On vacation, and just saw that my #womeninmalefields Reel about vasectomies is continuing to trigger some... interesting responses! 👀

I'm not even going to make a joke, because if hundreds of men thought I was insulting them by saying what women are told *all the time*, the joke's on all of us. 😵‍💫

Hello! I'm still figuring things out over here, but I'd left X right when Elon took over. 😂 It does seem more friendly and sane on 🦋 so far!

If nothing else, check out the article for this massive photo of me looking contemplative in the shadows... 😄

Five Questions to Ask Your Doctor When Weighing a Hysterectomy Many patients are confused about what their surgeons are planning. Here’s how to get the details.

There's also a sidebar where I give recommendations for what to ask your doctor if you're considering a hysterectomy!

Honored to be interviewed for this article in the @nytimes.com on hysterectomies! It's shocking how often patients don't get a full explanation of the surgery and what it entails.

This is why I included a full chapter on hysterectomies in my book, It's Not Hysteria!

Thank you for recommending It's Not Hysteria! I was honored to be interviewed for the NYT article, it's unbelievable how often patients don't get full explanations of what will happen during a hysterectomy. 🥺 It's why I included a whole chapter on hysts in the book!

That's part of the problem - I've searched for 5 people that I love, but none were on here 😅. I know lots of people are, but it made me stop searching for a while!

Ok, I have to admit: having all my Instagram followers / accounts followed automatically import into Threads made life a lot easier when starting that platform. 😅

I've heard great things about Bluesky, but having to individually search for people is tew much for my old, tired butt.

Ha! I just joined, and am too lazy to search for more than a handful of people I know on here. Hi! 😉

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I just cried my eyes out watching Wicked. 🥹

Lora!! Hi! 🥰🥰🥰

Love it! I was only on Twitter for a hot second before the toxicity drove me off. 😄

😂 I understood the sweet intent, and it did not come off stalker-y at all, ha!
