Wait, does Disney own the rights to Rocky Horror? Does that make Magenta and Columbia Disney princesses?

Sometimes you humans need to take a deep breath and watch ducks dive for food (aka getting back in touch with nature) 🌊🌊

In this age of extreme technological advances I am personally offended that GPS still tells me shit like “Head East” like I’m Ferdinand fucking Magellan.

You can lead a horse to water. And you can give a mouse a cookie. Just two pretty cool things you can do for animals

If Trump dismantles the Dept. of Education, he will be jeopardizing public education for our most vulnerable communities.

Rural schools. Low-income areas. Special ed teachers and students with disabilities.

Our families, kids, and teachers deserve more.
Trump preps order to dismantle Education Dept. as DOGE probes data
Closing the agency would require congressional approval, so the new administration hopes to diminish it in the meantime.

Some people think that billionaires must be trustworthy, because they have enough money already.

Billionaires are, by definition, people who are incapable of having enough money.

8 million disabled children benefit from federal funding to their schools. It’s a full-time job for every parent of a disabled child to fight for their kids’ education. Donald Trump and MAGA GOP in Congress just told every family they’re on their own.

We are a little over a week into this new “presidency” and they are actively destroying the lives of so many. This will have lethal consequences. What’s the plan? How do we fight back?
I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I don't have many followers on here who know me IRL, so this is the place I get to say what I'm feeling. My nephew , who is 12, very recently found out that he has some type of osteosarcoma. Today pathology reports come back regarding staging, type, etc. Guys, I'm so sick to my stomach.

Since I had to teach class last night, I thought this was an appropriate costume. Happy Halloween!

Feeling devastated. My nephew ended up having some very concerning MRI results on his leg, and the medical professional in me is obsessing over every word. Won't know more until Tuesday, but it's highly suggestive of cancer. Anyone a doc at Rush in Chicago?

Yesterday was a really rough day at work. I'm trying realllllllly hard to get over it, but I feel so disrespected. I am, however, grateful for my team and my direct boss for making sure I was ok.

What is a song that immediately puts you in the mood for some sexy time? I'll start, "I Sit on Acid" by Lords of Acid. How about you? 🤔

Today is my 40th birthday. I'm not sure how I was supposed to feel, but I definitely don't feel old. I also am super lucky to have awesome people in my life who love and always support me ❤️

I love how my ex husband can do less than the bare ass minimum, and still be the hero! Gotta love the "Disneyland Dad"! 🙄😡

Yikes! I was in a squatting position chatting with my guinea pigs, and when I stood up I nearly had a syncopal episode! Am I: dehydrated? Dying? Too high BP med dose since losing weight? Someone put a curse on me? Stimulated the vagus nerve? ALL OF THE BAD REASONS AND THINGS?!?!?

Hello EMS friends of the land! Question:
When you have been faced with a reportable call type (mandated reporter stuff; child abuse, elder abuse, etc.), have you ever experienced opposition or resistance from other healthcare providers also involved in patient care?

Last night my EMT students had their written final exam. I sat with the very last student until 11pm (4 hours). Everyone is graduating! Despite being soooooo exhausted and desperately wanting a day off, seeing my students beam with pride reminds me why I do this job in the first place ❤️🚑🩺

Unbeknownst to me, my doctor more than DOUBLED my dose of phentermine after not taking it at all for a month. 37.5 is waaaaaay too much for me. It might have been nice to mention this to me (the pharmacist also said nothing about the dosage changing).

Soooo much work to do today. Any EMTs or paramedics in the Chicagoland area looking for a job? Hit me up and we can set up an interview! #ems #paramedic #medexambulance #Chicago

Is this heat extra kicking anyone else's ass? I'm in the Chicagoland area, and this is BRUTAL!

Hmmm.....my very first post here. I guess I'll just say hi! I am a former make-up artist/theater nerd who eventually became a critical care paramedic and an EMS educator. Democrat, dark sense of humor, always chooses to be kind whenever possible. Give me a follow, maybe?
