And now ICE killed another man, under a week since the last person. This time, it was Joan Sebastian Guerrero
A fatal shooting by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Biddeford, Maine, has sparked outrage and calls for an investigation.
I can only say this: I'll stop hating everyone who didn't vote against Trump when their actions stop having consequences and when they stop lying that things would've been no different under Harris. So...never

And heâs running for reelection in 2028 to be there til heâs 101 years old
Satan needs to take him post haste
med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid đ" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times
"Before surgery, your bodyâs reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If thereâs food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. Thatâs called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you
I have four kids. Iâve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.
This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldnât feed them before those instances.
Iâm not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.
i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.
every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.
not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.
"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!

too lazy to retype this but . insane interaction w coworker last night
tell me you have never worked in customer service without telling me you've never worked in customer service
customer facing worker faces customers politely more at ten
6 hour workday maximum iâm not kidding, if it canât be done in that timeframe it doesnât need doing.
this doesn't apply to jobs like childcare
If i worked in childcare and my 6 hours were up i would start putting babies in ziploc bags and shipping them to Turkmenistan listed as endangered fruits and vegetables

Rest in peace Sam đď¸ 1947-2026
Sam Neill has sadly passed away at the age of 78.
very strange cottage industry on youtube of giving exhaustive "critiques" of harry potter that amount to things like "the magic school is dangerous and that's bad!!!" and treating that with equal severity as the fatphobia or the slavery apologia, then patting themselves on the back as if this amounts to some kind of praxis
cinemasins is not praxis lol. how about materially supporting and protecting trans people from joanne and forgetting about her wizard books
I loved harry potter growing up. it made me feel seen as an abused and closeted kid. I idolized and looked up to joanne, wanting to become an author like her
then she started funnelling all her wizard book money into destroying the rights of my people and I resolved not to give her any more of my money
I didn't have to reevaluate the quality of her writing to do this. whether she's good at keeping her worldbuilding consistent or whatever has nothing to do with my decision to boycott her work. who cares how good or bad her writing is. she's killing trans people
OP, you get it. This is exactly the problem.

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af
i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience
say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!
it would suck being a new immortal. like itâd be 2109 and people would go, âwhat was it like seeing ancient civilizations rise and fall like that? seeing the pyramids being built? watching the expansion and growth of the new world?â and iâd just be like, ânoâŚno i was born in 1991. so like, wow iâm gonna see some cool stuff, but, i mean iâm not that much older than just a really, really old person, you know? phones were big back then. so big. but only for like ten years, then they got like, as good as they are now. uh. rhinos existed. donât think i ever saw one in person. cool, good talk.â
even worse, imagine being an immortal who keeps missing stuff. âWhat was it like seeing the pyramids being built?â âFuck if I know, I was in Madagascar.â âOh, okay. Well, how was the Renaissance?â âI fell down a hole in Scotland and people thought I was an enchanted well for four hundred years, it was over by the time I convinced someone to get me out.â
And now, a lesson in biases:
We barely know anything about Madagascar pre-500CE. We donât even know whether the island had a permanent population before then, despite finding a bunch of much older signs of temporary human presence.
Malagasy mythology makes mention of the vazimba, a âprecursorâ ethnic group that might or might not be distinct from Madagascarâs current population.
The point is, we do not know.
So you were in Madagascar when the pyramids were being built in Egypt, i.e. during one of the most obscure, most undocumented parts of Madagascarâs human history?
Oh, buddy, you better go and make a bunch of anthropologists and archeologists really happy RIGHT NOW instead of feeling bad about missing everyone elseâs pet Major Event.
Itâs been a decade since we left that comment and you have the best reply anyoneâs left to it.

not to oversimplify an extremely complex discipline but if i had to pick one tip to give people on how to have more productive interactions with children, especially in an instructive sense, its that teaching a kid well is a lot more like improv than it is like error correction and you should always work on minimizing the amount of âno, wrongâ and maximizing the amount of âyes, and?â for example: we have a species of fish at the aquarium that looks a lot like a tiny pufferfish. children are constantly either asking us if thatâs what they are, or confidently telling us thatâs what they are. if you rush to correct them, you risk completely severing their interest in the situation, because 1. kids donât like to engage with adults who make them feel bad and 2. they were excited because pufferfish are interesting, and you have not given them any reason to be invested in non-pufferfish. Instead, if you say something like âIt looks a LOT like a tiny pufferfish, youâre right. But these guys are even funnier. Wanna know what theyâre called?â you have primed them perfectly for the delightful truth of the Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker
I was in martial arts for years, and in particular I kinda specialized in working with the younger kids.
The two Big Rules when instructing younger students was- 1. Compliment before Critique 2. Donât say âbutâ, say ânowâ
Praise kids on what they get right first, especially if they are struggling. Like OP said, kids donât like to engage with people who make them feel bad. They need encouragement when learning new things.
Number two boils down to this. If you tell a kid a compliment, then say âbut you need to fix thisâ, that âbutâ completely negates your compliment. Itâs gone. It was canceled out like adding a negative to a positive. Using âhey, that punch is looking great, now letâs focus on your stanceâ doesnât verbally cancel out the progress theyâve made. Itâs like theyâve checked off something on their list of stuff to work on.
Wording can absolutely make or break a childâs motivation and interest.
Rebloggling as itâs relevant in a Medical Education context
Honestly I use all of these to teach vet students too. I think people in general respond better to positivity in teaching. Not coddling, but acknowledging when a student got part way to the right answer, or had a good thought process, is something Iâve found keeps students engaged and builds confidence, which encourages them to keep going instead of shutting down and just âgetting throughâ a lab or a rotation

the Graham Platner campaign, and specifically the people who were pushing him online (Grim, Klippenstein, Stoller) was basically "aren't women bitches? aren't (((they))) keeping you from getting a better job? isn't it unfair that you can't use the r-word at work without some HR lady scold getting you in trouble? vote for Graham!" and now that the very obvious endpoint of that rhetoric has happened, they're throwing giant baby man tantrums because it turns out that the mean HR lady scolds may have actually had a point.
The thing about the Nazi tattoo is that a lot of people brushed it off with "oh, he didn't know what it meant, he's not REALLY a Nazi" or "who hasn't gotten an offensive tat as a young edgelord?" (. . . a lot of people?) and basically leaned hard on him not being a Nazi, just having an unfortunate tattoo. And I think that line of argument is meaningless.
Do I think Graham Platner is an ideologically committed Nazi? Probably not. I don't he has any real political commitments, truthfully. I think his highest allegiance is to power: he is attracted to symbols that affirm his masculinity, his spot at the top of the hierarchy. He wants to feel like a big man who can throw his weight around and have the people in his orbit understand that he is more important than they are, and symbols of Nazism give him that feeling. He is probably an anti-Semite, just because someone with his pathology needs a strictly defined out-group to prop up their own self-worth. He wants to act without consequence, whether those actions are tattooing hate symbols on himself, throwing a girlfriend into a room and locking her inside to avoid an argument, or forcing his way into a woman's house and raping her.
Graham Platner is the Mr. L of Dorothy Thompson's "Who Goes Nazi?" the feted labour leader with "the brains of Neanderthal man, but [. . .] an infallible instinct for power." Does he believe in National Socialism? It doesn't matter. If it offered him the power he clearly craves, he would be the most committed Nazi you ever saw.
