Accidentally left my sticker stash out when my kid was having his friends over for a graduation party, so apparently a pile of 18 year olds sat around discussing medication abortion in our living room 🥰🤩

Someone please introduce me to the man who pondered the best possible design for a blood pressure pill taken by elderly folks with shaky fingers and decided “tiny, narrow, and beige” was the way to go. I just want to talk.

Put phone down to make tea. Made tea. Picked up tea. Remembered I’d put phone down … somewhere? Put tea down to find phone. Eventually find phone. Remember I put tea down … somewhere? Is this hell this is hell isn’t it

Love it when someone I’ve supported through an abortion reaches out later to ask how they can support others ❤️

The best revenge is training abortion doulas so that’s what I’m going to do this weekend. Teaching everyone how to support and care for folks having abortions just as hard i can

Turn to the person on your left and repeat after me: don’t report your patients to the cops for the love of all that is holy what is wrong with you

College admissions are brutal. That is my update from our home with twin seniors.

You can love science and also find arguments for abortion safety that lean hard into medical authority gross and problematic.

I have some bad news for the vast majority of folks who take gabapentin

Reading @ruha9.bsky.social’s Imagination Manifesto and about to require both my kids to read this as a prerequisite for going to college. This is some beautiful, accessible, inspiring work.

87% of NPs are primary health care providers. “Yet an obscure committee now promises to strip them of access to educational funds, putting the healthcare system, the nursing workforce, and patients at risk,” writes Cory Ellen Gatrall in this week’s ER essay. nursingclio.org/2026/02/23/p...

It is very hard to focus on this NIH Biosketch with fascism growling so loudly

We're all trying to be careful with our language, so as not to offend, or not to lose federal funding for talking about paragraph transitions. To help you out, here's a worksheet to guide you in swapping out troublesome phrases for real, historical eel expressions. 🗃️🧪

Thrilled to share this work, and beyond grateful to the folks who co-authored, collaborated, and contributed. So excited to amplify community expertise.

I took a mixed levels modern dance class taught by my bff tonight. Failed to remember choreography, pulled several glutes, and had to take a break when I got dizzy. 10/10 would recommend.

But have you met Rome, sir

Every time I look at Kushner’s stupid face I hear my Bubbe muttering Shanda fur di goyim

Voting is a privilege, huh? Not a right? We’re just saying that out loud now?

The SOTU is an abomination but listening to my 91 year old mom curse at the TV is giving me some small pleasure

Some days start out feeling good and then abruptly gut-kick you with no warning. Lord.

poets: …hear me out, though

Trying to remember that I’m frustrated because I’m ambitious. I could settle for less, or take on easier challenges. But I don’t. And that’s the person I want to be.

My kitchen tonight is like the Island of Misfit Bakes

When you pointed out that it looked like a duck, they called you hysterical. When you pointed out that it also swam like a duck, they said sheesh Bluesky is such an echo chamber. When you said and now it's really quacking a lot like a duck, they accused you of relativizing earlier ducks.

Evidently it is time for my semiannual social media comments fight.
