Countdown to #ACR25, the big rheumatology meeting in Chicago at the end of October.

Sharing some abstracts publicly available at www.acrabstracts.org along some themes of interest to me.

(Remember to mute #ACR25 if you don't want to be inundated with rheumatology posts!)

“When they try to describe this situation as ‘war-torn,’ it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.”

I was super into those line dances too. I can still do the dance to Leann Rimes’ One Way Ticket. But I wasn’t good enough to showcase, and they didn’t hide that fact

So now I’m going to dance the hell out of this Ophelia TikTok dance dammit

Did they do stuff like this

I have no coordination and they used to hide me in the back or make me sit out entirely when we did line dances and square dances during rodeo day in elementary school

So bless her for breaking it down slowly for someone like me

This is what I was telling @alisonbays.bsky.social about - the wall of algorithm-influenced negativity is so extreme and intense that even fans like us who love the album and are generally thick skinned against criticism are getting irked

This place is well insulated

Just don’t go in the discovery feed

Didn’t realize there was so much negativity until people on here complained about it

Meanwhile I still hold a grudge against some of my teachers 30 years later 😂

Sounds like you’re doing a great job!

I remember just idolizing some of my teachers, including my kindergarten teacher. To this day I cannot think of anything negative about her.

Luckily the mid 30s “don’t give a shit” attitude has hit, so I’m okay doing things I’m not good at, but have fun with. Like dancing. Or singing.

Oh but that’s exactly me. I don’t like doing things that I’m not immediately good at.

A federal judge in Chicago blocked President Trump from deploying National Guard troops in Illinois.

“I am very much struggling to figure out where this would ever stop,” said U.S. District Judge April M. Perry.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.
