  • I have to say, I suspected this. Being honest. I said to myself, “What could run off Stamets,” and that’s exactly what I came up with. The benefit of being closer to 40 than 30 I guess.

    Now to join your community. Thank you genuinely for commenting here for me to see directly. I’m not good at creating content (every time I ever got a burst of creativity on reddit I was banned for posting too much so I just stopped making memes) but I comment like a sumbitch!

    As a Southern gal myself, I got whiplash from the implication that people sayin “fixin” are trying to sound important.

    I promise, among those of us who say that kinda thing, it’s seen as a mark of ignorance and bein low class in general. The idea that a hillbilly accent can seem “important” is banana sandwiches to me.

















  • I’ve been on Lemmy talking about this for ages. Listen. I’m in healthcare. I work under the Deparment of Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities in a 501c3 doing residential care.

    The health care system in America is absolutely fucked from top down.

    I’m working constantly. We do not have enough people. In my particular field, we are vastly underpaid for the work we do, so no one wants to do it. The jobs are there, the labor isn’t. And listen, no one in this job can blame them!

    We’re so burned out that every time yet another person quits we all nod and say, “Good for them” and soldier on, because if we stop showing up, these people will die.

    That’s just residential care. People living communally with disabilities wind up in every facet of health care (urgent care, hospitals, physicians) at an insane rate, so I see different facilities almost every day, and everywhere I go the story is the same!

    Something has to give. You can’t order us to work and eventually the rising cost of living will force people like me to give up on these marginalized populations. Every LPN and CNA I know has quit healthcare altogether because it’s not worth it. The only one I know who still works is a PRN contractor who charges over $30/hour to work in nursing homes. We have to do something or there won’t be anyone left to treat anyone!
