I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

My boss and the other 2 clinic nurses started squawking at me like caged birds, saying that it was a legitimate concern (it absolutely was not), and that I should be more worried about it (not at all). I told them that they need to check their racism at the door, and google is their friend.

I looked at my boss + her colonizer chorus, and said (loud enough to be heard over the rest of the room)…and I popped off w/the most polite snark I think I’ve ever come up with on the fly. The MAs stopped dead & stared at me, shocked. My boss & the other 2 nurses looked like I hit them when I said…

“You know, if you’re *THAT* worried about them not speaking English on the rez, I guess that means it’s about time for you colonizers to start working on your Anishinaabemowin! Just remember that you don’t use your finger to point at things-unless you want a face five with a fist!”

One of the MAs looked at her and flat out said “Are you fucking kidding me?” Another one of the MAs grabbed her bag, said “Absolutely not, I’m going to HR”…and went right to HR. The NP said “Are you joking? You can’t be serious!”…which was the queue for the other 2 nurses to jump in to defend…

She really hated the fact that I came in with almost no experience, virtually no training, and built a clinic from the ground up to see double the patients per day than she was seeing, and figured out how to code it properly in order to help w/the stability of the financial end.

@megaholt.medsky.social

Why does all that matter? Because during the staff meeting in March 2016, while we were discussing these health screenings at Bay Mills Rez, my…*pretty* boss, with her newly minted master’s of science degree, looked at all of us with the most serious look I’d ever seen on her face…

The 2 other clinic nurses and my boss were absolutely racist, xenophobic, and all around just venomous, spiteful, cruel, hateful people who looked down on those who didn’t blend in with them. Then there was the FNP, who was a Black woman (the other nurses didn’t like her; I loved her, though!)

@megaholt.medsky.social

There was the doctor, who was of Chaldean descent (the other nurses didn’t like him, either-but, again, I greatly enjoyed him as a doctor and person), and the man who kinda helped keep everything running, who was Latino (everyone loved him, because he was just the greatest person ever).

At my second nursing job-which was at one of the major medical systems in the Detroit area-I worked in outpatient pediatrics, with the school-based and public health program. We were getting prepared to go do our second summer doing health screenings partnered w/the Boys and Girls Club of Michigan.

I add that last bit about the EKG because I was diagnosed with heart failure completely out of the blue in the summer of 2023, and the ONLY indication of it was a change in my EKG. If my primary care physician hadn’t done that EKG, I very well could be dead right now. I’m not, and I am working…

Eric Bauza’s final film performance, as of right now, is Coyote VS ACME. Roadrunner’s testimony is one of his final character performances in the film. He says “Beep” around 46 times, that’s all he says. Yet it says everything about his strengths and passion as a voice actor, with just one word.
