ickplant@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•He Died Without Getting Mental Health Care He Sought. A New Lawsuit Says His Insurer’s Ghost Network Is to Blame.5·2 months agoThere is a lot of oversight on therapists, every state has a regulatory board. We have to go through thousands of client hours before getting our license, which can get revoked if we do anything illegal or unethical. Maybe you’re thinking of life coaches?
ickplant@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Kennedy says COVID vaccines no longer recommended for healthy children and pregnant women312·2 months agoMy husband and I got Covid last week. Probably the new variant. Our latest booster was 6 months ago. This variant KICKED OUR ASS. We are on week 2 of coughing, wheezing, and feeling extremely tired. Lost a bunch of income from our respective businesses because we were not able to do any work at all.
This was a stark reminder of how important it is to keep up with boosters. I hope that we can find a way to keep getting them, even if that means paying out of pocket or lying.

Like first responders got during 9/11.6·3 months agoIt always amuses me when local shops/restaurants give discounts to cops but not to mental health workers. Like, we often clean up trauma inflicted by cops. Get your priorities straight.

Either way, it worked, and I crumbled like the liar I was.

The temp went up to 42 Celsius, and my mom thought I was dying. She wanted to call the ambulance, and I had to come clean. Fun times.

A vaccinated man in Colorado was just diagnosed with measles. Of course, the severity of his illness will be greatly diminished by being vaccinated, but still.
From their website:
“Located in Detroit’s North End Neighborhood, MUFI’s campus is nearly 3 acres large. Within its footprint, the campus features a collection of projects, each of which are in varying stages of development. Approximately 1/3rd of the campus is dedicated to production farming, another 1/3rd to interactive agriculture, and the remaining 1/3rd to hardscaped space (i.e. structures).
MUFI has been operating at this location since 2011. Thanks to the help of over 10,000 volunteers who have engaged in over 100,000 of volunteer service MUFI has been able to grow and distribute over 50,000 pounds of produce (grown using organic methods) to over 2,000 households within 2-square miles at no cost to the recipients.”
“An agrihood is a type of planned community that integrates agriculture into a residential neighborhood. The purpose is to facilitate food production as well as provide green space, recreation, aesthetics and value for a community.”
Needs more veins.

I get your point, I really do, but I think the dude just might be a Nazi regardless of whether he has bipolar.

If we are thinking of the same guy, he had a green card but forgot to file some obscure form at some point. And was detained at his naturalization hearing, aka when trying to become a citizen. He absolutely had the papers he needed, he had the permanent resident card, and there was never any communication about the missing form.
