Laughter is medicine. G’night all

Where are my fellow @ahcu.bsky.social healthcare workers at at? Is there a #NursesOfBluesky yet? Wouldn't it be nice to have competitive wages again, to recruit and retain excellent staff? Kaiser can do better! #OneVoiceOneFuture @ofnhp.bsky.social (not OC)

I've had 2 people assume my eye glitter was tracks of tears. Prob a sign that I should do something different.

Kristy "puppy killer" Noem at PDX ICE facility as of 10 min ago. #Portland per trusted source

Day 2 of posting a cat every day we work without a contract. I am an @ofnhp.bsky.social nurse. This is my cat. Many of my patients have cats, and I distract them from thinking about the sutures I am removing by chatting about their cats. I LOVE my job AND we need a good contract. #OneVoiceOneFuture

Posting a cat every day I work without a contract @ Kaiser. Ours expired @ midnight here in the Pacific Northwest. I am a nurse in the Portland area. I want to stop losing new grads and experienced nurses to local places that pay better. #ExpiredContract day 1 #OneVoiceOneFuture @ofnhp.bsky.social

Day one of working with and expired contract at Kaiser. @ofnhp.bsky.social nurses were up til 2AM bargaining + coming to terms with the fact that the management team did not seem to actually want to bargain with us. Going to see what the other BUs say tonight. #OneVoiceOneFuture @ahcu.bsky.social

Older lady: yeah this is kind of what it was like in the 60s. Me: oh, how did you get through things, any tips for living through these times OL: just put your head down and try to get by Me: 💀

Feelings: * mom from Ecuador pleading with ICE brownshirt that her husband would be killed if sent back (it was their ASYLUM hearing) * a 10 year old in my town was killed and the neighborhood is rallying to support the family * starvation as a war crime * all children deserve fucking safety + love

Ok ok ok work is a lot, we might be striking, my nation is marching through stages of authoritarianism, but my pets are great, my fam is full of love, garden full of tomatoes, and im about to defeat Ketheric Thorm on bg3 HONOR MODE. I hope. Check you later.

Contracts expire IN SIX DAYS for many @ahcu.bsky.social union locals, including my own @ofnhp.bsky.social @aft.org 5017. I just saw our employer refused to open the door to UFCW 770 to accept a petition signed by hundreds of members. So, it is not going as well as I'd hoped. #OneVoiceOneFuture

Just another reminder that Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625% which is FAR lower than private sector retirement programs.

Acet ... aceta... you just can't fool me again.

I went to my nephew's bday party, and i am feeling so thankful. My nephew and my own kiddo are loved so much and there is so much love that is in the world and ao much more is possible. I am filled with so much joy and so much sorrow at the same time, it leaks out of my damn eyes.

I will be on the picket line. BTW 97%, wow.

One of the WIPs I'm working on. This is the back of a knitted vest - reverse stockinette with 3 cables. Pretty easy. Should result in a nice and cozy layer.

Eight days until Kaiser contracts with @ahcu.bsky.social expire. Tick tock, KP. Hoping you realize it is "in your interest" to bargain with your current employees before you buy ANOTHER SYSTEM AGAIN. I am a #nurse and stand with Alliance members #CoastToCoast

Current craft WIP: knit back of cabled vest, crochet packers, 2 hats, mending pile, cake up rest of yarn for vest. The handspun yarn, purchased at an estate sale, won a "honorable mention" at a state fair.

I have been very slowly advancing my Honor Mode on bg3. Just freed the Nightsong. Level 9 with a Paladin tav. I haven't multiclassed. Everything seems relatively doable so far, but still nervous about the whole Ketheric thing coming up.

The full order: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... Because this cam out of the blue and sudden: other, similar orders could come out of the blue and sudden. So those on visas will surely consider international travel a potential risk, and opt for zoom calls over flying when possible

It looks like people have been contributing to the CDC(.)gov captures on web.archive.org on an ongoing basis. I don’t know how to look at specifics on that site to determine whether or not everything has already been captured.

Oregonians won't suffer Trump's big ugly tax scam replicated at home. Policymakers must act ASAP to STOP Trump's reckless cuts from becoming Oregon's code!

Just see it as an unprecedented collaboration between a media corporation and a dictator who has yet to full amass their power.

"America did not get to the bad place it is in today by accident. We are here as a result of the combination of a political system that serves money, and a half-century long explosion of economic inequality that has produced an oligarchy."

97% YES VOTE for our #strike vote here in Oregon and Washington @ofnhp.bsky.social @aft-oregon.org local 5017. 92% of my union siblings voted!!! We are 60,000 strong #CoastToCoast in the @ahcu.bsky.social Alliance of Kaiser Unions! #Nurse #Union

The last week or so, I've gotten a little of purning toint posts/ads in my fb feed. Before I even looked up info on what happened. Its not only Sinclair that's the problem, i know yall know. The big tech oligarchs are not for the people either. I know you know. Its so blatant.

So not only is Kimmel off the air, and his next time slot is being replaced with a tribute for someone who thinks many people shouldn't exist, Also Sinclair is demanding an apology and a donation to Turning Point. Turning Point, whose goal is to end the existence of people who aren't them. Wtf

So weird that a boss would send out a misleading message during bargaining, right? While mngmt stalls, comes "unprepared" and gets ready to hire strikebreaker nurses, our teams show up ready to negotiate in good faith. Proud to be a union nurse. #OneVoiceOneFuture @ofnhp.bsky.social

>:(

@ofnhp.bsky.social RN Bargaining Unit! Another tele town hall after Bargaining on Thursday. See your email for details ♡♡ #Contract is counting down. We have days to go.

youtu.be/wIyTDf3SZqM?... Today is day TWO of voting. I voted YES as soon as I got my ballot. Standing arm in arm with my @ofnhp.bsky.social unit (the RNs), in solidarity with all our other units ♡ and all the locals in the @ahcu.bsky.social ♡♡♡ #United #OneVoiceOneFuture #CoastToCoast

I have been a union nurse with @ofnhp.bsky.social for nearly 20 years. Did you know >60% of my tech union siblings have been food insecure in the last year? My main concern is staffing, but I'm voting yes for everyone in @ahcu.bsky.social to win what they need. #Solidarity #Strike #OneVoiceOneFuture

Still this AM Spencer cox is saying the sh***** had a leftist ideology. Smh

I've been making these little videos to cope with having 20 days left on my @ofnhp.bsky.social contract. I am a 20 year Kaiser RN. I love my team and the work. And yet I watch more and more friends leave for other orgs who pay $5-20 more an hour. We need wages that recruit/retain #OneVoiceOneFuture

Good. Now do healthcare.

Taking a nursing CEU course on global nursing. Reinforces that our current USA govt is incompatible with nursing goals such as: no poverty, zero hunger quality education, gender equality, clean water/sanitation, reduced inequalities, sustainable communities, peace and justice. What is my bandwidth?

Crocheting something to donate with some gifted pale blue cotton yarn.

I do like CEUs where I can watch a video and crochet. Helps my brain focus better than some formats.

Checking my hater reflex: I need CEUs and I catch myself thinking that "life/" nurse coach" are vague terms, so I'm taking a class on it. Going in, must say seems to be a way for burned out nurses to tell other burned out RNs that they too can quit their jobs. Lets see if I can change my mind. ...

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports. Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy. RFK Jr. must resign now!

Chicago like 1246 pm on 9/6/2025

This pains my heart but I agree. All CDC webpages used to be extensively (too much sometimes imo!) reviewed before being published. Now we can't be certain whether some are altered by political cronies without staff knowing. World Health Organization is a great resource too.

Heck yes

Slowly advancing my BG3 honor mod. Finally did Last Light fight and won pretty easily with my Tav Paladin. With Astarion's persuasion skills, no fights at House of Healing but ill go back for the XP. Said no to Araj, prompted the talk, and Gale called me a Cone of Cold - new, unexpected, rude haha
