studentloanjustice.medium.com/the-vast-major… PPP Loans vs. Student loans 1. PPP loans all added to the national debt & required $$ from the Treasury, student loans can be cancelled with $0 from Treasury, $0 added to the national debt. 2. PPP loans were not repaid. Student loans were repaid. 3. PPP loans went largely to people making > $100k, #Studentloans are largely held by people making <$100k.

@CrowMagnumMan3 @RepMGP Master’s in order to do social work- such elitism in $17/jobs.

@RepMGP My wife needed a master's degree to make $15/hour as a librarian but do go on about the "elite."

Expansions of student debt forgiveness need to be matched dollar-for-dollar with investments in career & technical education. I can’t support the first without the other. The severe shortage of trades workers needs to be seen & treated as a national priority. It’s about respect.

@DrFarazHarsini @ruffletheanimal @komal_sharma_29 But they’re not coming to you for judgement - they’re coming g for medical advice. But, I’m glad you asked on this open forum so those of us in your area can avoid your practice.

@ruffletheanimal @komal_sharma_29 It's not about judging, it's about questioning things, how can we improve as a society if we are not allowed to question things? And plus, we all judge! Judging is not inherently bad. That's what a Google review is! You rely on them every time you want to decide where to eat✌️

Nothing like doing a cervical exam and a lil fetal hand grabbing your finger to wake you up

@zedverism211 @good__trouble @sacwriter Yeah, maybe you’re not doing it right.

@good__trouble @HoweverIndigo @sacwriter You think that they are good with people? They can barely look up from their phones. They think normal greetings like "hello" are bizarre. They are social aliens.

@pcpeay I went back to get my master’s after years in my field and was better for it.

@DyrectCurrent @MichaelFulwiler NorCal is basically PNW. Heard of cascadia?

The PNW is the most beautiful part of the country and it’s not close.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

@ShaulaEvans @Purity_Birir You ever read something and just follow someone right away? Like right away?

We say we don't have a dress code in tech and we pretend to have an inclusive culture but in fact we do and this dress code and culture disproportionately affects women.

@orange_peas @strategistjas Also rev up your indoor lighting. I’m talking lamps, candles, multiple options at multiple heights. Then slowly turn them off as the evening goes on. Your body will sense a change and allow you to rest more, but also will start to cue a more alert feeling when the lights are on!

@strategistjas I really struggle. I work full time so I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark. I do try to get out at lunch time for 10 mins but that's about it. I live in a city and don't particularly feel safe going out in the dark at night so I end up practically hibernating.

@ealmars @kristicw @strategistjas @FilmFatale_NYC Try vitamin d. Also a Portland therapist and previous ER social worker. Docs I worked w said vitamins were basically worthless (“just eat healthy”) except vitamin d in the PNW. They said that one was crucial.

@kristicw @strategistjas @FilmFatale_NYC Yeah, totally. Thank you!! I just got a job that will afford a car and fun. So snowboarding and hiking I shall go. I get out for 2 walks a day weather permitting (even just close) plus potty breaks w my dog. I am doing all the things, but I need more sun availability. Soon.

@ButNotTheCity Nature and ritual ~ the sky in the evening, French toast on Saturday. Halloween and first river trip every summer.

@BrowniePoints21 Not floored because I knew about it though?

If you’re watching Ken Burns’ latest documentary on The US and the Holocaust and you’re not floored by the ripples of history that are crashing into our present day, you might be part of the problem. We’ve been here before.

Hey fellow Oregonians- regardless of what side of the aisle you normally fall on, I’m asking you to vote blue this year. Keeping medical decisions between you and your dr is important to most of us. Let’s not lose that.

@omfgWAVY @Chileshemabs As a therapist, my first sessions start with these kinds of questions- do you have enough to eat regularly, do you feel okay about how much money you have, etc. If I’m challenging you on behavior, I better know that you are stable first.

“i’m pro therapy, but sometimes you really just need some money.” — heavy on this. people need resources and relief, so they can take their rest without worrying about their basic needs being met.

@MichaelFulwiler It’s a trauma response, Michael! I can’t even critically assess it!

@HoweverIndigo It's not real! youtube.com/watch?v=jj0Cmn…

@ToddMitchem @MichaelFulwiler Todd, I’ve taken the time to look through your posts, I genuinely believe that you would benefit MOST from someone 15 years your junior to shake up some of your thinking.

@psychatsea @MichaelFulwiler I bought the same thing - like as a supervisor, sometimes I’m just sitting back going “wait, wait… oh, okay that worked out, yay!”

@MichaelFulwiler You should try supervising me, it’s like Mr Toad’s Wild Ride 🤘🏼🥸

@ToddMitchem @MichaelFulwiler Oof, Todd.
