#home support staff
Text
List of tumblr mobile grievances including but not limited to (feel free to add):
The tags button being moved in post editor and replaced with community labels which are disproportionately applied to trans women and the queer community in general
Previously used tags no longer appear when reblogging a post so I have to type them in manually (and hope I don’t accidentally misspell them)
Post button is no longer in the nav bar, but is floating nebulously to the side
Tumblr live
Tumblr live icon now permanently where the post button should be (with a permanent NEW bubble)
Unable to permanently snooze tumblr live
No play/pause button in full screen video player
No double tap to zoom in on picture. Videos and pictures now will scroll to unrelated posts if you accidentally flick up or are trying to zoom
Randomly redirecting to posts I reblogged while I’m on other tabs if someone likes or reblogs a post
Unable to click on URLs to redirect to specific reblogs on a post. Prev tags no longer works as a result
Blazed posts and ads (even undisclosed ads) showing up in search results making it harder to find what I’m searching for
While in full size media player, pressing “see more” to read the caption now takes you back to the post outside of the media player
Tumblr sponsored posts on my own blog that I did not post there
Implementing new UI changes without updating the app. I don’t have auto update so I can check the changes blog and see if it’s worth updating the app

(idc, there is no reason that face masks shouldnt be available for purchase in every high trafficked area ((e.g. AIRPORTS)) as a basic first-aid item. the same way you are able to buy hand sanitizer and advil and toothpaste. you should be able to buy a face mask)
#better yet they should be free!#and food service workers and support staff should just have them behind the counter#but at the bare minimum#for PURCHASE#idc that ‘covid/the panini is over’#(which its not)#they should be AVAILABLE#is it my fault for forgetting my little mask pouch at home yes#but a pharmacy inside an airport#should have them#like i could buy a whole mini skincare set#but not a face mask#hm

#kirby#daily kirby#my art#digital#hal laboratory#nintendo#I had to go out and run some errands since my wife can't do them while she's in the hospital#I got it all done and I've been aggressively medicating but wow I am super tired and sick#my normal available energy in a day is 'sit uprightish on the couch' not 'walk around town for 2 hours'#she feels well enough that she would be comfortable coming home tomorrow#it's just a question of whether the weekend staff is willing to do the paperwork or not#cuz a lot of places don't do weekend discharges for her stuff#so she may be coming home monday instead.#we are working together (along with her more official types of support) to make sure this doesn't have to happen again.#(one of the people from her work wants to go visit her sunday if she's not home and offered to give me a ride)#(which will be uh. also really exhausting and painful.)#(especially with all my ~medical trauma~)#(but it would help her feel better.)

I don't hate my job or anything it just feels beneath my skill level especially considering how average the pay is
#I've seen former employee reviews and they say a lot of the same things#like being used as a cleaner more than what our actual role should be i.e. support worker#then you'll be doing sweaty and hard work for a substandard pay#you also need a car too so you have to consider that#it doesn't happen a lot but you'll get some clients that expect you to be a professional cleaner when that's not what we are lol#I'm one of their best staff i know this for a fact#so i know i can do more and get more elsewhere without as much mental and physical effort#i mean i ditched a job that i realistically could have gotten 70k a year at but it was way too stressful and i left#that was working with kids in residential homes taken away from their families#usually gone through several fosters or agencies#so you can imagine what that was like

#tbd#probably#i'm really sad#my brother's wife was pregnant but had to have an emergency c-section on the 13th#apparently there was something to do with a viral infection that doesn't really affect kids or adults but was really bad for the baby#(I'm guessing cmv from the searches I did but I haven't asked for details)#my sister in law is okay but the baby boy is really sick... he was six weeks early on top of the infection#he's been in the nicu with really limited visitors... it was just my sister in law for a while#but the staff there are prepping my brother and sister in law that they will probably be needing to take him off of life support soon#and I wish I still lived back home even if I couldn't do anything and I'm hurting so much for them and it's so awful and sad#and I know that it's random but it's awful and terrible

Managed to make it just over six months as a nurse before I was injured by a patient 🙃
#it wasnt his fault#he shouldn't be here in the hospital hes not sick#hes just autistic and non verbal and understimulatwd#but his mom wont take him back and no group home or snf or anything will take him because hes '''''''''behavioral'''''''''''#HE WOULDNT BE THIS WAY IF HE WAS FUCKING SUPPORTED#HAD HIS NEEDS FUCKING MET#like we're trying but he needs to be in an environment where jts safe to wander and move aroubd#he needs stim toys#he needs companionship#and you don't get any of those things in the hospital#he wouldnt be '''behavioral''' if he got any of these things#most of the staff ignores him and his needs which is how we get to the violent outbursts#but even if we all did our best it wouldnt be enough#actually not most of the staff just a few night staff#and they dont have support on nights so its not 100% their fault#but i dont like how some of them talk about him

i have many thoughts and feelings about noa and kaidan getting a support dog post-war when things are still very tense and rough between them
#txt#ch: noa shepard#noa x kaidan#some of the staff at the hospital/rehab centre suggest it to kaidan after noa has a particularly bad session#and she is Not a fan of the idea when he broaches it with her#but eventually she caves and kaidan comes home the next day with bruno#joker makes a joke somewhere about bruno having some german shepherd in him somewhere and noa would shove him#if only they weren't both made of nothing but brittle broken bones barely holding together#noa eventually grows really attached to bruno because he doesnt talk - will just sit next to her when she needs some comfort#hes especially helpful in the beginning because kaidan just wants to Help but neither of them really know how to help each other properly#after a while once her leg settles more with the prosthetic noa takes bruno on very short shambling walks#and its one of the only times in a day she'll leave the house#ANYWAY many emotions about therapy / support animals and how important they are#🥺🥺🥺#oc tag

Does it suck that everyone had to leave town while this surgery happened
Yes
Is it the best option?
Absolutely.
#his significant is the only other person here#and he is#a nightmare to deal with right now#ignoring hospital rules#ignoring visitation hours#being rude to staff#being really invasive#dude just fuck off#you’re clearly not making good choices in your current emotional state#go home#Marco set me as his designated support person on file for a reason#because I can maintain calmness and logic in chaotic situations#NOT. add more stress to the environment#fuck man#I cannot imagine trying to wrangle anyone else

the head staff at my school deserve gold stars in allyship im not even kidding
#basically i got called down to the office and two heads of staff wanted to talk to me cuz they relized that i use different names#at home/at school. And they were so supportive and literally just wanted to make sure i felt safe and fuck i relized ive never#had a supportive authority figure before ever in my life i cried for like 30 minutes#and they talked about getting me into art school and making a professional portfolio and doing jazz band and makeup for drama#it felt so fucking jarring to be supported by an adult for once ah fuck im fucking crying just thinking about it

Aug ABSOLUTELY deserves the praise, @ryukikit. St. Augustine Alligator Farm is one of my favorite animal facilities, hands down. It's a pretty zoo, doable in an afternoon if you kinda like crocodilians, or an all day affair if you REALLY like crocodilians. Here are my favorite things about it and why I think it's worth supporting.
1. They keep animals in interesting social groups.
Crocodilians are heavily involved parents, but most places that breed them don't have the enclosure space to let the babies stay with the parents. St. Augustine does. One of my favorite groups was their crèche of slender-snouted crocodiles. They had the parents and then a yearling cohort and a new hatchling cohort. This aligns with how these guys live in the wild- the babies stick around longer! They have the space for it, and they are very in tune with the social needs of their animals.
Very, very few zoos can keep their baby crocs with the adults and still perform maintenance and animal health checks safely. This doesn't mean these facilities are bad- it just means that they have different management practices. And frankly, a lot of these species aren't frequently bred elsewhere. Your average zoo doesn't need a setup where you can have a multiyear crèche for slender-snouted crocodiles. Some species have better success when the young are pulled early, and some zoos are better set up to raise out any offspring separately or behind the scenes. Every facility's practices are different, and this just happens to work well at St. Augustine and be really enjoyable to see as a zoo patron.
Crocodilians are exceptional parents and very protective. It's a sign of incredible animal management practices and animals that feel very comfortable with staff that St. Augustine can do this with nearly every species they breed.
2. They understand the social needs of their animals.
Some crocodilians are social. Some are solitary. Some can live happily with a member of the opposite sex but get territorial around members of the same sex. St. Augustine pays incredible attention to their social groupings to ensure that they aren't just meeting the animals' physical health needs but their social needs as well. They do continuous scientific research about social structures in crocodilians, taking blood samples to test stress hormones and observing stress behaviors to see how group dynamics change.
For example, St. Augustine is home to one of the world's largest known living saltwater crocodiles, Maximo. And his comparatively tiny mate, Sydney. During the educational presentations with these two, they point out that even their monster of a croc needs his social group- he won't eat if she's not around and he is calmer during medical checks if he can see her. These animal share a deep and special pair bond, and they make sure to talk about how the social aspect of these animals' lives is integral to their care. It's a unique aspect of the way they talk about these animals, because he IS a spectacle and he IS a sensation, but they don't talk about him like he's a mindless killing machine- they talk about him like he's a big, complex predator with social needs like any other animal. Aug is the only facility I've been to where the emotional and social needs of crocodilians is part of the education they provide guests- and speaking of education...
3. Their demos and presentations are extremely good.
The presentations at St. Augustine are some of the best I've ever seen, and I've seen literally hundreds of animal talks on everything from aardvarks to zebras. But as you... can probably tell from my blog content, I've spent a lot of time learning about and working with reptiles. I really enjoyed all of their presentations because they are very scientific about things and avoid sensationalism. They really want you to be fascinated by these creatures and love them- but more than anything else, they want you to respect them.
Also, they do a really good job handling their ambassadors. I really enjoyed something as simple as watching an educator tell us about snakes. Throughout the whole presentation she made sure that most of the snake's body was looped in her hand. The snake was always supported and was very calm. She gave the snake plenty of head room so that it didn't feel constricted- it was just good handling all around.
But also, the presentations made it clear how much the park cares about the animals' well-being. When they do the feeding and training presentations, they make it very clear that the animals' participation is entirely voluntary. They do things differently for their 9-foot saltie and their 16-foot saltie, because the 16-footer is so large and heavy he actually struggles walking on land sometimes. They adapt their programs and his care to ensure that he's completely comfortable- and he didn't actually participate in the whole feeding when I was watching! At no point did they try to push him into anything uncomfortable; they offered, he didn't engage, and they moved on. It was a clear expression of his boundaries, and I really appreciated how much his caretakers respected that.
4. Ethical Interactions
I've been to... a lot of tourist locations in Florida that have animals you can hold. Almost always against my will! Many of them are pretty terrible, and you don't actually learn much, if anything. But I really found that to not be the case at St. Augustine. Every single animal presentation and interaction opportunity was accompanied by education about the animal's biology, habits, and- crucially- their conservation status.
When I held a baby alligator at St. Augustine, the proctors- there were two, one to ensure I was holding the gator correctly and the other to educate- were very informative about the role alligators play in their ecosystem and their conservation history. The animals were all properly banded, and one of the two proctors was there to ensure that none of the baby alligators were uncomfortable. As soon as they started getting squirmy or tense, they were removed, unbanded, and taken to an off-exhibit area to relax. And when the babies age out of petting size, they just go in the lagoon to live with others of their species. I saw one upset alligator the entire time I was there, and he was clearly upset that his escape attempt was foiled by a keeper during my nursery tour.
Even though he's restrained in this shot, you can see that his full body and tail are supported, and the grip, while firm, is gentle. He's distressed, but after I took this picture, she put him in his enclosure and he calmed down immediately.
Sometimes when you have petting attractions with baby animals, those animals... don't have a happy ending. (See: cub petting.) But St. Augustine's program is fine- the gators are all aged out of wanting to have mom around, there's no declawing/defanging, and they're handled with care. And it's worth it, because people love what they understand. St. Augustine was integral in raising public awareness about alligators back in the 60s when they were endangered, and now they're thriving- largely in part to programs like St. Augustine getting people to care.
And speaking of getting people to care, let's talk about their research.
5. Shared Research Results
St. Augustine is also home to more species of crocodilian than anywhere else in North America- all of them, usually. (They didn't have a Tomistoma when I visited- that may have changed.)
Because of this species diversity, it's an incredible research resource. Having every species means that you can do a lot of work comparing their behaviors, their growth patterns, and more. They've been a major research site for crocodilian biology since the 1970s. Today, they're one of the key sites for studying crocodilian play and social behaviors. They actually maintain a blog where they post copies of papers that were written using their animals, meaning that you can actually see the results of the research your admission helps fund. You can see that right here: https://www.alligatorfarm.com/conservation-research/research-blog/
All of this adds up to a zoo that provides a unique experience, tons of actual education, and transparency about what its research and conservation steps actually are. St. Augustine's come a long way since its opening in 1893, and they really do want you to leave with a new respect for the animals they care for. Ultimately, if you're a fan of reptiles, you can feel good about visiting the St. Augustine Alligator Farm- their care and keeping are top of the line, they do a ton of innovative conservation research and support for conservation organizations, and you can see this animal there:
(Gharial from the front. Nothing is wrong with her that's just what they look like from the front.)

We are witnessing another massacre happening now
The occupation army contacted the director of Al-Shifa Hospital by sending a threatening message.
The director of the hospital responded, stating that there are no resistance members in the hospital and that it is a civilian hospital providing care for the wounded and displaced.
Now, the occupation forces have cut off all communication around Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza in preparation for the ongoing massacre.
A true massacre is happening at Al-Shifa Hospital - intrusion and entry of vehicles, sniper bullets targeting those present, silencing their voices from the world!
Journalist Osama Al-Kahlout commented on the situation at Al-Shifa Hospital:
"The occupation army is firing directly at medical teams inside Al-Shifa Hospital, with snipers targeting doctors.
There are fears of the compound being stormed."
This is the latest video we received from Al-Shifa Hospital, documenting what happened during the occupation's shelling.
It's worth noting that the hospital houses a large number of patients, including infants and newborns.
After the Pentagon's statements and its incitement against the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, we are facing extremely difficult hours. the American statement gave a green light for the terrorist army to commit massacres against innocent people, the hospital, its wounded, patients, and medical staff.
The occupation fervently attempts to portray Al-Shifa Hospital as the focal point of its war on Gaza, suggesting that the 'fall of the hospital' signifies the complete collapse of Gaza.
However, this is not merely for capturing images, and then the Zionists returning to their homes; it serves two dangerous purposes:
Boosting the morale of the Zionists and Americans, implying that the occupation army is achieving successes, giving Netanyahu and his army more time in Gaza.
Pushing the Palestinian people and their supporters into despair and frustration, raising the white flag with the belief that 'everything is over with the fall of the hospital.'
We must clearly see through this game and not be deceived.
Hamas has never claimed that the hospital is strategically or politically important; it has consistently stated that it is just a hospital providing essential humanitarian services.
Hamas has even invited international institutions to enter the hospital and verify its nature.
The hospital holds no significance in the balance of war or the developments in military events.
Do not let them exploit and demoralize you for nothing."
So always remember that regardless of the images the occupation broadcasts to justify its crimes against the Al-Shifa Hospital, keep in mind the following: there is no military activity originating from this place; it is solely a hospital. Israel and America have decided to designate it as a military target
