No one ever tell me anything bad about the person who runs this account.
the person who runs this account, Katie Gouldin, is an evolutionary biologist who has an EXCELLENT podcast called Creature Feature which compares and contrasts the weird behaviors of man and beast! she is super cute and funny too!
oh thank GOD
just want to add i love how much she hates elon
yeah okay ill reblog that

Will Graham is so torturable that you don't even have to torture him yourself for him to be tortured. He just does that by himself.
Not only can you torture him or watch him torture himself, you can also torture yourself to potentially torture him if his empathy picks up on your tortured state. He was tortured by other people feeling tortured an awful lot while using his empathy for profiling. A perfect martyr, a whipping boy by natural design……. Don’t worry, Hannibal, I get you
The rule could have heavy impacts towards trans people across society.
Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"
The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.
Importantly, the gender ideology prohibition has no age limitation—hospitals could be targeted not just for providing care to minors but for providing gender-affirming care to adults, because prescribing hormone therapy to a transgender patient of any age could be deemed promoting the belief that "sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic."
THIS IS OPEN TO COMMENT UNTIL JULY 13, 2026
This is all very bad and horrible, but I want to be clear that it’s worse and more sweeping than just eliminating trans research.
This torches everything. And I do mean everything.
A very abbreviated list of its ramifications include (but are not limited to):
ending funding for ALL DEI related initiatives
allowing the government to terminate grants at any point for any reason
preventing researchers from publishing, going to conferences, and being part of academic societies
requiring that topics must support the president’s agenda.
What this means, and if anything I’m under selling it, is the death of science and research in America. It allows the government to restrict any topic they please at a whims notice, putting officials who have no background in the topic in charge of deciding funding continuity. It controls what gets researched and if/how researchers are allowed to share their discoveries. There are no books to burn if the government never allows them to be written. This is fascism plain and simple.
Please, if you only ever write one public comment, this is the one to do.
Bringing back this guide to writing an effective public comment. This gives you the basics you need to know, what you need to include, a basic outline you can follow, etc.
Public comments are not a vote, it is a chance for you to say "here is an issue with this law I think you need to address" and provide justification for legal challenges if it goes forward:
"Comments raise the bar that agencies have to meet when making a rule; “if an agency fails to adequately respond to significant, relevant comments in a final rule, members of the public may seek to challenge the rule in court on that basis and claim it could be struck down.ˮ"
But also, if possible, don't stop at writing a comment. Don't stop at calling your representatives. You should ideally be talking to people in your community about this and organizing resistance on-the-ground; there is a good chance people are already doing that even if you aren't hearing about it.
Some added 101-level context from someone (me) who’s worked in federal grantmaking for 20 years and is literally certified on this document - this is a document that governs all federal grantmaking. It’s been around for over a decade and is a mega-document that combine multiple previous smaller documents that have been around for ages. It is updated every few years and generally the updates are minor - a notable change in the previous update was raising the small procurement threshold from $10,000 to $15,000 for example. Deeply dry boring minutiae that no one outside of federal grantmakers need concern themselves with. It was also federal GUIDELINES, which means there was flexibility.
This year’s is different. They are now federal REQUIREMENTS, which means there’s no flexibility. As was said previously, the 400 pages are not singularly devoted to being absolute shitheads to trans people. Theres a lot of stuff in there, some of which is the standard dry boring grants stuff, some of which is the horrible ideological warfare outlined above.
This document is issued by the OMB, the Office of Management and Budget, which is currently lead by fucking Russell Vought, the principal architect of Project 2025. This is how they’re going to implement all the horrible shit in there that wasn’t covered by Executive Order. Russell Vought is actively coming for my job, my marriage, and my kid, and most of my friends lost their jobs last year because of him. He is the fucking arch villain behind the heinous shit the current regime is doing.
So yes, please comment. You don’t have to read all 400 pages before doing so, it’s dry and dense as fuck, but I thought this information might be helpful. Also, while there is a public comment period, this isn’t voted on by Congress. The OMB just fucking issues it. Pressuring your elected officials into publicly saying “hey what the fuck are you doing here” is good, though.
Please note the comment period is open through JULY 13th, not JUNE 13th. I saw a lot of relogs yesterday saying "last day!" and I just want to say it is very much not too late.
As of today, 7/8/26, we have five days for public commentary on this to go through. I am begging y'all: if you care about independent science in the country that produces the most global science funding in the world, please leave a comment.
oh dear god
I am speed running the stages of grief. Come explore this with me.
I WONDER WHY HEALTHCARE DATA IS SO LIMITED. HEY HAS ANYONE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHY WE DON'T HAVE COMPLETELY OPEN PLATFORMS FOR HEALTH DATA. AND WHY IT'S A BAD IDEA TO HAVE WRITE PRIVILEGES VIA SOME WEB INTERFACE TO MEDICAL RECORDS. HAS ANYONE EVER WONDERED.
okay well let's look at the github. at least an mcp server is just like a stupider API. right.
STARTING OFF. BAD.
This is. a PHI nightmare.
do you think these tech guys ever think. "i wonder why nobody has done this."
Well if they had to pick an AI at least they're not using one of the sketchy ones right. thank goodn
oh
You know, I'm glad Epic put so much time into making mychart extremely secure, even with all the health systems who configure them like a drunk monkey. it would be a shame if
hmm hey what do we think 'read local passwords' does
feed healthcare data to openclaw openclaw safe for 2FA codes and passwords in plaintext nothing bad will happen to your passwords and 2FA ccodes if you feed them to openclaww
ooohghhg my fucking ggogod
FROM DISCORD??? FROM MM DISCORD? YOU WANT TO FEED YOUR OWN PERSONAL HONEST TO FUCK PHI INTO, POTENTIALLY, DISCORD??
What many users may not know about MyChart providedby EpicSystems is that MyChart providedby EpicSystems is actually kind of like a local instance that your healthcare org runs, not a "Sign in once and see everything" type of deal (unless you have Care Everywhere, and then it maybe can be. But it Depends.)
Why is that you might ask. Well you see. There are many Rules and Laws and Regulations about the use and exchange of personal healthcare data.
Which is why of course this guy, seeing a well-thought-out and tested technical position, decided "what if i get all of them at once and also the 2FA codes and stored them ALL in the same place with no encryption whatsoever"
MRN??????????? YOUR PERSONAL HIGHLY PROTECTED BASICALLY ILLEGAL TO SHARE MEDICAL RECORDS NUMBER?
????????????????????????
This is genuinely the most terrifying import i have ever seen
I LIED; WHAT
GIVE OPENCLAW ACCESS TO YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING EMAIL AND MEDICAL RECORDS NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN IF YOU FEED YOUR ENTIRE BROWSER CACHE NAD PASSWORD KEY STORE INTO OPE NCLAW
okay. i'm done. i can't. i cannot continue to look at this. this is out of this world.
how do we think this project ends
sued
straight to jail
openclaw sending messages to your forme college professors with random diagnoses
hipaa police

keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it
oh my god I just realized this is the year people will stop being born and stop aging and stop dying
[ID: Text on a black background that is colored according to different speakers. Red text asks, “how long has it been like this?”

Thanks for reading,
This is the 10th Anniversary Edition of "It's Not A Race." Originally released in August, this version is months late because the prospect of adding pages to what is easily my most read works was particularly daunting.
I wanted to post it again unattached to the original so I could display it the way it was meant to be seen. Blessings, -J
My controversial opinion is that some of you don’t have enough lived experience and maturity to be watching a show like The Pitt.
You don’t know what it’s like to have systems working against you systematically, to be caught in situations where black and white don’t exist, where there is no saving someone, where you can be the victim but still be perpetrating your own misery, to know that no matter what you do, you’re still incapable of fixing something perfectly.
You want clear lines drawn in the sand of this is the bad guy and this is what mental health should look like and this is what should be done in XYZ situation when the reality of it is so much more difficult and shaky and impossible. You want characters that are Good and ones that are Bad and the Bad ones don’t get to redeem themselves or fix themselves or have rocky reconciliation.
You shouldn’t be able to form hard opinions because this show constantly tells us that the real world is so much messier than that. People are messier than that. You think you understand characters perfectly but you show that nuanced and complex characters with flaws AND strengths are beyond your level of comprehension.
If you want a happier TV show where people aren’t hurt, aren’t hurting themselves, hurting the people around them, where people are the villain from the beginning to the end with no chance at redemption, go watch a cartoon or something.

As someone who works in healthcare, this take is so important to me.
Real life isn’t like what’s on TV, not even in this show. But this show is pretty damn close. You might not like a character, or a character’s reaction to a situation, be it a patient, or a doctor, or a kid, or the kid’s parent. You might not enjoy gray areas. God knows I don’t (then why did I pick healthcare ? …God knows.). But the fact is that these things happen in real life. These patients pop up. Bigots, racists, addicts, Doctor Googles, even good people who are just going through a bad thing, who can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel yet… the list goes on. Same goes for shitty coworkers who break rules or make decisions you wouldn’t have made in an emergency or are just. fucking annoying.
The reality of healthcare, of life, is that the world doesn’t care about your moral compass, about your guidelines or requisite actions, about what you think should happen in a given scenario. Simulations and hypothetical ethical debates can only take you so far. People are sick. People are dying. People are mean about these things because they’re scared. In my experience, it’s best to try to be kind. If you can’t be kind, be civil. If you can’t be civil, find a coworker or friend who can. Apply this to everyone — patients and coworkers and people in general. However, no matter how much you wish it might, your kindness can’t change the way the world is. The gray areas and moral discrepancies won’t just disappear because you don’t want to see them. And there’s nothing you can change about that. You have to work through it anyway. Because people are sick and people are dying and you have to be their last hope.
Yeah, okay sure. Maybe your coworker stole drugs from the hospital. He’s in recovery now, and he’s trying to make amends, and you still don’t want anything to do with him, and that has to be fine.
Yeah, your sister didn’t tell you about her sort of long-term boyfriend (even though you’ve been prioritizing her life over yours for as long as you can remember, and fuck, it hurts that she’s not telling you things you thought she’d always tell you first), and that has to be fine.
Yeah, your best friend told your attending about your time at the farm and now you’re being scolded for “not setting boundaries” by the same man who also asked you to house-sit while he’s on his sabbatical. Plus, he said you could keep the house if he didn’t come back (definitely not a suicide mission, though, don’t worry!), and that has to be fine (actually, idk, I feel like you should maybe ask a friend on this one, we don’t need another person dying) (is that crossing a boundary?) (does anyone care if it means Robby lives??) (oh look, another gray area).
Yeah, your boss just yelled at you in front of a bunch of people while you were having a panic attack because your fucking mom won’t leave you the fuck alone and you’re at a loss because this has never happened to you before and you just want to do your best, and that has to be fine.
Yeah, you’re having a terrible shift because of course you are, of course this is happening right as you’re about to k*ll yourself leave and you’re shouting even though you don’t really mean to, and that has to be fine.
Even the lines you’ve drawn in the sand aren’t permanent. They’re washed away in the next swell of the tide and there’s nothing you can do. Because real life doesn’t care. None of it fucking matters. Real life is so short, and it is so precious. You can’t afford to lose your mind about things that won’t matter by the time your next shift starts. Someone said their goodbyes to a loved one four minutes and thirty-eight seconds ago, and you had to watch tears slide down their cheeks, to stand there supportively as they felt the hand of your patient go cold, and oh god you just can’t think about anything else, but a new patient just got rolled into that room and you have to go help them.
Petty grudges don’t hold water against things like that. Stupid conflicts about being handed the wrong size gloves or someone poaching a patient from you are nothing compared to the way you can’t breathe listening to someone whisper, “I love you, thank you, I forgive you, please forgive me.” Nothing, compared to the adrenaline rush of having been almost strangled by a patient who’s lost all semblance of patience and humanity because they’re scared and tired of waiting for answers. Nothing, compared to the way your heart seizes in your chest because you’re already overwhelmed when that damn bell rings again but then, “Louie got his wings!” and suddenly the air is gone from your lungs and oh, you’re crying (me too, it’s okay).
Trinity can hate Langdon for what happened the day of PittFest. Langdon can know what he did was wrong, and he can be in the process of recovering, and he can be trying his best. Mel can be angry that her sister didn’t tell her about Adam, and Becca can be angry about Mel trying to control everything for her. Mel can also be mad that she’s put her life on hold for her sister, only to realize that she’s been “wasting” time. Samira can be irritated with her mom for being insane and with Robby for being a dick, and she can be a damn good doctor who really, truly cares about her patients, despite all of the external pressure she’s feeling. Whitaker can care about Amy and still know that he’s crossing lines he probably shouldn’t be. Robby can be cruel and snappy even though he knows he’s supposed to be professional and he knows that it’s his own fault, but he’s just so angry and he just can’t stomach talking to anyone about it in a meaningful way so he takes it out on others. Real. People. Are. Messy.
The practice of medicine, of saving lives, is just that — practice. There’s no consistency, no one-size-fits-all solution, no absolutes or perfection. Not in your patients, not in your cases, not in your coworkers, and certainly not in yourself. To be human is to be unique and flawed and complex. You have to let these characters have their humanity. Let them be real. And then, you have to let the compassion you discover for them become compassion for everyone else, no matter who they are or where they come from or what they’ve done. Let yourself have compassion and hope, too, while you’re at it. These standards we’re holding ourselves and each other to aren’t always reasonable.
I know, I know — “but Lillz, what about—“ I don’t care. I can’t. Real life is too fucking short. There is nuance and there are flaws and there are angry words exchanged and there are bad decisions made. But there are also lives saved. Families restored. Love and light and healing and hope. Do you get it now? People are sick and people are dying and you get to try to give them hope. Isn’t that the most important thing? Isn’t that the point?
Let yourself hope that the human condition is naturally good. When it isn’t — when people are mean and angry and scared — let yourself hope you can heal that part of them. Let yourself hope that you can find a gray area and shed light on it. Let yourself hope for better. Sometimes, that’s all you can do. I promise you, it’s enough. You just have to have compassion and hope. Everyone else will catch on. I promise.
And as for The Pitt, and other shows like it, when characters are real enough to have flaws and strengths and darknesses and lights, let them. It’s so important to know that this is how the world is. How else can we have hope for what the world could become?
