Things I was taught throughout my medical training that I've stopped believing:
-patients lie to get what they want
-patients are unreliable
-10 out of 10 pain is rare
-patients who don't get better are non-compliant
-patients who don't get better have psychiatric problems
-the end justifies the means when it comes to medical treatment
-medical consent is a piece of paper
I am not perfect. But I am learning. And the best teacher isn't my professors' voices in my head or the textbooks, but the person who sits right in front of me in the exam room.
When american zionists say to me “well if you think Israel isn’t a legitimate state, then wouldn’t that make the US illegitimate too?”
Yes. Correct. You’re also a settler on stolen land. Are you starting to get it?
Land back for all colonized people
Biden militarizing border wall and, in doing so, trampling Indigenous sovereignty, endangering migrants, and hurting ecosystems is not just a "Trumpian" move.
It actually follows in legacy of Democrats like Obama & Clinton - who first started push to militarize southern border.
If the Biden admin adopts a Trump era border or sanctions policy it doesn’t matter if The Cruelty is the Point™. From the perspective of the victim of said policy—whether it’s motivated by raw sadism or “pragmatic electoral considerations”—it makes zero practical difference
The Georgia State Troopers who shot an activist 57 times during a protest of Atlanta's "Cop City" will not face charges for the killing. https://t.co/ul6UA6SBcB
They refuse to release helicopter footage of the killing of Tort. They refuse to release documents related to the investigation. The GBI director and the GSP captain have stepped down. The prosecutor has recused herself from the case. This is state terrorism. Dirty War tactics.
I can't speak for anyone but myself, but if I magically woke up tomorrow in a world where my basic needs were guaranteed and all laws against consensual adult behavior were eliminated? I would absolutely be interested in taking on the occasional sex work client of my choosing
I maybe bring this up too much but it's my petty hill to die on. A "gender reveal" party is not that. You don't know your kid's gender until they tell you. These are infant genital celebrations, which is a *really fucking weird* thing to do.
Libby and hoopla are so so great.
(Also if you've lived in multiple areas and had library cards there, a lot of times the cards stay active. So now I have 3 library cards on Libby from 3 different states.)
I’m sure a lot of you know about it already, but I love Libby. Best app out there.
Free download. Then you plug in your library card. Then you get all the ebooks and audiobooks at your library straight to your phone.
I just walk around now listening to great audiobooks.
