Angry person who believes my own human rights do not cancel anyone else’s.

Tech, fountain pens, and various other interests.

My opinions are my own and I do not presume to speak for anyone else.

My work is at the intersection of tech and gov.

A strike is only called after all other attempts to ensure the quality of patients’ care and respect for those giving that care are exhausted. Providence Health is losing credibility while staff and patients suffer. nwlaborpress.org/2024/12/bigg... @OregonNurses
Biggest-yet Providence strike could be coming - NW Labor Press
Thirteen Oregon hospitals and clinics in the Providence health care chain could shut down as early as next month.

America is the richest nation on the planet... they should be able to provide free healthcare at the point of need to every citizen... thus no need for health insurance. UK is able to do it why not US?

I’m starting to think that the only way I’ll be able to survive the incoming fascist regime is getting a book deal for my rock & roll love story #TheSoundOfSettling so I won’t have to do politics anymore

If anyone would like to help me out with that, that’d be great #SignTara taradublinrocks.com

It's not the Robin Hood story folks wanted but attractive, well-heeled young guy who had back surgery, unrelenting pain to the point of impacting his mental health. He withdraws from his peeps, eventually goes to a dark place, and eventually takes it out on insurance CEO.

Still relatable.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr.

The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...
Nobel Laureates Urge Senate to Turn Down Kennedy’s Nomination
Elevating Mr. Kennedy to secretary of H.H.S. “would put the public’s health in jeopardy,” more than 75 laureates wrote.

Hubby and I got funding to direct a short film adaptation of one of our works!

I would LOVE the opportunity to shadow a horror director first - if anyone has a shoot scheduled between now and June of 2025. (Particularly in L.A.)

Just putting it out here in the blue skies! 😀

I’m so proud of the people of the nation of #Georgia. We are watching as the youth DEMAND the Russian Puppet govt hold free elections.

The will of the people will prevail.
Tonight was a watershed, and we passed this test successfully whatever happens by dawn hours: after the morning’s horrifying vicious assault aimed at intimidating us, people weren’t intimidated, they came in larger numbers and more organized than ever. #GeorgiaProtests

NBC: Mississippi Free Press "Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter,” Pittman said. “Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited.”
