LMAO BUSY? I mean depends on the location I suppose. ERs are NOT like they look on TV. And it depends on the shift you’re working. For the most part aint SHIT happening in there

I am having a GREAT morning. I have 2 croissants from PJ’s, someone just gave us $180,000 in grant funding the next 3 years, my boobs and waist look PHENOMENAL since Ive been losing weight, my house is clean, and I’m back at work today!

I stopped getting my nails professionally done because of this. Gel nail polish is EXTREMELY harmful to the human body. They’re making all nail salons throw out every product. No sell off period.

YALL! I knew my God would not let me down. After our interview, a representative of an anonymous donor is both renewing and INCREASING a grant to my nonprofit @ThurmanPerryFDN: $180,000 over the next 3 years. SCHOLARSHIPS, RENT, AND TAMPONS ON US Y’ALL! I am in overflow.

I didnt say the doctors I worked for mistreated patients. Not to their faces anyway. They would just do things like walk immediately out of the room and laugh that a patient’s little girl looked “inbred” or claim they needed a patient to “finish miscarrying” to free up a room

If you are a woman who needs money for school, apply through my nonprofit The Thurman Perry Foundation on 11/15 at ThurmanPerryFoundation.org We are awarding $50,000 ($10,000 each) to women nationwide

It took $130,000 of grad plus loans for me to become an epidemiologist. Loans that I’m within shooting distance of paying back 6 years after graduation. Ive never regretted my education especially as one of the only Black students in the program at Tulane. Im hurt there wont be more girls like me
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH (@geauxgabrielle.bsky.social)
And somewhere along the way TV has convinced people that doctors will work around the clock to fix you when you’re broken. Girl. I used to work in an emergency room. It’s nothing but sociopaths making fat jokes and laughing at you & your Medicaid card in there.

CAPTAIN AMERICA AINT A COMEDY THOUGH! Thats the thing. And he also dont have the tough guy acting chops to be an action star. Marvel is the only lane he shines in.
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH (@geauxgabrielle.bsky.social)
He’s funny if you know he’s pretending to be Freddie Prinze Jr. 😂😂😂
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH (@geauxgabrielle.bsky.social)
THIS TOO. Halle Berry talked about this. Sometimes you just in a BAD movie with a bad script. But you cant tell me Chris Evans is an acting COMEDIC SAVANT
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH (@geauxgabrielle.bsky.social)
The problem is he’s SO pretty people think he CAN do any role. And thats why folk be copping pleas for him. He aint got no personality!
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH (@geauxgabrielle.bsky.social)
HE AINT THE STAR OF THAT SHIT LMAO. Thats an ensemble cast. It aint hard to be funny if 50 bitches next to you funny. He alone is NOT

I was really scared the publisher would make me take out the chapter where I talked about almost shooting a man dead through the door of my mama’s house and then hiring a private investigator to help me terrorize him and his family. Nope. They let me cook 😂
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH (@geauxgabrielle.bsky.social)
Honey, Don’t is getting bombed to hell in movie reviews and I’ll say the problem out loud. Chris Evans did ONE funny movie 20 years ago (Not Another Teen Movie) and because he’s pretty, everybody decided he could try his hand at comedy every 5 or so years and it BOMBS. EVERY. TIME. He is NOT funny

The Philippines is on the verge of something similar with there being a social reckoning on how women are treated SPURRED by the fact that there is an epidemic level of 10 to 14 year old girls being pregnant in their extremely Catholic, anti-sex ed country

Stereotypes around womanhood the world over are extremely interesting Particularly around Eastern European women who made a CONCERTED effort socially to buck against the idea that you can come to their country and a buy a woman as a slave and call her a “wife.” They worked as a COUNTRY against that

That is SOME vaccines and not all of them. AND that’s if you do absolutely everything perfectly and are also not exposed to the pathogen during the 2 weeks it takes to have your immune system create an immune response. AND you STILL have the risk of breakthrough infection even then

This was the absolute hardest thing about writing my book. It’s why the first few chapters sucked and I didnt hit a stride til chapter 5 or so (we’re correcting that in edits lol) No one had ever asked me what I felt about the things I had experienced until Hachette.

THANK YOU!!!! And I’ve already trained myself to look really closely at men’s tattoos because there’s so many covert symbols now. There was a fucking Latino man at my Spanish class at the community center with those Nazi ruins on his arm!
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH (@geauxgabrielle.bsky.social)
He’s shirtless in EVERY photo and you can see it from EVERY angle. He wanted people to see it

Thats not how racism works. He wants to harm me.
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH (@geauxgabrielle.bsky.social)
I wouldve never swiped on him anyway because he looks like a foot but the tattoo is HUGE and is visible as soon as you see his photo. His body is in every photo and he’s not wearing a shirt. He WANTS it to be seen! I just screenshot and put it in the group chat
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH (@geauxgabrielle.bsky.social)
I am so absolutely unnerved. Because to be PROUD of a Nazi tattoo and for it to not even be one of the covert ones but just OPEN is sick. And to be trying to match with MY Black ass is CRAZY
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH (@geauxgabrielle.bsky.social)
A white man with a fucking HUGE SWASTIKA tattoo on his lower right abdomen just tried to match with me on a dating app. I do not know what in the fuck this world is coming to.

I dont understand your question but if you’re asking if immunocompromised people need to take extra precautions, yes. Ex. 1 in 10 people who already have heart disease or a heart condition will die of COVID if exposed to/contracting the pathogen.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH (@geauxgabrielle.bsky.social)
Keep in mind, while this is a good start, this won’t save Illinois. Vaccines are not cures. They are preventative tools that require a certain percentage of the population to ALSO be vaccinated to achieve the desired effect. If a population dips below a certain threshold, we cannot fight diseases
