I don’t think there are even weekend posts here anymore. This one is from yesterday.  

so i guess we’re not doing sns anymore?

It’s not. Because it’s California, not Alabama. $100k in CA is equivalent to $30-40k in other places. It’s a living wage. Nothing more. Also, you’ll enjoy 1-2 hour commutes *both ways* every day. More if you want to stretch that salary a little further.

Look, people, as an attorney I’m normally sympathetic to arguments about not jumping to conclusions. And it’s true we don’t know what happened here.

That’s the most disturbing part of this for you? Not the missing/dead woman, but the poor man who didn’t help to locate her and drove off with her vehicle leaving her hundreds of miles away from home? I am super glad your priorities are straight.

I’m glad someone brought this up, because I thought maybe I was just overreacting to some of the comments here. Honestly, I took a break from Jez for a while, and coming back, things seem … different lol. This hasn’t been the only comment section I’ve noticed some problems with lately. It feels like a bunch of Reddit…

Yes but, as far as I know, men generally don’t worry about violence from other men when they refuse a date or simply walk down the street. That’s the privilege, and it makes a lot of otherwise decent men wonder what women are so worried about.

You can get a warrant to search electronic devices even if it’s “just” for a missing person’s case, and even if the owner of the devices is not a suspect of a criminal offence. They impounded the vehicle immediately after she was reported missing, didn’t they? And without naming him a suspect. Nothing stopping them…

It’s pretty clear when she says on that body cam video, “I’m working on a blog, but he doesn’t think I can do it,” there’s an element of emotional abuse in this relationship. She told the police the blog is about their “van life.” He’s part of it, and wants her to fail? Come on.

Sad, predictable end for her and her family. The limits of benevolent sexism and any privilege society may give women is on display here. She looks the right part. She did every thing right and took a male “guardian” with her, she had the right family who cared about. Still she ended up murdered. Beyond getting people…

Hannibal, I saw your reply, but as I can’t reply to it directly, I am doing so here.

You folks in healthcare are doing The Lord's work. Thank you so much for caring for folks during this crazy time.

Thanks.

I also want to hug the Corgis. We are of one mind on all of the above.

I went on a trip with one friend and seven people I didn’t know this week. It was a mosaic making workshop at a little beach hotel in the part of Panama that borders the Caribbean. It wasn’t that easy for me to go because I’m awkward in general and have to fight the automatic assumption that people won’t like me. It…

Another week of fun in my grad program.

THE BITCH IS GONE!!! (Literally!)

This was the toughest week we’ve had at work, with record numbers of patients and nowhere to put them. We started the week seeing roughly 50 patients at a time in our 22 bed ED, and by Tuesday, we had been boarding admitted patients overnight in the PACU, or as most people know it, the recovery area where people go…

Shelter Cat Update!

PSU v Auburn tonight! Penn State all the way! We Are!
