From Hancock County Naturlalists
About 1 second after this photo was taken this morning, 2 things were learned:
Owlet learned he could not fly!
I learned Owlets can swim!
Its flight lasted about 5 feet and SPLASH...right in the middle of the river! It just kind of was a blob in the water. I am thinking to myself...OH NO am going to have to go on a rescue mission! After a few seconds it started using its wings to paddle itself through the water. However, instead of going to the opposite bank it came back to where it took off, but a little more wet!
Which podcast, if I can ask? I'm interested to hear the conversation around the issue.
And I really should make a point to pop in here and only here to see adorable owls lol. So much of the general internet is just a toxic hellscape, and you help make this community a breath of fresh air.
I just need to learn to control my interneting habits better hahaha
I went back and found it. It seems it wasn't focused solely on ratios, but it was an interview with Shift Change, who seem to want reform on all aspects of the nursing union.

I'm glad to have helped make a place for you to all come for a smile. There's enough people handing the depressing stuff, so I prefer a less crowded field. ๐
Oh interesting. That group seems to be specifically about the national union called National Nurses United. Up here in Mass, we have a really strong state union, the Massachusetts Nurses Association, that is representing my hospital's nurses at the negotiating table. My MNA seems very transparent in my experience with them.
I'll definitely give this a listen though. I think the strength and health of unions anywhere affects the strength and health of unions everywhere.
