People seem to not understand that the Trump admin doesn't care if they reduce the number of nurses via making school unaffordable and further exasperate the dysfunction in our medical system. These people know they will always have access to healthcare, they just dont care if you do.

The Dept. of Education is making nursing degrees HARDER to afford, in the middle of a nursing shortage. That’s not reform, that’s reckless. Nurses keep our hospitals running, save our families, and hold our healthcare system together. They deserve MORE support, not less.

Restricting loans specifically for students training to be nurses, teachers, and therapists in an attempt to keep women out of the workforce is PEAK STUPIDITY.

BREAKING: 30 more Starbucks locations are joining the strike. Starbucks workers in 25 cities are jumping into the week-long strike. Now @sbworkersunited.org members at 95 stores in 65 cities have walked off the job.

‘I went to Thailand 10 months after equal marriage ruling – here’s what I saw’ https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/19/thailand-lgbtq-travel-review/?utm_content=1763676003&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky

🧪 A an angry reminder that 1. There is no causal link between vaccines & autism 2. Autism has a strong genetic component, involving ~500 genes 3. Tylenol is not linked to autism 4. RFQuack failed to get a journal to retract a large Danish study that showed no link btwn aluminum & autism

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

Every reporter covering this story needs to make something very, very, explicitly clear: VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM.

Hi! I'm one of the millions not getting SNAP benefits this month. Because of that + the fact that I (not a member of SAG-AFTRA) survived the strike by burning my savings rather than working SL6 or NU…my finances are *rough* but not *immediately dire.* I'm open to work with clients of all sizes. ✌🏻

What gets me in this video is that people are skeptical: "Is this for real? Is there a catch? Are you rich? Why are you doing this?" And more than anything, this tells you as much about where US society is than anything else... bsky.app/profile/card...

This is meant to stop stores from charging more not less. This is such a perversion of what this rule is meant to do.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!

Michigan’s House Bill 4938 would not only ban any depiction of a trans person presenting as their gender, but any written description, with up to 25 years in prison for any service provider caught violating sad ban. www.youtube.com/watc... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

they’re intenionally advertising to and recruiting far right loyalists. they post and reply to explicit groyper memes. they’re not super subtle about what this government is

"If that is what ICE's operations entail, they should not be an agency in the United States." Yes, this! ICE didn't exist until 2003; we can do without them again.

unfortunately my favorite Twoface panel wasn't even done by DC @evandorkin.bsky.social

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

Being avowedly transphobic truly marks someone as being stupid and unimaginative, no matter what else they try to dress it up as. No integrity, no curiosity, no "wow I have so much to learn," just... nothing. Boring, untidy, cowardly, delusional thinking. It's amazing that so many air it so openly.

"Sorry, there's just no money for new projects" "we have to lay off hundreds of people to cut costs" "that show/game/studio has been canceled and closed due to lack of profits"

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers: NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints. and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

just guess

Don't be like me and assume that because you have Democratic reps that they'll do the right thing. I learned the hard way so you don't have to. Light a fire under them.

A real highlight of @qgcon.bsky.social has been @murderveggie.bsky.social talking about proactive community management during (and before!) a crisis, which was a fantastic lesson in social media literacy.

Inktober sets completely unrealistic expectations regarding output. Making a complete inked drawing in one day EVERY day for a month is insane and a recipe for burnout. Don’t tie your worth to something that even professionals believe is unrealistic.
