It’s been a crazy week, but what a beautiful way to come into Corpus Christi with a picture of our little one and to be able to hear their heartbeat. Jesus has given us everything, and as the author of life, he gives us the greatest gifts ❤️
I need a hobby to do with my hands. Knitting or crocheting? And do you really have to take a knitting class or can I teach myself on YouTube or something???

Evening, all. I wrote a short piece reflecting on the response to @thewaronbeauty's recent video about Kiki Smith's exhibit. Link below!
Within an hour of posting my video on TikTok someone commented this. I’m 18 weeks pregnant currently
The epidemic of scorn and mockery for expressing emotion over something that should actually move us is bad for our souls
Critical support for @thewaronbeauty. I was very moved by her video about the art gallery. You can tell she feels very passionately about the subject and it is refreshing to see grief over such horrible things instead of misanthropy or ambivalence.

this way of ignoring human needs promotes a way of seeing physicians as machines.
as I write about in @PublicDiscourse “not only are you not a machine, neither should you strive to be one. By lapsing into this way of thinking, you strip away the very essence of what medicine is.” share.google/arkKKUXKPpK8USp…
Dear physician,
Medical training idealizes self-sacrifice:
- Skip lunch
- Hold your bladder
- Miss family events
- Work sleep deprived
- Don’t call off when you’re ill
- Not having time to schedule you own medical appointments
Is it any surprise that after years of conditioning taking care of your needs feels selfish?

"RRM offers women more options for addressing infertility, and she argues that it isn't a partisan issue.
'If attention and money go mostly to IVF,' Whittaker says, 'I worry that endometriosis surgery and research will be crowded out, and women's choices will narrow.'" @RRM_academy thinkglobalhealth.org/articl…

This doctor warns in that article that IVF can hinder access to endometriosis surgery and solutions for womens health issues. Thanks for including me and citing the most innovative and cutting edge publiclly accessible and free womens health resource in the world! @RRM_academy RRMacademy.org

I can’t stand AES either, but women across religions cover their hair for lots of reasons, and this particular woman is a board-certified psychiatrist with an MD from Columbia, not exactly the picture of oppression. These attacks simply do not work, nor should they.

This is not a good point to push. We do not want the Right (or the Left) to turn having children into a politically polarized issue.
Waiting for comments on my Instagram reel that actually engage with my argument and when I finally get one
I love @berrysweetmum

this is the painting I mentioned tonight in my comments in Houston
Hippocrates Refusing the Gifts of Artaxerxes. 1792 Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson.
The most famous painting of the founder of medical ethics Hippocrates is not of him performing medicine, but of him engaging in an ethical act, refusing gifts from the Persian king Artaxerxes.

Wanted to share a few thoughts regarding the issue of abortion being a major voting issue for young women during these most recent midterms

I continue to think these are pretty good questions/issued, and we should keep trying to find good solutions to them:
I bet @BishopBarron is having one of the best days of his life right now

No one thinks this is a controversial or unworkable biological definition of sex in any domain save one.
asteriskmag.com/issues/16/ho…
ALT Biologists define sex according to gamete size. Males produce small gametes (sperm) and females produce large gametes (eggs). Some fish, like the blue-banded gobi, change sex multiple times during their lives. When they are males, they produce small sperm; when they are females, they produce large eggs. This difference in the gamete size reflects a differential energetic contribution (making big eggs requires more energy) and typically results in different behavioral strategies between males and females. See Paul Griffiths and Hamish Spencer, “Biology Should not Dispense with the Sexes,” Current Biology 35, no. 7 (2025): 244–248.
