The National Socialist German Worker’s Party: Fooling ignorant people by putting ‘socialist’ in their name since 1920!

Speaking from experience here... Clever abusers ALWAYS abuse behind closed doors while painting themselves as friendly and loving. Idiotic ones might have their abuse on full display, but it is entirely possible Depp’s staff was unaware of how he was treating her, if true. I don’t think Depp is particularly idiotic.

Serena Williams almost died from childbirth complications and she’s also a wealthy celebrity. Doctors don’t take Black people’s pain seriously because of implicit bias. I am going to link to this recent article, which gives a cursory rundown of the issue, but has a lot of excellent links to the studies and more…

It Is a consolation that angry White Costco dude got fired.

I agree with you completely. It seems like we’re at the point now where we need CME requirements for all physicians and nurses specifically designed to counter all the anti-vaxx/conspiracy crap that’s out there. But of course, it seems like once people become hooked on this stuff, it’s nearly impossible for them to…

There’s an RN who has been posting “COVID-19 is a hoax”/anti-mask and conspiracy bullshit on our local newspaper’s FB page for months now. I’ve decided to contact the state nursing board to report her if I see any of this shit again, because she’s posting information and advice which is 100% opposite from our local…

My sister, also a doctor, blocked me on facebook and told me I was no longer invited to my nephew’s wedding, because I said trump was an idiot for telling people not to wear masks.  Clearly, there’s a larger problem there, but that was her last straw?  

and she is a goddamned nurse to boot...fuck me sideways.  This is why we have our southern border closed in BC. We all stayed the hell out of the world, kept ourselves locked up in our homes, and just waited it out for like 8 weeks and we’ll be goddamned if we’re letting a pack of diseased covid conspiracy nuts up…

My aunt for one, I have had to stop talking to her, because though she is anti-Trump Democrat, she has still fallen prey to an anti-science & anti-vaccine belief system (she has not had a flu shot in at least a decade) and mentioned the government will track people though vaccines. Meanwhile she can’t get off of…

This is astounding. I have no medical background, but it seems like it should be pretty obvious that an antibiotic wouldn’t prevent a virus. That’s high school biology, not even AP.

I’m disabled. The speed at which the world took pains to caution me to stay home, so they could play soccer and go to Happy Hour guilt-free, still has me enraged. They pretended like they cared. They believed they cared, most of them. Yeah. They cared about soccer and cocktails! Talk about pissing on a bitch and…

One of the wages of whiteness is that being white affords you spaces wherein you never have to hear the word “no”, and have that “no” have teeth.

The problem is that Americans as a whole have a weird obsession with hiding behind the notion of “freedom.” They think that it means they can interpret that however they want regardless of whether it’s true or not. But in the case of this it’s only when things are inconvenient to them.

“Being an RN doesn’t even mean you’re smart or compassionate.”

There’s a good article on Slate today about the performative nature of these videos in the US https://slate.com/culture/2020/07/viral-mask-freakout-videos-as-premeditated-performances.html?via=homepage_taps_top

One thing I noticed while we were dating is my now wife, who is an RN and is very intelligent, that in her profession, they dont have time to fart around on the computer to read the news during the day and on their off days, they are just happy to be out of the hospital. I help to keep her informed on many things that…

One of the scariest aspects of this nightmare is realizing that intelligence, training and education can’t save you from bad thinking if the right temptation comes along.

Something that has been honestly shocking is seeing the many social media videos of people angrily rejecting the mere requirement of masks. And while it isn’t in anyway just a US thing, see the tragic France bus driver incident, there is this weird undertone when it comes to the US videos of this outrage that not only…

I’m feeling the Covid-fatigue. Not from having it, mind you, but from hearing about all of these reckless people who have willingly endangered lives even though there are plenty of examples of how NOT to do that.

This is very sad. I worked in the medical field...Her being an RN doesn't mean she is immune to getting sucked into conspiracy theories. Being an RN doesn't even mean you're smart or compassionate.
