Every time I learn new things about vietnam its like
Americans: “it’s like the vietnamese had some kind of mystery superpower death magic or something”
Vietnamese: “the americans weren’t trained to avoid pointy sticks”
possible I'm misinterpreting this but it really does seem like this wholesale jewelry supplies site is asking if I'd like to do customs fraud
@leo60228 1) that's awesome 2) I'd always assumed that if you wanted to fake records you'd have to do a bit of nudge nudge wink wink I know a guy and they'd quietly adjust things in the back. Had no idea that it would just be a checkbox, truly modern internet shopping has made customs fraud accessible to the masses
Actually, I have to agree. One of the hottest days in Chicago my hospitals air went out. They didn’t inform us and they didn’t make accommodations or anything for us or the patients. It wasn’t until I said “all of our patients are elderly today, they are sweating and over heating.”
They sent one small fan up that could clip to a hospital bed. I felt rage. I called plant again, called my manager, called the union rep and house supervisor. I called anyone who would listen. Within an hour the union rep asked my unit manager why the conditions were unsafe for employees? The unit manager escalated this to plant and asked why the air was off and why the building hadn’t been informed? Plant tried to fix the air, hospital director came out because the staff was threatening to leave and wheel the patients outside for cooler conditions, director called an outside source to help fix the air.
By the time four or five o’clock rolled in, the air was back on. It took me 8 hours….fucking 8 to not only convince people of higher authority that the staff and patients can’t work in this heat (it’s a hospital the windows don’t open) and that just because we love to care for people, it doesn’t mean we wanna pass out from heat exhaustion doing it.
[image: a typed sign attached to a whiteboard reads, "Please note: Due to issues caused by the hot weather conditions, our air conditioning unit will not be working until further notice. Thank you in advance for your understanding." next to that, someone has written, "Then neither are we! Thanks in advance for your understanding. —Staff"]
I used to work for a pediatrician (I didn't work in the hospital, I looked after her kid when she went to work) and the level to which hospital staff are exploited and expected to work in terrible conditions is ridiculous. She was pushed so far that occasionally she'd have to take a day off work because she was passing out from exhaustion every five minutes and it wasn't safe to drive. She'd regularly go to work with full on 'noise makes me about to throw up' migraines. She'd muscle through terrible maintenance conditions, cancel time off, if it was physically possible for her to be in the building and working she'd be there. Why? Because there were no other pediatricians at the hospital. If she didn't go to work, sick kids couldn't get the treatment they needed. Families who'd driven for an hour from a neighbouring town for an appointment would get their appointment cancelled. The medical staff wanted to help people ad they were the only people who could help people, so they'd show up and do their best, every day, no matter how little support they received and how much it was wrecking their own health. Because while it's easy to see from a few steps back that it would be far more beneficial for both them and the patients to make a stand early on, in the day-to-day the decision was 'go to work and put up with it, or make a stand and the kids I'm responsible for don't get the help I can easily provide'.
So hospital services worsen. And the medical staff keep putting up with it. And the system won't collapse until the staff physically cannot keep going. Because the system they're in, by the inherent nature of what it is, holds the sick and vulnerable hostage against them, and the agencies responsible for giving them the resources they need either don't see or don't care because everyone's still showing up for work.
That “please note” sign might as well say “die” on it

btw its time to get your flu shot for the year if you havent yet. theres also a new covid vaccine rolling out in the US but because RFK wants people dead, insurance coverage/eligibility is very slim, you may need to be prepared for a bill or to see your doctor about it. but still dont let the season go without getting your vaccines if possible ok thanks
(via @sinistrasidera )
The meeting where they're likely to curb vaccine access even further starts Thursday, September 18, 2025: https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/cdc-acip-meeting-september-18-19-2025.html
I strongly recommend that anyone in the USA get vaccinated before that meeting if it's at all possible for you.

25 ways to be a little more punk in 2025
Cut fast fashion - buy used, learn to mend and/or make your own clothes, buy fewer clothes less often so you can save up for ethically made quality
Cancel subscriptions - relearn how to pirate media, spend $10/month buying a digital album from a small artist instead of on Spotify, stream on free services since the paid ones make you watch ads anyway
Green your community - there's lots of ways to do this, like seedbombing or joining a community garden or organizing neighborhood trash pickups
Be kind - stop to give directions, check on stopped cars, smile at kids, let people cut you in line, offer to get stuff off the high shelf, hold the door, ask people if they're okay
Intervene - learn bystander intervention techniques and be prepared to use them, even if it feels awkward
Get closer to your food - grow it yourself, can and preserve it, buy from a farmstand, learn where it's from, go fishing, make it from scratch, learn a new ingredient
Use opensource software - try LibreOffice, try Reaper, learn Linux, use a free Photoshop clone. The next time an app tries to force you to pay, look to see if there's an opensource alternative
Make less trash - start a compost, be mindful of packaging, find another use for that plastic, make it a challenge for yourself!
Get involved in local politics - show up at meetings for city council, the zoning commission, the park district, school boards; fight the NIMBYs that always show up and force them to focus on the things impacting the most vulnerable folks in your community
DIY > fashion - shake off the obsession with pristine presentation that you've been taught! Cut your own hair, use homemade cosmetics, exchange mani/pedis with friends, make your own jewelry, duct tape those broken headphones!
Ditch Google - Chromium browsers (which is almost all of them) are now bloated spyware, and Google search sucks now, so why not finally make the jump to Firefox and another search like DuckDuckGo? Or put the Wikipedia app on your phone and look things up there?
Forage - learn about local edible plants and how to safely and sustainably harvest them or go find fruit trees and such accessible to the public.
Volunteer - every week tutoring at the library or once a month at the humane society or twice a year serving food at the soup kitchen, you can find something that matches your availability
Help your neighbors - which means you have to meet them first and find out how you can help (including your unhoused neighbors), like elderly or disabled folks that might need help with yardwork or who that escape artist dog belongs to or whether the police have been hassling people sleeping rough
Fix stuff - the next time something breaks (a small appliance, an electronic, a piece of furniture, etc.), see if you can figure out what's wrong with it, if there are tutorials on fixing it, or if you can order a replacement part from the manufacturer instead of trashing the whole thing
Mix up your transit - find out what's walkable, try biking instead of driving, try public transit and complain to the city if it sucks, take a train instead of a plane, start a carpool at work
Engage in the arts - go see a local play, check out an art gallery or a small museum, buy art from the farmer's market
Go to the library - to check out a book or a movie or a CD, to use the computers or the printer, to find out if they have other weird rentals like a seed library or luggage, to use meeting space, to file your taxes, to take a class, to ask question
Listen local - see what's happening at local music venues or other events where local musicians will be performing, stop for buskers, find a favorite artist, and support them
Buy local - it's less convenient than online shopping or going to a big box store that sells everything, but try buying what you can from small local shops in your area
Become unmarketable - there are a lot of ways you can disrupt your online marketing surveillance, including buying less, using decoy emails, deleting or removing permissions from apps that spy on you, checking your privacy settings, not clicking advertising links, and...
Use cash - go to the bank and take out cash instead of using your credit card or e-payment for everything! It's better on small businesses and it's untraceable
Give what you can - as capitalism churns on, normal shmucks have less and less, so think about what you can give (time, money, skills, space, stuff) and how it will make the most impact
Talk about wages - with your coworkers, with your friends, while unionizing! Stop thinking about wages as a measure of your worth and talk about whether or not the bosses are paying fairly for the labor they receive
Think about wealthflow - there are a thousand little mechanisms that corporations and billionaires use to capture wealth from the lower class: fees for transactions, interest, vendor platforms, subscriptions, and more. Start thinking about where your money goes, how and where it's getting captured and removed from our class, and where you have the ability to cut off the flow and pass cash directly to your fellow working class people
I mostly talk about transit and local politics but seriously do as much of this as you can, it really does help

okay this is the coolest shit I've ever seen. also the idea of high-end a scrubs was really weird to me at first until I found out that they're made to be long wearing on purpose and that you can recycle them to reduce waste.
Yeah okay, this is cool!
