Funny how that works

I am so pleased at how many notes are some version of “I don’t fear the science, I fear the corporations who control it” because that is EXACTLY the attitude you should have. GMOs can save us. Monsanto will kill us.

what people fear about GMO- ‘theyre gonna make frankencarrots that crave human flesh and cause diarrhea ’ what GMO actually is- ‘we made rice crop that is both drought resistant and flood resistant which will prevent about 20% of major famine disasters, also it now makes vitamin A because vitamin A deficiency in poverty stricken areas is a major killer of kids as most vitamin A rich foods dont grow there’ what people SHOULD be upset about- ‘i made all crops sterile so all farmers have to buy the seed from me in perpetuity and i will sue anyone who tries to go back to crops that produce their own seed’

It’s wild to me that hospitals that are short on nurses (who make say $40/hr) are routinely supplementing their workforce with contract temporary travel nurses who make BANK, like literally I receive ads almost daily for jobs that are up to $153/hr, which by the way??? If I had experience??? I would absolutely be considering because holy shit. But it’s like. Hey hospitals? If you’re willing to pay $200/hr for a new full time nurse every 8-12 weeks (because you know the travel agency also gets paid) because all your nurses are quitting, what if…and bear with me…you just paid your regular nurses more so they don’t quit so much.

It’s not just the pay tho. The pay is what keeps people coming to the jobs but they don’t stay even for that pay because the management and support they receive is so horrendous they don’t want to stay. They regularly get too many patients assigned to them, have no techs or sitters on the floor, get “floated” to floors that are out of their scope of practice (because not every nurse is a general nurse) and management literally never goes to bat for them to tell the higher ups hey we need more than just warm bodies to show up.

Also, it takes 3 months to train a new nurse. And even then, they’re a brand new nurse (even if they’ve been an nurse for 10 years, new hospital, new learning curve)! They can get burnt out crazy fast in the types of hospitals that are doing the insane pay because they’re still gonna be short staffed.

And contract nurses are a whole other can of worms. Admin will count them as a full time staff person and will not open that job listing for applications. And they can only take certain patients because they have enough knowledge to bounce around to different hospitals and sometimes different floors but they aren’t experienced like a nurse who’s been on the same floor in the same hospital for like 3 years. Leaving the hospitals regular nurses with every difficult patient instead of maybe 1 or 2 at most. Which then makes the hospitals nurses burnt out.

It’s not just about money. It’s about support to be able to do your job especially when your job is taking care of sick and injured people until they can leave or you watch them die.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post

…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment

likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post

i need all the help i can get for finals

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

After work drinks and meat pie 

Finally got around to doing some doodles of my handsome boy Kirishima!! Ugh so manly *swoons*

Anybody else, maybe with ADHD, see something but not SEE it?

Like as I was closing the fridge I saw the garlic and was like “oh yeah I have to put garlic in the stew” and when I reopened the fridge ten seconds later I had to search around for the garlic because I hadn’t SEEN it.

Just now I’m at a craft store, I saw the word “adhesive” but I didn’t SEE it so now I’m trying to find it again, a literal 2 seconds after I saw it.

Yes! It's a mix of visual clutter and lack of object permanence. Your brain says "you saw it, no need to show you again" and leaves you crying in the grocery store trying to find cheese

Me: please god I just want to finish dinner

My brain: you may witness the presence of garlic ONCE

Me: oh hey here’s that thing you need

My sister: where?

Me: ... excellent question

WAIT this is just the visual version of when someone is like “do you understand?” And you’re very confidently like “yes :)” and then they’re like “okay what did I say?” And you have no fucking idea.

Okay so I know it’s a running joke that “you look for something, it’s not there, mom looks, it is there” but considering I grew up in a house with 5 ADHD people and one neurotyoical mom that kind of hits different

Reblog this on the first of the month for good luck all month long!

The Taste Of Blood Master List

Fandom: Sebastian Stan, Dracula

Pairing: Dracula x Reader, Dracula X OC 

Characters: Dracula - Played by Sebastian Stan. Rose Black/Reader - The Character is still a reader instert, because as is made clear in the beginning, her name isn’t actually Rose Black, it’s a false identity. 

Warnings: All of them. All the warnings. Smut, Violence, Blood, Gore, Assault, Murder, Mayhem, Death.

Blurb: 

It should have been simple, it should have been safe. Serve a drink, serve a smile, keep my head down, keep my secrets… If I had just stuck to the damn rules, I wouldn’t have gotten dragged into this world of pain. But all it took was a scream in the night, and I ran headfirst into the danger. All I wanted to do was take a shortcut home, and I stumbled upon a dangerous road that I can’t turn off of. From the first glimpse of blood soaked fangs in the moonlight, I was trapped in a world I had never believed existed. Vampires are very real, very terrifying, and very, very annoying.

My name is Rose Black, or it is at the moment. I’ve changed it so often that I can barely remember what my real name is anymore, and that’s not exactly a bad thing. There are demons in my past that I can’t let catch up with me, and they terrify me far more than the actual monsters in my present. I’ve been running for a long time, from my past, from my sins, from myself, running for my life. But in running from one monster, I inadvertently sprinted straight into the arms of another.

Vlad Tepes, Vlad The Impaler, Dracula himself, is the only person who can protect me now, but his price may be too steep. The lines between Legend and truth, love and lust, fear and hate, have never been so blurred. The further into the Vampire world that I sink, the more my own past unravels. Secrets I have kept for years are in danger of coming to the surface. Secrets that any Vampire, especially Dracula, would kill for.

BEYOND obsessed with this house in fort worth, texas i mean

okay pretty normal, let’s look at the interior photos—

WHAT THE FUCK

here we see the first example of a pattern that will recur throughout the house, which is that once your eyes adjust to the bonkers dictator chic marble-and-gilded-everything, you notice some pretty egregiously shoddy workmanship. look at how that baseboard intersects with the outlet. look at how the marble… uh, thing on the wall (i was gonna call it a fireplace but it’s not a fireplace, i have no idea what that is) has gaps and weird angles wherever two pieces meet. it’s like they’re trying to recreate versailles on an ikea budget

i… don’t hate the kitchen. i mean, obviously it’s ugly and #toomuch and there was zero effort made to match the very modern appliances and sink to the cabinets, but still, i’m a sucker for a pass-through and a big sink with a window above it.

this ceiling Fucks but the wrinkly, uneven curtains and terrible caulking around the faux-column in the middle anti-Fuck

why did we suddenly completely switch aesthetics. why is there an old TV set into the wall at floor level. why is there a tiny set of doors next to it. why does the fireplace look like an asset ripped from the original dark souls. i feel a sinister presence sucking at my soul the longer i look at this photo

i feel like whoever designed this monstrosity started with the dining room and then once they’d finished it realized they’d blown half their budget on just this one room. it’s so overdecorated that the gaudiness feels intentional, like it’s a statement rather than a side effect of genuine tastelessness. i can applaud that.

here we have the antithesis of the dining room. i don’t know what this room is supposed to be but i hate it. i’m pretty sure everything in this photo literally came from ikea. there is a lack of commitment here and it is rancid

ladies, gentlemen, distinguished colleagues, we have now hit the cornerstone of any great tacky real estate listing: the heart-shaped bathtub! this one gets bonus points for being next to a gilded mirror and surrounded by bright red damask wallpaper. as a bathtub i’d give it a 1/10 because those angles look incredibly uncomfortable, but as a place to shoot my lover through the heart while wearing a gauzy fur-trimmed bathrobe before fleeing with our ill-gotten fortune i’d give it a solid 11/10

here we are with the lack of commitment again. this literally looks like the kitchen in my college dorm but with a weird fringey lamp and some curtains that are absolutely too long for their windows

again, the mix of styles here is just killing me. half damask wallpaper and carved wall panels, half normal-ass bathroom? really? isn’t there anything truly unhinged left in this house? anything truly opulent, decadent, off the chain, extravagant, gaudy—

THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT BAY BEE!!! THAT’S MORE THE FUCK LIKE IT!!! COMMIT! TO! THE! BIT! GO BIG OR GO HOME! IF YOU’RE GONNA STICK A CEILING DOME IN THE FOYER OF YOUR SUBURBAN TEXAS HOUSE IT HAD BETTER BE TWELVE FEET IN DIAMETER AND PAINTED WITH DOZENS OF FLOWERS OR ELSE WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN DOING HERE??

and finally, to close out the show, a reminder that this entire acid trip of a real estate listing took place in an ordinary, modern single-story house in texas, one with a backyard and utility boxes on the exterior walls and neighbors who may be blissfully unaware that they live mere feet from a yawning pit of madness.

i love tacky real estate listings.

When your lady on her period.

this got  funnier as it went

“Don’t call her a bitch but

GET YOUR BITCH SOME CHOCOLATE”

Facts 😂

There needs to be some sort of induction ceremony

This is the only comedy sketch that doesn’t make fun of women and their period. It try’s to make you relies how weird and annoying periods really are. That’s really refreshing
