Almost daily I talk with people who travel hundreds of miles for #abortion care, but this map better than anything else I’ve seen depicts the landscape of care that drives the stories of these individuals, as well as the stories of people providing abortion care along the borders of ban states. #uspol https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/06/21/1183248911/abortion-access-distance-to-care-travel-miles
Strawberries so red you’ll turn yellow!

We’re all trapped on a dying planet with democracy in decline but sure CNN. Lead with pickleball grievance.
This brought me so much joy today. #acab
Happy #valentinesday. Poem by Tenille Campbell from the book nedí nezu

Pay what you can emergency contraception prescriptions!

I’m trying to bring a #mutualaid influence to health care & given the landscape of #abortion care this seemed a good place to start. Happy to provide rx in advance of when EC is needed!

Due to regulations, I can only offer this to folx in #NewMexico. Please feel free to boost, reach out to me with questions (contact info in second photo), or share within any New Mexico mutual aid groups. #medmastodon #harmreduction #publichealth

Spent the better part of yesterday exploring this little know gem of a spot in #newmexico. Covered by a rock outcropping, the first use of this space by colonizers dates back to the 1700s. Supposedly, colonizers celebrated mass here until the early 1800s when they built a church nearby. There is a natural spring at the site and the water is purportedly healing. Not sure about shrine etiquette, but I washed my face with the water to hedge my bets. #history

Many people and clinicians know of aid in dying (formerly referred to as death with dignity) as an idea but know little about the procedure.

It is a powdered combination of digoxin 100mg, diazepam 1,000mg, morphine 15,000mg, amitriptyline 8,000mg, & phenobarbital 5,000mg that comes in a small bottle.

It is mixed with 2oz of apple juice and can be self-administered orally or rectally. It causes unconsciousness within 10 minutes and for most people death within 2 hours. #MedMastodon #nursing

Truly marvelous (and physically exhausting) day traipsing about with snowshoes near Sandia Crest. I swear if the crest were a national park it would get millions of visitors a year. And for that reason I am so glad it is not. #NewMexico
