  • Hedgehog! Brave bird haha

    Cute isn't everything! I don't find the GHOs that populate my neighborhood particularly cute, but I still love them and get giddy when I hear them. I feel like VEO has some real "ancient witch/wizard" vibes working in its favor, unlike GHO which just reminds me of those old "Woodsy Owl" PSAs 😂

  • The onshore tax havens Delaware, Wyoming, and Nevada are vastly worse in scope than any offshore country. They push the narrative about those "terrible foreign countries" to distract us from this fact.

    The problem is US tax code, not offshore financial centers.

  • Thanks! We're all happy. But it's not over for us just yet. The corporation that owns our hospital (Tenet Healthcare) is notorious for shenanigans, and we're anticipating they'll try to drag this out to see if they can induce us to revote in a year because we're dissatisfied with the union. (I think our vote margin finally got them to give up on just trying to make us all so miserable that we quit.) But we'll keep fighting. We live here; this is OUR hospital.

    I wish you all the best in your campaign. I think the only advice from my experience that I would offer is be willing to extend grace. Patience with the ignorance and stubbornness of some of our coworkers bought us a lot of new yes votes by the end of our campaign. Especially when they were actively receiving the opposite from our administration.

  • Damn, what a great reference. I really wish I had this during our 3.5 month unionizing drive because those motherfuckers tried ALL OF THIS.

    I'm proud to report that three weeks ago we won our union vote by a margin of 5:1. Our union organizers all said they've never seen a success ratio like that in their careers. We're a very spirited community hospital.

  • I actually just gasped out loud as I was scrolling. That thing is amazing

  • Lmfao, just a nurse chiming in to say I appreciate the shit out of you. Pun intended

  • Right, but without Chevron, it just means the federal agencies have to go to court to make changes. All of which cases will be filed in the Fifth Circuit and rubber stamped, I'm sure. I think overturning Chevron would be a mild inconvenience for a second Trump presidency.

  • It's originally about Chevron the company lol. The original Supreme Court case that set the modern precedent was Chevron (the company) vs. Natural Resources Defense Council. That case allowed the EPA to do things like determine safe levels for things like lead in water, particulate matter in air, etc. without explicitly having a whole ass court argument over each and every number that they wanted to set.

    Overturning the original Chevron case will literally dismantle the entire regulatory process in the United States.

  • All chemotherapy agents are also well known to cause cancer, so much that you have to have special training as a nurse to handle them, special hazardous disposal, and lifelong monitoring for other cancers after completing treatment. So I feel like this shouldn't be that surprising to anyone.

  • chimney cap owl in basement

    Well now, there's something I'd never considered worrying about as a homeowner in New England that I am now going to check into 😱

  • My grandmother with Alzheimer's passed those clinical tests long after she had already asked us to take away her keys because she knew she wasn't safe to drive anymore. So yeah...

  • Rama squirrel! This is one of my favorite religious stories. It's just so frickin adorable. But it's ok, owls. I think Lord Ram will understand that you gotta eat too.

  • The First Amendment means nothing to these people

  • Well shit you're right! I just tend to save things in time order anyway, so I hadn't noticed. I just deliberately saved something out of time order, and sure enough it sorted itself lower down in my save list. Good to know. My bad

  • Who works 24 hours in ffp2? More like 12h in a surgical mask unless dealing with a confirmed Covid patient. It's not that hard.

  • I also suffer from excellent quality, terrible tasting tap water. Tastes like Dasani, even filtered. Sparkling water in cans it is, I guess ÂŻ(ツ)_/ÂŻ
