#Macbeth at the @guthrietheater.bsky.social was 🔥🔥🔥 last night! The older man behind us saying loudly “Is that Lady Macbeth” and “What’s happening??” repeatedly & kicking our seat backs made it feel like a 1500s annoying theater crowd experience. Authenticity! 😆
Playing a very rudimentary version of “Ode to Joy” on the piano for the first time tonight while living in this timeline is WILD.
Sweet baby cat is being sweet
Sweet sleepy baby cat
Head and heart are aching. So anyway, here are a couple pictures of my cat being adorably sleepy. 🐈
Warm regards,
She typed
With ice-cold fingers

A sweet sprinkle of burnt sand
Swirled with white crystals
Each grain melts in spinning dough

Thrifting and #crafting day! Turned my husband’s old, sad-looking lamp into a lovely luminary ✨
Me at the Alfa Romeo dealership today (recall repair appt.): Would it kill these guys to smile and be friendly a little bit? 🙃
But alas.
The sole female staffer did smile at me, though. 👍🏽

Me: I’m not dramatic.
Also me, on day 7 of a bronchial thing, coughing up another lung: Welp, I’ve had a good run. 🫠 👋 ☠️
Usual Saturday or brunch and learn family med procedures? Car floors it toward the exit.
Anyone else getting excited for this event for #medstudents? It's on Sat., Sept. 6 in St. Paul! Learn procedures, meet with residency programs, and get free brunch 😀

Earlier I repeatedly clicked on a YouTube ad promoting yet another AI tool no one asked for—because I am a menace. 🤪

Cat under blanket
“I can’t EVEN right now.”—my cat
Thrashing branches slap
Against a moaning rooftop
Sodden rafters crack

A quick reminder to all doctors--there's this great field called clinical informatics. What is clinical informatics? To use the best definition, from Charles Friedman--it's to MAKE this equation true: A doctor with a computer > doctor alone.
Cat
If you’ve got cramps, a cat is going to jump onto your abdomen. I don’t make the rules.
No one could have possibly predicted this row between these two unstable megalomaniacs… 👀
Shout out to my beloved husband who loves me and wants to hang out with me even in my current scraggly-ass sickly unkempt disheveled hunched over and wobbly barely functioning wild-haired goblin state 🥰

No one:
Some road in Eagan: Hi, I’m Johnny Cake Soggy Apple Bottom Ridge Road 🤠
#Minnesota #DumbThingsIThinkAboutWhenImSick
I started rewatching the Three Mile Island documentary on Netflix tonight and thought of the parallels with the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Specifically how the men in charge in both cases cut corners for speediness, political gain, and cost savings. That M.O. led to the #Chernobyl accident itself. :(
I love my echo chamber where everyone values the humanity of other people and enjoys the arts.
Starting this tonight.
(In response to seeing a musician I like advertising that they’ll be performing at 10 pm on Saturday):
I like staying up late. But I like to be in bed while I’m staying up late. 🤷♀️
Hmm. Gotta say I don’t love the cheap feel and broken plastic on the new cellular shades. Pay more for lower quality? Cool 👍🏽 🫠
Upside: Easy to install.

Historic Hotel del Coronado - cocktails on the Sun Deck! Only one each because … oof … 🤑

This is so true.
Fluttering leaf falls
Onto a gleaming ice shard
Molten frost and rust

Things that show up on my dramatic car’s dashboard right after I finally pay it off (a periodic thread):
🚨 Maximum oil levels exceeded 🚨

This is a friendly reminder that library cards are free, and your local public library will never make you pay extra so you don't have to watch ads.
INCREDIBLE Ruling!
Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus.
Trans military members may continue to serve.
