yesterday I started a new job at a healthcare practice and I am still reeling over how I was treated for masking.
in orientation, one of the new providers kept turning around to stare at me.
when I was introduced to the team, a handful gave me dirty looks. one even asked if I

$50k annually works out to $24.04 hourly, about what minimum wage should be if it were tied to inflation and productivity
we should all be making $50k minimum
@dan_skeptic
we need bodily autonomy. why should the husband's desires take precedence over the wife's? he doesn't have to carry a baby for nine months.
@knguyenpoetry
my department made 140% of goal last month. in march, they said if we met or exceeded goal they'd give us a bonus. you know what we got for the month of may? a fucking taco lunch.
@genxjenh
the vast majority are ambivalent; one even said she'd try to hunt down a mask for today but no luck.
it's an intensive behavioral health practice who goes on and on about how proud they are of remission rates but what good is remission if your patient dies of covid YOU GAVE THEM
@halomancer1
ok I'll be honest $1 a year isn't bad but since he fired the entire security team I simply do not trust twitter to keep my financial information secure so I would never pay 🤷♀️
@SRA_DFW
it's funny because this IS unacceptable. armed militia members shouldn't have to defend destitute people with no roof over their head who are simply existing. we SHOULD fund homes for all. but that isn't who we are more, so armed militia members it is.
@prstskrzkrk
a tenant dying on your property is just one of the risks you take as a landlord. tough shit. if you wanted a safer investment get into bonds.

when I worked at malwart part of my job was disposing dozens of large bins of food every night.
they did not pay me enough to afford rent and food. I was starving.
do you have any idea how painful it is to waste food when your belly is empty. when your body is eating itself.
@CovidintheChart
that's like unbuckling someone's seatbelt and driving into oncoming traffic. fucks sake. if they can't press charges I hope they can discharge that patient. unbelievable. and after the past four years of HCW sacrificing so much to keep our society functional. I'm at a loss.

if you want him to resume his posting you could try supporting a ceasefire. you know, instead of mocking someone for calling attention to the death and destruction of his people.

in high school my BFF was introducing me to her pastor who asked me how I was and I meant to say "I'm fine" and "hi" but it came out "I'm high"
@brownecfm
reminds me of the implementation of hand washing in the medical field. Semmelweis died mocked, ostracized, and in an asylum for daring to say "maybe doctors should take basic steps to avoid killing their patients"
@BadMedicalTakes
does.. does he think you only take your birth control when you need your births controlled? like "oh I'm meeting Steve later, better remember my pill!"?
he does, doesn't he.
@Gritty20202
I decided I needed to job hunt because my current employer has refused a wage increase for the third year in a row and nobody, I mean nobody, is paying a dime more. I literally cannot afford to live. $350 for a couple weeks of groceries for one person? $1350 for a one bedroom??
finally sitting down to watch Oh Brother Where Art Thou for the first time and it's like this was synthetically engineered in a lab to be my favorite movie what the fuck hie has this been hiding from me for 24 years

"we must protect children from sexual predators by sexually predating children" their argument is so off-the-wall bonkers it only makes sense if the goal is to punish trans people

my mother, a republican, spent her life fighting tooth and nail to tear down the social safety nets we have in place
now she's in long term care, will likely need it all her life, and is angry about her financial situation
she cannot understand that this is the world she wanted
@TheMcKenziest
I'm not trying to fraudulently recieve bills or services; I'm fraudulently trying to find a job so I don't end up as free slave labor for the state. y'all wrote the rules this way and you can't be surprised when we write a few of our own!
@hawillisdc
on a scale of 1 to 10 how bad is this? they sprayed it with some shit a few months back and it doesn't seem to have grown but I'm also concerned about the leak causing this to grow!
@dndnbee
two week notices are a myth. legally, they can accept your resignation the day you submit it and you're just out two weeks pay. I'm putting weight in a chair until next friday

@Suite_Tea
just.. imagine another timeline where every banked hour of PTO he couldn't use he had spent it doing something he enjoyed. a hobby, a project, anything other than fucking work. or the bonds he could have built with family and friends, instead of the machine you're a cog in.
hello friends,
it is with a heavy heart I come to you, begging for your help. my beloved cat needs care and I have met my financial limit. without intervention, the most humane thing to do is euthanization. he can still be saved, but I need your help:
@BadMedicalTakes
tweets like these make me realize how lucky I was to grow up in the short window where we had modern medicine but not an internet filled to the brim with dangerous ideas about raising children. yeah, we had lawn darts, but everyone on the block got vaccinated!
@LolOverruled
since mine has already been posted, twice, I'm sharing a lovely photo of my cat, Sir Macaroni, Lord of Cheese. we just celebrated 12 years together 🧡

if you have a cervix you should really get a pap smear
it's over and done with in five minutes and could help you live years longer
pap smears ftw

ok then my prayers have turned from "save the people of florida" to "drown those developers, specifically, and everyone who emboldened them to commit this atrocity, but spare the innocents as any good god would"
@BadMedicalTakes
I've been menstruating for 25 years and I don't think I've discharged that much cervical fluid accumulatively, let alone in a single cycle
@Imani_Barbarin
hey, I was nearly one of those "over 50k". shit's rough and the screws just get tighter every goddamn day. the only thing keeping me here is the thought that my senior cat might have to spend the rest of his life in a shelter and he doesn't deserve that. when he goes, who knows?

NEVER eat the rich. toxic chemicals bioaccumulate; eating the rich could be damaging to our health.
COMPOST the rich and fertilize your garden! 🙂

my mom had insurance but she couldn't afford to treat her cancer so she just ignored it until the growth cut off her GI tract. by then they had to amputate her jaw. do you think her healthcare costs went down after that? fuck no. she couldn't pay the new bills and it killed her.

Mac would like to join 🥰 I've lost count of how many times we've been to the vet in the last week and a half. poor baby just wants to lay on his heating pad and breathe more frequently than a resting cat should 😭

it is known that women communicate using electrical impulses across thread-like filaments called hyphae; the filaments form a thin web called a mycelium

@RepMarkPocan
take it from me, a medical biller: you absolutely do not want someone you care about to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan. I have spent 40 hours a week for the last 20 years fighting insurance companies, and these plans are absolutely awful.
@mferrini
did you really tee this up and click post thinking you had a gotcha with this? any chance you did that on your break time? outside your 40 hour work week? it looks like you have been busy on twitter on the weekends, so you seem to have that time available to you... shall I go on?
@danielleweisber
the $3.31 discrepancy presents a loss of $6884.80 per 2080 hours worked (full time). how many workers do you know that could desperately use an extra $6.8k?

recently checked into an ER with trigeminal nerve pain so incapacitating I told the doctor I would rather not live that live with this pain and they sent me home with 600 mg ibuprofen and an antibiotic
