Caturday naps are the best naps 😻

My PCP got little white noise fans to help privacy and it's stupid how much I appreciate them, but also I would love options for calming sounds in addition to the things you mentioned. Give me cool stickers and something to fidget with (and keep) and my blood pressure might be normal not elevated

I meant third neuro-ophthalmogist technically- two worked together tho. First one said they couldn't help me

Went thru primary, (unfortunately) chiropractor, ENT, regular opthalmologist, neurosurgery, vascular, and neurology first plus specialist opthalmologist and psychiatrist after/during

hell yeah

I don't get up to investigate strange noises. They're all coming from my body.

Ooof as someone who went through 3 specialists and all the freaking neuro-ophthalmogy tests, solidarity.

Mine's bilateral CN6 palsy that was tentatively diagnosed as CN3/CN4 problems, but the 3 surgeries helped some and proved the CN6, so I kinda get it. If you ever want to chat hmu 🫂

This was the best thing about doing post op visits in my 20s at the children's hospital. The fish tanks in the waiting rooms. The huge rube-goldberg machine in the lobby. Like at least let us stare at something besides the tiny TV mounted way too high and greige everything

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

when nobody ordered you anything from the ramen place

Cute little boo

It was really cool how the birds behaved during the eclipse, and so neat to see citizen science on it!

🚨Just heard from a world leader: "We have a global pandemic of politicians, organizations, and other non-medical institutions interfering with the medical profession."

Artist Michelle Browder’s 'Mothers of Gynecology' project is an act of resistance, challenging the silences around the ugly history of medical apartheid's impact on Black women. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Hey, are you today’s date? Because you’re 10/10.

Look at this guy. 🥹

Trying not to get pissed off about things that are not important right now.

Knock knock
Who's there?

Eeyore who?
Eeyore starting at my ears, aren't you?

Great analogy on a meeting rn:
Hydrangeas need a lot of water in the summer, cactus, none.

Some employees/colleagues are hydrangeas and need a lot of tending. Some people are cactus and just want to be left alone to do their job.

This is true of so many people and is situational.
