i decided to return to x-twitter—I need to start re-engaging in public life—and then realized…
this isn’t public life anymore
byeeee (again) — deleted my return to x-twitter post and going back to bluesky with my <50 followers
For that small number of people who know me and know my mom, I'm sorry to say that she died in a hospital last month. If you're someone who wants to attend her memorial on 11/11/2023, please contact me directly. Obit here, and... legacy.com/us/obituaries/sac…
...if you're interested, a much longer essay about what it was like to be her son while she was in the hospital is here, something I just had to write down to get it out of my head. Still a lot to process. joewrightmd.com/mureceptormi…
x-twitter continues to get worse , c'mon over to the non-musky one-- link to article by clicking on his face bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Ok. Using this app as a space to launch the Ron Desantis campaign is too much. If I tweet and no one reads it, I should actually be writing elsewhere; if I tweet and people do read it, I’m feeding engagement and helping raise ad rates for a right wing billionaire. Nope. Bye.
When I was a kid in the 70s there used to be this distinction between “hobo” and “bum”; after the 80s everyone was “homeless”. This guy describes a “hobo” kind of life (including his looking down on others who aren’t traveling, as “bums”) and reminds me of that distinction.
In Boston especially I see forms of selective mercy—ways that police or property owners do or don’t enforce things depending on the temperature and how well-kept or temporary a sleeping spot seems to be. But these are not reliable and never announced in advance.

The most important reasons
to oppose abortion bans are _not medical_ and I do think it is important for _doctors_ to continue to emphasize that.
There has been appropriate attention to the horrible medical consequences of abortion bans for high risk medical situations and/but it is important for doctors not to lose sight of the fundamental injustice of forcing people to carry perfectly ordinary pregnancies to term.

This is a great illustration of arrogant ignorance. They don't know what they hell they are talking about but are supremely confident anyway. Only unserious folks don't know about the exhaustive time, energy and effort black people spend on this topic outside of police shootings.
It might be better in Mandarin, but I wouldn't know. zh.sampan.org/2023/health/%e…
The racism in the replies is something else… especially when you remember that the concept of modern EMS was started *in Pittsburgh* by a Black ambulance service.
