Night, NIght, Nauts, signing off early because my soul feels heavy. Get a good night's sleep tonight, on our longest night, and know that the sun is returning. If you are feeling sad or depressed or grieving, the winter solstice is a reminder that the longest night inevitably leads toward the sun's returning. Hugs and love to you.๐ ๐
Meet the Florida English teacher trying to ban 150 books from school libraries, by @JuddLegum https://open.substack.com/pub/popularinformation/p/meet-the-florida-english-teacher
On the plus side, my kids are both older and excited to go on an adventure, so at least that's not a worry. It's the logistics of moving, finding a place to live, hoping my job lets me stay remote long enough to find a new job, and hoping I sell my house fast enough before the market crashes that's getting me.
It'll all be worth it in the end, but there will be damage to heal.
Families with trans youth are fleeing their homes in red states and becoming political refugees inside the US. I have a little more time than my Texas counterparts to get my family out of Florida, but it's been hard trying to explain the urgency and trauma of uprooting your life to friends and co-workers who just don't get it.

I'm trying to figure out approximately how many patients we would see with a schedule tweak, accounting for no shows and providers calling out sick/taking vacations.
I think I've got it, but pretty sure I've damaged some neurons in the process. In case anyone was wondering what working on the analytics side of healthcare is like.
My 18 year old asked me to think of any original holiday pop songs that came out after the 90s and, dear reader, I could not. So instead, I listened to Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses.
