Not going to lie, having to learn all these new social media platforms (while all are unique, good, and buggy in their own way) is flipping exhausting. I just want to post my cat pics/educate people without worrying about being harassed…why must this be such an impossible ask?

It’s been a hectic few weeks. We’re all stressed before the holidays. So…take a minute and breathe #mentalhealth #cute #breathe

News of the bivalent booster #covid #vaccine for <5 being released next month is good news...but I worry specifically with Pfizer parents who we've urged to complete their 3x primary series that this approval will feel like we are penalizing them as they won't be eligible for the bivalent dose. Conflicted about the situation...

Things I’ve done in preparation as #thanksgiving host:
➡️ extra rapid tests and asking guests to test before coming
➡️ extra kn95
➡️ portable HEPA air filters in dining area
➡️ window will be cracked
➡️ hand sanitizer everywhere

It’s not just about #COVID when you have folks coming from all over with kids. (All are vaccinated/boosted). Taking precautions from the other lovely bugs out there.

To my colleagues and other #medtwitter friends here, how do you build resilience for yourself when burnout/imposter syndrome kicks into high gear?

It has been a huge struggle for me the past few weeks in developing this educational content for dengue and I worry I might be hitting that impenetrable wall.

Gun violence

Things that are not normal:
➡️ teaching children where to hide in case of a shooting
➡️ teaching every day individuals how to apply compression on gunshot wounds
➡️ mentally making note of quickest emergency exits in any space
➡️ explaining to others “this is the best we can do”

We are failing as humanity when we’ve become numb to the tragic shootings

Sharing this piece from @ct_bergstrom on the importance but peril of science communication the past few years. This is where I think #mastodon could hopefully provide that soft reset of the mounting toxicity in engaging in a constructive way that benefits everyone. A must read for all.
