Roller derby. Club Rugby. Olympic style weightlifting.

Iโ€™m not condoning it - but the combination of Tamiflu, Medrol, Adderall, caffeine gave me literally the most productive day of my entire life today.

I discharged my entire patient list. Safely.

Also to the doctor that tweeted at me that Iโ€™m a butcher for doing trans care and then promptly deleted it:

Most of my life, Iโ€™ve been told Iโ€™ve got a Disney villain laugh.

Today I embraced my laugh. I AM the evil Queen that the red hats fear. I AM the gay doc taking care of the trans folx, turning boys into girls and girls into boys.

If anyone deserves to be able to cackle like Ursula, itโ€™s me.

That moment when you realize that these bodybuilding accounts with the โ€œgiantโ€ dumbbells, are actually lifting less weight and reps than you did earlier in the dayโ€ฆ

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Because that's not how America works.

I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.
YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.

After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered.

Dr. JoAnn Leong is a pioneer. One of the mothers of retrovirology. Her name belongs alongside Montagnier, Barrรฉ-Sinoussi, Gallo, and Levy. Her impact is realโ€”and deserves the recognition history hasnโ€™t fully given her.

She later pivoted to marine virology, where she became a global leader. Dr. Leong developed the first DNA vaccine for fish, saving salmon industries worldwide. Her innovations shaped fish health, aquaculture, and viral vaccine science for humans and animals alike.

Her work with Dr. Jay Levy (who later co-discovered HIV) laid critical groundwork for human retrovirus research. Without it, HIVโ€™s discovery wouldโ€™ve been far harder. Butโ€”like many women of color in scienceโ€”her name is rarely part of the history.

I want to talk about one:

Before HIV was discovered, scientists were still asking: Do retroviruses even exist in humans?
In the 1970s, Dr. JoAnn Leongโ€”a woman of color in virologyโ€”helped answer that. Her research proved human tissues contained reverse transcriptase, the key enzyme of retroviruses.

Hard to believe I'm siding with the guy who spent $300 million to get Trump elected, but he's not wrong:

Republicansโ€™ plan to run up the national debt to hand out giant tax breaks to billionaires will be an economic disaster.

Right now in Maryland, there's a mom whose son relies on lifesaving chemotherapy treatments. She told me that if he loses access to his health insurance, it would be a "death sentence."

If this bill passes, people will die.

Keep calling. Keep fighting. We must stop this bill.

The gay researchers, the female researchers, the researchers who were persons of color? Basically everybody that was left out of the narrative by the straight white men?

Does anyone else ever think about the unsung heroes of HIV research? The researchers that provided the first evidence of reverse transcript test activity, the ones that basically invented the viral incubation media, the ones that helped take the electron microscope pictures?
