Imagine not being from the US and watching this as part of our presidential election process

Rupi Kaur is the Taylor Swift of poetry. I will not be explaining further. #rupikaur

@NickDiFabio1 this tweet is the most late-stage-capitalism-coded thing I have ever seen...

Don't have time to read books? No worries, I got you (again). Here are 1-minute video summaries for the 10 most popular fiction books:

One of my favorite quotes, from one of my favorite books.

NEJM has put out 3 separate pieces of anti-wellness content in the last few weeks. Here’s the problem with their thesis - duty hour limitations are not a wellness intervention. They are a workers rights issue along with low wage labor, FMLA, and maternity leave.

@jbcarmody Thank you for doing's the Lord's work with this!!!

How the AAMC leadership let things get to the point where their entire business model became dependent on extracting money from desperate residency applicants is simply an astounding feat of mismanagement. Now, any alternative application system threatens their very existence.

If you didn’t believe me when I said that the loss of ERAS revenue is an existential threat for the AAMC, take a look at this ‘not for circulation’ e-mail they sent to medical school deans, urging them to keep program directors from switching to another application system. (🧵)

My love language is strangers asking me to watch their stuff at the library/coffee shops

Thinking about statistics while working on research gives me vertigo.

When SZA said "I hate being perceived." I felt that.

There is much discourse about gleaning life advice from the regrets of others (the dying, the accomplished, the disappointed). But I question the value in synthesizing advice from regrets; as a general rule, I try to capture lessons from what people categorically don't regret.

@Culture_Crit Wow so many women on this list of yours! We must not have anything interesting to say :)

Working in medicine has extinguished any prior belief I've had that karma is real. Bad things happen to good people and some bad people never get their comeuppance. Anyone else struggle with this realization and its constant reminders in medical exposure? #MedTwitter

In my Canadian residency, I get 20 vacation days, 10 study days, and 7 conference days/year. This, I'm learning, is much more humane that what is offered to my American friends/counterparts. I'm grateful, but this contrast further brings the American system into sharp relief.

Can Android users just not

Being a junior resident feels like being a jack of no trades, master of none. 🙃

@krobz it is and yet somehow I still chew loudly!

I am a loud chewer who cannot stand other loud chewers. This is my truth and yes, I am a hypocrite.

@oneawkwardmom in my nightmares of course!

I don’t understand people who can fall asleep immediately, when do you do all of your panicking and overthinking?

When I was a medical student and people asked me what I did for work, I oftentimes would just respond that I am a professional test-taker.
