I feel this! I'm a Medical Laboratory Scientist and all the unholy abomination stock photos of blood tubes with COVID antigen test results written on the tube.... There was a subreddit just for shitty science stock photos.

I don't get it either. I was working in a hospital lab in TX for H1N1 (swine flu) in 2009. The hospital lined up all staff members to get the brand new H1N1 vaccine and you either got it or signed a declination. Declining meant you got a sticker on your badge requiring you to wear a mask for the entire flu season while at work. No fits, no protests, and everyone cooperated. My mind is blown by how toxic the rhetoric became.
Even Nurses with a bachelor's degree have a very light core science foundation. They take Biology for Health Sciences 1 and 2 instead of the Biology 1, 2, 3, and 4 that biology majors take. I had a nurse ask me if creatinine had a "nice little abbreviation" like Sodium (Na) and Magnesium (Mg).... Creatinine isn't an element on the periodic table so no, it doesn't. It is lots of C's H's O's and probably some N's. I had another nurse ask me to explain saturation. Nurses sent cookies to the lab (a "dirty zone") in the same carrier tubes that hold sputum, blood, urine, and stool. Then they were confused on why we threw the cookies away and scolded them for the unsafe practice. Their education prepares them for the job of nursing not research scientist.
Yes! I went to an evangelical church run private school. They had the brilliant idea to send good "strong Christian" students to raves and parties to narc on their classmates that attended said raves and parties. I wish I was making that up.
One of the girls in my college dorm taught me how to knit my freshman year. My mom taught me how to sew, cross-stitch, ribbon embroidery etc. when I was a kid.
Today I found a hidden note on a pin from one of my LYS. It definitely applies. Completion is better than perfection
They look great!

You don't work in healthcare. Half your coworkers are on vacation and patients aren't π
I have witnessed this exchange >.<
I also saw the original Chucky movie when I was a kid at a slumber party. I spent a lot of time helping my friend's mom make popcorn.
Fast forward to my early 20s. A friend's 5yo found a Chucky doll at the thrift store. Oh, the poor baby's hurt! I want to take care of the baby and make it better! So her mom buys it for her and she took it EVERYWHERE. I gave that situation sooooo much side eye, I was not ok. The 5yo had zero idea of the context and loved that "hurt baby". My friend made it clear to us that we couldn't explain it to her.
