WORST STOAT (badstoat)

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever seen, which I encountered in the form of women’s bathroom graffiti: “Don’t be a little bitch. Be a HUGE bitch.” Reach for the stars, baby.

@BoobyJargon @baddestmamajama Oh? I had a hemorrhagic stroke in January less than 24h after the end of a Covid infection and nearly died. The neuro ICU was massively, unusually full at the time, almost as if something was causing a surprising number of strokes at the peak of winter Omicron infections.

@baddestmamajama eh for all intents and purposes, the pandemic is pretty much done

It is ongoing. And events that don’t take that into consideration are exclusionary. Even if they’re lefty events. But you knows, sneering at disabled and vulnerable people is always a hot look.

@_Eric_Reinhart Any humanities postgrad could write all of this in the blink of an eye, but we can’t afford med school or, often, survive the inhumanities (lol) of residency. A lot of us would probably be pretty good doctors, so, it’s too bad medicine’s so structurally inaccessible as a field.

Studies have repeatedly shown that US medical training reduces people’s ability to empathize and effectively communicate with others. This story is testament to that reality and to the fact that we need an overhaul of medical school admissions criteria and training norms.

@AmyClukey I got taken seriously not even a little until I went to a Long Covid clinic Docs not specializing in it just don’t know

@lurkerstongues @literElly By which I just mean — he didn’t have fat stacks to buy a 400k house he was hiding from the tweeps.

@lurkerstongues @literElly No idea what his house was worth 3 years ago but nowhere near 400k if that’s what it sold for now

@Cloudy_Aperture @lisa_ledford @midhmar @eeberquist Dinners. :) He makes one third of all meals.

@lisa_ledford @midhmar @eeberquist It would appear so. He even does many of the things one of an outmoded patriarchal mindset would say is "traditionally a woman's job" such as grocery shopping, cooking all the meals and doing his own laundry. Like, I'm not sure what else the poor guy could do here.

@AnneYBrintonPhD They are making a Spell

@AmyClukey It’s my 10th grade math teacher teaching it, too. The classroom has institutional linoleum squares, a real chalkboard w/ chalk, and those terrible 1960s(?) all wood deskchair desks. The tiny ones. Sometimes in this dream for no reason there is a truly giant aquarium in the room.

@AmyClukey Two nights ago I dreamed I was on the verge of failing to get my PhD bc I couldn’t pass collefe algebra, my final requirement

@AmyClukey oh OKAY

@probirding don’t call me :)

@probirding Sure, focus on the complicity of the absent—such a comforting way of avoiding having to really do anything or address how completely in collaboration our own lives are. And if anyone disagrees, tar them with the same brush, babe. Let’s call it the Crucible maneuver.

@probirding @NettieEmm @literElly Just keep repeating your original argument people have already explained the flaws in and maybe you will eventually drive everyone off and be left alone with… I’m not sure, actually, but good luck with your whole project!

@probirding @NettieEmm @literElly ooh, compelling rejoinder
