We met through college around five years ago. We have been best friends since. We do everything together. We share a passion for color guard, which is where our bond initially began. We had an intimate ceremony on May 28, 2018 with just us. My (alexas) brother married us, and we celebrated our unity on November 10 with the rest of our family and friends.
One of my old partners got pulled in for an investigation today. The photo is not of him – it’s of a paramedic in California trying to eat something for the first time in nearly ten hours.
My old partner was told that a member of the public took photos of him and his current partner. My buddy was sleeping, and his partner was eating. This member of the public sent the photos with an email that both complained about how “unprofessional” it appeared – and a threat to send the photos to the media.
Thanks to Prop 11 in California, first responders no longer have a right to breaks. AMR lied to the public in a huge way. California was the only state where emergency crews had been granted a legal right to breaks to use the latrine and have a meal. Shifts run a minimum of 12 hours, often 24, and AMR runs their crews into the ground.
My buddy and his partner are in trouble because they were trying to get rest and food while posted on a street corner because we don’t get breaks. This is what AMR tells us to do. Please don’t see something like this and assume that we’re being lazy or not doing our jobs. Don’t take photos or send them to the press. That crew is probably exhausted and overworked.
Medics and EMTs are HUMAN,
It may be surprising, but we *gasp* actually need food. And sleep! And sometimes, there’s no time to go back to the station between calls to do these things. I don’t understand why people tend to think it’s unprofessional for police/fire/EMS/anyone working 12+ hour shifts to be seen eating while on duty. People who work 8 hours get lunch breaks, we don’t have those, you have to find time to eat/sleep/use the bathroom.
They think they’re robots. Even robots need to recharge buddy.
this just in: romaine lettuce carries the e. coli virus and you will Fuckign DIE!

oh my god i’m reading rick riordan’s blog post about how much he hates the movies and… dare i say iconic???
ok so he lists this one letter in full that he sent to fox after they sent him the script. and he starts by listing about five things he liked about the script (the opening scenes are fine, the gate to camp half-blood looks cool, annabeth physically matches percy as well as intellectually). and then the savagery begins.
he sent them back the entire script covered with notes and offered to completely revise the script for them. they turned him down. he truly tried to save us huh???
you guys honestly have to read this for yourselves i’ve only cherry picked a few things there is tons more. he’s never even watched the movies apparently. he went on set one day and came to the understanding that he just wanted to go on with life pretending the movies never existed.
ALSO he apparently has hope for an actually good reboot??? dare we dream???
one of my favorite quotes:
When I first read the script I’ll admit I was plunged into despair at just how bad it was. If I were intentionally trying to sabotage this project, I doubt I could have done a better job than this script.
Me: If nobody worked those minimum wage jobs we’d have no supermarkets or restaurants, no factories, and everything would be filthy because nobody would be cleaning it
My dad: Then somebody else would do those jobs
Me: So you’re saying those jobs need to be done? So they’re essential jobs?
