, Joe does)

Now idk if it’s good, not good, or means nothing —it is a difference though, just an observation #KamalaHarris

[Luwi Joy @luwijoy]

“She was acting so off tho”

Sweet Sonya Massey asked for help and got:

1. Incessant, accusatory questioning
2. Mocking, mistrustful attitudes
3. Sarcastic, patronizing replies
4. Confusing,conflicting communication

Of course she was off.
She was terrified.

Can you see that?

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

philosophy chair getting arrested, an econ prof getting her head smashed against concrete, a street medic being held down and tased, snipers setting up vantage points to shoot at ohio state students -all because of nationwide protests against a genocide- you SHOULD be radicalized

A "Middle Eastern or North African" cateory + creating room to specificy identity is major!!

I still genuinely wonder why race and ethnicity are lumped in these forms?

..and if this has implications? is someone who checks "North African" assumed to be Black?

Does it matter?

[Luwi Joy @luwijoy]

@rpankove @emory_urology This is amazing, Becca! Congratulations!! 😍

[Luwi Joy @luwijoy]

@Cam_Futral @uwurology omg! Congrats Cam!!!

I was then told that the Israeli government is actually doing its best to minimize deaths and preserve Palestinian lives because “they could be killing more if they wanted to” . . .

This is what I was told.

[Luwi Joy @luwijoy]

I had a conversation with a fellow grad student about current events in Gaza . . .

I was told I couldn’t criticize the Israeli government’s [genocidal] actions against the Palestinian people if I didn’t have a better idea for how they should end Hamas . . .

[Luwi Joy @luwijoy]

I improvised a few ideas (you know with all my robust military experience and foreign intelligence)

but was told none of them would work . . . :(
