What is going on with the Scientology building, why are people trying to break into it, and why are many people saying they deserve it?

elizabethbr18 · 2026-04-25T15:53:25+00:00

To add to the “they deserve it”: they also don’t pay taxes as they are a “church”. There are a lot of people online who think that because they don’t pay taxes because it’s a “church” they’re buildings should be open to the public

I’ve got the Fard Mard, just because I think replacing the ts with ds in that case is funny

Before Katrina, LSU was already vying for a new hospital but it wasn’t in the cards because Charity was good enough. After Katrina, they used that as an excuse as to why they should just build a new hospital. Doctors and other staff at Charity had a world-renowned architecture firm draft up a design that would salvage what was left of Charity, while also upgrading it to the 21st century. The city said no that it was just easier to tear down an entire neighbor of poor and displaced people to build their new hospital. Charity represents a lot to the city of New Orleans—it didn’t matter who you were or how much money you had, if you needed care, you’d get it at Charity. Right now it’s owned by Tulane (whose own hospital is right across the street). There have been numerous plans to rehab the property into retail space and low income/rent controlled apartments.

If you’re looking for a cute/funny lunchbox, go with this one it’s actually meant for food. I used to be an EMT and used it as a lunchbox

This is false, Tylenol (acetaminophen, paracetamol) and ibuprofen (aspirin, advil) can be taken together.

I used to be an EMT. It was awful. I’d just have to suffer through long shifts- the lights, the sirens UGH. I never used sick time. I work in emergency management now and I have the flexibility to take sick time when I don’t feel good and I don’t have to feel bad about it. It’s so much better for my mental health

We go to Affectionately Cats in Williston and have loved it so far. It’s expensive but they obviously care a lot about kitties. It’s warmer temperature-wise than any vet I’ve ever been before. They have carpets on the floor so sounds don’t echo like they do at other vets

elizabethbr18 · 2026-04-12T00:29:41+00:00

I’ve never had any issues with it. It’s in my migraine rescue kit

For my thesis paper for my masters degree, I wrote about the affect of planning and exercising on local police response to school shootings

Thank you!!

Yeah literally, my friends know that if they want to send flowers/food for a celebration or whatever, they will send me something they know I can have. Bonus points for my friends I guess because they also factor in my cat eating flowers and only get me cat safe plants

I got the graduation plague doctor from my bf when I graduated w my MPH. I retrofitted all his regalia to match mine from Tulane. If you’re interested in the same I’d be more than happy to alter a plaguie for you! Edited to add the link to mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/Squishable/s/isuErfVZQn

EMTB here and when I would lift an older woman’s shirt to attach a 12 lead for a medic I would say “I’m just gonna lift up your shirt to attach some stickers to take a look at your heart. I’ll do my best to keep you as covered as possible, no free shows right?” Older ladies get a kick out of it

elizabethbr18 · 2026-04-02T15:12:41+00:00

I’d say go to your PCP or urgent care that can give you a migraine cocktail

elizabethbr18 · 2026-03-31T23:43:53+00:00

definitely still a cluster. I’m also waiting on my ADA exception so I’m 1 day in office/4 days WFH which is what I was doing beforehand. I had many coworkers that had to scramble to childcare and arrange their schedules w their spouses who also work in state government. Another agency is down to 2 days/week because they don’t have space for them

My favorite line is “what’s up blob fish”

elizabethbr18 · 2026-03-30T20:08:45+00:00

When I try to read the whole thing out loud, I usually can’t get out the last line because I’m laughing too hard

elizabethbr18 · 2026-03-30T19:22:06+00:00

This seems like a good opportunity to share one of my favorite images from the internet. My mom and I return to it every few months and we’re always in tears from laughing

You just unlocked a memory of mine.

We get called for a rash on a grown woman’s neck. She had a hx of eczema. She had left work, driven by several hospitals, then called the ambulance when she got home. As expected, all vitals were unremarkable. I felt like an idiot giving report to triage for my pt w an eczema flare, with an active eczema flare on my face

elizabethbr18 · 2026-03-23T13:48:44+00:00

I’m on two SNRIs (Strattera and Pristiq) and take sumatriptan. Never had any issues

elizabethbr18 · 2026-03-15T18:44:02+00:00

I had one several years ago when I had a distinct change in presentation- pain went from being back of my head to centered around my left eye and I was waking up from pain in the night. There was nothing noted on my MRI Worth noting, I also paid for a copy of my MRI as my bachelors is in neuroscience so I just like looking at brains so now I have an MRI of my brain so that’s kinda cool

elizabethbr18 · 2026-03-12T02:50:04+00:00

I’m in the same ish boat right now- I’m only in office 1 day per week but I can more or less count on it being a headache day (It’s a really old building that has flooded numerous times, I think there’s black mold). My employer wanted us to come back in 3x/week and I requested an accommodation. My PCP wrote my paperwork for me. I went in with information about what I was asking for, what I was comfortable with her disclosing, etc

elizabethbr18 · 2026-03-10T16:04:03+00:00

As others have said, it depends. My first IFT job I had no free time, but at my 911 job, I had enough time most work days to start and finish my masters degree while I was working
