IRB approval/exemption for my dissertation study has been granted. PhD candidacy is pending. Code book is started with practice interviews up next, and then I’ll be putting out my request for participants. Nurse educators, if you teach skills lab and/or check off nursing student skills, stay tuned!

Wounded Knee, Standing Rock, and Pine Ridge…history certainly rhymes.

That moment when one realizes that accusations of being mean and bitter are actually projections by white Christian nationalists...

The irony of a DJT voter complaining about how expensive healthcare is even with insurance…

Here’s your reminder that every accusation coming from DT and his lackeys is a confession.

Looking for tagging suggestions for future dissertation participant recruitment that would reach our nursing education colleagues. What ideas do you have? #nurseeducator #phdjourney #academia #highered #highereducation #nursingeducation

I'm learning more all the time about power, who holds it, and how we shift power.

When is the right time to start the conversation? In healthcare, it's immediately after the event occurs. The sooner the better. If not now, then when? "Too soon" is a policy choice of the powerful. If not now, it will once again be too late for another family.

Mysticism through Writing

Poverty is a policy choice, not a personal choice.

My rage and injustice meter is peaking today. What are we being distracted from?

Dunning-Kruger Christianity: People who know just enough about the worst parts of religion and nothing about the kindness and grace parts.

Wisconsin, do your thing…work your magic today to protect democracy. Tell the oligarch where to go.

This is the blueprint. Get on board or get out of the way, but don’t sabotage the movement by being picky.

Sunday morning worship used to mean hectic schedules and wrangling kids to be somewhere on time. Now it’s peace, calm, and gently welcoming the sunrise over the mountains. Shifting my focus toward the Mother is salvation.

“History isn’t what happened, it’s who tells the story.”-Sally Roesh Wagner in Rewriting Eve by Ronna Detrick

Winning is having MAGA family block me for critiquing their for profit prophet.

Nurse friends, what can you tell me about nursesforamerica.net? @muellershewrote.bsky.social had a guest in her show that is part of this organization. That automatically lends credibility in my eyes. Just curious as to your experiences.

I’m growing my collection of women/characters to admire who have been vilified by those who consider themselves to be the arbiters of “good”. The list includes Eve and her serpent friend, Elphaba from Wicked, Mary Magdalene, and now Bishop Budde. Who is on your list?

Rising egg prices may seem like a challenge, but they also offer a chance to explore affordable and sustainable alternatives. From common kitchen staples to innovative plant-based products, there are egg substitutes for every recipe and lifestyle. By embracing these options, we can improve...

Watching the chuminess of DJT and Newsom made me once again wonder if we are all pawns in some multi-dimensional Monopoly game.

Mitch McConnell, it’s a bit late to try and save your legacy as a statesman. History will place the whole crapshow squarely in your lap.

PhD candidate friends…say something to motivate me to get busy. So much I need to do. So little interest in doing anything.

Family member sends me a video by a loud, over-caffeinated “prophet” lady who attempts to convince me why God’s presence was not with #BishopBudde and why I am wrong. When I presented scripture, facts, and the words of Jesus in response, they of course doubled down arguing they know the Bible 1/

Lots of good ideas to prepare, no matter who is in charge, but especially now.

You can make a difference one meal at a time.

The Jack Smith report as read by Allison Gill.

One of the most powerful actions we can take to reduce the effects of climate change is shift to a plant dominant diet. More beans, less meat. Start smelling this seems daunting. Meatless Monday, for example. Veganuary is in full swing, but you can start at any time. Need ideas? Hit me up.

Rewriting an article that was submitted for publication sixth months ago is NOT on my list of things that constitute a good time.

May God hold those who are battling the fires, keeping them safe. May the Public honor them and give them the raises and healthcare they deserve.

Just do it!!!

Hmm…a new pandemic to welcome in 2025. What could possibly go wrong this time?

If you haven’t found Danielle’s poetry yet, especially this gem, here’s your sign…

How does Judge Merchan's decision to sentence Trump in 12/10, even to no prison time have the potential to make sure hes help accountable? Read on joycevance.substack.com/p/before-ina...

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.

There’s nothing quite like the energy of ocean waves at dusk before a thunderstorm. It’s like plugging into a feminine power source.

This tracks!

Education should always be the optimal choice. Affordable education is key.

I was never much of a Twitter person, so the 47 bazillion follows by people whose names and photos appear to be male is a bit disconcerting. Also, if you claim to be a doctor and your tagline is “saving lifes” with zero other content, congratulations! You are automatically blocked.

Y’all know oligarchies are bad, right?

What are we going to do about this and similar situations?

I love the drone panic because its a reminder that despite all our technology and societal advancement we're never more than one unanswered question from reverting to peasants worried we'll make the stars mad

More kitchen witching’ today as I continue to move through this cold and sinus experience.

Today, I spent a little more for my groceries (I recognize my privilege to even be able to do that) at our local co-op so as not to give as much to the corporate giant behemoth. Unfortunately there were a few things I wanted (notice I didn’t say needed) 🧵
