Is this accurate still? The VA is shedding 83k staff. It doesn't seem like that lines up with a budget increase.

Thank you for doing this work. As someone who wants to help and really isn't sure if an NPO or a GFM is my best option, this helps me understand that GFM is indeed a valid option.

As a pandemic nurse (worked first wave. Got out of bedside nursing shortly after) -- what the actual fuck.

this passion of theirs. That there is no tamping down on this joy.
That they get to wear the fanciest digs they can find and celebrate for a day.
We did this last year and my daughter talked about it for months afterwards.
This year her brother went too as the lone prince of the party.

Bet he had nothing to say about the military quietly erasing the history of anyone who wasn't a white man.

Blue states aren't safe either. People travel.
Regardless. We're talking innocent victims here. They didn't choose their parents. Personally speaking, I want everyone to be safer from these diseases.

Vaccines aren't 100% effective. Which means if there are enough unvaccinated kids around, herd immunity fails and kids who are vaccinated or who can't be (or who have an immune system that doesn't mount a response) will get sick as well.
We all lose when herd immunity fails.

Every attack I've seen on Ms. Rachel tells me a lot more about the moral depravity of her attackers than anything else.

Recommending something currently illegal without good science behind it based on personal experience is irresponsible for a person in her position.
Recommending further research into an area to determine whether or not something is therapeutic and should be made legal due to medical use is better.

I can't heart this. It fills me with anger. I have two small kids this will directly impact since the deeply stupid people who make decisions in my area of NY do not include fluoride in the drinking water.
Moving soon. Hopefully the new place does have fluoride.

As a VA nurse explicitly forbidden from receiving almost any gift (food gifted to the entire unit is ok to take and share) this is beyond ridiculous to me.

Parent of two and a VA nurse. I'm writing letters and paying attention, but my kids are one and three. I'm not sure what else I can do while maintaining everything else that needs doing.
I'd like to protest but nap time makes it hard. I'm not legally allowed to strike and my union was gutted.

Are we talking Christians or "Christians"? Because there are a lot of people who claim to belong to the faith but are worse at it than I am. And I'm pagan.

A lot of them are overdosing on fentanyl tainted drugs or dying alone in nursing homes after their living kin found them so vile they refused to put up with them anymore. But because they're dying alone and have made no useful impact on the world, they don't get headlines.

This exactly. Too many people trusting media without looking at the speeches and sources and not using any form of critical thinking.

They don't realize how bad it is til it hits them. Before then, most of them think they exist in a bubble and won't catch whatever is going around. Or if they do, that it will be mild.

Some of them carry passes for museums and the like as well! I know a few by me do.

Just because it isn't the straw that breaks the camel's back doesn't mean that it's not another straw on the camel's back.
