    California BON, woes of travel nursing, and all about Klone's life

    heron replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I cut my aggressive gay minority teeth on the feminist self-help movement. It taught me that there is truth in personal experience, even when it doesn't conform to the pronouncements of conventional...

    California BON, woes of travel nursing, and all about Klone's life

    heron replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    It's obvious that I can't speak for Klone. My own suspicions center on the current push for a theocracy. Radical right Christians have a long history of preaching the death penalty for homosexuality...

    Overly sensitive, or bullying/inappropriate behavior?

    heron replied to evilolive07's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    And here's the problem: confusing the workplace with a therapy group. "Where's the compassion"? Really? This is bullying, pure and simple.. Where's your compassion for the coworkers who have...

    Overly sensitive, or bullying/inappropriate behavior?

    heron replied to evilolive07's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Agree with both previous posters that this is not bullying. This is your manager doing her job. I know from personal experience how it feels when the job I was hired for - full time charge nurse...

    Doesn't that put the onus on pro-choicers to do some public fact checking - aka consciousness raising? Women who need late-term abortions have been an invisible constituency since forever. It's up to...

    What caught your attention in the world today?

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Yes. I'm frankly leery of most of what's been published on the subject. Vietnam and Iran are two examples of major conflicts entered into because of deliberate lies. I'd really rather not get dragged...

    The Trump Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Naaah - I read the post under discussion an ill-informed attempt to minimize anything that might document trump's lawlessness. The silly riff about liberals was supposed to make us defensive. Pure...

    Well thank you Captain Obvious! Flipping conspirators is SOP when going after criminal enterprises like drug gangs and organized crime families. It's not mystifying at all that magadonians would look...

    heron replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    US wartime propaganda hasn't really changed much over the course of my adult life. History is, after all, written by the winners. As far as dead babies are concerned, whose dead babies am I...

    heron replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It's a lot of peoples' suspicion. I've seen it all over lefty commentary. No solid evidence though. Not worth chasing down yet. In fact, we may never know. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing the...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    You missed my point. I was referring to the fact that just about every argument over trans identity seems to be over MTFs. As if that is the only direction that matters. FTMs are seldom, if ever,...

    True. What I'm referring to is the anti trans rhetoric floating around the general social atmosphere, for instance the hysteria over bathrooms. Does it have to do with reproductive capacity? Policing...
