Bread and butter pickles are disgusting.
Also why don’t they make chicken broth with 33% MORE sodium?

I feel like they are ignoring most of the market here.
And cottage cheese is complicated. Matching curd size and %milk fat gets complicated. Like I need a 2x2 grid to figure that shit out.
Also I went shopping hungry so I got @reeses eggs and a ton of @OldWisconsin Turkey sticks because @keltykathryn introduced me to them and I can’t stop eating them.

Over the last about 6 years I have adopted the practice of not checking email AT ALL on vacation.

When I mention this, many scoff and say that would never work for them.

I said the same thing when I started.

Join me for a 🧵 about my journey to vacation email freedom.

1/
I have a relatively busy job as a clinician, fellowship director, and assistant dean for faculty development/affairs.

I average 70-100 emails per day.

So committing to not checking it for a week (or 2!) away is admittedly no small task.

I adopted this practice in stages.

2/
My initial state was bad- there was one vacation in which I was answering emails on my computer on the beach as my kids were frolicking in the ocean.

This was when I knew I had to make a major change. This was my low point.

It's tax time!!

Today I sit down and slot through a bunch of forms and discover whether or not I win or lose the tax lottery.

A 🧵about online filing and the fact that is is free for most despite the fact that no one knows this.

Includes links with how to do it for free.

1/
IN 2003, the IRS partnered with a group of companies called the "Free File Alliance", which is a group of tax software companies to help Americans file their taxes ONLINE for FREE.

freefilealliance.org

2/
They intentionally deeply buried the links for the free filing software that most everyone signed up for the NON-FREE version of the software and assumed it wasn't free.

It is supposed to be 100% free.

@propublica wrote a terrific article on this bit.ly/3jnVSIt

Headlines about a recent study point out that a recent study of the Astra Zeneca vaccine appears to slow transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

nyti.ms/39HJ78f

I think it is important to show what this study does and does not imply.

1/7
You can find the manuscript here: bit.ly/3cF1Fbe

NOTE THAT THIS IS A PREPRINT AND HAS NOT YET UNDERGONE PEER REVIEW.

2/7
Vaccines are good at reducing symptomatic #COVID19.

What people really want to know is if they can take off their masks once they have the vaccine. After I am vaccinated, if I don’t have symptoms, could I be infectious?

I will refer to this as slowing asymptomatic spread.

There is chatter about this study in @nature that "disproves" asymptomatic spread- ergo, lockdowns were unneeded.

Let's unpack this because I think this is a blatant misinterpretation of this amazing study.

go.nature.com/3rAmzgV

1/
First off, let's talk about what an unbelievable study this is.

The city of Wuhan, China had a SARS-CoV-2 screening program in which they set out to test all city residents- and were successful in testing 9,899,828 individuals (92.9% of eligible citizens).

IN 19 DAYS.

2/
Wuhan has the equivalent population to North Carolina.

As of today, North Carolina has only carried out 6,800,055 tests (and this is not individuals- this includes multiples).

Wuhan did in 19 days what North Carolina has not done in 10 months.

Gosh darn if the #instantpot hasn’t killed it three nights running.

I’m waiting for the other shoe to fall.

Even @BossletMD agrees.
@mcstarr1: Started with this taco soup. It was absolutely amazing. And fast. The leftovers were sublime. Honestly. I don't generally like taco soup. This was unreal.

Then we did this salmon and potatoes dish.

I was nervous because the kids get suspicious of fish.

I need to increase the portions next time.

Even the spinach in the potatoes tasted great.

Let’s talk about difficult conversations.

Difficult conversations are those that we tend to avoid because they suck. They usually include disappointing someone we don't want to.

A thread on difficult conversations, #COVID19, and leadership.
1/
Difficult conversations abound in COVID time. Examples include:

“I know you want to go to that soccer tournament, but 400 teenagers and their parents in an indoor facility seems unwise.”

2/
“Thanks for inviting me to dinner at Billy Bob’s low-ceilinged, poorly ventilated tavern. I am going to pass because of the pandemic.”

“Thanks for inviting me to your wedding. I am going RSVP no given the global pandemic.”

“Mom, we have to talk about Thanksgiving.”
