Today we recognize and celebrate the legacy of the heroic Navajo Code Talkers.
Their courage, bravery, and intelligence helped our country defeat the Nazis and defend our freedom. Their service is one of the highest acts of patriotism, and their legacy will never be forgotten.
I was a 911 dispatcher for 11 years and this is the worst idea you could possibly think of. You have scenarios where the person can’t speak well either language barriers, injuries or if they’re in a domestic situation and they pretend to call for pizza or something you need a person. You have to be able to determine how someone feels or pick up on what they aren’t saying or how they’re saying things. Same goes for open lines and hang ups. A real person needs to answer the phone not only to ensure the correct response is sent to the right place but to offer piece of mind to the caller and makes them feel safer. Situations where I had to give CPR instructions to a mother and father who’s baby wasn’t breathing was a constant occurrence and you have to be able to calm people down, an AI is not doing that ever. Same goes for dispatching calls, AI cannot do that, in theory it sounds ok for that portion but you have to acknowledge what resources are on hand, where people are, GPS isn’t always accurate so when we started using systems to automatically reroute units who were flagged as “closer” they usually weren’t. But a real person who lives in that county and knows the area, where the stations are, who’s in a move up or coverage or areas that are blocked off due to events that aren’t always in our mapping systems. The list goes on.
Terrible idea
hey so actually, elite (actually all) runners should be fueling enough for regular periods! I lost mine in high school and my pediatrician said “it’s normal for female distance runners”. Then I got to college and the trainer immediately refuted that claim. If we lost our periods, we had to see the nutritionist. Malnourishment/overtraining is not something to normalize.
This woman ran a fast time (2:35!) and has thick hair and muscle definition. You don’t get any of that if you’re starving yourself (or overtraining) to the point of losing your period
I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.
A bird has never paid rent to live in the sky. A tree has never paid to stand in a forest. The sun has never been charged for rising. The river has never paid to flow.
Yet humans spend their whole lives trying to earn permission to exist on earth
The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point.
NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious.
A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.
Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.
Learned about something called a "glimmer" recently. It's the opposite of a trigger. A tiny moment that makes you feel good. Coffee hitting right. Sun on your face. Your dog losing its mind when you walk in the door. Most of us are trained to scan for threats all day. Flip that. Start scanning for glimmers. Same exact life starts feeling completely different.
In order for me to write poetry that isn't political,
I must listen to the birds.
And in order to hear the birds,
The warplanes must be silent.

My main takeaway from the Bible was that Jesus hung around w whores, scammers and the maladjusted and outcast because they were far more decent people than the so called righteous
Idk who needs to hear this but clean your home. I saw a Tik Tok video of a woman cleaning her home that said “taking care of what God has already given me, so he knows I appreciate and care for what’s to come. No matter where life takes you, you have to learn to take care of what he’s given you otherwise, he can’t give you more”.
This is your reminder 🤍
