Congress considering capping travel nurse salaries while HCA CEO made $30 million in 2020 fiercehealthcare.com/finance/hca-he…
The travel nurse thing is complex: travel nurses can make 4 or 5 times as much as staff nurses and this is terrible for morale (and travel nurses are often younger/less experienced than their staff counterparts). But when these CEOs are making tens of millions a year… fuck off
Wild idea: start paying staff nurses what they’re worth and you won’t have to hire a bunch of travelers on there-month contracts
More info on this here but between wages and unsafe nurse/patient ratios, people are leaving the profession in droves and it’s going to be a huge problem nurse.org/articles/trave…

This story of a trans guy’s phalloplasty is quite the read but I think people who come to this issue fresh might think this is a sure sign of dysphoria but it’s actually not uncommon and the feeling often goes away with age. ImageImage
I also thought I would magically grow a penis when I was a kid and was absolutely horrified by puberty but it turns out I was just a dyke.
Anyway here’s piece and if you’re wondering why there’s a huge hole in his thigh, that’s because that flesh is now his penis. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

And Jesse Singal’s book review did AT LEAST half of them
Anyone who does even cursory research on the “trans murder epidemic” quickly realizes that the vast majority of these are not hate crimes. Trans people usually get murdered for the same reasons as anyone else—DV, drugs, random bad luck etc. HRC won’t say this but it’s true.
The narrative about trans murder was wrong when I wrote this in 2019 and it’s still wrong today. Journalists and editors should really stop taking activists’ claims as fact. thestranger.com/slog/2019/09/2…

Seattle City Council President and mayoral candidate refuses to attend Capitol Hill Pride because the organizers objected to an event charging white people a $10-$50 “reparations fee”
This event, which is to be held in a city park, is almost certainly illegal. You’d think the people who run the city would be aware of that but hey it’s Seattle.
More here by @jasonrantz, who I believe broke this particular oh-so-Seattle story mynorthwest.com/2983308/rantz-…?

Picture a Robin DiAngelo training but on the radio
Friend recently said she heard a segment on the Middle Ages and how refreshing it was to hear something not about race. Five minutes in they started talking about race in the Middle Ages.
It’s not that race isn’t important. It is! But it’s absolutely taken over the network and there’s nothing surprising or even nuanced about the way they cover it. It’s like they all went to the same liberal arts schools and absorbed the same messages because they did.

Madeline Bilis wrote an honest and well researched piece about a horrible, intractable problem that many people deal with and of course people are being predictably awful to her.
The idea that there are “no bad dogs, only bad trainers” is a myth. Some dogs can’t be rehabbed and even if you can find a no-kill shelter or refuge to take them, a lot of these dogs end up in what is essentially solitary confinement for the rest of their lives. That’s torture.
Kudos to @madelinebilis for writing about what must have been one of the hardest decisions of her life. And if you’ve never lived with a dog that would rip off your face without warning, maybe try to have some empathy for people who have.

I cannot recommend @AliceDreger’s Galileo’s Middle Finger enough for the story of Andrea James’s deeply fucked up campaign against @profjmb alone. This person is a menace. amazon.com/Galileos-Middl…
This is who we’re dealing with here so I suppose publishing my wife’s name on her website isn’t that bad alicedreger.com/in_fear Image
