Entering the field as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) offers a dynamic and fulfilling work environment. In many settings, CNAs must be prepared for the physical demands of the job, which often includes lifting patients and moving equipment. A key component of this preparation is completing a CPR class in Park Ridge, IL, ensuring that CNAs are equipped to respond effectively to emergencies and maintain patient safety.

In the fast-paced and demanding healthcare industry, projecting a professional image is essential for healthcare professionals. One key element that contributes to your overall appearance and functionality is the medical scrub you wear. Nursing scrubs have evolved beyond their humble beginnings and now offer a plethora of options that cater to the needs and preferences of professionals.

I'd been talking with a friend about how the Blight could have been a good allegory for climate change if they had used it in an interesting way, but it occurred to me why this wouldn't have worked.

The Veil is a much better allegory. Solas changed the world in a way he thought was helping, but which had far reaching and apocalyptic consequences. The world was changed for the worse, resulting in the bloody history we already know-wars, famine, demon outbreaks, the Blight getting loose anyway, all exacerbated by the Veil weakening over time, etc etc.

Because the devs had no interest in taking down the Veil for even a minute, they had to go with a storyline whose theme was "fixing your past mistakes is bad and probably impossible and will only make the world worse, so better to embrace the status quo."

So, talking about anything culturally or politically relevant like climate change or fascism was out, because the status quo is clearly really terrible right now. As a consequence, the game had to be about basically nothing. Regret bad. Just don't have them, k?

As this presidential campaign comes to an end, let me say a few words

What to do now

Or how I stopped weeping and learned to love my community

I hate to remind everyone but the Trump administration will soon be in power. Don't bank on his platform only being campaign promises or rhetoric. Here's what you can do now to prepare for January and the years ahead.

This list is very incomplete, please add more information and organizations if you know of other issues that could use increased attention.

Healthcare:

Medicaid may soon be reduced or eliminated for many people. If you may soon become uninsured please visit a healthcare provider as soon as possible. If you are unsure of whether you are up-to-date on your vaccines, screenings, etc. call or visit your healthcare provider.

If you are uninsured, you can still receive healthcare at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). FQHCs can vary from area to area but always offer a sliding fee scale, meaning that what you pay for healthcare will be determined by your ability to pay. You can find a FQHC near your using this tool. Find a clinic or healthcare provider that will work for you now, before the administration changes. Heads up that if you live in a small town or a rural area, your FQHC will likely be in the nearest big town, all the more reason to figure out your plans now including transportation. (If you don't have a hospital in your town, your FQHC is likely in the nearest town with a hospital)

If you have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, the Ryan White Program is a federal program that provides HIV treatment to low-income patients. Find a program near you using this tool. Find the state hotline to call for help here. You can also visit your local AIDS project by searching "[name of state] AIDS project." Planned Parenthood and other sexual health centers can provide care, find clinics near you using this tool.

If you are capable of becoming pregnant, find an abortion fund here. I hesitate to give more specific advice on this post, the link will provide additional information. I know it's scary right now but please use legal, science-backed methods of abortion. We are not yet to the point where it is necessary to induce abortion using herbal remedies or other methods, many herbal abortifacients are dangerous to the life of the pregnant person.

Become involved with any and all of the above organizations. Donate, volunteer, spread the word. Most of these programs rely on a combination of federal funding and public support. It is likely that federal funding will be reduced or disappear under the incoming administration.

If you or a loved one are or will soon be eligible for medicare please be aware that traditional medicare and medicare advantage are two very different services. Traditional Medicare is the program which most Americans expect to receive when they turn 65. It is administered through the federal government. Medicare Advantage is a health insurance program provided through private insurance companies. For most patients, the care they receive will be better through Traditional Medicare. It is likely that the information on this issue will become less reliable from the government.

The Center for Disease Control is the main federal agency which provides guidance for public health, including vaccines for children. It will likely be weakened or otherwise prevented from making public health recommendations. Your primary care provider will still be aware of vaccine schedules and able to vaccinate but the burden may fall on you to ask for vaccines. Get in the habit of asking for information on the latest vaccines at every visit.

Environment:

We will need environmental orgs to fight new policies, sue the government, and stall at every turn. Donate to your favorite environmental nonprofit. None of them are perfect, many of them are effective. Find out more here.

Become involved at the local level. Join a local chapter of a national group or a local organization. Visit parks and conservation areas around you, pay attention to any signage that has the names of local organizations that help to maintain that area and join them. If you see "adopt a stream" or "adopt a highway" signs, call to see what the responsibilities for that program are and if you are able to help. In my area, you organize a group of people and call a phone number to register. The requirements are that you adopt the stream for one year and clean it at least twice for about two hours, then they put a sign up that says you've adopted it. They provide trash bags, reflective vests, gloves, hand sanitizer, and trash grabbers.

Obviously, cleaning up litter from a creek or helping maintain a public park doesn't fight climate change or prevent strip mining. Those are problems that require big solutions from well-funded organizations. Those problems are the reasons you donate to organizations like the Sierra Club. You protest and disrupt big projects with organizations like the Indigenous Environmental Network who helped to organize the Standing Rock protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016-17.

However, cleaning up litter from one creek does mean that there's one less creek that's clogged with litter. That's one more area that can better support wildlife, help prevent flooding, and connect vital habitat areas that are otherwise fragmented. The organizations that lobby, sue, and stall cannot spend their resources on local environmental projects just like you cannot individually prevent the government from leaving the Paris Agreement.

If you have access to any outdoor area where you can grow plants, you should be planting native species. A balcony, a window box, a patio, even a single flowerpot will make a difference to pollinators and wild birds. Use this tool from the National Wildlife Federation to find native plants which support the greatest number of insects in your area. Insects are a vital link in the food chain, particularly for wild birds whose numbers are in shocking decline. Learn more about planting with natives here. A directory of native plant nurseries can be found here. Native plants can also be purchased from the NWF through its Garden for Wildlife shop.

Humanitarian Issues:

The National Alliance to End Homelessness works with providers and lawmakers to end homelessness with a housing-first approach. They have resources to educate yourself on becoming a better advocate for people experiencing homelessness including things as simple as contacting your representatives.

Get involved with local LGBTQ+ centers. Local LGBTQ+ centers are not always members of national organizations so it can be difficult to find them through a central database. However, you can find an on-campus LGBTQ+ center through a university which may be able to help you directly or point you toward organizations which can help. LGBTQ+ centers frequently have resources for finding queer-friendly healthcare, business to work for, advocacy organizations, and more.

Please keep the people of Gaza and all of Palestine in your thoughts as we fight for change at home. The Middle East Children's Alliance is providing food, clean water, medical and psychological care to families in Gaza. Please donate to them if you can.

Likewise remember the struggle in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Goma Actif provide medical care, food, and water for displaced Congolese. Please donate here. (Text of the fundraiser is written in French first, scroll down to find the English translation further down the page.)

This is just what I've been able to come up with so far. Please add any ideas for actions that support yourself or your community.

I’m a leftist American. My beliefs are as follows:

Kill all billionaires.

Free healthcare is a fundamental human right.

Do not allow healthcare or prison systems to be privatized.

Legalize and heavily regulate all drugs and sex work.

Implement more rehabilitative justice.

Queer rights, trans liberation, etc.

Switch to using clean energy sources

Build high-speed trains across the mainland US (instead of using planes for mainland travel).

Mandate that all consumer products be produced ethically and are made to be long-lasting and high-quality. Use entirely recyclable and/or biodegradable materials.

Ban single-use plastics.

Impose strict limits on greenhouse gas emissions nation-wide.

Make AI content public domain. Training AI on the work of human creators without their consent should be considered copyright infringement. All AI content should be labelled as AI content.

Reform the education system by reducing class sizes, protecting educators, and re-implementing phonics for reading. Ban personal smart devices for students on school campuses (unless given special permission).

Make our communities walkable and aesthetically appealing.

Liberate and integrate disabled and neurodivergent people as much as possible while still giving them access to necessary resources for their condition.

The United States is fully capable of doing this. We just don’t. You can blame the ultra-wealthy for that. No more excuses.

The upshot of A City on Mars is that most of our cool imagined spacefutures are not viable but to their point that it's almost never going to be cheaper/more efficient to bring in resources from outer space versus Earth, in space archives the exploration companies lobbied to reduce Earthside extraction so they could corner the market instead. Call that advanced greenwashing.

As a healthcare professional, your medical scrubs are more than just a uniform—they are a reflection of your professionalism, expertise, and commitment to patient care. By adding a touch of style and personalization to your medical uniform, you can elevate your appearance and boost your confidence.

I rlly don't understand like if u wanna vote then vote, nobody's stopping u, but why can't liberals stop pretending that Kamala fucking Harris who built her career off of imprisoning Californian minorities is gonna be some bastion against fascism bc regardless of who wins in November this country is rotten to the fucking core with conservative fascist ideology and a single election will not change that one way or another. ppl are not wrong or naive or selfish to acknowledge that the Democratic party is also fascist and constantly seeking the maintenance/expansion of American imperialism abroad at the expense of people's fucking lives
