"Stupid men and their stupid violence, tearing apart everything good that was ever built. Why couldn’t you ever just go after your life without tripping over some idiot’s dick?" - 📚 The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai

Imagine not finishing a major work project by its deadline. And THEN taking a week off. And THENN still getting paid. Madness.

Currently reading Tom Lake by Ann Patchett. My apologies to Ms. Patchett. I didn't know how strong her game is. I thought this book would be cheesy, weepy... but I am inVESTed.

If the Dept of Defense is changing to the Dept of War, does that mean defense contractors are now war contractors? 🤔

I work with a lot of newly immigrated patients and one of my favorite things is telling them, "We're so happy to have you here in Virginia."

NEW: The Trump administration said their research did not "enhance health, lengthen life, or reduce illness." Thousands of scientists disagreed. We heard from +150 researchers impacted by the NIH grant terminations on what is being lost in the cuts. 🧵👇 projects.propublica.org/nih-cuts-res...

More than 10,000 people in Los Angeles, California marched against the Trump regime and his ICE ethnic cleansing operations targeting US communities and families nationwide. #3E #StopICE (🎥 @btnewsroom.bsky.social )

Saw a video posted by @washingtonpost.com of National Guard using teargas on demonstrators ... and it is the weakest thing I've ever seen. It is embarrassing.

Starting off June with - "The Push" by Ashley Audrain - "The Utopia of Rules" by David Graeber Also planning to revisit "The Three Body Problem." Watched it on Netflix, but committed to reading the series. Happy reading this month #booksky 📚😎

May @thestorygraph.com Wrap-Up! #booksky

Good morning, I am either hormonal or reliving the lasting beauty of "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous" because I just cried over Ocean Vuong's interview with Oprah. OPRAH.

America's Got Talent but it's scientists whose research lost federal funding

@washingtonpost.com and @cnn.com did not pass the vibe check for reporting ICE and local police departments' gross civil rights violations in Newark and Worcester. Think pieces on the new Pope is not today's top story.

⭐️ 5/5 I will be reflecting on and rereading these pages for many years to come. Through Brown-Nagin's chapters, I looked back at the Civil Rights movement, reflected on the current state of civil rights, and (worriedly) pondered what the ongoing fight for justice in the US will entail #booksky

Whitney Houston's "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" but instead it's "Where Do Deleted OneDrive Docs Go"

The way I have been screaming this song at the top of my lungs as a coping mechanism since 2023

Another fantastic episode of The Pitt. It really captured the mental physical and emotional fatigue of the staff and patients.

I can't sing enough praises for Richmond VA bookstore Shelf Life Books. They post recs on their IG stories (shelflifebooksrva) and are a my #1 source for my To-Read pile. See screenshots of recent recs. They never disappoint. Check them out! #booksky #rva #shoplocal

Honestly came to see Mr. Milchick on S2 of Severance.

Not even a full two chapters, but wow. What an important book for the times. Highly recommend. Civil Rights Queen: Constance Baker Motley and the Struggle for Equality by Tomiko Brown-Nagin

Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.

Happy Back to Back Walton Goggins Day to all who celebrate. #RighteousGemstones #WhiteLotus

Hey #booksky, what are some good celebrity memoirs I should check out?

2nd book of the year done! Demi Moore's memoir, Inside Out I haven't read too many Hollywood memoirs, but this seems like an exceptionally good one. Moore's story is clear-headed & fascinating. I'm glad she put out her narrative, instead of having it be dictated by the media. 5/5 ⭐️ #booksky

Happy International Women's Day from Ada Limon

I'm open to diversity of thought and opinion, but you would hope an SNL host would be funny and/or talented.

Also the the attending yassification

I'm in the business of misery Let's take it from the top

Olivia Rodrigo's get him back! But instead Vote 'em out! for Republican voters

Elder millennials, i love us.

I've had a hard time getting into books the past few months. I started about 6 books, some that I was really looking forward to, but just couldn't get into it. But, I'm finally into a book! "Here We Go Again" by Alison Cochrun is a gem -in so many ways. #booksky 🏳️‍🌈

SNL’s quality ebbs and flows, but when it’s good… it’s great. Tonight was great. Every sketch was on point—Domingo, Bill Murray on Update, Eddie Murphy playing Tracy Morgan. Good shit. Here’s to another 50 years. #SNL50

Lil Wayne and the Roots healed me. #SNL50

Wally the Cue Card guy in his tux for #SNL50 😍

Still thinking about this opening sequence. Like. Howdeydoodat?
