Genuinely the world feels a little less magical today 😢

Learning Lindsey Graham died before Mitch McConnell, on TikTok no less, feels like I got served the wrong dessert. Like, I’m not *complaining* and I’m definitely gonna eat it…but can I get the chocolate cake I asked for?

Update: my son’s surgery has been postponed thanks to Blue Cross Blue Shield’s unethical denial. I’m better equipped than most to fight this. Nobody should have to.

(Not directed at David) The larger issue is that Frey refuses, point-blank, to listen to Harm Reduction and SUD experts on what WILL reduce “open air drug markets” and falls back on Republican policing strategy EVERY DAMN TIME. He’s a small man puffed up by hubris and repeatedly failing upward.

Denying a surgery claim 3 days prior when it’s been scheduled for 6 months is unethical and should be illegal. All healthcare insurance must be abolished. The only people who can determine what you need for healthcare are YOU and your care team. Period.

Whoever “vetted” Platner needs to be on a blacklist as well.

30 MINUTES TO KICKOFF VAMOS MÉXICOOOOOOOOO 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Alright y’all, wrap it up and go to bed. This has already been one helluva night 🥴

On shift for the 4th! Please be responsible with fireworks and explosives tonight and keep each other safe!

We kept the whimsy and the messiness 😈

You rang? 🤗🤗🤗 First- contact your local HR org and see what free supplies are available. They usually have IM Naloxone as well as nasal. I carry both but go with what you’re comfortable using. STB- (1) CAT (tourniquet) (5) 4x4 gauze pads (1) 5x9 ABD (1-2) blue tourniquet rolls (1) Chest seal

I hate to ask but Loki’s new hooman needs a hand with medical procedure and follow up that is beyond what I can help him with. If you’re able, every little bit helps. Please and thank you 🙏 Boosts are also greatly appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/help-loki-...

"We have been deployed in full BDUs to protect an algae infested pond from being "touched" by the public. We are a pair of fucking clown shoes being worn by the circus monkey"

God bless @sleepyneutrons.bsky.social for putting up with 20+ years of me sobbing “I’m gonna fail, I can’t do this” and consistently forcing me to prove myself wrong. Dude’s a fucking saint.

Happy Juneteenth, frens!

I don’t know how many Utah ppl are on BlueSky but there’s a bill up in the legislature that will gut EMS across your state and leave you at the mercy of private ambulance services. Please call your reps and tell them to vote No on HR 7739.

If you’re a potential target of the administration- Since it’s summer and kids are home, have an age appropriate conversation about not letting anyone into the house. Don’t open the door. Practice what they should say. Get a parent. For my kids it’s “every day is shut the fuck up Friday.”

We know how to do this, Minnesota. We’ve been loud, brave, and together before. We got this

A wedding in Hawaii. Mostly Aussie with a couple of us yokels tagging along. The bachelor/bachelorette party begins in Honolulu on Waikiki. I am pumped. I am child free. I am READY. *4 hours later* I am dRunK. Is tHis a McDoNaLd’s? OH HI NEW FRENS CAN YOU HELP ME GET FRIES? *blacks out*

There are 3 varieties of White you should never try to keep pace with at a bar or a party: Aussies Irish Scottish Their livers are battle-tested. Yours has barely scrimmaged in comparison.

Who’s got 2 thumbs and gave herself a heat injury digging up invasive plants in the yard yesterday? THIS BITCH RIGHT HERE 🥴

My loves, please stay doing your business on Signal

May I never be the kind of dumb American who tries to pontificate on the complexities of Irish unrest in 20-goddamn-26 while ignoring how a country became split in two. Christ our leadership is feloniously stupid 🙄

Angry women with flamethrowers is something I’m going to be totally normal about.

“If you have universal healthcare provides won’t get paid as much.” 70% of your rural EMS and 70% of all firefighters are UNPAID VOLUNTEERS. WHAT’S LESS THAN ZERO JOHNONATHAN?!

“If they can force you to have health insurance they can force you to-“ TO WHAT KEVIN? BUILD DATA CENTERS? PAY FOR DRINKING WATER? PROP UP CRYPTO SCHEMES?

AI is a great tool for people that have brains so smooth you could skip their gray matter across a lake.

All these pictures of Open Streets have me ready to move back to Minneapolis IMMEDIATELY 😭 TAKE ME BACK MINNESOTA!!!

Graduation dinner with Mom 💜💜💜

So I don’t know what fuckin barn y’all were raised in but screaming so loud and long that the next kids’ names can’t be heard is fucking inexcusable behavior. Happened multiple times tonight and I felt bad for the kids & parents it happened to.

Angie Craig is just so goddamn embarrassing.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! Excited to celebrate and support this year both as a mom and as a volunteer medic. Remember you are always Safe With Me 💜💜💜

alien: take me to your leader Me: here you go alien: this? this is it? This is where important decisions are made? Me: 🤷🏽‍♂️ I guess Alien, zaps me with a ray gun

Today 6 years ago was the 4th day of the historic people’s uprising against police terror & anti-Blackness after the murder of George Floyd. This film from May 29, 2020, features interviews, police violence & a city on fire while under curfew with the National Guard in the streets of Minneapolis.

This montage of footage by Unicorn Riot shows demonstrators chasing police away from the Third Precinct, invading it, setting it on fire, and celebrating with fireworks as it burns down on the night of May 28, 2020. Remember what we are capable of together. 🏴 crimethinc.com/Uprising2020

My husband is a fucking Disney Princess I swear.

Don’t worry folks I’m medicated and ready for the ride. Gimme your first impression of me 🥴

There’s a great paramedic on TikTok, @electricc_medic, who gave a rundown of his first cardiac arrest as the PIC and how nuanced a call it can be to cease resuscitation efforts. It’s not always about IF you make the call but when and where it gets made. Excellent account to follow for EMS education.

@medickimw.bsky.social do you find this as relatable as I do.

I cannot thank y’all enough for all the congratulations. To the ever-present frustration of my Minneapolis community, I’ve always underestimated myself & my skills until the shit hits the fan. Y’all’s encouragement and support mean everything to me 💜

I PASSED!!!

“Maryland is a trans friendly state with constitutionally enshrined protections.” And this right here is why it doesn’t make me feel like my kid is safe. Even here. Even in Minnesota or Massachusetts or any other “friendly” state. Because evil spreads like kudzu.

Nobody hates EMTs more than the NREMT exam writers.

I can't read the article about Juniper Blessing. I'm about to send my own soon to be 19YO off into a world that hates him for being him & I can't read that without seeing his face there & I'm literally crying at the airport just typing this out.

UK voters were SO PAINFULLY CLEAR at the last election that they were giving Labour ONE LAST CHANCE to do something and Starmer fumblefucked at the goal line. You can’t blame them for holding to that. I hope US Dems take note. It’s not enough to be “not Republican”. You have to DO SOMETHING.

Minnesota did not go through all that to have people who live elsewhere do a weird one-up thing. It’s not a competition and we’re all in it together Resistance will look different in New York just like it did in Chicago and LA. We learned from those before us and we’ve got your back too ✊

The worst MD grifter is back on her ivermectin shit again and I need assurances that once this is all over she gets stripped of everything that allows her to practice medicine. My sanity is hanging on by a thread.

It’s going to take decades and cost thousands of lives to undo the catastrophic damage to public health and medical care this addlepated fuckmuppet did in 4 years. And I want him to rot in prison for his part in it. I want justice and revenge.

My dad is dead - no MH treatment, committed suicide. I was 3. My little brother is in prison. Off his meds, ran from the cops & threatened to blow up a gas station. My older brother won't take his meds & spends all day arguing with voices in his head. I'd be dead without MH care & the right meds. 1/
