When you are treated poorly you can either grow bitter or grow in Christlikeness.

sometimes we make Christ look bad by attaching His name to our unChristlike behaviors. no one is perfect but we need to do better

Remember not to stoop to others’ level while defending your stance or calling someone out. Representing Christ by what we say and do doesn’t take a backseat when we’re upset.

One day we’ll have like 9 seasons of Abbott Elementary to binge repeatedly the same way we have The Office and I love that for us

Everyone take a quick minute today to pause from the doom scrolling, take a deep breath and reflect on how fortunate you are. You’re alive, have a roof over your head, have a full belly, and will likely go to sleep peacefully tonight. Don’t take the small things for granted.

Just leaving the ER. It was a long day. And a stunning amount of Covid. Today I worked in an area that was temporarily converted into a makeshift ICU during the first COVID wave. Here’s what different from then. And also what challenges we’re facing with this surge in NYC: 🧵

Alternative headline: "Underinvestment in school/childcare infrastructure, work protections, and public health measures forces parents to send sick kids to school so they don't lose their jobs, homes, or health insurance dragging the pandemic out & causing needless death"

Breaking News: The WHO approved the first ever malaria vaccine, which could save tens of thousands of children in sub-Saharan Africa. The quest for this vaccine has been underway for a hundred years, a WHO official said, and is a "historic event." nyti.ms/3oxUgAy

Ah, to be as confidently wrong as a Silicon Valley software engineer. The author of this viral thread is amazed that a vaccine study found similar rates of COVID-like illness in vax & unvax. Almost like having COVID symptoms is a prerequisite for entry into a TEST NEGATIVE STUDY.

Some folks think covid puns are really funny. Sorry to break it to you but they R0.

Incidentally, this is a great example of the problem of establishing causal consistency in settings with interference — we cannot ask “what is the effect of vaccines” and get a simple answer because other people’s choices affect our risk

Well, if you’re in the US & want a booster, you can get one now. Vaccines are one of the best inventions humanity has ever made, IMO. But don’t be surprised when boosting the 55% of Americans who are fully vaccinated doesn’t end the pandemic. washingtonpost.com/outlook/corona…

My 12-year-old had appendicitis. The ER was overwhelmed with unvaccinated Covid patients and we had to wait 6+ hours. While waiting, his appendix ruptured and had to spend 5 days in hospital; just got hmo bill of $5000. So yeah, your decision to not vaccinate does affect others.
