As always, my only quibble is with the day count. It simply cannot be correct. Surely it is months, or years. 34 days is laughable and I do not accept it.

Yes AND right after the “fire threat sentence” it talks about how too few of our nations’s children are eligible for the FUCKING MILITARY. THE CHILDREN ARE NOT HEALTHY ENOUGH FOR US TO SEND TO THEIR DEATH.

Sraars gets it. Look, just ONE of us can't do this. But if hundreds of us... THOUSANDS OF US call, they get worried. Each of us is a spider in their house. One or two spiders? Okay. But THOUSANDS OF SPIDERS? They freak out. JOIN US, FELLOW SPIDERS. CALL YOUR REPS. LET'S FREAK 'EM OUT. reps.fyi

Look, you don’t have to be, like, William Wallace, or whatever. You can just be that dude at the end of Gattaca. You don’t have to lead an army. You can be the person who presses a button that says “fuck you” to an unjust system and makes life better/more just for one person.

I have no notes, except it simply cannot be day 17 and I reject it/time.

Oh, so it’s like a coup coup

Look at all these Dem senators who willingly give up leverage to thwart an ongoing coup.

Folks the single number one thing you should demand from your Senators when you are making calls is that they start objecting to unanimous consent. It only takes a single Senator to do it and if they start objecting, it will grind Trump's fascist takeover to a halt.

God today is an unfortunate day to not have very much to do at work

His name is on the fucking public hospital in San Francisco and my rage cannot be contained. When we (again!) start to have meetings about what to do if/when ICE shows up, I hope the people who put his name on the building for $75 million volunteer for the front line (they absolutely will not.)

Just thinking about how in my ten years as a psych nurse I have never felt the need/desire to respond to any of my patients with violence. And how if I had, I would have absolutely been held accountable in some way. Jordan Neely should be alive and Daniel Penny should be facing consequences.

This costs you zero, Amazon pays for the tip, so make sure you do it after every delivery. Just search “thank my driver” on the Amazon app

you can always ban jesse singal. it’s always morally correct

All of this. I don’t work ICU, but Jesus Christ are insurance companies an insane hindrance in the psych world. I will not mourn this man, or anyone else who profits to the tune of millions off the suffering of the sick.

100% It is none of their fucking business and they cannot fact check it

Recorded lady: “Your wait time will be 2-3 minutes, would you like to stay on hold or receive a call back?” Me: “Psshshs, I can hold for 2-3 minutes.” Lesson learned Kaiser. Truly, it was my fault for thinking you wouldn’t lie to me this time. Fool me once, etc.

Every year for 30 years (give or take) I have been like *this* is the year I will not be a miserable, irritable mess for November/December/January and every year I am wrong.

I do not think I should have to text the babysitter, who was due at my house at 1pm, at 1:10 to ask where she is in order to find out she is not coming. I know shit happens, I have a lot of space for plans changing, but I hate not being communicated with.

Fucking death traps. Cars should not just immediately burst into flames after an accident. They were college kids home for the holiday. Absolutely heartbreaking and enraging.
