I work for a medical answering service and our UI has spellcheck; in the spirit of 'ducking', it wants to change 'epistaxis' to 'pistachios', 'geriatric' to 'gerbils', and it doesn't recognize its own system name as a legitimate word.

Generation Jones.

Totally the rules!!!

This. I've seen similar about how people who knit or crochet are destroying the world. Because yes there's issues with the manufacturing of literally everything. It's interesting to me that it's so often focused on hobbies women have, and finding new ways to devalue and stigmatise them. 🧶

Here's a longer piece I wrote that talks about Skrmetti and what the Court should do to protect trans people because the Constitution demands it.

<- had a prof in 1st semester of grad school that required the final paper to be 'completely original work' (bc previous students had reworked undergrad projects) & mine was 'too good' to have been 'completely original' so she gave me a B, thus damning my hope for a 4.0 GPA. Only damn B I got, too.

It's still a major imbalance, granted! And SF =/= PHX where I lived til 2015 or PDX where I live now, but almost everyone I know still living in PHX has 2+ jobs / another source of income (or is on SS but still needing to work) or lives with family / has housemates. Even with all the 'new jobs'.

But is it an ~11:1 imbalance or a ~4:1 imbalance (or somewhere in between)? I (sadly) doubt those 700k jobs are f/t or would support 700k ppl/families. Maybe 250k as I suspect many 'new jobs' are p/t. Cheaper for employees to hire 2 @ 30 hrs than 1 @ 40 hrs. Half again the labor w/o paying benefits.

Obsessive Quesadilla! 🤣

The report itself def could've been a fax; not sure how well images would render? In this day & age, though, one would hope that if physical media were given to a patient to hand carry it would be a flash drive - willing to bet there are drs' offices with no optical drive on any of their computers 🤔
