Loved this video, and was fortunate to catch the link for Reach Out & Read over on X so I’m hoping you cross post it over here, Dan!

Absolutely loved Murakami in high school; we were introduced to him in AP English and I devoured all his books over the next couple of years. Memories (and what a lovely husband). Merry Christmas to all of you! 🌲

Happy to see you on this space as well! Hoping it’ll be a much more positive and intelligent platform.

And if there’s anything you want to ask me about or discuss, I’m always open for mature, intellectual and respectful discussions! I hope this new space will be one of growth, celebrating each other’s successes and bolstering one another through tough times. Life is too short to be anything but kind.

Trans rights matter and I will die on this hill. I also am against assault weapons and support initiatives by Sandy Hook and other school shooting victims’ families to pass anti-weapons legislation. I support Ukraine. I believe in democracy. I love furbabies and things floofy. I choose the bear.

Human rights are important to me. So is equity in medicine, both for patients of color/LGBTQ patients, as well as mentoring students from disadvantaged backgrounds. I’m a supporter of #whitecoatsforblacklives. I believe no humans are illegal, and everyone deserves safety and access to health care.

Those are pretty darn cute

My goodness, do you have a recipe you could share for that beautiful pavé? This looks amazing.

Hi Tristan! Followed you for a long time on the Other Place before it got toxic. Glad to see you here and still posting wisdom and wit!

So glad to see you here dropping the wisdom and wit without the toxicity of the Other Place! 🎉

More or less keeping it together with coffee and Zoloft here. Sending you support and hugs. You aren’t alone, even if this is awful to go through.
