A nurse spent 22 years learning which doctor ordered what, what he was likely to get wrong, the names of her patients' children. She quit. Worked at a garden center for 14 months. Came back to a floor where she's now the only one who knows where the crash cart is.

The app dials for us so we only get live people who pick up their phones & not answering machines or endless ringing.
It's a great app with big clear text & an easy-to-read script.
Try it even for just 20 minutes & you'll feel soooo good about yourself for making a difference!
Great Starter Pack
With Bluesky acting up all day, this was supposed to be out this morning. I posted it, and then got an error and thought it didn't post. Hours later I noticed that it had. 😂
If you know someone that creates a lot of Starter Packs or just tags and boosts people, please tag them and I will add them.
Nice Starter Pack!!
Take out 15 minutes of your day today and read this.
You’re welcome.

A very important lesson every American needs to learn. We can't fight what we're unaware of. It's a long essay, but worth the time!

Hi friends. Please SHARE!
I need to get at least 50% of the way to this initial goal ASAP. Can you help?
I have a Signatera test and a PET scan that I can't afford and it would ease my heart to pat a good chunk of it down.
Please help if you're able. I'm so grateful for any help! 💕

Five days since this post, and in light of the escalating lunacy that is Donald Trump, "The Circus" essay becomes more alive by the day :)
Thank you!!
Beautiful.
What a coincidence. My favorite book.
We were given cold rivers and black soil and ten thousand years of something that worked. We called it inefficient.

I don't get it either. I was never on Twitter or X so have no comparison, but I like it here and have been educated on so many things. Plus, I have seen funny cats and dogs, stunning flowers and landscapes, nice pizza and beer shots, etc.
If Bluesky dies that's it for social media for me. Been off Facebook for probably 8 years, never really used Instagram, never bothered with Snapchat or anything else. I certainly don't need social media and will be just fine without it.
