Follow me on Meta Threads Under User-Name " sstrumello1 " !
I was kind of hoping it wouldn ' t come to this, but it now seems inevitable. Twitter/X has become unsustainable as a viable social platform, so I will (eventually) be migrating to the newer rival run by Meta (fka Facebook). Recall that in August 2023, sensing that Twitter under Elon Musk ' s ownership was would die as a social platform because the owner was clueless about running a social platform, rival Meta stepped in to fill the void with a new application it calls Threadshttps://www.threads.net/. I know about Jack Dorsey ' s BlueSky, but that new social platform still has some serious accessibility issues right n...

Expressive writing reduces caregiver stress
Today, more than one in five Americans are caregivers, providing care to an adult or child with special needs at some time in the past 12 months. Given this sobering statistic, I’m surprised we do not see as many health narratives written by caregivers as, say, doctors and patients, at least not in print.

We Have All Been The Victim Of False Government Propaganda Regarding Our International Intelligence Capability!
This headline says it all! Hamas attack: This was a terrible intelligence failure by Israel Greg Sheridan 9:11PM October 7, 2023 The Hamas attack is an Israeli nightmare. Not so much the perhaps 5000 rockets – though the numbers are disputed - the terrorist group launched against Israel, but the terrorists roaming through southern Israeli towns, where women and children take shelter in “ (Source: Australian Health Information Technology)

Claira Sohn Cultivates Neurons and Diversity in the STEM Community
Credit: Courtesy of Claira Sohn. Claira Sohn credits her grandfather with sparking her interest in science. Although he never studied science at a 4-year university due to financial limitations, he took many community college classes and worked in chemistry labs developing products such as hair dyes and dissolvable stitches. “Every morning, my grandfather would take me to school, and we’d stop to get orange juice and a cookie and talk about science. When I was in elementary school, he bought me a book about quantum mechanics written for kids,” she says. “He inspired me to ask questions and encouraged me to go to ...

Wednesday Bible Study: Going around in circles
The ridiculous repetition continues, and I ' m not sure what to do about it. This is incredibly boring. They just keep saying the same thing, over and over, at absurd length. I pledged we ' d read the whole damn thing however so in order to keep my word, we just need to plow ahead. Unfortunately, I must warn you, it goes on for quite a while longer in the same circles. This does give us a few popular cliches, e.g. nothing but skin and bones, the skin of my teeth. Whether that makes the whole thing worthwhile I can ' t say. Anyway I ' ll give you two chapters to try to get this over with as soon as possible.19 Then Job...

I feel I must belabor the obvious. Yes, it's a cult.
For most of my life, the Republican party has promoted itself as the true patriots, the people who " support the troops, " will aggressively confront foreign adversaries, and spend trillions of dollars for what they define as a " strong " national defense. They also purport to be the competent party, the " grownups in the room. " Now, quite suddenly it seems, they worship and adore a demented idiot who disparages and disdains the military and wants to bow down to the nation ' s most dangerous adversary.General Kelly, who served as white house chief of staff, has recently granted an interview to CNN.  A person tha...

poem
 New TheologyIn the new theology faith is simply an acceptance of the world as it is. Nothing more than that. No complex creeds to wrestle with. No painful initiation rites. God doesn ’t play a role in our system. And truth is something only rarely stumbled upon. So one must nevertheless exercise discernment and prudence at all times. Take the emotion out of it, wring it out, hang it out to dry in the warm summer wind, then put it crinkled and damp back in. Many people hear abo ut our teachings and say it trivializes faith, as if it were easy. The sky is blue. That boy is my son. But they’re wrong. The ancient rel...

Sunday Sermonette: More endless yammering
Again I ' m going to post two chapters today just to try to get this over with. I sincerely apologize, I ' d forgotten how turgid and repetitive this book is. Yet again, Job takes hundreds of words to say that the comforters aren ' t helping and he ' s despairing; and in the next chapter Bildad once again says Job must have done something to deserve this, in hundreds of words. I ' ll just say that it would be impossible to get this drek published today, even in a college literary magazine. I ' m sorry to have to tell you that it goes on and on after this while nothing happens and nothing new is said. Again, if this is the ...

Second chances and simple beauty in thrift stores
I like to thrift shop. Aisle after aisle weaves a story of people and their lives. Pieces of trinkets I’ll never need. But I can feel the hidden simple beauty, and then I have to have it.

The art of pediatrics: Connecting through observation
On my first day of inpatient rounds during intern year, I was taken aback when the attending stated, “Let’s stop outside the room and just spend a few moments watching the child and mom.” I started my residency on my community rotation site in Chester, PA, where several of the Philadelphia training programs at that Read more… The art of pediatrics: Connecting through observation originally appeared in KevinMD.com.
