I'm a medical doctor, but I had to leave the system to tell the truth.
Most of what you’re told about your health is incomplete or completely wrong.
You’re stuck in a system that profits from your symptoms, not your healing.
In my Substack, I write the truth I wasn’t allowed to say inside the system.
If you're exhausted, unwell, and unheard, say hi! 🙌

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

The Arrest of Mayor Ras Baraka: A Dangerous Precedent
On May 9, 2025, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility, a private prison operated by GEO Group. Baraka attempted to join a congressional delegation’s tour to inspect conditions at the facility, which reopened under a controversial $1 billion, 15-year contract with ICE. Federal authorities claimed Baraka ignored warnings to leave, charging him with misdemeanor trespassing. Baraka, however, maintains he …

Networks must be more cautious when reporting Trump’s so-called “deals.” His announcements often follow a familiar, deceptive pattern: declare a major breakthrough, only for the details to later reveal that nothing has actually changed. In the meantime, he gets the headlines he wants, the press amplifies the illusion, and the markets react based on fiction—not fact.

Our children are so secure in their love. The three bigs all wrote about their mommy in these books I bought them to write in for Mother’s Day. The one common theme: mommy loves them, and is gentle and intentional in the way she loves them.
I’m not surprised at all. If you have ever met any of the Knapp kids, they are a delight. Each one …
Go Clint go. Reading isn't my thing as I explained the reasons why in an earlier post on an earlier post of yours in a similar vibe. I still shudder at the let down of that particular book and I don't ever want to go through that trauma again. My loss? probably, but that's life. Cheers DougT 🇫🇴
Different strokes, different folks, boo. I was lucky my dad didn’t “force” me to read. But he encouraged me. So now…I read a page or three a day as a bit of ritual. My attention span isn’t big enough for much more. lol
Let's just say that book was 'The Front Runner' written by Patricia Nell Warren (supposedly not a Ghost writer)
Never read it, but the little I've heard about it make it sound like a tearjerker. Gay romance written by a woman though? Nah. I'll pass. I don't need a book to make me cry...though not mad if one does.
I'm more apt to read a humorous essay/memoir. David Sedaris is a personal fave. "Me Talk Pretty One Day" remains one that always turn a frown upside down.
It's not a tear jerker, just has a rather BANG point that robbed me of time, emotion, sanity even. I personally still maintain she was ghosting it for a bloke. End of.
I'm sorry, Doug. Sounds like a bad trip...hate books like that.
