It confuses me when professional athletes like Cunningham, who have clearly won the genetic-atheletic lottery and have dominated sports since their childhood, complain that trans women have an "unfair advantage."

Trans debate isn’t over

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

As we previously argued, “Trans kids just want the same opportunities as their peers. They want to be on sports teams to have fun, get exercise, and hang out with their friends. Just like any other kid.” Let trans kids play sports! time.com/7296246/tran...

Letting Transgender Kids Play Sports Benefits All Kids

States with policies allowing trans girls to play sports have seen increased rates of sports participation by cis girls.

If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

hospitals want us to do more with less without a concern for patient safety or our own wellbeing while refusing to pay us adequate wages

Stop Saying There's a Nursing Shortage

The U.S. may have less of a shortage of licensed nurses than a shortage of nurses who are willing to work in bedside jobs that have become increasingly demanding.

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

Let’s unpack this post by NIH and CDC Director and self-made victim Jay Bhattacharya. 1. This was not misreporting. This is what RFK Jr. said in his interview. 2. Free speech was not “suspended”. If it had been no one would know who Bhattacharya is.

I posted about hiring over on LinkedIn, and I don't know who this guy is, what he's getting at, or if he's taking a dig at some very talented colleagues of mine or *my husband*. No, you don't need one. But what does help is not being a jerk.

I'm often haunted by the fact that, in 2020, we bought our house from a loving family who had made the difficult decision to move their parents into memory care and sell the family home. About two months later, both parents died of COVID.

It's ME(Jaime)@exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social · 2d ago

I lived NEAR a city and the ambulances ran past the main road constantly. RFK would have you believe that those ambulances were empty, and also that every ER doc and nurse across the country is simultaneously lying, and only he can tell you the truth.

from the big speakers there, we caught, "Tú me tienes temblando de día," and in unison, the oldest child and I belted out, "TÚ ME HICISTE BRUJERÍA." And I felt then that I had raised him right, and it was a joy to be together with all of them in one place, a rarer and rarer occasion.

Pharmaceutical Ad Urges Viewers To Fight Doctors Who Say Drug Not Right For Them

Hey Ken I don’t care if you play the NYT puzzles. I do! I do care that you responded to the criticism in a derisive and dismissive manner. Somehow you can’t even bring yourself to apologize for that.

Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 3d ago

For the record: NOPE. Honestly, I don’t think there’s an issue today I care about on a personal level more deeply than trans rights. And it’s rough out there right now. Bigots on one side of the political aisle and too many cowards on the other. ⬇️

I'll thank the covid pandemic for one thing, and that the burgeoning measles outbreak in 2019 got beat back for a little while. There were a bunch of cases in NYC, and then *poof*. Graph from the @us.theguardian.com article

There's a new measles outbreak in Delaware after a decade with no cases. In times of high transmission, outbreaks become more likely - and with falling vaccination rates across the country, these sparks are falling on increasingly dry timber. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

there’s a disturbing number of Americans, probably including 90% of conservatives and more than half of centrists and liberals, who simply do not see the homeless as human beings and, if they could vote in a secret ballot, would overwhelmingly support their extermination.

The release of Dr. Anthony Fauci's pandemic diaries has rekindled the debate over the origins of SARS-CoV-2. Here's how scientists have weighed in.

It was the most intense period of my professional life. We went into it with so many unknowns. My medical spouse and I both went into our respective shifts despite the terrible stories that had come out of Italy. Flying almost blind with regard to what we were doing, relying on Twitter anecdotes..

I agree with @drsandman11.medsky.social: If you didn't look like this & doing everything you can to prevent people from dying during the pandemic, maybe think twice before judging Dr. Fauci.
