Friday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 8/19/22, 8:01 am

This article about nurses in the region becoming travel nurses has this line after many details “If this sounds unsustainable, it is.” Jeez. The pandemic really showed us what many of the problems with our health care system were in an emergency. And while COVID-19 is still a problem, we’re in a time when we can figure out longer term solutions for our nursing shortage.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And for God’s sake, get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Friday! Open! Thread!

Oh hey. Seattle is being great on making sure to keep abortion access in the wake of the recent Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe. Thank goodness for them and the King County Council earlier this year. I don’t know what more there is to do, but keep up the good work.

Wednesday Open Thread

I don’t think there are good Republican elected officials. But Jaime Herrera Beutler did show courage during impeachment. While ultimately her vote for Speaker and for much of the Republican agenda is bad, her being replaced by Joe Kent, who came in ahead of her in the primary, would be a step down.

Fortunately, Democrats have a rad candidate, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. If you’re able to volunteer or donate, they could use your help.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

It’s going to be a hot day. So have a glass of ice water. If you can’t get ice because you’re at the office and they don’t have ice, just some cold water will do. Drink more than you think you need. Pee clear.

And while you’re at the sink, wash your hands. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
