there is no nursing shortage btw. just a shortage of nurses willing to work under the terrible, unsafe conditions created by capitalists 👍

[meangirlnurse]

how to solve the nursing shortage:

mandatory patient-to-nurse ratio laws modeled after the laws in California

pay nurses more

🤷‍♀️

[meangirlnurse]

perpetuating the myth of a "nursing shortage" only benefits the healthcare administrators fucking us over, giving them an excuse to claim that they can't help but short staff the hospitals because there just aren't nurses to fill those roles

nurses literally make up a full 1% of the US population. there is no nursing shortage

[meangirlnurse]

3. also unions

[meangirlnurse]

#hey. californian here. there is ALSO a shortage here

nah

if you really think there's such a severe shortage of nurses, trying asking new grad nurses in California how the job hunt is going

I just want you all to know i am planning to drive across the country to steal this street sign and hang it over my toilet

[zitongzi]

Dont announced your crimes over unsecured channels dumbass

[papasmoke]

I've spent the past month cooped up in a motel in Orange County planning my theft, before I steal the sign I will set off a cache of fireworks I've placed 5 blocks away from the nearest police station which will rain down on the pigs, the perfect diversion.

hey not to gloat over something so incredibly dour but where's that person who went to my ask to imply that playing palworld is like murder because they didn't even bother looking up what you do in the game. do they know they probably are actually being made complicit in future mass murder or not

can every person who moralized palworld over mostly extremely false, made up accusations made to smear a small-to-medium-sized independent japanese studio for the sake of defending one of the biggest brands in the world just take a look at this and feel any shame or introspection at all

Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the “freedom of expression” side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)

[tlbodine]

From now on this is how all petty fandom disputes should be settled.

It was private equity that sunk instapot, just like Joann’s and toysrus

fairly reliably when someone is mean and weird to you on Tumblr, you can look on their blog and all their recent posts will be about how unhappy they are in their interpersonal relationships and/or how frustrated they are that their creative venture hasn't found success. and it's like ohhhhh okay, I get it. you're clawing at other people because you're actively drowning. my sympathies, that sucks, but I'm not a lifeguard so carry on.

In the early 2000s Clive Barker almost made a movie called Bloody Mary, and most people would assume it'd be about the mirror lady but it was actually going to adapt "Myths Over Miami", a viral mid-90s article about the elaborate folklore among homeless children in Miami, that there was a war in heaven only street children were aware of, and god I want to see what Barker's version of that would have been

[anarchotolkienist]

Fascinating read, strongly recommend battling the horrible UI of the website to get through it.

(and it obviously IS partially about the mirror lady, some version of her anyway, mixed up with Santeria, with Satanic panic, with hoodoo, with pop culture, evangelical Christianity and some extent of Catholic beliefs - Bloody Mary being an inverted Mother Mary who hates children especially and carries a bloody rosary, in the version presented by the shelter children, for instance)

Hey do you know what rumination is?

Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.

Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.

Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.

I'll say it again:

Rumination is a compulsion.

Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.

I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.

And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.

Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.

Like this was genuinely life changing for me.

Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:

Defining Rumination

How to Stop Ruminating

ERP Exercises for Compulsive Rumination

What to Do When You're Triggered

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Just want to add that if you're on the spectrum, you may also experience Autistic Rumination, which is distinct from the obsessive variety, despite the two having some overlapping characteristics!
