Finally made the move!

Pt in 40s thin, new poorly controlled DM, severe HTN, nephrotic proteinuria, retinopathy, hypercalcemia 12-13. Cr 1.0 Previously healthy but not seeing doc regularly. PTH 40s after repleting vit D. 24 hr urine ca anywhere from undetectable to <150. Pth-rp nl, Pan CT negative for cancer. Calcium still 12s after IVFs in hospital briefly improved it. Pt a little dizzy in general. Has orthostasis, BP 150s sitting to 120s standing. Next steps for hypercalcemia??

Sooner or later, #degrowth *is* coming to our economy and to our society. It simply can't be avoided.

The only question is whether we will choose to enact that transition as smoothly as possible, or instead have it forced upon us by the actions of nature.

The next time you use any navigation device, software or Google Maps thank Dr. Gladys West. Her contributions to the mathematical modeling of the shape of Earth, and her work on the development of the satellite models that were eventually incorporated into  the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. #BlackMastodon #BlackHistoryMonth

Thanks Robert for the s/o and the work you & ASHRAE are doing to improve building air quality standards. Our mission is to blaze a quiet, cost-effective path to outdoor-levels of COVID safety for indoor air!

Pretty soon @TheConversationUS will have more followers on #mastodon after 9 days than we have accumulated on TikTok in 18 months.

Could you help us get to 1159 by boosting this toot and telling your friends about the work we do?

Dutch words I really miss in English:

- Lotgenoten (fate-buddies). People with the same illness or who've encountered the same tough thing in life are lotgenoten. People with #longcovid are lotgenoten. Covid-avoiders are lotgenoten. You can say things like: "I'm looking to connect with lotgenoten."

- Sterkte (strength). It's a wish of strength to someone in a tough situation. These wishes in English aren't cutting it. I don't want to just wish you well or the best, I want to send you power!

#Strike #UK

British workers unite in largest strike in a generation
Hundreds of thousands of teachers are among those who walked off their jobs to demand wages that keep pace with inflation.

The door is open for Britain to rejoin the EU “any time”, Michel Barnier said on Wednesday before warning the UK not to tear up Brussels regulations after Brexit...

Make no mistake, this’s why the Tories want to tear up all the EU regulations, to prevent us ever rejoining the EU under a new Government!

Thank you for the additional info.

The choices that were made.

This fact sheet gives a terrific overview of the benefits of Social Security to keep children out of poverty & retirees out of poverty - it is especially important to minorities & women.

https://t.co/0KlehG5mjY

Worth remembering that Social Security was rolled out under the care of Sec. Frances Perkins, the first woman to serve as a cabinet secretary (Labor).

Casting Agent: We need somebody who's basically a capybara. Just a big old human capybara, like kinda round and soft and noble. But, like, a veteran? And they solve crimes. By tricking people who aren't like capybaras at all, but who are mean to them. The kind of people who talk down to capybaras. We need a big old veteran capybara who solves the kind of crimes you'd do if you thought capybaras were stupid. And it's set in Los Angeles.

Peter Falk: Ok, I've got this.

@cmclase That's important information, thank you.
