Day job: Therapist in L.A. Sometimes United Nations & Red Cross Disaster Responder. Learning to play guitar with my daughter. Transplant recipient ❤️ Recovered academic @DrKristie at the other place. Seems I have 5 raccoons. Happy to be here.
I hope some of you head over to x to have a rational discussion about what Americans are supposed to do about healthcare for their families.
Let’s leave the add on topics for other posts. It’s critical and needs fact checking for all Americans regardless of political interest. (Same username) ⏰
Is anyone attempting to have real conversations with voters about healthcare? I’ve seen a little bit on X, where I hope some of you will commit to facts based posts that lack memes.
Who loves Jacarandas in Los Angeles? 🖐️
Meeeeee
They replied with a nice message-we don’t have to publish it, they are just trying a new tool. Not to downgrade my own work but I’m not sure how it translates to riveting podcast material 😆 #academia
I sent a message to Academia.edu to ask for an explanation. I’ll update if and when I get a response. 🤖
Wait, so do you know what this is? Got it in my email yesterday 🚩
Can someone explain this to me? I have questions.
Did Claude do it? Did Gemini do it? ChatGBT? Deep Seek? Just…why Academia?
Best view in Los Angeles. 💦 🌧️
I’m hoping this is the place that stays the place ❤️
Today, I’m focusing on my neighborhood and what I can do here. Currently deployed locally with the Red Cross while tracking erratic air quality and awaiting next round of wind. #lafires

If you’re not the adult-coloring book type, you can catch a similar zen by contributing to mapping projects that help responders on the ground. @openstreetmap.bsky.social
Yes, with a massive data breach that I just received a notification on today. It happened in February.
PSA: United Healthcare’s Optum buys Change Healthcare for $13B, now a massive data breach exposing our most sensitive info. We're racing to put Al in healthcare but can't secure patient data? +7 month delay in notification .
My recent procedure had the anesthesia covered, but not the actual procedure, only a consult. 🧐
I’m not sure how I did it myself!
What happens when you accidentally label your own post with a caution? I can’t figure out how to remove it @bsky.app 😆
Patients often don’t know what care they’re entitled to under state law. One survey found 86% of people with insurance don’t know which government agency to call for help.
Knowing how to navigate the system can make all the difference.
I’m s there a “block all” function?
Wait, what is with the 15% off “Black Friday deals”?
When everything is cleaned up 🧹.
Oh yay, I thought I was going to have to find everyone from scratch!

Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social. Your work is making it safer (and more fun) to spend time online again. I was able to cross check followers easily!
Thank you for this.
It’s nicer here. I hope it stays that way
Welcome 😆
Anyone else fake tree fluffing for the holidays today?
You’ll be in the category I was just talking about. ✅ I think it’s going to be more of an issue for X than is being talked about (still “there” but not really).
