Just saw Inside Out 2 and I'm sorry what do you mean Parent Island is tiny and decrepit young lady when you got hot food, running water, free cell phone, no polio cuz of my health care, Santa Claus, tolerance of your gross fluids and odors, girl I brought you in this world I'll--.

Wife (in admirable baritone to our 3yo): Ho Ho Ho! What would you like for Christmas?. 3yo: A teddy bear! But Santa, what would YOU like for Christmas?. Wife: <stunned heart-filling silence of a holiday deity who's only ever been squeezed dry for their generosity>.

And his PARENTS. Were not AT ALL outraged or apologetic enough. Like this was just a thing that happens. Sir. Ma'am. This is not kids being kids. And there's room in that overhead compartment for you and your 'gentle parenting' too.

I'm not violent or vindictive. But at the airport a random toddler walked up to my toddler and, unprovoked, slapped her in the face. It took every ounce of me not to throw that baby in the overhead compartment unrestrained to rattle around during takeoff.

Landed in the USA for the first time in 2 years. Didn’t realize the weight of fearing for my Black life daily until I went expat. I walked past smiling neighbors with Trump lawn signs in Wisconsin this week, fight or flight came out of hibernation and it felt…American. Cool.

First day jitters have never been so deadly. My first day on call was a mess of the hottest variety. Listen to me tell it!. My performance on @TheMoth Radio Hour is now available wherever you get your podcasts!. If you like it, my book I CAN'T SAVE YOU, has many more!.

Oh hey, it's me!.

Once again:.Actual white allyship requires risk. Risk of losing face, risk of losing power. And most of all, risk of doing/saying the right thing even if it's uncomfortable. Watching them squirm has lost its charm. It's the silence for me. Deafening.

Had an amazing time chatting with @DGlaucomflecken and @LGlaucomflecken about my life and times! .Plus, which of the five senses did the ENT rank as the best??. Check it out wherever you get your podcasts!.

Humbled to be in the company of giants and inspirations on the @BostonGlobe year end list!.A remarkable honor to cap a remarkable year!.

LOVED this conversation with @ESilvermanMD about all things ICSY. Having a chance to talk medicine, wellness, and identity on one of my favorite podcasts was such a pleasure. Please take a listen!.

For the record, this is NOT a nomination. But to even be put forth for GRAMMY consideration for my audiobook performance is not something I'd considered in my wildest dreams. I'll be over here in my corner giggling gleefully like a toddler if you need me.

⁦TW: Suicide. This was me. Achievement, concealment, alcohol, drugs, depression, self-harm, suicidal. Oh, and surgeon. It's why I wrote my book, hoping more of us would find power in vulnerability. Thanks @lubitz_carrie⁩ for joining the chorus.

If you're a Londoner, you won't want to miss this!. I'm funny, I promise.

One of my favorite pod convos to date. I love having the opportunity to give back to my profession with my stories!.Thank you @drdmaz for the opportunity and all of your thoughtful questions!. Oh, and buy my book, too I guess. It's good, promise.

There are a bunch of wonderful moments in @moryan's BURN IT DOWN, but for me it was this response to an exec who was looking for kudos for doing the bare minimum. I'm putting this into my arsenal of daily 'do better' vernacular.
