It feels like we’re living in a world where Idiocracy and 1984 had a baby

Especially after today…

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

This a million times over. Family medicine trained here. Primary care is the hub of patient care. PCPs handle so much.

I’m still paying my medical school loans from 22 years ago. Trained in family medicine, but I don’t do primary care anymore. Insurance companies and CMS force primary care to run assembly line medicine where quantity is more important than quality.

And now he’s using a wheelchair. Why aren’t we firing this “DEI hire”?

To my fellow women physicians, I celebrate you today. #womenphysiciansday #iamblackwell

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them.
Celebrate thy diversity.
Love each other.

My mood…

January reads. Several really good books here. White feminists, please read Hood Feminism. We’re doing it wrong. Also, Radium Girls would have been a different story if it was Radium Boys. Also recommend the audio versions of The Night Diary and Finding Me. They were excellent. #readingchallenge2025

This democrat qualifies for Mensa. Her argument is invalid.

Happy birthday, mom!!

Cry me a river. Whether it be eliminating DEI, putting up roadblocks for gender affirming care, or only deporting black and brown immigrants, voters that support maga also support hate. GTFO.

Many antidepressants are already on there. I recommend Cost Plus to my patients all the time. It’s mostly generics, though. For example, here is Lexapro.

Controlled substances usually have different regulations, so offering Ativan can be more complicated.

Demasculinization and feminization of male gonads by atrazine: Consistent effects across vertebrate classes Atrazine is the most commonly detected pesticide contaminant of ground water, surface water, and precipitation. Atrazine is also an endocrine disrupto…

Studies on mammals and vertebrates do not have the same effect.

I’ve been asking this for a week now. Why are there 138 days in January? Enough already.

If ICE Agents Show Up at Your Door You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm – you have rights. Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one). If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door). If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door. If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.

Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Puerta No abras la puerta, pero mantén la calma. Tú tienes derechos. Pregunta para qué están ahí (y solicita un intérprete si necesitas uno). Si piden entrar a tu casa, pregúntales si tienen una orden firmada por un juez y si la tienen, diles que te la muestren (por la ventana o que la pasen por debajo de la puerta). Si ellos no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puedes negarte dejarlos entrar. Pídeles que dejen cualquier información en tu puerta. Si entran a la fuerza, no te resistas. Dile a todos que estén en la casa que permanezcan en silencio. Si eres arrestado, permanece en silencio y no firmes nada hasta que hables con un abogado.

If You Interact with ICE Agents at Work: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.

Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Lugar de Trabajo Pregunte si puedes marcharse. De ser así, salga tranquilamente. Tú tienes derecho a no prestar consentimiento a una búsqueda. Diga en voz alta que no consientes a que registren tus pertenencias. Tú tienes derecho a guardar silencio. No tienes que discutir tu estatus migratorio con nadie, ni dónde naciste, ni si eres ciudadano, ni cómo entraste al país. Si tienes documentos de inmigración válidos, deberías mostrarlos. Nunca presente documentos falsos. Si eres arrestado, diga que quieres permanecer en silencio hasta que hables con un abogado. Tú tienes el derecho a grabar su interacción con los agentes de inmigración, siempre y cuando no interfiera.
