Personal News: I am on a leave of absence from Georgetown until April 2023. This is my plan for the next few weeks. Some fiction, some non-fiction that’s still health related (but not health insurance related), and chocolate. Check out this 🧵to follow my colleagues’ work

I remember going to high holiday services at a nearby university while growing up because our synagogue was burned down in an antisemitic act of hate.

@lakeyamcgillphd @NAPainSchool Excitement. Maple syrup is a marvelous thing. And I only like vodka and tequila.

@DaniaPal @NAPainSchool Did you feel disappointment or excitement in this case!? Lol

Really enjoyed today's activities @NAPainSchool, including learning about entrepreneurship, eating at Sugar Shack (i.e., maple syrup on everything), and preparing for our upcoming scientific debate! #NAPainSchool

@DocZing We also still have the darn issue that there’s only one of us with Canadian citizenship… But that shouldn’t impact you finding a cure for hypermobility.

@DaniaPal We're getting close to a plan! Just need to figure out how to cure hypermobility, run a practice, medically direct a research organization and run an educational company remotely.

Looks like this is going to be a summer tradition

@DocZing We can winter in Costa Rica.

@DaniaPal I got engaged in Toronto :). But it was freezing!!!

As an Indigenous woman and an attorney, I am used to heartbreak. We wake up to fight in the “iron-cold” of the law every day, knowing the scales rarely tip in our favor. But today, in this moment, we celebrate the #SCOTUS decision in Brackeen v. Haaland that upholds #ICWA. 🧵

@DocZing He cannot begin the process of applying for Canadian citizenship until he has lived in Canada for a number of years. And I prefer Toronto.

@DaniaPal 1. You have to complete your husbands Canadian citizenship first 2. Marrying each others husbands prob makes the most sense 3. We will need a multi family home, but that means cost sharing for pool, hot tub, sauna! 4. I prefer the west coast :)

@DocZing But they won’t be able to come with us to Canada!

@DaniaPal They can get married, too!!!

@DocZing I’m not sure that our husbands would approve of that plan.

@DaniaPal Damn! Will you marry me???

@DocZing I do have dual citizenship.

@DaniaPal Move to Canada?

possibly a weird thing to be happy about, but I just had an amazing, informative doctor's appointment that was totally free (thanks Obama)

@mirandayaver I may silently judge you every time you tweet about the Yankees

@AlekaGurel Lost binkies live in the land of lost socks.

@AlekaGurel All I can say about pacifiers, is if you have trouble weening a child off using pacifiers when the time comes, it can really help if you just happen to lose all the remaining pacifiers that have not yet been lossed.

@AlekaGurel But what are their feelings on glow in the dark pacifiers?

@beckawall You want to switch it to only circulate indoor air if you need it on today. If it’s a window unit, it will have a vent that can be closed. It is definitely not filtering it all.

@DaniaPal we do have an AC unit that brings air in from outside :( But it has a filter, so hopefully it's not bringing in too much from outside.

Ok how is it possible that even inside I am feeling the smoke irritation 😩

@DiShoh @beckawall Only if the a/c is circulating indoor air. It’s important to make sure a window unit has the damper closed, something I never even knew about before I googled this week and that any central units are not set to bring in outdoor air.

@beckawall Close your windows, turn on your a/c. Any filtering helps

@jrovner As someone isolating in a bedroom without central a/c, I am very happy with the current temperature.

what's most annoying about this smoke (other than the obvious health hazard) is that it's an otherwise super-comfortable June day out there.
