An extraordinarily powerful piece about institutionalization, ableism, and one family’s experience of loss and connection.

I thought my mother was an only child. I was wrong.
A thread about my latest story for @TheAtlantic , September’s cover. It’s online today and by far the most personal thing I’ve ever written. 1/8.

With Milan Kundera's passing, I was thinking has any author inspired more academics to use a word from the title of one of their works? (The word is "unbearable" of course. I've done it myself)

Another excellent thread by @culturaltutor about film and painting.
This shot from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was directly based on an 1847 painting called The Fallen Angel, by Alexandre Cabanel. Films imitate paintings all the time. Why?. Because cinema has replaced painting as the definitive art form of the 21st century.

A moving piece about the late Paul Farmer by a MD/MPH student (A.H. Petriceks): "One imagines that Dr. Farmer did little reflecting on his achievements. because he was too busy going to see, not the King, but those whom he loved."

Agree that Succession was one of the greatest TV shows of all time (and very Seinfeldian like this critic claimed: .
newyorker.com
The HBO series, now in its third season, feels almost Seinfeldian in its efforts to capture a group of eccentric, petty characters as they try, again and again, to one-up one another.
Succession captures the Trump-era like nothing else: enormous concentrations of wealth and power held by useless people who are for nothing but their own daily self-interest, and the destruction this causes. Only The Wire and Seinfeld in their own different ways were as good.

What a terrible lesson to learn. What have we become?

Is rehearsing school shootings the best way to protect U.S. children? What if there are better ways? When did we decide to accept a reality where teachers and students have to ask these questions a...

This is unbelievable: “Officials are trying to track down nurses with fake degrees from Fla. scheme : NPR”
npr.org
More than 2,100 people may be fraudulently working as nurses across the U.S. after allegedly buying fake degrees in a Florida-based scheme. Authorities are working to track them down.

I’m glad that @DrKeishaRay wrote Black Health in an accessible way to connect with a broader audience of readers. I mentioned her work yesterday to my @loyolabioethics graduate students. Look forward to reading it!.

These are all great little Wes Andersonesque videos.
For anyone who doesn’t have TikTok: there’s a trend at the moment where people are romanticising their lives by editing them like Wes Anderson and it’s honestly so creative and wholesome. 🧵👇 Here are a few of my favourite ones.

A truly wonderful moment.

Poignant piece by @rose_m_olson about the need for hope: “So let the family cradle hope, even when the odds are bad. Let them take it one moment at a time, because that may already be too much.”

I always learn something new when reading the @culturaltutor’s erudite but accessible threads. For instance, the notion that “Jesuit churches were the most Baroque of all” was something I never knew nor appreciated.
Baroque architecture is famous for its detail, grandeur, and extravagance. But why does it look like that?. Well, back in the 17th century, it was supposed to stop you from reading too many books.
