I just rang Neurology to find out what's going on with my results, it's been nearly 4 weeks.. They still haven't looked at it and are on backlog of 6-7 weeks but the ONLY consultant who can deal with it/works there is on ***annual leave***🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

Is it gauche to post a go fund me here?

Anyway, I really need your help tumblr friends!!

I am an AP Literature teacher and I am trying to get to the Annual AP Conference in Seattle in two weeks!! My district isn’t pay for travel of any kind 🥲.

This professional development would be invaluable! Especially with everything going on in our country right now, I need to learn some tips and tools to help my students be successful and get a high score on the exam so they get college credit and save money in the long run.

Also you know like, learning empathy, analysis, writing skills, and understanding emotional intelligence and appreciation of great art through literature is key too!!

I now have enough to cover the cost of the conference registration, I just need about $880 more to cover the flights and hotel booking since prices have gone up since it’s past the deadline for the discounted hotel reservations 😎. (I’ve been trying it’s hard out here).

The reason I need donations is unless I get this trip funded, I will not be able to go. I took the summer off for mental health reasons and so I have a little less income than normal and due to the writer’s strike, my wife is also making less money than she normally would. So finances are tight for us but I would really love to be able to attend this conference and learn!

101 Things You Should Know About the UK Tory Government

Thing 28

In Thing 18, I highlighted the failure of Health Secretary, Steve Barclay, to provide the £500 million emergency fund to help ease the A&E waiting times made available by his predecessor Therese Coffey.

In Thing 24, Steve Barclay was again the subject of debate when he stated that nurses were “out of step” with economic reality and their request for higher pay was neither “reasonable nor affordable”.

We now know why it is unaffordable.

“Steve Barclay astonished Treasury officials when he told Jeremy Hunt, the chancellor, that he would not ask for more money to offset the effects of inflation next year, promising to find efficiencies and savings instead.” (The Times: 14/11/22)

Is this a deliberate policy by the unelected Rishi Sunak to  run down the NHS to such a sub-standard level of service that the public will no longer want to use it? Why else would Sunak appoint a health secretary who has been described as “a real nightmare, vindictive, arrogant, a bully, hostile to the NHS”?

The unions certainly think this is the case.

“Union boss accuses Tories of deliberately 'running down' NHS so someone can take it over." (Mirror: 13/11/22)

Even "Jeremy Hunt ‘accepts picture’ of NHS on brink of collapse." (Guardian: 13/11/22). Despite this Hunt is still demanding that the NHS must accept efficiency savings and play its part in fixing Britain’s broken economy.

It would seem the former Health Secretary Hunt and Steve Barclay have much in common.

“Mr Hunt presided over a time of particularly low investment in the NHS, due to the Cameron-led coalition government adopting austerity measures." (I: 18/11/22)

It's funny how history repeats itself.

Every morning, Indigenous men at the Waseskun Healing Centre north of Montreal gather for a healing circle, where they smudge, share stories and sometimes gain spiritual guidance from elders.

The centre is the equivalent of a minimum-security prison but here, the men are called residents, rather than inmates, prisoners or offenders. [...]

Waseskun is among 10 healing centres across the country that are funded by Correctional Service Canada and reserved for Indigenous offenders serving time in federal custody. The lodge, one of the oldest in Canada, sits amid the tall pines and rocky land of Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez, 100 kilometres north of Montreal.

It is the only federally funded healing centre east of Manitoba and is one of six in the country that is Indigenous-run. Waseskun, which has been singled out by Public Safety Canada as a success story, serves only men and has 22 spots reserved for those who were sentenced to terms of more than two years. [...]

Zinger said there’s an urgent need for more and better-funded Indigenous-led healing centres to provide alternatives to conventional prisons. Almost three decades after the creation of the first healing lodge in Canada, there are only 139 beds across the six community-run healing lodges in Canada. Lodges run by the CSC provide another 250 beds. [...]

How do the researchers react to the clan cats leaving the lake for a time?

You mean the little patrols they send out?

They aren't aware of them, EXCEPT for the Beaver Expedition that Dovepaw was on. They found out about that one because they got a phone call from the team in charge of the beaver introduction.

It was NERVE WRACKING. Both teams were terrified the other would injure their subjects. They were horrified when the cats dug out the top of the dam and pulled the squealing baby beavers out, thinking this was going to end BADLY, but practically cried in relief and excitement when the Clan cats baited the parents towards the lake.

(I like to imagine someone on the beaver team ended up hitting it off with someone on the Clan cat team. The wedding cake was cats and beavers.)

But generally? They don't know about expeditions. Sometimes they catch them leaving, but don't have the funding to chase them down.

Clan cats are also not under constant surveillance. Very important to understand this. Clan cats will attack anything that upsets them and good cameras are expensive; they snuck one into the ThunderClan Camp once in like 2009, and Firestar dug it up at the stake and dropped it down the WindClan border ravine because it was freaking his warriors out.

(The cats don't understand that the cameras watch; they just don't like the Freaky Human Thing)

So the team has to be careful, not install too many, and hide the ones they do have. They don't want the cats to move again.

#I try to make sure that my researchers are more like actual wildlife scientists than gods. Yknow? #I think it's more interesting that they have funding issues and can't just install endless cameras #PLUS the cats reach the lake around 2008-ish. So I try to keep the technology accurate #Re: a lot of this is based off techniques they had to use for capturing the footage on Meerkat Manor #I also use the wayback machine to reference the Sirtrack catalogue which was cutting edge tech at the time #And mind you! This isn't meerkat manor. These researchers are ridiculously underfunded #Have i ever mentioned that i loved meerkat manor as a kid? A family member used to record it for me lmaooo #Better bones au #Millie's radio collar

thinking about autism and Herbert West and damn that man has a strong sense of justice. Disrupting class because he believes the teacher isn't respecting the principles of scientific study; How absolutely devastated he is when he sees Dr Hill stole his research (my woooork!! 😭); etc etc. This man can watch horrendous violence unfold right in front of him and not bat an eye, but if he read an article about an important research project getting cancelled because of underfunding he'd be screaming crying throwing up

#reanimator #herbert west #pyra speaks #reanimator headcanons #I'm imagining Herbert at a town hall or something and some guy who's responsible for the underfunding says his piece #and then Herbert stands up -- very orderly and all -- but is just like 'i hope Hell is real so you can burn there' JGSJTS

okay as i watch the live action and i'm just enjoying the way they do look like they're in costumes and funny dialogue choices and where the acting is a little awkward, can they just make avatar a play. like if they're gonna adapt it i think we should adapt it into a musical. avatar should be played in theatres by your local high school.

#cal.ibrations #like not to say any of it is Bad i just mean sometimes theres little things that i just notice and im like.. high schoolers wld eat this up #like atla should be camp and be played by 14 yo theatre kids. #the costumes do need to be put together by some hs' underfunded art department. #they need to come out witha musical so zukos shitty villain song is a bit on tiktok for 3 months.

my hot take is that us americans in general don't respect education or educators on a social level. which is what leads to our entire education system being underfunded.

#this is especially true among white populations!!!! #because i have worked in the education field in both black and white areas #and uhhh white kids and parents especially do NOT see the benefits of education #and are actively far more disrespectful to educators #unsurprisingly this anti education sentiment in white people leads to massive underfunding #in black schools especially #>:(

the way TERFs talk you'd think that gender identity clinics are grabbing people off the street and subjecting them to scientology-style brainwashing before forcibly injecting hormones into them

#instead of being #yknow #chronically understaffed and underfunded with a 5 year waiting list #transphobia cw

[lesbiansandgayssupporttheminers]

Hmmm, I wonder what the cause of increased NHS waiting lists are?

Clue - it's not strikes.

i like the fact that at gortash's little workspace thing underneath mind flayer colony, there's a potion of see invisibility bcuz i like to think that he gets pissy abt durge's baby blanket granting invisibility after a kill. bro got jumpscared one too many times

#durgetash #the dark urge #enver gortash #i don't actually know if that's his workspace or balth's #but his little brain speaker contraption is there #although it's only balth's notes #BUT he complains abt gort leaving skull shavings everywhere so they might just be like underfunded teachers who've gotta share a classroom #also just the idea of gort and durge hanging out down there while gort develops the brain device is strangely domestic

buses and trains are like animals to me. and they are not being treated right.

#saturn/zero #public transit is underfunded :(

[feluka]

when i hear people use the 'but the education we received is bad!' excuse i remember that one time in science class the book brought up the big bang theory and the teacher straight up said 'wow that's really blasphemous, i'm not gonna teach that!' and made us skip the whole chapter

#i promise we didn't receive the pinnacle of education in our shithole underfunded parts of the world either #everything would be better if we all didn't take everything as a personal attack and instead we thought 'maybe i should improve myself' #we all have room to learn and grow no matter how smart or well educated we think we are! don't be mad about it be excited.

grumpy reminder that the guardian australia is editorially and structurally independent from the guardian uk despite sharing branding, and the aus one regularly runs pro-trans anti-transphobia articles, and is maybe the last bastion of the big australian news orgs that still has teeth when it comes to poverty, first nations issues, and refugees

#yes even compared to the abc #and sbs is criminally underfunded

okay spoilers for S2 E8 OFMD

that episode was bad right?? like they had ALL that build up and then right at the end it all kind of.... fizzled? The main problem was obviously that they weren't given enough time for the show but still. that episode was just all over the place

I mean were given this huge badass conflict with the no nose guy. We had the whole Ed finding himself/stede and Ed reuniting. We had IZZY DYING (which was honestly pointless). And then there was the whole Ed and stede have an "inn" now and the rest of the crew is off. PLUS it all feels like a finale which just hurts even more

The episode didn't have any of the character that the previous ones did and it really shows. This whole episode felt like 4 separate episodes in one (which honestly it probably was). It just really sucks to see how this great season just slowly fizzled at the end :(
