idk if I mentioned this but my mom was a copywriter in the 50s. She wasn’t at an agency, just in house at a dept store, but she was kind of Peggy in a way. She used to keep a novel in her desk drawer and read when no one was looking. And the men who did her job were paid 3x as much.

Before I knew how to pronounce it I’d say clopidogrel like “cloppy doggerel” which slugworlds pointed out would be a good name for a baseball player. All these tweets are lost now, like tears in the rain

Ironically neurosurgery has a reputation for being a chill rotation since the residents are too busy opening skulls to pay attention to the med students
