In his younger years you could stand my dog in a handstand and play his belly like a bongo and he loved it.

Ama Codjoe, "My Nothings".

  • I know a nurse who was working in peds during a smaller measles outbreak last year in Ontario where that child died. She said to me that the children she worked with were all unvaccinated, they were the sickest people she's ever worked with in her career, and that the parents were universally obnoxious and resistant.

    The other thing is that if any unvaccinated child who simply isn't old enough for the vaccine, meaning babies, is exposed to measles, even if they are asymptomatic they still have to be treated. She told me they had to treat 30 babies from that outbreak in our city alone.

  • Yes I got a titer too and am waiting for results. These ignorant asses aren't going to kill me with their nonsense. I also just got the shingles vaccine, my tenth COVID shot, and next pneumococcal and RSV vaccines. I'm sorry weaponized disinformation on unmoderated social media has led them to this but also they can fuck off all the way to fuckoffville and then fuck off some more.

  • I work at a large downtown city hospital which is in a pretty gnarly part of the city, this morning walking in the cops were walking someone out of the ER in handcuffs and a gown and nothing else, and the other day I had to tell security to go get the passed out naked guy out of the bus stop out front, and last week some woman was yelling at the dietary staff because they wouldn't give her a spoon to go out and do heroin with. But there are Saskatoon berry trees all over the puny lawns and I can eat a handful in the morning if I get there before the starlings do, and somehow just the sight of the place when I walk in is beautiful every day, when in icy winter. It exemplifies everything about my city for me and why I love it, warts and all. It's always full of people flowing around the hallways in a constant stream and it feels so alive.

  • In the late 90s there was a women's magazine called Bust, and for some reason they'd also let you have a bust dot com email account if you wanted. You could email me at cleavage@bust.com, and those were creative fun days of the Internet.

    ETA: it still exists as a quarterly internet magazine but it is NOTHING like it was, it was a great magazine.

  • I think work from home should be the norm and people who oppose it are just your managers who don't want to be obsolete, but I worked from home for 4 years from 2008-2012, before it was more common, and I basically drove myself crazy with loneliness and feeling out of the loop. This was partially due to bad circumstances personally, but after a few months of just your pyjamas you start to feel really sloppy and desperate.

    I should add this was long before Zoom or any video meetings so that didn't help.

  • It did, it just only got noticed in people who are intellectually disabled. That's the only kid I knew with autism growing up in the 80s who got diagnosed.

    The son of a family friend obviously has Asperger's, he's a few years older than me, and his parents did have him tested back then and were told nothing was wrong, but I don't think they had that knowledge back then. He will ask me for a Coke Zero every ten minutes like clockwork when he comes over, polish it off and ask for another.
