shots fired

there are 168 hrs in a week

these kids have to "be able" to go without nurses in order to be eligible for home based services, because "if they needed" 24/7 care, they'd be in a nursing home

this is the tradeoff

it isn't fair
it isn't what's best
& it could get worse with cuts

medicaid matters!

We can't afford more cuts to services like these. Parents barely get enough support with current benefits

In NH, the Katie Beckett waiver covers kids like Lucy, issuing private duty nursing hours based on need

but even the neediest kids max out at 96-112 hours (or so it used to be)

Medicaid Stories | NH Medicaid Matters

but what's even sadder is that without medicaid, little Lucy has to live in a nursing home or in a hospital

because without a machine she could not breathe

& without a nurse, the machine isn't always enough

& you know what pays for these private duty nursing services in the US?

Medicaid.

once upon a time there was a healthy little girl who was playing safely, with a parent doing everything right

and a tragic accident occurred
hospital bills bankrupted
& little Lucy was not the same

could not walk
could not talk
needed a tube to eat

it's sad, no doubt

Ah! New Hampshire sorry & thank you

Hey Concord, same lady, same problem

I hope she’s okay

If you’re driving in Concord today, please be extra mindful of pedestrians not paying attention 🫶🏻

I hope she’s okay ☹️

sounds like plant girl math where if you bought a $600 plant for $60, you’ve basically donated to charity

See how it works? …No?

My accountant doesn’t like it either

ICE detained more than 70 Minnesota children, data reveals Immigration officials detained more than 70 Minnesota children between Dec. 1 and March 10, a Sahan analysis of court records and federal deportation data shows.

Pulitzer-worthy reporting here from Minnesota immigrant news @sahanjournal.bsky.social.

70+ children detained during Operation MetroSurge.

30 sent to Dilley. Two dozen held >20 days, a Flores violation.

7 still detained as of March 10. ~20 have been deported.

I love them so much
each of them, individually

I just don’t know who to trust when it comes to my child’s health: their pediatrician or these garishly-bronzed, elderly pedophiles who can’t do basic math

I dislike how, when you’re an adult, time passes in such a way that it feels like you go to the dentist weekly

I’d like to introduce you to some issues I care about & my favorite leaves 🫶🏻 #nhtok YouTube video by Aslynn (The AuDHD PsychNP)

Listen, I don’t really watch short form content either, but if I’m gonna make it, I might as well post it here

I respect all of you for ignoring my nonsense

Please continue to do other more worthy things while I embarrass myself on the internet by making silly videos

It does seem like something my partner would point out to me and now I’m deciding steam or switch

MEEK - Fabulous (Official Video) YouTube video by MEEK

this morning he sent me a song that made him think of me and it’s the spring anthem I didn’t know I needed

in our version that plays in the movie of my life it’s that I FEEL fabulous

because IDGAF how I look

but I look like I feel fucking fabulous 💅🏻

& it’s the world that broke my heart ❤️‍🩹

I started working with the person I refer to as my “mentor” back in 2018

He saw me as a floor nurse

He saw me as an NP student

As a PMHNP-BC when I passed the test

as a new grad in my first job

a frightened employee x3 when shit went sideways

my autism diagnosis

my breakdown

my rebirth

me

Omg cool!!! Thank you!

Wait... what?! I don't generally play games but... "Strange Horticulture is an occult puzzle game in which you play as the proprietor of a local plant store. Find and identify new plants, pet your cat, speak to a coven, or join a cult." 👀

They’re releasing a medley of songs and oh my goodness I am here for it! “Belting” in ASL looks so cool!!!

SO
COOL!

Hmmmmmm well I’m not going to test it for my name but consider me impressed

I still wish UNH had more soul than this though

SO sweet!

I like the kindergartener idea a lot

Ask AI how to say my name

I mean, except don’t do that actually because ew but my point is, computers GENERALLY have no idea how to pronounce my name

This won’t go better than a human who practices once!

To avoid mispronounced graduates’ names at commencement, UNH leans on AI-generated voices - The Boston Globe When graduates walk across the stage to receive their diplomas at the University of New Hampshire, their names will be read aloud, but not by a human. Instead, the momentous occasion will feature audi...

Ohhhh it’s NOT the Onion…? Cool.

cool cool cool
