The vital role of a nursing agency in Bolingbrook, Illinois, in ensuring access to quality healthcare cannot be overstated. These agencies serve as the bridge between patients needing care and the dedicated professionals who provide it. Among the many qualities that make a nursing agency stand out, reliability emerges as a cornerstone.

Not quite sure how to politely phrase this so I'll just be blunt, sorry, but would you ever open commissions? I'd pay big bux to get my priest mouse drawn by you

I do commissions extremely rarely, I'm afraid. It's not that I don't like drawing for people (or that I have no use for that extra income), I just can't handle the additional pressure and deadlines that well at all at the moment. Sorry!

If T*m Taylor has a million haters, then I'm one of them. If T*m Taylor has one hater, then that's really weird, tbh. Feel like there should be more of us. If T*m Taylor has no haters, that means the secret DickKory cabal aimed at undermining & sabotaging his entire run has been taken out.

hey hypothetically speaking do you think if we all signed a big enough petition we could persuade staff to remove nazztyjocks' blaze privileges? because apparently blocking someone only hides their own posts and doesn't prevent them from continuing to flood everyone's timelines with hockey player yaoi posts that they blaze from other blogs

clark is not a good liar, but he is great at keeping secrets and can be described as secretive by lois...

Hngnhhgg reverse au maybe….

It’s very sweet the way even with all the turmoil and fear carmy is feeling he sees syd as a safe shore, someone reliable he can always count on.

things psychiatrists have been certain were "the" problem with me (no comorbidities. just disagreement about diagnosis)

limbic adhd

nothing at all!

bipolar disorder

borderline personality disorder

social anxiety with related depressive symptoms (and i don't have adhd because i like reading)

just depression

but this is totally a respectable field

do you ever have concerns about rabies when working with raw specimens? I’ve heard different things about the “shelf life” of the virus in dead critters, some say 72 hours but others say longer. It seems the information is kind of conflicting. Thoughts?

I've never found any cases of taxidermists getting rabies from dead animals just from working on them. The saliva, spinal fluids, or brain matter would have to get into open wound or orifice for it to infect you. It can't infect you just by getting on your skin and the only cases I ever found were people who got rabies from dead animals is when they ate animals that had rabies (the worst case I saw they ate part of the brain so yeah lol).

The virus is very fragile outside of the host body and can be killed with soaps or household cleaners. Raccoons and dogs are the most likely species to have it and I don't work on many of those. I would like to be vaccinated for it just incase but it's not a high risk concern. If I'm feeling a little "ehh" about what I'm working on I spray the mouth with a little lysol and am very careful dealing with brain matter. I also always wear gloves, boots, long sleeve shirts/pants, and a face shield when I'm working on raw critters.

EDIT - From the CDC website:

Hate when I'm trying to find a recipe for smth I've never made before and all the recipes I find have completely different ingredients and/or proportions and/or preparation steps. Especially when it's something I don't want to have to waste ingredients on if I have to trial-and-error my way through. You want me to waste half a bag of flour?? In this economy????

okay. okay okay okay flying off the cuff several hours past bedtime because I need to Purge The Thoughts so I can sleep before my job (ugh) BUT I'm halfway through ep 22 of the Wizard the Witch and the Wild One (Suvi (my beloved) JUST rolled the seven to lie to the public transit and I went OKAY THAT FALLOUT IS FOR POST-SLEEP so no one say SHIT about anything past that) and I'm kind of obsessed with that horribly flubbed conversation with Steel about Ame needing to leave Right Now Immediately

Because Steel (sword of the citadel) (very tired) (three hours of sleep) so CLEARLY heard "threat" and went "I must protect Ame" and totally fucking missed (because Ame (young) (stressed) (unfamiliar with wizard thought patterns) did not articulate it very well rip) that it's MOSTLY (mostly, these witches are still INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS) that the threat is a METAPHYSICAL threat.

Steel they don't need you to protect them from being physically killed, they need you to give Ame a ride home so she can grab some shit before she accidentally no call/no shows her quarterly meeting and gets fucking fired!

Steel she just needs her incredibly well connected friend to get her past the police barricade so she can get to her job!! Steel!!!

i dont even mean this in a catchy, buzzword way but i really do think autistics trigger the fuck out of people with NPD. it keeps being a pattern in a VERY specific type of person in my work life. a lot of ppl w NPD have a very paranoiac sense of "everyone is trying to get me and tear me down" thing that comes w the grandiosity. not just 'wow i am great' but 'i will achieve greatness and i HAVE to and it won't be okay if i don't' and the fundamental belief that people 'lower' on the social hierarchy are secretly envious and making up ways to fuck you over and take what you have (yknow, bc Everything Is About You). being allistic on top of that - assuming your experience is default and everyone knows these minor social tics & anyone who doesn't respond in kind is being minorly petty at the very least - and you have someone for whom every little autistic social mishap is triggering the "secretly hates me is out to get me is trying to signal to me that i am cringe" alarms. i will play my tiny violin here and say if they see you as hot or conventionally attractive, they WILL NOT assume you are weird or neurodivergent, not in a billion years, they ONE BILLION PERCENT WILL ASSUME it's obvious that you are trying to signal you think you're better than them. it's really sad and it's a really stressful way to live but it helped me to understand WHY this dynamic was happening

steaming hot take but there are just some things self diagnosed people just can’t talk over professionally diagnosed people about

I wanna sit down with everyone who's ever self diagnosed themselves with autism and ask them what they think the point of a diagnosis is, and what exacly do they think they get out of claiming to be autistic.

Because I promise that these people don't even understand the point of a medical diagnosis, never mind understanding what benefits they could possibly get from labeling themselves as autistic (because let's be honest, it's just a label to these people and not an actual medical condition people are diagnosed with).

Three things I want everyone to know:

There are people out there fighting for you to have a better life every day. The effects may not be immediate; they may not come when you need them to; they may not succeed. But it matters that they're doing it in an enormous diversity of ways.

Accepting and sitting with your failure is one thing, and it can help. In my case, it meant I had to learn how to be happy in a way that was divorced from my own achievements, and that's one of the best things that's ever happened to me. But you don't have to let it become your life. Another chance will come around, and you can put in the work to make that new chance come around. Don't let it kill your ambition. There is more time.

Just because you need to be comfortable with failure does not mean there is no joy in achievement, nor that it is not worth pursuing, nor that you shouldn't dare to dream big. There are jobs worth signing your life over for--but you have to be the one in charge of that decision, not society or a company.
