According to the article she should have poured it in a bin.

I wonder, if she’d tripped and spilled it whether she’d have been fined?

Emily @docbotch.bsky.social · 6d

Yes. This definitely seems like a priority.

Posting that AI video is an interesting choice for someone who is rumoured to be consistently using incontinence products and smelling of poo.

“Kind regards” if I’ve already told them twice and they still haven’t paid attention.

“Regards” when I’m properly cross.

Good thinking.

Don’t be burning any urine bags though. They’re actually useful.

Today marks yet another day that Speaker Mike Johnson has denied Adelita Grijalva her right to govern.

She won her special election on Sept 23rd but has yet to be sworn in.

Why? Because she will become the 218th vote needed to discharge the release of the Epstein files.

Say her name.

Hit me with your best pumpkin recipes.

We’ve got a few of these kicking around…

A tall child is sitting on two ginormous pumpkins in a kitchen. The pumpkins are each probably around the size of a medicine ball.

the academic development was prioritised over emotional development.

There’s also part of me marvelling that 24 year old “junior doctors” are told they’re too young and inexperienced to understand life, and yet here we have an actual child….

I think there’s a big difference between 15yos in a care home providing personal care and a 13yo learning all the ways the body tries to die.

What worries me is that there aren’t many children who could pass these exams this young without significant coaching, and that makes me wonder whether

Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.

Emily @docbotch.bsky.social · 23d

That’s bananas. How on earth is a child supposed to deal with the emotional side of medicine? It’s not a zero sum game. People die. It’s very emotionally tough.

I would suspect that a child with the intellectual ability to pass exams to get in to medical school has not gained the emotional maturity

I am NOT a runner and so this is a very real challenge for me. I’m doing it while pushing either my 8kg 8month old or my leggy 18kg 3yo.

Any and all donations will be very warmly welcomed and appreciated!
