My advice is to check if there is a public job agency sponsored by your province/state that offer free help with job hunting.
Additionally, getting micro credentials or short-term training for niche jobs can open you up to a whole new market (eg. 6 month healthcare tech certificates so you can work at blood donation centers)
Second the advice to remove your degree for low-paying work. I had some insight into hiring when I was young and saw a ton of well-educated people get their resumes tossed because the hiring manager assumed they would leave right away.
To these hiring managers: Educated people need to eat too, jackass.
10/10 True shower thought
I think you’ve identified some areas that are causing this. Intense vocally negative people, really traumatizing and disheartening world events. Watching the world change for what we see as for the worse IS depressing.
I’ve felt this about climate change, and tried medication and education and being informed. None worked like taking action. Going to restoration events, taking part in community events and making small changes to my environment. When you find small ways to take action, you can relieve the feeling of helplessness and then your surroundings yourself with positive change. Whatever your cause is, whatever makes you sick and want to turn away, find a cause that combats it and take action.
Not a sure fire thing, but it’s a start.
I allow them to feel fat while still demanding they provide evidence if they actually insist they are overweight.
I feel fat even when I’m in a healthy weight range; I think that is patriarchal social programming. I don’t think you can control how someone else feels. But when they start really getting down on themselves, I encourage them to either find evidence that they are overweight and then set goals to deal with it. Or, they can’t actually prove it (ie. They are healthy weight/waist) and then we deal with overcoming the social programming.
Not perfect, but it works for me and my partner. Mostly deals with accepting how we feel and making a plan about it.
I’m graduating at 29 after 6 years! When you are just out of high school, it feels so important to be in line with your peer group. As you get farther from that point, no one carries the same timeline anymore. It’s okay to take more time, and more importantly, it’s okay to fail a class.
Some of my classmates finished their masters before I even started!
Personally, I care because I love honey, farm grown food, and they are a poster child for all bees. Without them, there is certainly a lot less care for native bees. While yes they are primarily important for large monocropped farms, that’s your food. Like, so much of your food. Native bee populations aren’t sufficient or interested in pollinating our food crops, so yes we should really care.
Specifically, honey bees (Apis mellifera). Native bees that aren’t colony dwellers may not be impacted the same by the mites.
No, I see it as friendly, but I receive them from my friends. I think if you have a doubt in the relationship already you are more likely to interpret any short reply as rude than if you are confident in what your relationship means to them.
Getting my eyeball cut by a snake plant or “Mother in Laws tongue”. Too many close calls as a child
Okay but… this is cool. Doesn’t count
Your argument was about talking to friends to gain insight into things you know less about, not finding the six degrees of separation that connect you.
I agree with the original premise of talking to friends with a variety of backgrounds to compliment your world view, but I also holdfast that it is privileged to assume that most people will have connections with friends or even friends-of-friends that can get them trustworthy and informed information.
You scared the crap outta me when I just read the title and thought you wanted “Pay 2 Play” journalism.
I like your idea, but it relies on being connected to people who have education/expertise/authority on subject matter. Great if you have them, but can’t be a reasonable expectation for most people to have good access.
Breville makes one that uses a non-proprietary canister that can be refilled for a few dollars. We love ours.
We would love a Ted Lasso of Lemmy. Welcome aboard!
I’ve used a skin routine from The Ordinary with good results. The most basic would probably be the squalene cleanser and Natural Moisterizing factors. I’ve added the niacinamide and zinc, glycolic acid toner, and most critically for redness Azelaic acid emulsion. Makes my face soooo soft and helps with redness
Oh believe me, she gets enough human food as it is, including shrimp when I am feeling benevolent!
Blueberries and other vaccinium species do well with a wood mulch top layer as they make fungal associations that help them deal with environmental stress. It also help retain moisture.
I’m sorry you experienced that. That is horrible and should never be your problem as a nurse. Security should have been there for you.
You did nothing wrong. In fact, your body responded in the best way possible for your safety. Staying still is a stress response, and while it was horrible to endure, your body chose it because it was likely to keep you safe until your adrenaline dropped and you could think rationally again. Had you run, or fought, or tried to explain yourself the situation would have likely escalated.
I know in hindsight it feels like maybe if you had done “something else” or something different, things would have changed, but you have no control over that other person and it sounds like grief was taking the reins for them. It wasn’t about you, it was about losing their family member, and you were the quickest target for that aggression. There was nothing you could have done to change that outcome, and I think your body made the safest choice of also doing nothing.
Systematically, you shouldn’t have to endure that ever. Workplace harassment and violence is a big deal and healthcare workers deserve better.
As for me, I would have balled my eyes out and panicked and ran cause I can’t tolerate that level of stress, and it probably would have escalated or got violent.
