You DESTROYED that ride. My quads are still sore!
Hey @coltsgal76.bsky.social I found you on @pelotonmed.bsky.social again! Big waves!!
It's amazing that journals think they can ask researchers to review manuscripts within 5 days, when it's all done for free.

“If it goes the way I hope, this is the start of a shift- a moment-“ -Jon Treem MD on the shared opportunity and responsibility of our community to help determine best interdisciplinary care plans for PC patients with long term eating disorders. #hapc25
“I hope that you are glad that you have each other…we like to pretend that we can live apart from one another, but that’s not the way life works.”
- Lucas Johnson on creating shared belonging #hapc2025
I didn’t expect such a beautifully touching and spiritual plenary. Wow.
“Sometimes when your back is against the wall, you can’t do it. But there are times you can find grace, and find reorientation together.” - Lucas Johnson #hapc2025
“We lose track of the fact that relationship is the point. We have this approach that if we just do this this and that, the problem will be solved. Our most intractable problems will not be solved that way. What we have to do is we have to reorient ourselves to each other.”- Lucas Johnson #hapc2025
On the attack of DEI- “We are diverse! How do we create a world in which everyone has dignity? We can let go of the words and just do the work.”
- Krista Tippett #hapc2025
Can they come back every year?
I love them.
“Uncertainty lands as stress and danger in our bodies…what you are called to do is live your way into the question: what is my calling in this moment? See what this question begs you to see and to turn away from.”
- Krista Tippett
Lucas Johnson just had us all take some deep mindful breaths together and acknowledge “We have been going through a lot. A LOT.”
I’ve caught myself holding my breath so many times in the past 24 hours.
Breathe in, breathe out.
#hapc2025
“You could describe our political life as an amygdala on the loose.”
- Krista Tippett
“When I look at the state of society through a human condition lens, what I see is a distressed nervous system on the human species level.” - Krista Tippett
Wow. Yes.
#hapc2025
Krista Tippett speaks of the work they do before a conversation to open the space for the conversation in “On Being.”
I have never seen a plenary speaker from whom I felt such love, respect and understanding. Well done, @aahpm.bsky.social @hpna-info.bsky.social #hapc2025
“All of us owe our lives to people who chose to be kind in moments of our aggression. I imagine we can all imagine moments in which we got much more grace than we deserved.”
-Lucas Johnson
Lucas Johnson from On Being reflecting on the work of #hapc clinicians- and the importance of this community for us. He imagines that it can be isolating and lonely (it can be) and how thrilled we are to see each other (profoundly). I feel seen. #hapc2025 @aahpm.bsky.social
#hapc2025 here we gooo! So thrilled to be here! #pedpc #palliativecare #hospice
She’s amazing!
Yet again I’d like to petition to take 3-4 days off the end of January and stick them on July.
Why is January like that.
Thrilled to learn that @cincychildrens.bsky.social is on BlueSky! Everyone follow to keep up to date on Children’s news! #WeAreCincyKids
Here’s another tip
Make your password something that reminds you to take a big ol deep breath.
It becomes Pavlovian.
Mindful breathing all day long.
Protect your mental health, friends.
🩷🧡💛💚🩵💜
Advice from my therapist:
Limit media exposure.
Do good works.
That’s it.
Protect your mental health, friends.
🩷🧡💛💚💙💜
