Eph, Health services research, emergency departments, health economics, regulatory science. #FirstGen I post a lot of pictures of my favorite cat and of our other cat, who I also love. And of Minneapolis!

Iām in the same position. I asked my mom not to ask me to take care of her.
Wise. My heart was pounding but I hid it from my kid.
Exactly. Why would all those people be waiting there if it was the wrong line, hmm?
if i pick the wrong line, and then waste my time there, and then have to go back to the long line anyway, i will implode like a dying star. i choose slow and steady suffering
Iām sorry. Thatās hard. š«

This Labor Day, I want to celebrate our cityās unions and to thank the workers that make our city run. We deserve a Mayor who will put people before profits every time. Happy Labor Day!
zanadu, what is that? It looks like a penis with feet and a cloaca
The people who rent those moving trucks make it very very clear that they donāt fit. Amazing that people ignore it
Didnāt realize I am scared of heights until the Sky Glider stopped moving
I was talked into going to the fair on the last day.
mysterious sign in loring park about dorian the catās first annual birthday. no date or location given, but there are lots of activities planned and you should bring 3 gifts. āfor more information, please read again.ā
Welp! Couldn't my #COVID shot at #CVS appointment today. I was informed I will only be able to get it by prescription in the state of Georgia. Let's see if my healthcare system will provide shots for medical staff. I will update you on this as well.š¤·š½āāļø
I very rarely do.
why can't the democrat messaging on trans people be "no, we are not going to force children to undergo genital inspections in order to play sports"
He isāso precious. Look how tidily he sleeps. Han was across the room quietly snoring while sprawled.
He was SO CUTE
They certainly make perverted policies.

Literally proposing genital inspections to keep trans kids out of sports.
This library branch I volunteer at got enthusiastic at the idea of having an Instagram account and I just ran with it but now I think I might be getting carried away www.instagram.com/p/DN_Ui-ukl5I/
I knew someone would remember!
did you really think i had forgotten about caturday.
Bad flavor choices. Even if they had the perfect flavor and texture, I would use that $6 for Welchās fruit snacks.
Do you remember when we got a new radio station in the mid-90ās and they played this song on repeat for days? Was that The Current?
Hey! Mag-net-ah for magenta.

Another beautiful evening in Minneapolis

All I can think of is the Linda Nochlin āAchetez des Bananesā photo š
āCrackers ānā cheesy dipā Is that what theyāve always been called? I š§” a good, salty cheesy dip. āNā some crackers.
Chewie doesnāt know it, but I gave Han a Churu this morning.
Sure! I will reward your Quack! Hereās a fresh, never before seen Chewbacca pic
I sent a duck. Does that get me a previously unpublished cat photo? Iām extremely phone resistant.
Spoilsport
Evidence that Han has vanquished Chewie.
Omg Chewie is so mad at me because Iām taking pictures of the evidence that his brother nibbled on his back
I would buy a rainbow trans flag CDC resignee t-shirt that says āpregnant people foreverā in giant letters.
An element of fascism is a kind of upside down where the meanest, most rapacious, and least virtuous of society are loosed to bully and abuse people who genuinely uphold civic ideals of service and sacrifice. Public service isnāt what the system is about. Itās about conditioning the national body.
"His mother told NBC4 that the agent told her son they had confused him with someone else, but to ālook at the bright side: youāre gonna have an exciting story to tell your friends when you go back to schoolā." WTF www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
That feeling that you're behind on your work and haven't gotten enough done? That's a personality trait. No amount of extra work will make it go away.

The day in presidential aspirations: Newsom: "Here's another troll tweet of Trump" Pritzker: "We're going to buy COVID vaccines and distribute the to our citizens." Walz: "I'm thinking about calling a special session of the Legislature to limit guns."
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
In the words of Speaker Melissa Hortman, "We are the leaders we've been waiting for." Call a special session, Governor. I invite my colleagues across the aisle to stand with us for the kids of MN. And if they won't, they should have to look us all in the eye while they vote no.
Several homeowners were surprised to see us. Nothing confrontational. One of them spoke to us about how a path and public boardwalk would spoil the character of Cedar Lake. As he talked, we could see six private docks all around us.
Iām so sorry. She was beautiful

Iām not going to read this but I will hate it vicariously through you

I am unable to hold myself back from telling you that external cause of injury codes (like bitten by snake) canāt ever be primary diagnoses, they need an S or T injury code as the primary to say what and where the injury is. Iām a secondary data researcher and I have a sick love for this stuff. š
I also love that your billing/coding person started their message with āYikes Snake!ā
Totally not the point, but might I offer S60.372 (or S61.052 if open without nail damage S61.152 if open with nail damage)
Not gonna lie, I saw that come through and gasped. Good for him.

YOUR BISCUIT PHOTO, YOUR MAJESTY
I would have given up and left long before 3:30. They owe you an apology
He was politely insistent. His belly must have been very empty.
This little man was very naughty in the night and came in to our room singing insistently. Twice. But it turned out his food dish was empty. So it was a true emergency.
what an incredible, deeply moving image.
What a handsome, good boy! Aleister, you are a delight!
I saw Michael Oesterholm at the U and he could tell I recognized him and smiled self-deprecatingly. Sort of a brush with fame
That is very top tier!! I drove on the Prince Rogers Nelson memorial highway today, but thatās the extent of my Prince proximity.
I have not met actually famous people. Though I did live in a house with a writer of preteen dragon books. And hung out a bit with two people who are extremely famous musicians in another part of the world. So I guess i have met famous people, but not famous like Sting.
I wouldnāt say I struggle to do it. But I do it quite thoroughly
But as a pinnacle experience, difficult to top!
What venue?
That is an amazing story!!!
biscuit salutes you!! if you too would like your very own, never-before-posted cat photo, call your reps tonight! just post your call history as proof in the thread
You sang on stage! At a Police concert! With them backing you!
!!!!!!!!!!
āItās unthinkable:ā Thousands gather to mourn Annunciation shooting victims at vigils.ā My old neighborhood. #banassaultrifles www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...
There are 400 million guns in this country. More guns than people. In America, we are ten times more likely to be shot in a school or playground than any other developed nation.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns donāt kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Anyone who looks at America in 2025 and thinks, "maybe we can fix this by throwing trans people under the bus" 1) doesn't have the brains to understand what's going on or how we got here 2) doesn't have the stomach for any of the fights ahead and 3) is vice signaling to their MAGA friends.
āPhysically inactiveā is unprovable. Kudos to the people who made the list of conditions.
Giant orange cat Howie being nibbled by a baby corgi is exactly what I needed to see this morning.
Stop giving the strib your money. They always show you how they will amplify hate.
Mazy needs a home with her own couch! Anoka and northeast twin citiesāthis is an emergency!
Twelve citizens decide that throwing a sandwich is more First Amendment expression than Felony and refuse to indict. Itās now time for Big Mac brigades.
"The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/h...
In addition to the families and neighbors, think about the healthcare workers caring for the victims of the mass shooting today. It is an incredibly difficult thing they do, technically and emotionally. I'm wishing them peace today (and always)
Two days in a row weāve had mass shootings involving people using weapons of war to inflict violence and pain on our community. It doesnāt have to be with this way. We donāt have to live in a society that allows people to own weapons like this.

Did they ask you twice about Frey? So weird. The endorsement thing is kind of silly. Shouldnāt it depend on what the person says about it the candidate? How can I say in the abstract whether it would change my mind?
Spectacular!
I got a funny Frey poll today. I assume it was Frey, because it asked me on one screen whether I like Frey, Davis, and Hampton. Then on the next screen it asked again whether I like Frey (still no). They were fishing for whose endorsements would change minds.
š¤£ I had a corgi when I was growing up. She had a lot of attitude! I think a corgi racing team t-shirt sounds spectacular
Well done, Cha-Cha!
Corgis donāt really have the hunger for winning, but by god theyāre cute.
Hereās better reporting about that which seems to be missing from most U.S. reporting
Do you know whatās better than getting a new puppy? When your lovely neighbors get a new puppy!! All the play, none of the lost sleep or cleaning up poo! ššš„³š„³š„³šš
Thatās weird, though, right? Addresses are in such a standard format that would wouldnāt think it would make that mistake. I reported mine as misinformation under the category āpolitical conspiracyā because there was no better category. š
