Yesterday, I got an email from @DukeU with the eye-catching subject line: "Are you making an expensive mistake?". I opened the email, and it got worse.

my favorite part about health insurance is how your teeth and eyeballs are add-ons

I had a therapist who once told me, “if you don’t schedule a break, your body will take one for you. And it probably won’t be at a convenient time.”

For the love of god, politically interested people, when your friends and family ask what can be done about the Supreme Court, don't say "nothing." There are, moldering away in the Constitution, ways to check the court's power that every American needs to become familiar with.🧵

I realized the other day that even at this late point in the pandemic there is a basic thing many people still don't understand about diseases in general that underpins a lot of how we react to epidemics.

Abolish the filibuster. Codify Roe. Expand the Supreme Court. Protect abortion rights by any means necessary. We need all of the above. This is an emergency.

NEW: We are proposing an amendment to enshrine the right to choose in the California constitution. We can’t trust SCOTUS to protect the right to abortion, so we’ll do it ourselves. Women will remain protected here.
California will not stand by as women across America are stripped of their rights. With @SenToniAtkins and @Rendon63rd, we are proposing an amendment to enshrine the right to choose in the California constitution. #RoeVsWade

Let's be clear, wealthy women will always have access to whatever doctors, medicines and procedures that they want. Ending Roe is an attack on the autonomy of poor and working class women.

I was so moved to see Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmed this afternoon. Like so many of you, I can’t help but feel a sense of pride—a sense of joy—to know that this deserving, accomplished Black woman will be a part of the highest court in the land.

We’re moving very quickly here at Dartmouth with emergency graduate admissions for the displaced Ukrainian scholars. This is often the most flexible, the least bureaucratic line of admissions with precedents. I encourage you to do this. We’re also working on undergrad & faculty.

An under-discussed effect of COVID is how we kind of lost casual friends. The incidental buddies you ran into at a BBQ, holiday party or softball game- just rapture-like disappeared. Now everyone you talk to is either coworker or 1 of the 5 most important people you've ever known
