The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

cw: discussion of trauma, COVID. no graphic or medical descriptions.

I had my first COVID PTSD flashback at work this week. I severely overreacted after the fact (away from patients), although thankfully that just means emotional expression of distress and not, like, actions with consequences.

Following the CDC's removal of critical health data and the potential approval of RFK Jr. as Health Secretary, it is crucial to access accurate health information from independent sources such as the WHO, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins University, and peer-reviewed journals.

I’ve received word from multiple FAA employees and partners that they’ve been directed to halt all comms. Seems like an admission of guilt.

going from a "healthcare politics and policy" class to a "promoting and preserving health in a diverse society" class given that American health data is currently gutted and paused is... not how I wanted to be doing grad school.

at Michaels today, a young lady came up to me and said "you look like a professional, can I ask you a question?" because I still have customer service face. (it was sweet, I told her about Ravelry)

WOOF does The Pitt hit hard in the COVID nursing PTSD. Whoever they consulted with was in the thick of it. I often ran the COVID cabana, which was in our empty pediatric area.

I mean, yes. But also, Reddit's specialized forums (especially /r/medicine) have been a good source for info when governmental ones have let me down (aka during 2020-2021)
A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.

it's really satisfying to build on my skills. I had to rip back like 17 rows in my latest knitting project and it was no big deal. a year ago, I would have had to restart completely. I'm really glad I have this particular coping mechanism in my arsenal.
