FINAL UPDATE: yayyyyy it's back to normal! thanks for the helpful comments and reassurance before, I'm glad to say that I checked today and the audio is back to normal as far as I can tell

I'm trying to watch the latest "Make Some Noise" episode on Dropout, but for some reason, the audio is really glitchy? The players' bits get cut out or completely silenced, the laughs sound like they were recorded on a zoom call lmao. I don't think it's my computer, as other videos, even other episodes of make some noise aren't glitching out, is anyone else having this issue?

There was a TikTok of an (American) woman who was documenting her husband’s ICU room and expressing displeasure with the state it was in, it was generally unclean with broken equipment, rust stains, clipped flooring, things that can make a medical environment unsafe. I opened the comments expecting people to be like “Wow, that’s scary. And a huge infection risk. ICU stays often cost patients upwards of $100k and not enough of that money is going to maintenance and cleaning.” But instead it was nurses being utterly vile to this woman. Not saying “You’re right, it’s terrible that we’re forced to do our jobs in unsafe, unclean and outdated environments.” they were telling her she was a prime example of why patients’ families were the worst part of their job.

The hospital that charged my insurance $87k for a single endoscopy & colonoscopy performed on me was recently fined for having dirty equipment. If not on sanitation, if not on giving nurses and providers better wages, if not on updating the facility, where the hell did that money go? If nurses could band together to attack and criticize hospital administration and the American medical system in the way they band together to attack and criticize patients and advocates online, all of our lives could improve.

But of course it is easier to raise the sword against the vulnerable person dependent on your care, on the people often experiencing the worst day of their life when they are too frightened and in pain to treat you with courtesy. It’s easier to lash out at the patient inquiring about their medication after waiting two hours than to lash out at the people responsible for making you responsible for 30 patients at once.

I don’t think anyone blames nurses for hospital rooms being nasty. It’s not their job. It’s the job of custodial staff and maintenance. It’s the job of administration to fund those departments. It’s a problem at the top. If we could all look upwards instead of down when it comes to who we criticize and blame, we could make progress.

@here-nor-ther3 and I made a will wood songs tier list yesterday (just for fun, don't take this too seriously). We ranked songs out of each of his main albums, and then this is the "cumulative" list (neither of us have listened to all of camp here and there so shhhhh)

watching the newly leaked toh pilot storyboards and Eda says "this is beautiful, why would anyone throw this away?"
