'is nursing blue-collar work' is one of those questions we really need to address because while the education might say not the working conditions and level of unionization is an emphatic yes

women are about 78% of the healthcare workforce in america. i know people know this but it’s always worthwhile to state it outright. not only is it gendered to underpay healthcare workers but men who get “caught up” in it are undervalued for doing female-coded work. same with teachers.

It will never not bother me how often when you’re talking to someone — in life, for work, w/e — who is struggling that that person works in healthcare. Nurses, orderlies, home health aids, people who draw blood, etc

He’s actually a sadist who derives sick pleasure from such acts of cruelty.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Complex job, to be sure, but getting involved with the mobsters was probably the wrong move.

It sounds like poker pros travel around looking for arrogant marks to win money from, and Billups presented himself as one of those but actually cheated the pros when they showed up. No one looks super honorable here TBH and it's kind of clear why the pros didn't complain much

No, we’re not. That happened in 2020 and this is a ripple.

We’re all tired of this lazy, race-based criticism.

Seems like a harmless admittance of ignorance on a niche topic.

My uncle once vanished for two years and turned up on the couch one day. It turned out he'd run off with a girl to Utah, was arrested, forced to become a policeman in a bars-or-stripes situation, and then fled the state when he was forced to participate in UT's last execution by firing squad.

Eliot was such a brilliant American poet/critic that they let him be a honorary English Gentleman.

Eliot scholars always make a big deal out of his adoption of the Anglican Faith, but the journey for Boston Brahmins from Calvinist to Unitarian to Episcopalian is, in reality, very short.

This baseball crowd in Toronto is electric! Bunch of hockey goons in an old-fashioned dome. Feels like a game in early 90’s (pre shift to Neo-Old-fashioned style in late 90’s, such as Camden Yards).

I prefer Bluesky to X (formerly known as Twitter) because there’s not too many edgy ‘radicals’ from either side around these parts.
