I love NYC so much.

Contax T3 and Kodak 400 UltraMax (I think…gotta pick up the negatives.)

I grew up with Alex Pretti www.theverge.com/policy/86856...

I’m truly appreciative of The Verge and taking a stand for something more.

The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by federal agents was my childhood best friend.

Photographed my friend’s wedding (first time) while also being a pseudo-bridesmaid (she didn’t have formal bridesmaids). Mostly on film, but some of the digital photos are turning out okay.

Listen to this. If you have even a shred of humanity left in you, you’ll probably cry. Molly Conger is fantastic and deserves all of the listens. All of’em.

“Thanks for the hard work everyone! We were able to onboard record numbers of scabs instead of simply meeting reasonable demands!”

No, I’m not going to be a scab and help with nursing duties despite the patient care guilt trip.

Give them what they are owed.

It is legit insane that heavily armed men carrying rifles w/ at least 3 mags and a sidearm with probably 2 additional mags are strolling around US cities enforcing what are generally misdemeanors.

The best part about being on call right now is that I have an easy excuse as to why I’m not doing anything for NYE.

It is increasingly difficult to mask my disdain for the “all gas, no brakes” approach to AI in radiology/healthcare, as well as the complete unwillingness to earnestly address or even consider the long term negative consequence.

During peak COVID lockdowns, @arloparks.music-social.com was an artist who got me through a lot of the loneliness & it was truly an awesome experience to finally see her live.

Randomly ending up at a concert party where one of my favorite musicians of the last few years is DJ’ing is just another reason why I love NYC.

Maturity and growth is searching for a more polite word than “circle jerk” to describe something in a professional email.

I’m very proud of myself. Old Emma probably just would’ve let’er rip.

I got called a “main customer” at Russ and Daughters today after one of the employees saw me enter to pick up my order and it may be the single most flattering thing anyone has said to me.

My favorite thing to watch lately is how many Republicans are arguing that pedophilia is a spectrum while simultaneously screaming that gender & sex are binary.

As a trans woman athlete, it is really painful to throw away a bunch of sports equipment because I know I’ll never be allowed to play again.

Med students, residents, & attendings: You’re never too good to help other people & there is no job or task that is beneath you. This doesn’t mean an obligation to do endless scut, but just be a good citizen. Those techs, nurses, & others are your team members & can teach you A LOT.

So, this is what it feels like to feel some kind of hope and excitement? It is a curious sensation. Forgot what it was like.

Just a normal Brooklyn fall afternoon.

Being incapable of accepting compliments, I never really believe anyone who tells me I’m a good photographer or that most of my stuff is that good, but I’m actually kinda proud of many of my photos over the last week. #photography #streetphotography

No matter how hard the right wing tries, they will never be able to compete with the sheer creative talent of people on the left.

Today for @theverge.com, I talk about transfem narratives: the epistemic lockout from mainstream publishing, the advantages and pitfalls of the self-pub model, and what a global transmisogynistic panic implies for our ability to make our voices heard and represent our own lives and worlds.
Trans women are building their own publishing world, and it’s under threat
Online communities are stepping in where traditional publishing stops.

The medical note phrasing “complains of” really bothers me.

It isn’t a complaint or some trivial grievance being aired. It is their experience.

Especially silly with trauma. “C/O of stab wound”….that’s a thing that happened.

Every now and then I walk through somewhere in my neighborhood and have a really magical experience with a sense of community where I’m reminded why I love NYC.

Had that in Tompkins Square Park this morning.
