🧵 This isn't a story about a bad nurse. It's a story about a staffing model that put a new grad on a float pool because Tufts Medicine is hemorrhaging money, because 67% of its patients are on Medicaid, because OBBBA just cut a trillion dollars from the program. (Oh and the CEO took a 32% raise.)
I shudder to imagine, having recently learned what passes for a taco in France
I thought the bun was mole at first and was inordinately excited about a hot dog
CMMC compliance?
What impostor syndrome? Just remind yourself, only one person in the room has a PhD and it’s you.
And renamed it Bluescreen?
"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com
I haven’t seen under $4 in CA in years
Yikes, that’s terrifying. Stay safe friend!
This from the rooftops. Isolate people and they consume more to survive, instead of relying on community. We are always stronger together. They want us weak, sick, broken. More exploitable.
Watched a Korean cooking competition and mostly collapsed.
Today I had a full day of technical discussions in a large group…where I was the only woman.
I didn’t miss this. 😔
The organic chemistry dreams break my heart a little, because I miss it and I’m not even sure I still have those skills

Positive displacement pipette. Didn’t even know they existed. Honestly I find I’m able to use a normal pipette for this just fine, but my coworkers struggle. Technique 💪🏻
Since when does a pipette need a battery?
And why does it need the only kind of battery we have none of at work - and that the hardware store next door is out of?
note: as a preventative, patients take it every other day
This basically leaves ya paying full price. It’s a fancy tier in the formulary, of course, it’s a great drug, works really well…but it does us fuck-all good if it’s unaffordable.
Please change the wording on your copay assistance #pfizer
Hey #Pfizer, your copay assistance on Nurtec does no good for patients who need it as a preventative:
- it’s sold in boxes of 8, so 2 boxes (16) is what I get at the pharmacy
- your coupon only allows for a 30 day supply
- pharmacies will not break the boxes to remove one tablet
Do the math 😡
No, all the synthesis I did ended up being on arenes/acenes/flat things.
I keep telling y’all I only respect “laws” that are empirically or mathematically derived. Everything else is just social contract, which (these days) is pretty broken on large scales.
(I might still observe fake laws, because anxious, but these? Fuck no. Clear and obvious bullshit.)
COSY was one of those things we learned that I’ve never actually had the chance to use in the wild. Always thought it was cool.
It’s worth going to Defcon at least once, to witness the SocEng Capture the Flag at least once. 20 minutes, 5 phone calls, how much sensitive info can you get from people?
Yes!!!!
An unfortunate consequence is that STI prevention info from reputable sources does not really cover a lot of what you might be doing. (I also suspect commonly ordered STI testing doesn’t cover some of the relevant pathogens, esp for immunocompromised folks!)
Yes! And the way it’s commonly defined is so cisheteronormative and so abled. If you’re outside those categories, the cultural scripts around it aren’t terribly applicable.
Because you’re going to have to find a compatible printer and/or a 5.25” floppy and send it via snail mail?

I dropped fluorescein in water and rhodamine B in isopropanol into water to visualize miscibility and diffusion.

I actually might watch a stream of that, purely out of nostalgia
