my parents at 30: whew, we weren't expecting to have a third kid and a new car this year, but I think we can swing it me at 30: I was not expecting to have to replace an extra lightbulb in my home this year and now financial ruin is upon me

A fairly extreme option for if your home is dangerously cold (good for v cold weather blackouts, squatting or when in a survival hut): If you own a small tent, set it up inside your warmest room and if possible put everyone including pets inside it.

Anyone who has ever tried to advocate for a loved one in a health care setting knows that it’s normal to endure microaggressions from health care staff. It’s one of the dark sides of medicine no one wants to talk about.

You know who is extremely respectful of pronouns? Vet surgery staff. I went to pick up a corpse wrapped in a cotton bag. The staff, on the other hand, were definitely handing over a he/him.

When I take my 6 foot 6 family member with me into a health care setting, suddenly all medical things about me are trusted to be exactly as I say they are. Family member doesn't even have to say anything, just sits quietly in the corner in officewear.

Was about to upload this to elephant site when I saw a toot that said "your toots are not gifts to your audience". I immediately realised I was putting this gift under the wrong tree.

Adding my hot tip: Listening empowers the speaker. Listening is something you can & should withdraw from any speaker whose message you don't endorse. I stand up & quietly walk out of the room multiple times during every family gathering. Any time someone starts getting fashy.

It exists to reinsert workers into work when they'd naturally be grieving, spending time w community, making life changes or otherwise stepping away from productivity. It enforces this by threatening diagnoses & drugs on those who don't return to full productivity immediately.
