New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today’s youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

I think I would love hiking the AT by myself, but only now that I'm older and unfortunately have neither the time nor the knee cartilage.

Crossing lots of things off the ol' to-do list.

Not the important things, obviously, but progress is progress.

Her picture should be first, and his picture should be not at all. This isn't about him. It's about HER.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, a true advocate of peace.

Please don't distract from her accomplishments by mentioning the names of those who didn't win. It's the attention that they seek. Not giving it to them will be the ultimate loss.

BRB ... Gotta start a delivery service for lightning bugs because everyone deserves some real life magic

emma 🏹☁️✨ @opaliteskies.swifties.social · 3d

just found out fireflies are real and not some magical made up glow bug and now i will make it my life’s goal to see one in real life

April Sharp, MD @ansharp.bsky.social · 3d

No lightning bugs in TX? In GA, we used to catch them in a jar at night and make night lights... that were dead by morning. 😬

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

I connected with a teenager once about how scary panic attacks can feel. Her mom lit up and said "see you could be a doctor one day" and got teary-eyed. Best thing I could have done for both of them.

I talk about being an ADHD parent often when I'm counseling parents about these symptoms.

Recently went to ED for abd sx, assuming I needed a CT. Normal vitals, labs, and "didn't wince" when people palpated even though I told them it was tender. Only once I said I also didn't wince with IUD placement did the female res take me seriously. This wouldn't have influenced most male providers.

Okay, but to be fair it did smell rancid for the past week.
