those born before 2000, what's a small or once-common skill you have that hardly anyone uses today

miranda bailey wouldve slapped santos. cristina yang wouldve told mohan to become a vet.

we are really just being terrorized by billionaires who couldn’t imagine having even a little less money, even if it meant helping other people

Not to brag but a volvulus AND a perforated bowel were featured on the Pitt this week and my broken butt is feeling very ✨ seen✨

Since my special projects team was eliminated at The Washington Post, I'm looking to take on more reporting assignments. I mostly write about the US prison system & the many ways it impacts our lives. (I also write about books & culture on occasion.) ⬇️Here is some of my work:

Bill Clinton is testifying in front of Congress, everyone's obsessed with female ice skaters, there's a new Scream movie, the nineties are back baby!

a prime example of then/than misuse totally changing the meaning of a sentence

jaw dropped at the sight of this picture in the excellent WaPo Anthropic story from the other day: " ... a book warehouse that was alleged to play a role in Anthropic’s Project Panama, its project to scan, digitize and destroy millions of books"

@aliciaandrz Thank you! Appreciate you reading it

@msmacb I loved this.

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN: "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
