In Poland we have the tradition where we keep an extra space on the table for Christmas dinner (which is on Christmas Eve), and an “unexpected guest” can find a place for warm food, and company.

I do hope the same spirit will open houses and communities to strangers out in the cold during #BombCyclone

A front page article on the Washington Post telling people how to get started with Mastodon?

That’s a big deal.

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.

FDA approves the first treatment for recurrent C. difficile infections made from bacteria from donor stools. Fecal transplants have been used for awhile. This would be a far easier approach. #Cdiff https://www.statnews.com/2022/11/30/fda-approves-first-microbiome-drug/

@HelenBranswell amazing news for these patients!

@juliaoftoronto hello! It's a complex medical issue for sure. I recently discussed ultra-processed foods, a known contributor to obesity, as a factor in the increasing rates of colon cancer in men. Thanks for posting!

@syed thank you and exactly! I had the same feeling! 😃

Your friendly Mastodon gastroenterologist reminds you to chew your turkey well this Thanksgiving day

I love the concept of "Flâneur." I wish we had more acceptance of flâneurie in this fast-paced American life.

Heartbroken and angered by the senseless tragedy at Club Q in #ColoradoSprings.
The fact that my community was targeted in their safe haven, an #LGBTQ establishment, on Transgender Day of Remembrance makes me sick to my stomach. 💔

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance - an opportunity to honor the many transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary people whose lives have been taken in anti-transgender acts of violence. Since the first observance of this day in 1999, it has become an occasion for generating awareness about the devastating impact transphobia has on the lives of transgender people around the world.

Stopping colorectal cancer in its tracks — that’s our goal. How we’re getting there? By screening 80% of our patients, an increase of more than 65% in a year. But the work doesn’t stop there. Learn more at:
