I work for a medical answering service and our UI has spellcheck; in the spirit of 'ducking', it wants to change 'epistaxis' to 'pistachios', 'geriatric' to 'gerbils', and it doesn't recognize its own system name as a legitimate word.

This. I've seen similar about how people who knit or crochet are destroying the world. Because yes there's issues with the manufacturing of literally everything. It's interesting to me that it's so often focused on hobbies women have, and finding new ways to devalue and stigmatise them. 🧶

Here's a longer piece I wrote that talks about Skrmetti and what the Court should do to protect trans people because the Constitution demands it.

<- had a prof in 1st semester of grad school that required the final paper to be 'completely original work' (bc previous students had reworked undergrad projects) & mine was 'too good' to have been 'completely original' so she gave me a B, thus damning my hope for a 4.0 GPA. Only damn B I got, too.

It's still a major imbalance, granted! And SF =/= PHX where I lived til 2015 or PDX where I live now, but almost everyone I know still living in PHX has 2+ jobs / another source of income (or is on SS but still needing to work) or lives with family / has housemates. Even with all the 'new jobs'.

But is it an ~11:1 imbalance or a ~4:1 imbalance (or somewhere in between)? I (sadly) doubt those 700k jobs are f/t or would support 700k ppl/families. Maybe 250k as I suspect many 'new jobs' are p/t. Cheaper for employees to hire 2 @ 30 hrs than 1 @ 40 hrs. Half again the labor w/o paying benefits.

The report itself def could've been a fax; not sure how well images would render? In this day & age, though, one would hope that if physical media were given to a patient to hand carry it would be a flash drive - willing to bet there are drs' offices with no optical drive on any of their computers 🤔

....safe to share with all people & a tween or teen isn't likely to ask a classmate if they have liver disease before sharing a Tylenol w/a friend w/a headache; but it would've been hard in the 70s to find a girl in HS without at least a couple of Midol in her purse; and we shared w/o question. /fin

I'd love to see on the pie chart that describes the kind of 'charges' brought: what % of those 'controlled substance' 'offenses' had to do with kids being sent to school with their own rx or OTC meds; what % had to do with students sharing OTC meds with each other? Granted, not all OTC meds are /1

It's similar in medicine - I work @ an answering svc & when we get hospitals calling for specialist consults, if the ordering provider is a PA, NP, or RN (i.e. not a doctor), the clerk will often give a male provider's last name by default but will give a female provider's first name.

When I went for P/T yesterday, the doc I saw (mid-'course' assessment+ my regular therapist was still away after the holiday last week) noticed I was masked so put hers on, too. I still think *everyone* should be masked in public, but I still appreciated it.

and THAT is the reason I've been insisting to my housemates that we need to invest in an actual range hood that vents to the outside. I can't even get a good sear on a piece of meat without ours going off .... and waiting for the monitoring service to call and ask me if I'm cooking again....

It is, but I grok the reason for it. I still *read* my feed on X, so that I can tell myself I haven't buried my head in the sand, but I don't have enough brain bleach for the others. Mad props to those who do it day after day - hell, hour after hour - and still manage to remain somewhat sane.
