🛐 HEY BOSS LADY, ABOUT YOUR DAD ASKING FOR GRANDKIDS… Hey there, Miss Independent. Boss lady. Titan of brunch and LinkedIn.

Chuckle.

Yeah, yeah, I know. You're tired of your dad asking:

"When are you gonna give me some grandkids?"

You roll your eyes. You half-laugh. You text your friends about how "outdated" he is.

But here’s the thing: You don’t actually understand where that question comes from.

Not emotionally. Not biologically. Not evolutionarily.

Hell — not even mascularilibly. (Made that word up just now. You get the point. Smh.)

🧠 WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING When your father — that stubborn, aging man who once fought the world just so you could exist — asks you about grandchildren…

He's not nagging you.

✅ He's mourning a death he can't put words to. ✅ He's feeling a branch of his bloodline wither in his hands. ✅ He's watching the river that carried the names of his ancestors dry up into dust.

You think it's about social pressure?

No.

It's about legacy. It's about meaning. It's about the invisible chain of survival he spent his entire life trying to strengthen — now slipping silently between his fingers.

🩸 WHEN YOU DECIDE TO CUT YOUR BLOODLINE And look — This isn’t for the women dealing with real medical battles. This isn’t for the ones who can't for real, unavoidable reasons.

This is for the ones who choose.

The ones who decide:

Wall Street > Womb.

Promotions > Bloodline.

Rent receipts > Family trees.

This is for the women who decided that their personal storyline was more important than the entire river of survival that carried them here.

You’re not just choosing for yourself.

You are choosing to take your entire branch of the human tree — every man, every woman, every child that led to your birth — and cut it off.

Let it drop. Let it rot at the roots.

Compost for the whole. Forgotten by history. Ashes at the base of the tree of humanity.

🛡️ WHY YOUR DAD LOOKS AWAY WHEN HE ASKS Because men aren't trained to say:

"I'm terrified the blood of my father, and his father before him, will die unheard, unspoken, unnamed after you."

Because men aren't trained to plead:

"Please don’t let my life, my struggle, my fight to survive this brutal earth end with silence."

So he smiles. He jokes. He asks about grandkids while pretending he’s fine.

Because if he said what he really meant?

He’d break in half in front of you. And you would never look at him the same again.

🤯 TL;DR That "When will you give me grandkids?" isn’t outdated patriarchy.

It’s a survival howl choked down into a casual smile.

It’s a bloodline praying not to die.

It’s a man trying not to collapse under the weight of extinction — pretending it’s just a chat over coffee.

💣 CALL TO ACTION: 🔁 Reblog if you know bloodlines weren’t built so you could "work late on a Sunday." 🛡️ Save this post for the day you realize success without legacy is just a high-rise grave. ⚡ Send it to the friend who forgot where her last name came from. 🔥 Bookmark it if you still believe that your ancestors deserve more than a punchline.

Or simply 🔁Reblog to keep my signal to mankind going strong.

⚖️ LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This post is Blacksite Literature™, evolutionary survival analysis, emotional battlefield discourse, and cultural cadence resurrection protected under literary law and mythological commentary clauses.

Im starting to hate that linkedin ai concept artist post because i dont think believing in any sort of skill heirarchy (low skill jobs being valued less than high skill jobs) actually helps anyone and of course a lot of AI discourse is plagued by people who are essentially like class un-conscious luddites who can't percieve the world beyond their own fog

How Sunny Turned Uncertainty Into His Superpower

🌟 Sunny’s Story: Passion Over Academics

In 2013, Sunny made a decision that would change the course of his life—he stopped focusing on getting straight A’s. In a world where academic achievement is often seen as the only path to success, Sunny chose a different route: he followed his passion. 🧑‍🎓

"Everyone thought I was crazy," he shares in his interview on Business Story of the Week. But Sunny knew that his passion for leadership and social entrepreneurship would lead him down a unique and rewarding path.

His decision paid off in more ways than one. By focusing on what he loved, Sunny developed a deep understanding of leadership and public speaking, which would later become the foundation of his success.

Public Speaking and the Power of Social Skills

Sunny’s love for public speaking came from an early interest in connecting with people. His parents encouraged him to socialize, reinforcing the importance of communication. This confidence carried him through high school and beyond, turning him into a charismatic and effective speaker. 🎤

"Social skills are everything," he says. And it’s true. Sunny’s ability to engage with people helped him excel in both teaching and entrepreneurship.

Building an Unscalable Business

In 2019, Sunny tackled a problem that had been plaguing him for years: maintaining discipline. Instead of struggling alone, he created an accountability group that allowed him and others to support each other in building healthy habits.

For $20 a month, participants joined Sunny on calls where they discussed their progress. This "unscalable" business wasn’t about making millions—it was about solving a real problem in his life. And guess what? It worked! 💪

The Class That Broke All the Rules

By 2022, Sunny had the chance to create a university class that defied all expectations. With no tests, no homework, and no lectures, the course focused on helping students build real businesses from the ground up.

Students loved it! This hands-on approach gave them the tools they needed to succeed in entrepreneurship. "You can’t learn business from a textbook," Sunny says. "You have to experience it." 📚

Leaning Into Who He Is

In 2023, Sunny fully embraced his authentic self, stepping away from the corporate world and following his passion. His most unique project to date? Hosting dinners with strangers from LinkedIn!

"I wanted to connect with new people in a meaningful way," Sunny explains. This simple yet bold move is just one example of how he continues to embrace uncertainty and forge his own path.

The Takeaway

Sunny’s story teaches us that the road to success doesn’t have to be traditional. By embracing uncertainty and staying true to who you are, you can achieve success in ways you never imagined. So, what’s stopping you? Take that leap today! 🌈 #Entrepreneurship #BusinessJourney #PublicSpeaking #EmbraceUncertainty

Decisions by CVS and Optum Panicked Thousands of Their Sickest Patients

Arthur Allen

NEW YORK — The fear started when a few patients saw their nurses and dietitians posting job searches on LinkedIn.

Word spread to Facebook groups, and patients started calling Coram CVS, a major U.S. supplier of the compounded IV nutrients on which they rely for survival. To their dismay, CVS Health confirmed the rumors on June 1: It was closing 36 of the 71 branches of its Coram home infusion business and laying off about 2,000 nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and other employees.

Many of the patients left in the lurch have life-threatening digestive disorders that render them unable to eat or drink. They depend on parenteral nutrition, or PN — in which amino acids, sugars, fats, vitamins, and electrolytes are pumped, in most cases, through a specialized catheter directly into a large vein near the heart.

The day after CVS’ move, another big supplier, Optum Rx, announced its own consolidation. Suddenly, thousands would be without their highly complex, shortage-plagued, essential drugs and nutrients.

“With this kind of disruption, patients can’t get through on the phones. They panic,” said Cynthia Reddick, a senior nutritionist who was let go in the CVS restructuring.

“It was very difficult. Many emails, many phone calls, acting as a liaison between my doctor and the company,” said Elizabeth Fisher Smith, a 32-year-old public health instructor in New York City, whose Coram branch closed. A rare medical disorder has forced her to rely on PN for survival since 2017. “In the end, I got my supplies, but it added to my mental burden. And I’m someone who has worked in health care nearly my entire adult life.”

CVS had abandoned most of its less lucrative market in home parenteral nutrition, or HPN, and “acute care” drugs like IV antibiotics. Instead, it would focus on high-dollar, specialty intravenous medications like Remicade, which is used for arthritis and other autoimmune conditions.

Home and outpatient infusions are a growing business in the United States, as new drugs for chronic illness enable patients, health care providers, and insurers to bypass in-person treatment. Even the wellness industry is cashing in, with spa storefronts and home hydration services.

But while reimbursement for expensive new drugs has drawn the interest of big corporations and private equity, the industry is strained by a lack of nurses and pharmacists. And the less profitable parts of the business — as well as the vulnerable patients they serve — are at serious risk.

This includes the 30,000-plus Americans who rely for survival on parenteral nutrition, which has 72 ingredients. Among those patients are premature infants and post-surgery patients with digestive problems, and people with short or damaged bowels, often the result of genetic defects.

While some specialty infusion drugs are billed through pharmacy benefit managers that typically pay suppliers in a few weeks, medical plans that cover HPN, IV antibiotics, and some other infusion drugs can take 90 days to pay, said Dan Manchise, president of Mann Medical Consultants, a home care consulting company.

In the 2010s, CVS bought Coram, and Optum bought up smaller home infusion companies, both with the hope that consolidation and scale would offer more negotiating power with insurers and manufacturers, leading to a more stable market. But the level of patient care required was too high for them to make money, industry officials said.

“With the margins seen in the industry,” Manchise said, “if you’ve taken on expensive patients and you don’t get paid, you’re dead.”

In September, CVS announced its purchase of Signify Health, a high-tech company that sends out home health workers to evaluate billing rates for “high-priority” Medicare Advantage patients, according to an analyst’s report. In other words, as CVS shed one group of patients whose care yields low margins, it was spending $8 billion to seek more profitable ones.

CVS “pivots when necessary,” spokesperson Mike DeAngelis told KHN. “We decided to focus more resources on patients who receive infusion services for specialty medications” that “continue to see sustained growth.” Optum declined to discuss its move, but a spokesperson said the company was “steadfastly committed to serving the needs” of more than 2,000 HPN patients.

DeAngelis said CVS worked with its HPN patients to “seamlessly transition their care” to new companies.

However, several Coram patients interviewed about the transition indicated it was hardly smooth. Other HPN businesses were strained by the new demand for services, and frightening disruptions occurred.

Smith had to convince her new supplier that she still needed two IV pumps — one for HPN, the other for hydration. Without two, she’d rely partly on “gravity” infusion, in which the IV bag hangs from a pole that must move with the patient, making it impossible for her to keep her job.

“They just blatantly told her they weren’t giving her a pump because it was more expensive, she didn’t need it, and that’s why Coram went out of business,” Smith said.

Many patients who were hospitalized at the time of the switch — several inpatient stays a year are not unusual for HPN patients — had to remain in the hospital until they could find new suppliers. Such hospitalizations typically cost at least $3,000 a day.

“The biggest problem was getting people out of the hospital until other companies had ramped up,” said Dr. David Seres, a professor of medicine at the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University Medical Center. Even over a few days, he said, “there was a lot of emotional hardship and fear over losing long-term relationships.”

To address HPN patients’ nutritional needs, a team of physicians, nurses, and dietitians must work with their supplier, Seres said. The companies conduct weekly bloodwork and adjust the contents of the HPN bags, all under sterile conditions because these patients are at risk of blood infections, which can be grave.

As for Coram, “it’s pretty obvious they had to trim down business that was not making money,” Reddick said, adding that it was noteworthy both Coram and Optum Rx “pivoted the same way to focus on higher-dollar, higher-reimbursement, high-margin populations.”

“I get it, from the business perspective,” Smith said. “At the same time, they left a lot of patients in a not great situation.”

***

Smith shares a postage-stamp Queens apartment with her husband, Matt; his enormous flight simulator (he’s an amateur pilot); cabinets and fridges full of medical supplies; and two large, friendly dogs, Caspian and Gretl. On a recent morning, she went about her routine: detaching the bag of milky IV fluid that had pumped all night through a central line implanted in her chest, flushing the line with saline, injecting medications into another saline bag, and then hooking it through a paperback-sized pump into her central line.

Smith has a connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which can cause many health problems. As a child, Smith had frequent issues such as a torn Achilles tendon and shoulder dislocations. In her 20s, while working as an EMT, she developed severe gut blockages and became progressively less able to digest food. In 2017, she went on HPN and takes nothing by mouth except for an occasional sip of liquid or bite of soft food, in hopes of preventing the total atrophy of her intestines. HPN enabled her to commute to George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where in 2020 she completed a master’s in public health.

On days when she teaches at LaGuardia Community College — she had 35 students this semester — Smith is up at 6 a.m. to tend to her medical care, leaves the house at 9:15 for class, comes home in the afternoon for a bag of IV hydration, then returns for a late afternoon or evening class. In the evening she gets more hydration, then hooks up the HPN bag for the night. On rare occasions she skips the HPN, “but then I regret it,” she said. The next day she’ll have headaches and feel dizzy, sometimes losing her train of thought in class.

Smith describes a “love-hate relationship” with HPN. She hates being dependent on it, the sour smell of the stuff when it spills, and the mountains of unrecyclable garbage from the 120 pounds of supplies couriered to her apartment weekly. She worries about blood clots and infections. She finds the smell of food disconcerting; Matt tries not to cook when she’s home. Other HPN patients speak of sudden cravings for pasta or Frosted Mini-Wheats.

Yet HPN “has given me my life back,” Smith said.

She is a zealous self-caretaker, but some dangers are beyond her control. IV feeding over time is associated with liver damage. The assemblage of HPN bags by compounding pharmacists is risky. If the ingredients aren’t mixed in the right order, they can crystallize and kill a patient, said Seres, Smith’s doctor.

He and other doctors would like to transition patients to food, but this isn’t always possible. Some eventually seek drastic treatments such as bowel lengthening or even transplants of the entire digestive tract.

“When they run out of options, they could die,” said Dr. Ryan Hurt, a Mayo Clinic physician and president of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition.

***

And then there are the shortages.

In 2017, Hurricane Maria crippled dozens of labs and factories making IV components in Puerto Rico; next came the covid-19 emergency, which shifted vital supplies to gravely ill hospital patients.

Prices for vital HPN ingredients can fluctuate unpredictably as companies making them come and go. For example, in recent years the cost of the sodium acetate used as an electrolyte in a bag of HPN ballooned from $2 to $25, then briefly to $300, said Michael Rigas, a co-founder of the home infusion pharmacy KabaFusion.

“There may be 50 different companies involved in producing everything in an HPN bag,” Rigas said. “They’re all doing their own thing — expanding, contracting, looking for ways to make money.” This leaves patients struggling to deal with various shortages from saline and IV bags to special tubing and vitamins.

“In the last five years I’ve seen more things out of stock or on shortage than the previous 35 years combined,” said Rigas.

The sudden retrenchment of CVS and Optum Rx made things worse. Another, infuriating source of worry: the steady rise of IV spas and concierge services, staffed by moonlighting or burned-out hospital nurses, offering IV vitamins and hydration to well-off people who enjoy the rush of infusions to relieve symptoms of a cold, morning sickness, a hangover, or just a case of the blahs.

In January, infusion professionals urged FDA Commissioner Robert Califf to examine spa and concierge services’ use of IV products as an “emerging contributing factor” to shortages.

The FDA, however, has little authority over IV spas. The Federal Trade Commission has cracked down on some spa operations — for unsubstantiated health claims rather than resource misuse.

Bracha Banayan’s concierge service, called IVDRIPS, started in 2017 in New York City and now employs 90 people, including 60 registered nurses, in four states, she said. They visit about 5,000 patrons each year, providing IV hydration and vitamins in sessions of an hour or two for up to $600 a visit. The goal is “to hydrate and be healthy” with a “boost that makes us feel better,” Banayan said.

Although experts don’t recommend IV hydration outside of medical settings, the market has exploded, Banayan said: “Every med spa is like, ‘We want to bring in IV services.’ Every single paramedic I know is opening an IV center.”

Matt Smith, Elizabeth’s husband, isn’t surprised. Educated as a lawyer, he is a paramedic who trains others at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. “You give someone a choice of go up to some rich person’s apartment and start an IV on them, or carry a 500-pound person living in squalor down from their apartment,” he said. “There’s one that’s going to be very hard on your body and one very easy on your body.”

The very existence of IV spa companies can feel like an insult.

“These people are using resources that are literally a matter of life or death to us,” Elizabeth Smith said.

Shortages in HPN supplies have caused serious health problems including organ failure, severe blisters, rashes, and brain damage.

For five months last year, Rylee Cornwell, 18 and living in Spokane, Washington, could rarely procure lipids for her HPN treatment. She grew dizzy or fainted when she tried to stand, so she mostly slept. Eventually she moved to Phoenix, where the Mayo Clinic has many Ehlers-Danlos patients and supplies are easier to access.

Mike Sherels was a University of Minnesota Gophers football coach when an allergic reaction caused him to lose most of his intestines. At times he’s had to rely on an ethanol solution that damages the ports on his central line, a potentially deadly problem “since you can only have so many central access sites put into your body during your life,” he said.

When Faith Johnson, a 22-year-old Las Vegas student, was unable to get IV multivitamins, she tried crushing vitamin pills and swallowing the powder, but couldn’t keep the substance down and became malnourished. She has been hospitalized five times this past year.

Dread stalks Matt Smith, who daily fears that Elizabeth will call to say she has a headache, which could mean a minor allergic or viral issue — or a bloodstream infection that will land her in the hospital.

Even more worrying, he said: “What happens if all these companies stop doing it? What is the alternative? I don’t know what the economics of HPN are. All I know is the stuff either comes or it doesn’t.”

KHN (Kaiser Health News) is a national newsroom that produces in-depth journalism about health issues. Together with Policy Analysis and Polling, KHN is one of the three major operating programs at KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation). KFF is an endowed nonprofit organization providing information on health issues to the nation.

What Media Recruiters Look for in Fresh Graduates: Insights from Top Employers

In today’s rapidly evolving media landscape, the expectations of recruiters have undergone a paradigm shift. As the Head of Academics at a premier Media College in Delhi, I have had the opportunity to engage with top media employers across print, broadcast, digital, and multimedia platforms. These interactions have provided rich insights into what recruiters actively seek in fresh graduates—insights that are pivotal for students aspiring to break into this competitive industry.

This article aims to bridge the gap between academic preparation and industry expectations by highlighting the key qualities and competencies that make graduates stand out in recruitment processes.

1. Practical Skills Over Theoretical Knowledge

While a strong academic foundation is necessary, media recruiters today prioritize practical skills. Proficiency in tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DSLR and 4K camera handling, podcast editing, and social media analytics often outweigh purely theoretical understanding. Employers prefer candidates who can "hit the ground running" with minimal training.

At HIMCOM, a leading Media College in Delhi, our pedagogy blends classroom instruction with hands-on training. Our state-of-the-art studios, editing labs, and tie-ups with professional media outlets ensure that students are not just academically sound but industry-ready.

2. Portfolio That Reflects Creativity and Initiative

A strong portfolio can often speak louder than a résumé. Recruiters look for students who have initiated projects, written compelling stories, produced short films, or contributed to blogs and online channels. Originality, storytelling ability, and a keen editorial sense are key attributes that recruiters evaluate.

To foster this, HIMCOM encourages students to contribute to our in-house platforms such as HCN News and FM Bajao, as well as external internships. These opportunities allow them to compile rich, diverse portfolios by the time they graduate.

3. Soft Skills and Professional Demeanor

Media is a people-centric industry. Strong communication skills, the ability to work in teams, adaptability, and emotional intelligence are increasingly critical for success. Recruiters consistently report that candidates who are articulate, confident, and presentable have an edge during interviews and screen tests.

As part of our curriculum at HIMCOM, we place significant emphasis on soft skill development. From mock interviews to group discussions and personality grooming sessions, students are prepared for the rigors of newsroom and studio life from day one.

4. Digital Savviness and Social Media Literacy

With the rise of digital journalism and content creation, recruiters are specifically searching for graduates fluent in social media trends, SEO writing, online engagement metrics, and video production for platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Understanding how to craft content that resonates across platforms is now a core skill.

HIMCOM integrates these competencies into every level of its programs. Our digital journalism modules are designed to teach students the nuances of mobile journalism (MoJo), real-time reporting, and audience targeting—making us a top choice among those seeking a forward-looking Media College in Delhi.

5. Internship Experience and Industry Exposure

Industry internships provide students with firsthand experience and often act as a gateway to full-time employment. Recruiters trust candidates who have previously worked in live environments and demonstrated commitment under real-world pressure.

At HIMCOM, our dedicated placement cell collaborates with leading media houses such as Aaj Tak, India TV, and NDTV. Our students regularly intern in newsrooms, production studios, and digital content teams—often converting internships into job offers.

6. Ethical Awareness and Responsible Journalism

In an era plagued by misinformation, the media industry is placing renewed importance on journalistic ethics and responsible reporting. Recruiters seek graduates who understand the importance of factual integrity, source verification, and balanced storytelling.

HIMCOM’s curriculum is built on the pillars of ethical media practices. We engage students in debates, case studies, and real-world scenarios to instill a strong moral compass that aligns with the principles of fair journalism.

7. Specialization with Versatility

Today’s media ecosystem values specialists with generalist capabilities. Whether it’s a reporter who understands visual storytelling or a video editor who can write compelling scripts—versatility adds significant value.

HIMCOM addresses this need by offering both specialized certificate courses (such as News Anchoring, Video Editing, and Still Photography) and multi-disciplinary programs. This enables students to find their niche while staying adaptable to various media roles.

Why Choose a Media College in Delhi?

Delhi remains a hub for India’s media and communication landscape. From the offices of national newspapers to the studios of major news channels, the city offers unmatched opportunities for aspiring media professionals.

HIMCOM, located strategically in the heart of South Delhi, stands out as a progressive and career-focused Media College in Delhi. With our industry-aligned curriculum, modern infrastructure, and strong recruiter network, we ensure that students do not just graduate with degrees—but with direction, confidence, and a clear career path.

In a world where content is king and credibility is queen, the media industry needs young professionals who are not only skilled and creative but also ethical and responsible. At HIMCOM, we are proud to nurture such professionals every year.

10 lessons I learned from Amazon

AKA things I don't have the heart to post on LinkedIn, so it'll go on my Tumblr instead

Working for a company that has a start-up mindset despite employing 3 million people has its upsides and drawbacks. And sometimes they mean the same thing. For example, you learn to be resourceful because there is no single way to doing things at Amazon. Everyone does their own thing, so you learn to adapt and be scrappy. A net positive, because you learn, but it's frustrating as hell.

The higher you are up the corporate ladder, the dumber you become at reading. Someone becomes a senior leader and he magically loses the ability to make sense of letters strung together, and when a phone tool award clearly says DO NOT EMAIL THE ADMINS, he will, in fact, email the admins and demand his phone tool award.

Silly little things like phone tool awards matter so much that people will fight tooth and nail to be given one, even when it has no real currency and no bearing to how people do work at Amazon.

There is always a pre-meeting prior to the real meeting, because we're all children and cannot be trusted to know to say the right thing at the actual meeting.

At Amazon, you are allowed to disrupt people's sleep for every non-issue and inconvenience plaguing your existence at the company. There is a paging mechanism (with a painful siren alarm to boot) which allows you to summon servants from their slumber by pressing a button, preferably going off at 3 in the morning for the full effect.

Everyone is required to read a document in meetings, after which people will need to comment on the doc and discuss them afterward, giving true meaning to "this could have been an email". Because, Jeff, you could have just forwarded the doc for us to read and mark up, and you could've scheduled a call if things need further discussion. But where is the fun in that?

Re-orgs are so frequent that I have had more managers than I have had years working for the company. And re-orgs are often done in a way that is disruptive to work, because there is no other way.

The more you weave Amazon's 16 Leadership Principles and use buzzwords like "Work backwards" or "It's always Day 1", the more chances you get of being inducted into their secret corporate cult.

You don't need to lift a finger. You just need to claim credit for someone else's work, et voila! Promotion.

They do stack-rank people, but don't disclose it. :)
