I’m a f3d3ral employee. I got the email. Here are my five bullets: 🖕 🖕🏿 🖕🏾 🖕🏽 🖕🏼

This is just me being unusually meticulous with how I lay out my IV supplies, right? #nurses #ernurses

The difference between the America I’m fighting for vs. the America “they” want to “make great,” is that I will fight for their constitutional rights, but they’ll stand by and do nothing as our rights are being eroded.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

Resistance done right by those with means.

I much prefer this platform. I don’t see as much engagement here as I do on TT, though. But I’ll keep posting just to support it and stick it to X.

I bet you have "friends" and family that you know for a fact would have given up Anne Frank.

"If you want to get rid of me, you're going to have to fucking fire me!" I'll keep taking care of this nation's veterans. The GOP and 47 certainly don't give a damn about them.

I’m conflicted. I’m glad it’s back but really? It had to be because of him?

Imagine being a time traveler and going back to talk with the founding father: TT: So, can you put in the constitution that any person convicted of a felony cannot be president? FF: That’s ridiculous. It’s unnecessary. No one would vote for such a candidate. TT: … FF: Are you fucking serious?

To anyone who has seen me at my worst, during a moment of weakness, or any of the times I’ve made a poor decision, I want you to know I’ve tried to grow as a person and be better. Those moments haunt me to this day.

Yes indeed. My thoughts exactly.

On the one hand I’m happy for the WFT, but I really wanted to see Detroit win the whole thing. What a turnaround for that franchise.

TikTok just went dark for me 🥺

Today, we took our kids bowling and on the screens were random trivia "facts." One said that February 1865 is the only month w/o a full moon. I looked it up. It is false. It happens every 19ish years. If you can't trust bowling alley trivia, what can you trust?

Today I learned the German army in WWII was basically high on meth (Pervitin), which depresses empathy, and obviously keeps you awake. #wwII #history

Watching the VT women’s basketball team dismantle Campbell!

All aboard! This is the Polar Express!

What kind of person is against this? And what is their rationale? That’s a rhetorical question, BTW, I already know the answer.

This is how it’s supposed to be done.

A holiday shopping reminder: when you’re checking out at a store register and the cashier asks you, “what’s a good phone number?” just say “no thank you.” They’re adding your number to a database they then sell and then you get a ton of spam calls and texts.

Hear me out: Guy Fawkes mask, but make it Luigi.

Anyone else’s emergency departments getting absolutely crushed the last few weeks? The last two days were brutal. #ernurse

I eagerly await all the 2A warriors to add 14A to their hashtags….

Well, when you let the leopards, who TOLD you they’d eat your face, into your home, don’t be surprised when they *gasp* eat your face.

For years I would finish books because I felt obligated. Don’t start something you aren’t willing to finish. Now, as an older and questionably wiser adult, I start books all the time and if I don’t like it I stop reading. It’s liberating.

Getting in a quick ride before a busy holiday celebration afternoon and evening. #peloton

The alt text y’all 😂

Christmas shopping? Don’t want to support Amazon? I bought three things on Macy’s for $102 vs $147 on BozoBezos. And, it ships much faster. Just saying you have options. Also, Macy’s is giving 30% off today and tomorrow with code FRIENDS. No, I’m not getting any commission.

My subtle signs of resistance.

Had my annual physical this morning. As I turn 50 in less than a month, my doctor told me I’ll be eligible for a shingles vaccine. And it’s 91% effective in healthy adults 50 and older. I’ve had a lot of shingles patients and I do not want that. Sign me the fuck up for a shot!

Holy shit. And not just COVID deaths. Traumatic deaths. Dead kids. Dead moms. Dead dads. Dead loved ones. So much death and crying and screaming. They don’t tell you about that in nursing school. It lives with you.

The good doctor thoughtfully examines the “unsympathetic” social media response to the recent murder of the UnitedHealth CEO. Very little of his usual hilarity and a much more sobering reality. It’s worth the watch. I think he hits the nail on the head. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8N6fs8a/

Great. Grateful? … The English language can fuck right off.
