Always makes me laugh when men (it’s generally men) comment on my makeup
My dude, it’s a good thing I don’t wear makeup for other people so I don’t care if you like it or not. I wear makeup for myself.
When will men realize we don’t care what they think about well, anything
Today, the unsung hero is the person who finally went up on stage & had the speaker remove their earring that was hitting the microphone every time the person moved their head.
Those of us who process every little noise appreciate you!! (I was legit about to leave bc annoying)
Picture of a woman wearing a mask in front of a large window (buildings in the background). Holding up a name tag and lanyard (lanyard says American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists AAPP) Name tag says: Ashley Perkins, PharmD, EdS, CPh; she/her; We Matter Too, Inc. Blue ribbon says “editorial board member” Red ribbon says “speaker”
Don’t let anyone tell you, you can’t or won’t…the best revenge is success
Might take you longer but that’s okay, your timeline is YOURS!
People are seriously dicks. A lady tried to shove in front of me to get on the plane, she’s like I’m ahead of you. Ma’am, I have preboard, get the fuck away from me. I wanted to poke her with my cane.
Then of course the “I probably need it more than she does comments” 🙄
I’m saying this & it’ll piss a lot of people off but it’s needed. It’s the basis that’s valid, not a perfect comparison
Med professionals expecting everyone to believe them over pts is very akin to believing perpetrators over those SA/abused/etc.
It’s victim blaming
Start occupational therapy on Monday! I really hope this can help me out some. I’ve lost the ability to do so many things & I hope they can help me out some to get some stuff back. Reality is I won’t be able to do everything again but some is better than nothing.
And epinephrine has legit been around forever so there is absolutely zero people who can tell me it costs that much to make EpiPens…brand or generic…fucking manipulative & abusive
It should be considered an actual criminal act to charge $109 with insurance for two generic epi-pens
Let’s charge an exorbitant amt of money for a fucking life saving medication bc we do love to profit off that shit
Healthcare is NOT FOR FUCKING PROFIT…it’s a human right
I did a thing! I’m not going to share what it is right yet but I am very excited!! Once everything is squared away, then I’ll share!
If someone is telling the truth they don’t feel the need to dirty delete their posts or fully deactivate their account…
It’s almost like doing those things SCREAMS I’m lying or I’m hiding something, but what do I know 💁♀️
I SUCK AT IT…
Gives me an ambiguous question & expects me to believe there is a single correct answer 🤨
I was just mulling over this thought…
I think standardized tests have really ruined the thought processes & critical thinking of so many people. They give this “only one answer” idea which leads to so much binary thinking.
Truly, so many things can be true for a single thing
“Be less confrontational”
I could literally say it in the nicest way possible while smiling, laughing & dancing…it will still be confrontational for YOU. Know why? Because what I am saying makes you uncomfortable and it’s the truth, direct & unfiltered
Know what I find hilarious (actually sad)
Med professionals of all types are not adequately prepared to assist those w/disabilities. Bias is a major factor. Yet, people w/disabilities require use of the med system.
It’s messed up. Don’t get mad at me, research is clear on this.
🤣
Absolutely! I completely agree. I’m not surprised he still hasn’t been able to reflect on why it happened & how blaming everyone else doesn’t fix the problems
And is this who I think it is? Is he the one who got kicked out?
There are receipts for all of the people who have spread lies, so don't bother deleting your posts.
Others are new, having once sought out the person they attack for help (pathetic), now they pile on w/ targeted attacks on her business. The accusation here is laughable. Being on Twitter is somehow damning; many of us are there 2 engage w/& support Palestinians, who are ruthlessly censored here.
These people have done this before. Please see the following thread on Twitter, from a fellow academic who called out shameless propaganda for Is*rael, and who was smeared herself for correcting lies and distorted facts: x.com/ShabanaMir1/...
They are relying on institutional clout to get away with these vicious attacks, not on proof available in their posts. Is it a coincidence that the person they smear is a vocal advocate for Palestine? Or a Black woman? Or left academia? Unproven blood libel accusations are a known hasbara technique.
Defamatory posts by white women academics targeting a former academic and her business using hasbara "anti-semitism" claims
There is a group of (mostly) white women with university jobs targeting a former academic; claiming "anti-semitism", they smear with NO PROOF, out-of-context tweets, or content that is not on Bsky. They are also coming after her business, which has no link to academia.
Picture of an adult female wearing a respirator looking down at a white/light brown colored goat. Woman is wearing a pink and red striped shirt with black straps from a purse over her arm
This goat was the cutest 😅 made a new furry friend today
Exactly! There is a clear difference
Tired of seeing these things happen. It’s beyond inappropriate for any of us as medical professionals to be posting that stuff…

A friend of mine is a nurse practitioner & she mentioned it to me a few months back & it just fits. Most of the issues I have fit under the umbrella of MCAS & all my issues really started after I got mono in college. With the recent post-EBV links to lupus…it just all fits
I was reading info on MCAS today & wouldn’t u know, recurrent leukoplakia issues in the mouth (on the gums) is a common issue
U know, that thing I had to have 3 oral surgeries over 4 months last year to get it all removed from my gum
Pretty sure MCAS explains 75% of my issues
Claiming America is taking orders from Jewish people/“Israel” makes you a Zionist.
$30 has just come in, bringing me to $260! Thank you so much- are there any other folks who can spare a few bucks?
Every bit counts- could you match that last $30? And please keep sharing!
