Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
![Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

me: no worries (galadriel voice) but they were all of them deceived, for another worry was made
the Enterprise's holodeck was Uhura squeezing her eyes shut and pretending Jim said something less idiotic
The tension between these two was immense. (Also a clear message of "we don't need your interference, human!")
Amazing. Also--you never know what will make an impact, no matter how small it seems.

I'm gathering good roasts for a thing....what are the best clean/not punching down ones you know? Or your kids know? Kids often know best on these matters. Every joker who replies with a picture of some roast lamb will be stopped. Perhaps not today. But one day. I mean insults and you know that.
Glad to have a pirate playlist for our journey down to Southampton today. (I'll warrant ye know what day it be, ye scurvy dogs!?)
I have spent weeks shadowing the RNLI and I can tell you, they do it out of nothing more than compassion. Wrote about the heroes I've met over the years in this free-to-read post. nicolakelly.substack.com/p/the-rnli-a...
The RNLI aren't traitors; they're heroes
I have spent weeks shadowing lifeboat crews. Here's what they do and what it's like.

The curse of working in utilities (electricity is v different to water obvs) is being told you're only in it to make money, when the main benefit of these things is stuff we need like, er, water and electricity.
Alex Hern@hern.bsky.social · 3w agocontinually maddening that people blame "the water companies" for hosepipe bans when "the water companies" have been begging to build new reservoirs but a few retired QCs in Oxfordshire have used the entire weight of the british planning system to prevent it www.theguardian.com/business/202...
