The importance of context:

I thought my teenager put away the food last night and I was touched- even though I had to redo it bc there was no lid on anything.

Then I found out that my husband actually did it and I’m annoyed… bc there was no lid on anything. 😏

Perfect!!!!

You won’t hear that from me!

I can do some medical dramas- even when I know the medicine is wrong- but not psychology.
Everybody in my family loves Shrinking- I watched one episode. 🫣🤯

My husband is a scientist- a cellular biologist- same for him.
🤷🏻‍♀️ what can you do? 😏

I’m a neuropsychologist & I’m watching the show Patience on Britbox.
A brilliant young woman with autism helps the police solve crimes.
But the part that stretches my credulity is that the police officer’s son has to be tested for ADHD/ autism & they get the written results back within 12 hours 🤣😂

I hope so - so so much.

I am a pediatric neuropsychologist & my eighth grade Math teacher laughed when I shared that I was going to a magnet HS.

I’ve never been good at the numbers part of math, but I did use multinomial logistical regression for my dissertation. 😏
Now I work with kids to build them up.
Show the haters

I thought this was satire.
I know the GOP is a bunch of spineless traitorous worms, but … I mean, this should be a step too far, right?? even for spineless worms????????!

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

Very selective these “Christians”

Along the same lines-
Us: “ it sets the premise first with A well regulated militia…”

Them- “what are you talking about????”

She was a wise wonderful woman whom we should all emulate.

I say we carry out her last wishes - out of respect.

Dr Twinmom @drtwinmom.bsky.social · 4d

It’s not necessary to pay our salary which we aren’t getting bc of their corruption???🤬🤬

The level of loathing I feel is hard to express.

Dr Twinmom @drtwinmom.bsky.social · 4d

So you might have cancer.
We’ll know whether or not you do and whether or not it’s serious in a week when we get the biopsy results back…

These are among the most sadistic words said by the medical profession on a daily basis.
Fuck me.
And fuck them!
See yall at 2 am when I can’t sleep again.

Someone happily married to a scientist (albeit a currently furloughed one)…. lucky you 🤓💕
Weird science nerds are great.

Dr Twinmom @drtwinmom.bsky.social · 5d

Me too 🤨

Dr Twinmom @drtwinmom.bsky.social · 5d

Of course it’s the republicans to blame…

but I can’t help but wonder if the answers would be different outside of a Walmart instead of a Whole Foods.

Happy birthday to me!!
Everyone who sees any of my posts can guess my birthday wish!

Dr Twinmom @drtwinmom.bsky.social · 7d

I saved to my task list!

Dr Twinmom @drtwinmom.bsky.social · 7d

We’re furloughed (so now only one paycheck 🙄) so no extra spending ironically- but if/ when husband starts getting paid again & IF he doesn’t get fired, I will buy this shirt.
Good shirt- great cause!

What everyone has said- I could argue that the writer means a stimulating environment- but also false. too broad.

ADHD kid in a straight lecture non preferred topic won’t do well

Genius 1st grader unlikely to learn in a riveting lecture on geopolitics.

All generalizations are stupid.
SWIDT?🤣

Dr Twinmom @drtwinmom.bsky.social · 10d

She’s freaking me out a bit with a few rational posts.
My brain cannot compute.

Dr Twinmom @drtwinmom.bsky.social · 10d

I think that would be great. I don’t know how it would work.
I work in a public school. I cannot not show up and have kids show up.
Same is true for hospitals /daycare- anywhere the care of people is involved you can’t not show up… I don’t know… I hate Trump. I don’t hate the kids.

Dr Twinmom @drtwinmom.bsky.social · 11d

I can’t believe that part of me is wishing for a military coup 🤯🤯🤯

Or aliens

Welp, please wish this family of "enemies from within" good luck surviving on one paycheck until the govt re-opens.

Unfortunately that could be a while I think.

We are luckier than many, I know! In the meantime, once my husband gets over the cold that I gave him, he's got a long honey-do list...

Dr Twinmom @drtwinmom.bsky.social · 11d

I didn’t know what a gullible, optimistic schmuck I was.

Thanks to Trump dark Kimberly is pretty much permanently in the driver’s seat.
But they keep hitting new lows.

Dr Twinmom @drtwinmom.bsky.social · 11d

You know the generals are made of strong stuff bc they held in the vomit that had to be rising in their throats listening to thus moron and his mango leader.
