Fluffy Golden doggo sleeping on her back with all feet up in the air on a loveseat. Her human has a laptop in her lap, and one arm on the sleeping doggo. The human is trying to re-read Lord of the Rings but is distracted by the adorable sleeping doggo

My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are:

Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job.

Thanks

There are no words for my rage and grief, but Alex was clearly an excellent RN.

Come for this horribly depressing graph about the state of America’s health and science agencies and stay for the heatmap from grant termination hell. Essential reading from @maxkozlov.bsky.social and colleagues

If you're talking the whole time you're taking a breathing treatment without stopping you're *not* short of breath, and you don't have to try to have the RN call me every hour for a PRN tx.

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time.

Time to claim your true history.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

idk what's going on with our supplies, but we've got a new batch of gloves...almost every time I reach for a pair they're already torn in the box. 😠 I've thrown away so many this week! Sick of putting on a pair and realizing that a finger is ripped to shreds.
