Want to Make More $ Billing Care Management Hours?

Billing and Profit are often mind-numbing to care managers who start an Aging Life or geriatric care management business because they are nurses and social workers who never bill but get a paycheck. However, billing and profit need to be in the toolbox of care management skills. Beware– without the tools and skills to make money- your great idea of a private geriatric care management…

once again thinking about jason as duke’s robin. he’s ~4 years younger than jason, and that puts him at 8-12 during Jason’s time as robin. that’s prime time to get attached to your local kid vigilante before your own life goes downhill.

and if we try to keep duke’s meeting with bruce in zero year + duke’s age (so he can remember the meeting and hold that conversation with bruce), he has to be around 8. if he starts following batman through the news at that time because of the mess that just happened, the robin he sees is probably jason. I’ve literally connected the dots

#we are not of course keeping zero year itself. what a mess.#maybe smth very similar so it’s still the riddler causing mass chaos!#the titans so we actually keep the no robin physically present in the story part the same #look. if we want zero year convo we need to give bruce a robin at the time. it could be 17-18yr old who’s not even in gotham bc he’s with #by time tim shows up he’s already attached to jason #and then steph’s robin suddenly for a bit but only for a bit. and then tim comes back but he’s in bludhaven for a while #i do think duke would think steph is really cool tho. and they reasonably couldve met as civilians #and then duke’s busy bouncing around foster homes the streets and looking for his parents #i wanted to talk about how much i love it and the tags are just be working out a timeline for post crisis events & post flashpoint ones (an #some of duke’s important events are related to things which are no longer canon. such is life. let’s do our best based on ages)#duke thomas #jason todd

Thinking about how if Shermy Pines. And like, if he is the baby, he’d be born in the 1970s and be 40 by 2012 and he’s already a grandad. He had to be a teen dad in the 80s (after a severe economic recession) and then his kid ended up being a teen parent by 1999 (Which is 8 years before ANOTHER SEVERE ECONOMIC RECESSION LOL)

Also he was born into a pretty broken family, probably rarely if ever saw his brothers. Do you think he ever saw Stanley before he had to start pretending to be Ford? Do you think Ford visited from college??? Because he didn’t seem confident facing his father until he made millions, so like???

And, like, do you think Filbrick and Caryn changed as parents by the time they raised Shermy? Because it seems like a trend that as parents get older they mellow out a bit, so Shermy probably has a completely different experience with their parents then Stan and Ford, and talking to them is just “is this seriously the same parents???” (Imagine the silent resentment that’d cause 😭😭😭)

Personally I headcannon that Shermy had a daughter (Mabel and Dipper’s mom) and not a son like it says on the wiki because c’mon. Can he just have a daughter. Idk why this is important to me but… c’mon. Can he just have a daughter. It just feels right to me.

#gravity falls #Shermy pines #sherman pines #him being the same age as my parents feels weird #also him and his kid would’ve had kids at like age 14 #he’d be like 28 by the time Mabel and Dipper are born #CAN YOU IMAGINE #not even 30 yet #no wonder Mabel and Dipper’s parents are fighting #they got together in like freshman year #that’s if their actual parents are still together #is Shermy even alive tho? bc why didn’t Mabel and Dipper’s parents send them to their actual grandparents #maybe Shermy was an awful parent or something #or maybe he was busy with something else and Stanley was eager to take them #I imagine the call to ‘Stanford’ would’ve been like #‘hey I know you’re probably busy doing scientific research and all but #would you possibly be able to take Mabel and Dipper for the summer?’#and his reaction was just ‘YES. YES. ABSOLUTELY YES. WHEN CAN YOU SEND THEM OVER? CAN YOU SEND THEM OVER NOW???’#Or maybe they just remembered how happy Stan was when he saw Mabel and Dipper for the first time #supposedly he refused to give them back lol #so they’re like ‘hey he’s a lonely old guy. maybe he’d like to spend the summer with the kids’#bc they’re probably aware it’s a lot to ask for someone to take some kids for a WHOLE summer #also maybe Shermy just doesn’t live in a place suitable for kids #like ‘Stanford’ has a whole cabin in the woods #Shermy ‘I had to raise kids in an economic crisis’ Pines might live in an apartment or something #that or he’s dead.#how fucked up would it be if he ACTUALLY died in a car crash #and Stanley winces as his faked death didn’t age well

Someone pissed me off a couple of days ago

So! Below are several links to programs and foundations that promote adult literacy! Hundreds of millions of adults world wide were failed by their education system and now must fend for themselves while trying to read contracts and hospital bills and infographics from the CDC. But they don't have to be alone, and it is never too late to learn!

ProLiteracy: A network of educators, researchers, and advocates which provides research reports, learning materials, and other support to adult education programs. They assist with connecting volunteers to local programs and provide guidance and support to community leaders trying to use their programs' findings to advocate for social and political change.

Adult Literacy League: An adult education program in Central Florida, which aims to provide students with one on one attention to foster growth and confidence. It also offers English Second Language courses and job skills training, and each new student receives a comprehensive assessment to determine the best plan for them.

Saint Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center's Foundational Skills Program: A 100% free adult education program aimed at adults reading below a fifth grade level. It operates year round and is either in person or remote, and they now have a GED testing center that is open to students and the public alike.

Washtenaw Literacy: A free network of trained tutors for adults in Washtenaw County, Michigan.

Adult Learning Program (Las Vegas/Clark County): Free education classes to those lacking a high school diploma, those seeking to learn ESL, and adults who read below an eighth grade level. Also assists in students' search for gainful employment. Nevada got so fucked by COVID and the education/literacy numbers in the South West are grim. Please help these guys.

Hawaii Literacy: In addition to helping adult residents of Hawaii Island learn to read and write AND bridging the education gap in Hawaii's underserved children, they offer computer literacy classes, ESL classes, and a bookmobile. 1 in 6 Hawaiian adults struggle to read and write.

#Not Stories #mutual aid #adult literacy #'uuhhhggg its soooo disappointing when i meet a girl who's like 'yeah omg i luv 2 read'#'and then she only reads booktok trash and grocery store thrillers and manga'#'like come on thats such a turn off :/'#'like aren't you bored??? what about reading The Foundation and War & Peace and Grapes of Wrath where's THAT girl haha'#nobody gives a shit what sort of high school reading list gets your dick stiff! NOBODY!#I'm too busy dealing with the fact that most public education systems hate students of color and anyone with a learning disability #from the very bottom of my very dyslexic heart go fuck yourself #'this chick only read 8 books in twelve months lmfao thats so pathetic'#'i read eight books a MONTH some people really give up after high school'#do you think my great grandfather or his father got to fucking finish high school????#or were they busy getting fucking shot at in germany in two different fucking wars????#thank every god you wanna name that my lunatic mother stopped abusing me long enough to put me through FIVE YEARS OF TUTORING #to get ME literate because that's what it fucking took #I watched more than one kid from my underserved semi rural district drop out at 17 or 16 or 15 #because their parents needed a third paycheck or they were gonna lose the goddamn house #10% of my majority black school district graduated FUNCTIONALLY ILLITERATE and not an ounce of it was those kids' fault #our racist ass school district failed them and the district did NOT protect my white ass when I was diagnosed dyslexic #the adult literacy crisis is not about you getting a girlfriend who can discuss Ayn Rand with you #the adult literacy crisis is about us being exploited and neglected and made easier to control and manipulate #reading is FUCKING HARD and learning to read after the age of six is SO MUCH HARDER #so from the VERY very bottom of my VERY very dyslexic heart #FUCK. YOU.

Jedi Knights refusing to have padawans in the same way that young adults in awful, hostile places refuse to have children.

#ch posts #star wars #its about not wanting to raise a child just to see them suffer #especially during the clone wars i wouldnt be surprised if there were knights beyond just anakin who didn't want to have a padawan #i mean look obiwan got to be a padawan as long as he was because there wasn't a war #and then anakin's a knight for like 6 weeks maybe a 3 months max #and a good portion of that is spent in war #and then what? he gets a padawan who's super young to start out #and her entire padawanhood is literal warfare #the older Jedi masters might be less implicitly aware of this #the way people in my parents' gen and older dont realize that #constant recession a housing crisis a slowing economy a pandemic constant gun violence aimed directly at children a shit healthcare system #and rampant bigotries of all kind might not make bringing a child into the world an appealing idea for people my age

i'm too old for pulling an all-nighter, how do my parents do this?? 😭

#mint.txt #maybe it's that middle age crisis in me #i mean half of 100 is 50 and half of 50 is 25 so i definitely qualify for it #uhh for context my parents threw a huge party and them being drunk meant i had to watch over them AND drove them home #this huge party is also the reason why i haven’t updated/written anything in the last 2 weeks asdfghjkl

#this is gonna sound so obnoxious but please stick with me here #it’s been interesting to see my bootstrap believing parents come to terms with the difference between my brother and I #I am so incredibly fortunate/privileged it’s kind of insane #my fiancé is an accountant with a generous family and I’m a lawyer #I think our life is like. the bare minimum of what every human should have just by virtue of being alive #we have decent housing and can afford groceries and modest vacations and have health insurance etc #my family is lower to true middle class depending on the year #and my brother is a broke single grad student in a creative field #but I’m the oldest so my parents will be like ‘well idk why his apartment is so expensive that seems like a poor choice’#and then I tell them what our rent is (and we got a deal because the previous tenants trashed the place)#and they’re like 👀👀👀 pardon #like yeah that’s the housing crisis. idk what to tell you. housing is too expensive #I can’t quite articulate the phenomenon but it’s like me being the prototype of ‘successful’#and then living a modest life fairly similar to my parents when they were my age and decidedly not lawyers is actually clicking for them #like maybe things are actually super broken. and poverty/financial stress has nothing to do with work ethic and everything to do with luck

Care Economy Revived By Kamala Harris

Care Economy Bill Failed in 2003 to be revived by Kamala Harris In 2023, President Biden tried to pass a bill on the care economy, but Senator Joe Manchin blocked the bill, saying it was “welfare economy legislation.” So, we have no new Medicare programs covering dental, vision, and hearing, leaving all but the 10% or union members with rotting teeth or $8,000 bills to dentists they cannot…

All the Missing Pieces - Ch 22

Preview:

Adrien fed Plagg some cheese, his thoughts in disarray. ‘Hey, Plagg…do you…think I’ll have to give to give up being Cat Noir, when the baby comes?’

Plagg eyed him over a mouthful of cheese. ‘I was wondering when you’d realise that.’

Adrien’s heart sank. ‘Has there never been a miraculous holder with children?’

‘Nope. You met the Guardians, right? Bunch of celibate monks making soap and playing complicated boardgames? Holding a miraculous is a life of solitude. When past holders have partnered off, they’ve always given up their miraculous to do so. It’s the only way to get around the whole secrecy and lies part, too.’

‘Huh. Do you…think Marinette’s already worked this out?’

Plagg gave him a look.

‘Yeah, I thought so.’ Adrien sighed and headed for the apartment.

He found Marinette lounging on the sofa, crying at an old episode of ‘My Little Pony’. A plate was balanced on her belly, showcasing a half-massacred chocolate gateau.

Tikki hovered at her shoulder, her eyes drawn in worry. When she saw Adrien, she nodded at him and flew out of the room and down the hall.

He glanced into his jacket and gave Plagg a meaningful look. Plagg took the hint – he’d seen that look enough times to know what it meant – and followed Tikki.

Adrien sat down beside Marinette. ‘Are you okay?’

She stared at the screen, gasping out her words. ‘It’s just – horrible the way – everyone’s – been treating C-cupcake! Making comments about her – appearance, like she’s – getting f-fat, and – everyone just – touching her stomach when she didn’t – she didn’t – give them permission!’

He glanced at the TV. ‘…touching the…pony’s stomach?’

‘Okay, I – might not – might not be talking about M-misty anymore.’

‘Wasn’t it Cupcake?’

‘What – ever!’ She stared sullenly at the gateau, and all the crumbs spilled over her clothes and the sofa like a glitter bomb had gone off. ‘I don’t…I don’t remember eating this.’

He took the plate and placed it on the coffee table, then held her hand. ‘Are people touching your stomach?’

She nodded through tears. ‘They don’t even ask! The hands are just – there before I – have time to tell them to b-back off.’ She gestured at her stomach, which was surreal in its size. ‘That whole rule about – respecting people’s b-bodies and p-private space – that we’re taught in s-school? It just – goes out the w-window when you’re p-pregnant. I’m f-fair game. For that and – everyone talking about how – how – b-big I am. Look at Marinette, isn’t she b-big? Marinette, you’re huge! Are you carrying twins?’ Her eyes rounded with urgency. ‘Adrien, do you…do you think twins run in your family?’

‘Well, I…I think twins skip a generation….’

She slumped back against the sofa and exhaled loudly. ‘Thank god.’ The tears slowed and she got her breathing a little under control.

Then she sat up again, that urgency back on her face. ‘Wait. You and Felix were made identical…but Emilie and Amelie….’

He nodded. ‘That’s just it. With normal genetics, they should skip a generation, which suggests that…it’s possible, yeah. I have no idea how it works if the father is a sentimonster, though.’
