you know you work in healthcare when a random coworker asks a legit question on whether or not a wound vac could be applied to the remains of someone's balls if there was treatment of Fournier's gangrene down there #healthcareheroes #woundcare #cliniclife #justanurse #nurselife

this old sassy bitch knows she can always steal my blankets and bedspace by being cute #dogsofbluesky #seniordogsaturday #dogsbluesky #blanket #nospace #dog #cutedoggo

my greatest customization with my phone was having a picture of my dog's nose that I could boop as a biometric read option #dogs #cellphone #boop

My decision to get more proactive in self-defense has never come at a better time, I guess. #lgbtqnews #lesbian #assaultedforbeinggay #hatecrimes #hatecrime #gay www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/05/lesb...

HGGGHH tempted

These look so cool!

feels awkward at work being the only lesbo and apparently the Lesbian Ambassador™️ Nobody knew that a lesbian flag even existed (I had said something looked lesbian and had to explain the flag) Accidentally laughed too hard and had to explain why at the term "scissoring" #lesbian #onlygay

And we men think we are all that as we obsessively and narcissistically pump our muscles up over in the gym We men need to be far better partners in this marriage of LIFE

it's really annoying that to get more energy you need to expend energy with mental illness got myself started with some classes at a gym that I really am loving finally i have energy to do things #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #exercisemindandbody #therapyandmeds #multipleaspects

Someone had to go potty in the rain and regretted it immediately😂 (she got a good drying off and treats afterwards though!) #dogsofbluesky #rainwalk #dogs #seniordog #regret #thunderstorms #rain #doggo

Is it lame that I'm more excited about planning an outfit for Denver Pride than my own upcoming birthday? 😅

Dudes think they grow up fast, ooo boy lemme tell ya about being a black girl lol

ngl, I legit cried reading this healing with PTSD, trauma, religious trauma, and other mental health struggles with family that doesn't really understand I gotta remind myself. It's a process, a series, it's not just one thing and it's not linear at all #mentalhealth #trauma #anxiety #healing

In southeast Kansas, housing is treated as health care, and people are getting off the streets kansasreflector.com/2025/05/19/i... love this application, I hope it gains more traction #mentalhealthmatters #healthiswealth #housing #healthcare #helpingothers #homesareahumanright

The article makes you think about the crucial, but often overlooked, role of women's work. A content worth reading. 🔭 🧪 #HistSci #WomenInSTEM

quality singer right there

These alternating weather patterns between sunny and rainy have Bev entirely suspicious of the outdoors these days no matter, she still looks cute, even if she blames me for the weather changes lol #dogsofbluesky #seniordogs #allergyseason #cutedoggos #weather #dogs

Anyone else have a dog that tells them when to go to bed? #doglife #dog #doggo #dogsofbluesky #bedtime

well that's no surprise with my Beverly

absolutely

🧪The best Rx: do not listen to him. 1. Unaware that he cut $11.4 B funding to state depts for Covid-19 response/fired scientists 2. Says: to not take medical advice from him 3. NIH funding started Covid-19 pandemic 4. Insists that rising autism cases *must* be caused by environmental toxins

Not surprised. This is Catholicism we're talking about. I was a cradle-Catholic once upon a time, and got shamed repeatedly by my parents for being "too gay". It was their way of tolerating me. I don't know why this is surprising to anyone who's been remotely raised/familiar with Catholicism.

Thoughts cannot harm you. Oftentimes when you are struggling, they may even deceive and lie to you. Thoughts are just that. Thoughts. The intangible cannot harm you. You've got this! #MentalHealthMatters 💙 #EndStigma #Anxiety #Depression

updating/re-writing my resume is hard. I want to sell myself but have zero confidence despite being a registered nurse for almost 6 years now and finishing up on specializing in wound care #nurselife #worklife #resumeprobs #selfesteem #mentalhealth #lackingconfidence

Thinking about this post I saw and how the clinic that I work at pretty much is terrible for accessibility. I have reported to higher up the food chain but was met with little interest/promise of a new place. 😒 but it's healthcare so my hopes are low #disability #access #clinicisforeveryone

putting this on my locker at work

this is how we take snacks and cookies home working in healthcare and needing a ziploc baggie #healthcareheroes #snacktime #cookies #nursevibes #biohazardcookie #workinginhealthcare

Can't let the outrage stop us and overwhelm. Absolutely on point!

full of rage still. got a notice in my email that the company I work for is spending money on superbowl commercials. Instead of y'know...hiring and retaining staff so we can actually care for our patients and do our jobs safely. #usahealthcare #superbowl #forprofithealthcare #outoftouch #murica

I love how media posts about "omg, nurses are leaving why aren't they staying" Then I have to deal with my director seriously asking us if we are "willing" to take care of a patient who just threatened to shoot us up because he didn't like his copay costs. #nurse #patientcare #everydaynursestuff

In the US, the CDC consensus of the TB vaccine is generally useless along with far too many Americans focused on individuality rather than protecting themselves AND the general public, my hopes that things remain contained continue to remain low #tbawareness #kansas #outbreak #tuberculosis

Love art? Care about the LGBTQ+ community? Then please follow the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art on Instagram. The LLMA is the only museum worldwide dedicated solely to LGBTQ artists and art. Thank you.

the nice thing about the clinic staff being collectively aggressively miserable about being short staffed for the front desk is that it forced my director to hire someone faster lest we all bail at once :) #unitedfront #shortstaffed #understaffed #collectivemisery #officepolitics

I often think about how so many cities are absolutely AGONIZING over the idea of turning a single street, or even a block, into a people-place and pedestrian stroll, while thriving communities like Gràcia in Barcelona are filled with so many streets & squares with no cars, or at most “tamed” cars.”
