I spent five precious minutes that I should have spent studying for my surgery exam tomorrow registering a domain instead.

Anyway, don't waste your time visiting ElonsPersonalHell.com.

"So Gem, how's your anesthesia rotation going?"

Well, today I watched another anesthesiologist put my preceptor into a headlock. The two started wrestling, and then appeared to progress to a tickle fight.

Doc I'm working with just shouted out "Argh! I hate progressives!" My head whipped around.

twitter: your mastodon server admin reads every DM you send. they actually read them and assign a score

mastodon admins who roll their own: sorry everyone images aren't going to work for the next sixty-ninety years. what's a DM

99% of mastodon admins who are just normies who pay for shared hosting: we can't read dms. we can't even choose when to update. we can't even turn the lights off in this room

lead mastodon dev: actually they're "mentioned people only posts," hope this helps. Cheers!

I feel that the fact that my evening plans are "study surgery on UWorld" and not "play Elden Ring until I fall asleep" makes me the greatest hero in the world.

It's the only Twitter search you'll ever need!

I was today years old when I realized the word is "barbiturate" and not "barbituate".

Hm, maybe now that I'm on my anesthesia rotation I might actually find some time to watch that Star War that everyone likes. You know, the prequel to that one prequel that was good.

Man, Rogue One was a mess but I loved every minute of it.

Now that more folks I follow on Twitter are making there way over here, I wish I had a better way to find them!
