We've been hearing really bad reports like cancelling elective surgeries at BJC, but the news media never really covers conditions on the ground. The hospital utilization numbers we have seem unable to represent current change as a lot of the hospitals have been pegged at >90% utilization for months or a year now.
Look up at the ceiling vents, every time I do I see a sawstica and I need to know if I going mad or not

Sasha Betz, a 10-year-old patient at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, was able to hold a 3D model of her spine, thanks to St. Louis’ own 3D Medical Printing Center. Located at the BJC Institute of Health on the Washington University Medical Center campus, the center is able to print patient-specific 3D models based on X-rays, MRIs, CAT scans. These models are used to help doctors and patients, like Sasha, prepare for surgery. VIDEO...

WELCOME, AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Hello all, and welcome to the 2021 Holiday MegaSale brought to you by Wraithmarked Creative, Mountaindale Press, Aethon Books, Shadow Alley Press, and Portal Books!
If you didn't know, this year we've turned the sale into a charity event to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!
ST. JUDE & DONATION BY AUTHORS:
While last year this was only a holiday sale, this year:
- Each of our 150+ participating authors has agreed to donate at least $0.01 per book they sell or give away!
AND:
- All five sponsoring publishers have agreed to each donate at least $0.01 per book sold or given away SALE-WIDE.
That means every book you buy/pick up for free net's St. Jude at least $0.05 in donations! If we only do as well as last year, we are likely to raise over $10,000 USD for the Hospital!
For those of you who aren't familiar with the organization, St. Jude's mission statement reads as follows:
The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
So, every book you pick up helps further R&D of pediatric disease prevention and treatment!
(If you'd like to donate directly, check it out here!)

I got a ping for Little Caesar's this morning. I had nothing else going on, so why not take it?
It took me about 15 minutes to drive there because traffic lights in this city are dumb. Just before I get there I realize he doesn't have an actual address listed -- just a range of addresses, as though he used the GPS locator and didn't update it to a specific location.
I text him to ask what his address is. He calls me three seconds later and asks me to cancel the order. Why? Because he's a courier too, and he was trying to get pinged himself so he could get paid to go pick up his food.
I told him I'm finishing the delivery because I already wasted 15 minutes. Turns out, Little Caesar's was out of what he wanted so I had to cancel the order anyway -- I wasn't about to wait for him.
Bro. If you happen to read this: FUCK. YOU. First of all you're a complete moron if you think that trick will work and you won't get caught. Second of all, if you're a Postmate, you realize how valuable our time is and it's a really shitty thing to let another courier spend a quarter hour on something you didn't even want anyway. Third, why would you tell me to cancel the order myself when YOU SHOULD KNOW that frequent cancellations can result in suspension?
If I ever see an order from you again I'm reporting you. Sorry not sorry. You wasted my time, my gasoline and wear and tear on my car and you probably fuck up a bunch of orders that I should be getting.
