Discoveries my nerd friends have found out about the DEI reporting site is that you need a valid zip code but everything else can be nonsense, including just copy pasting “who was phone” style internet memes - and more importantly, that the coding on the site is SO bad that you can easily use Inspect Element to change both the character limit and file upload size limit to your heart’s content. So it is very possible for someone to upload something that is like 75 TB and brick their whole database.

Thank you for your service, friends. The scariest woman I know, who also holds my job in her hand, was talking about that website with genuine fear this morning because she had just hosted a DEI focused speaker at our conference and I thought to myself, “tumblr can take care of this,” which is rarely true, but these are unprecedented times.

I briefly forgot there were normal humans named Elijah and wondered why this person thought they were getting messages from Actual Prophet and Messiah-Herald Elijah the Tishbite.

….yeah me too.

Okay I just finished Not Another Vampire Book and I had to immediately re-read it cause its just so... *squeee*. It's hilarious, first of all. The phrase "sexual tyrannosaurus" is used. It's very meta and at least one of the characters *knows* she's in a book so there's actually funny twists on tropes and loving frustration with some of the sillier tropes. Second, the villain! Holy shit the scene with the dragons?! Woof. Third, I fucking love Kara she is so much fun. She's not just a firey heroine, she's down for crime. Literally holds a man at knife point. I just love her so much.

I love this book so fucking much.

[rosemoonweaver]

I'm going to recommend Not Another Vampire Book by Cassandra Gannon to anyone who loves pastiche, silly romance novels, and hot villains. I just finished this book and I'm going to be thinking about it for a long time.

The healthcare strike in Portland, Oregon is in its third week with no clear end in sight. Front-line caregivers with the Providence Healthcare System negotiating union contracts at multiple hospitals that would improve employee working conditions and protect legally-mandated nurse:patient ratios so nurses don't get assigned an unmanageable and unsafe number of patients per shift. There's been some progress with negotiations, and the governor of the state is putting pressure on both sides to end the strike soon, but Providence continues to hold out on key issues.

As a float pool nurse, every shift I go to whatever floor is understaffed. In nearly every unit I've been to, there have been patients who still be in the ICU, getting one to one care. But because we don't have enough critical care staff, we transfer This is not safe for patients or staff. And it's not just medical safety. It takes time to talk out a problem instead of calling security, or to help someone with severe mobility issues go to the bathroom, or to sit with someone crying. The kind of care that makes you feel like a person, not just a patient, takes time. The more patients I have per shift, the less time I have for each of them.

A strike is our strongest negotiating tactic. And as long as we're on strike, we're not getting paid. The longer you don't get paid, the harder it is to not cross the picket line. We're already out two paychecks so far. A lot of people cannot afford to lose that much income. As the primary income earner for our household: GOD I would love to make money again. That is what Providence is banking on. They're losing a TON of money during this strike, but they've got deeper pockets than their workers. They are betting that they can survive the strike longer than the union can.

You can support the strike by donating to the Oregon Nurses Association's hardship fund which provides money to caregivers so they don't have to scab. (I'll put a link in a reblog I'll make right after posting this.) There's also a public petition you can sign that I'll also link. And if you're in the Portland area, we've got picket lines at like nine different places at any given point. Even just awareness is helpful. Providence wants people to be angry at the striking healthcare workers, not them.

Here’s the link to ONA’s strike fund and petition. Help me buy her the good kibble.

[madronasky]

Go. Donate.

My niece works at a Holiday Inn in Portland, OR. Providence has booked a block of rooms… with no end date… to house scabs. This is a LOT of money they are putting out to get scabs to work.

Let’s support these striking workers.

It is WILD to think of how much money they are willing to spend and lose here

Have you ever said a tumblrism out loud in real life? I say "poob has it for you" at any given opportunity.

[rosemoonweaver]

Saying "who the fuck do you think you are that you can tell me what to do and who I am" and "who died and made you king?" is that fundamental American spirit.

Got my library card today and my city libraries are *so* cool. The one by my house has a knitting club! And the check out system blew my mind. All you do is put your books down in one square, your card in another, and boom, done.
