suprised more people havent seen the fuller context of this clip cause its way more insane

there was a four year long typhoid outbreak in ottawa. seven cases were traced back to an asymptomatic food handler, known in the outbreak report as case A. in september 2022, this outbreak was declared over. as of july 2024, no further infections in this cluster have been detected.

around 2%-5% of people who get infected with typhoid fever become chronic carriers that can infect other people for years. in this outbreak, case A worked in multiple grocery stores between 2018 and 2022.

and do you know what one of the main conclusions of the outbreak report was? do you know what the people who investigated this typhoid outbreak concluded?

they concluded that it is a health risk for food handlers to not have comprehensive benefits.

case A was forced out of work in food for 59 days without adequate compensation, despite the leave from work being mandated, and had to get a second job.

...

...

it is dangerous for food handlers to not get paid leave. especially when that leave is mandatory.

this shit NEEDS to change. lives depend on it.

I think this is just a trend everywhere but I've been very frustrated this week by how much admin work is being outsourced to me as the patient/customer.

My orthodontist tells me I can make an appointment with the surgeon. I call the surgeon. They tell me I need a new referral. I call the orthodontist. They do a referral. I call the surgeon. Referral didn't come through. They tell me about their special unique system we have to use. I call the ortho again and walk them through the referral. I call the surgeon. They say the referral was missing some details so they have to do it again. I call the ortho.

The insurance company calls me about repair shops. I give them the name of the repair shop which I already gave them yesterday. They say they're not in their system but I can use them, but I have to call the repair shop to ask them to contact the insurance company. I call the repair shop and they say the insurance company is supposed to email them.

I feel like at a certain point these constant fetch quests become unreasonable?? Is it too much to expect these groups to communicate with each other instead of making me run back and forth between them???

Made this post and then the new property manager (who started on Monday and only finally emailed us today because I sent a vaguely professionally hostile email to her boss because I hadn't heard anything and was not convinced she existed) asked for a list of open action items which her predecessor should have had but apparently wasn't keeping track of, which I learned when I met her boss and provided her with the list of open action items, which I guess tragically died in a fire in the last 2 weeks since she was sitting at my kitchen table, being menaced by the skull. How many people's jobs am I doing now

It has a name!!!

is it okay if i let my popular and likely misinformed understanding of a term from your field play with your official definition of the term. cutely

Personal zine about the Dendrogaster and myself.

Teddy paused near bush line in the Ahuriri Conservation Park when he saw some wildflowers blooming along the trail, he always has time for a flower break.

watched a porno where the two guys just kind of noncommittally jerked each other off for what felt like forever and when one of them eventually shot his load the other went "oh shit wtf!" and pogged like he didn't know something like that could even happen but thought it was kind of cool in a scary way

idk sorry

guyy who goes to sleep farting and sleeps for 20 years and wakes up still farting and his wife left him and his kids grew up without him and his house was demolished with him in it and he got crush by a bulldozer & died

~TIME SENSITIVE~ Emergency: Please help!!!

Tuesday, April 8th: Hello, everyone. I’m Gem, a bi, mentally ill, and disabled woman in desperate need of help as I'm struggling to pay my overdrawn account and keep my utilities on!!

I apologize for asking for help again. As most of you know from my previous posts, I have been struggling to make ends meet while on welfare. And due to my outstanding bills and ever-increasing debt, it has been difficult for me to get by. These past few months have been absolute hell, and with no other income, I've been relying on the kindness of others to get by.

I desperately need that kindness again as I've tried really hard to put off making this post and try to deal with my overdrawn balance myself, but bills keep coming out, and I desperately need help, especially as my electricity is about to go off and I don't receive my welfare until the 30th!!

Again, I know this is a lot to ask, but if anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would save my life, and sharing helps just as much.

£29.64/£250!!!

Please help me!!!

Didn't pay my dark bill so the power company shut my lights on
