US Cities Where People Are Choosing Dog Parenthood Over Kids

US Cities Where People Are Choosing Dog Parenthood Over Kids
As terms like “dogsitting,” “dog daycare,” and “furbaby” become part of our vocabulary, it is clear that dogs are the “new kids.” The young generation of millennials and Gen-Z have fewer kids and are adopting dogs more. In fact, cities across the United States are experiencing a notable rise in the preference for dogs instead […]

You know something?
I want to headcanon that Bruce has spent so much time around Alfred that he accidentally uses British insults and terminology.
For instance, he's at a gala, hes having a conversation, and the person says something so infuriating that he calls them a Pillock, and since its America, everyone just stops and looks very confused.
Dick finds this hillarious, until he starts doing it too. He'll accidentally ask someone for a 'rubber' and everyone looks horrorfied.
Tim has learnt from Dick's mistakes, he phases out the English terms, except every now and then he says a word with a very posh English accent. Mostly words he's heard Alfred say a lot, such as 'dinner', and he has to stop and resound that word until it sounds right.
Jason on the other hand, he comes back to Dick slipping all over the place, he finds it hillarious, especially as he tried to fight Nightwing, and out of nowhere he hears the word 'twat'. He can't take it seriously. He doesn't even know where Dick heard it, especially as Alfred never swears.

Vasco seems like a honeycomb (candy) type of guy tbh
Never heard of it before, but it looks nice. Apparently it's really easy to make at home as well? Is it good?? The texture seems interesting.

the rosier siblings give me major californian energy sorry... they're from venice beach and pandora is the crystal-slinging sunkissed hippie who's always drinking disgusting activated-charcoal smoothies. meanwhile evan is the evil silicon valley "productivity" guy with zero human emotions who is actually also consuming just as many Erewhon superfoods. pan is making him mugwort tea.
the black brothers & the evans sisters are all new england born-and-bred, except lily is the only one with the wide gingham headbands and the pressed plaid skirts and the sparkling 4.0 GPA that she'll keep bleeding for until it gets her out of the suburbs
barty is the mayor's ex-son from a tiny West Virginia township nestled deep in the mountains of rural Appalachia. it's been years since he got out but he's still got coppermouth vipers and dagger moths tattooed all down his back….. and you can sometimes hear a nearly imperceptible stringy twang undercutting his syllables……more ragged than it is rasping......

hello again! it’s been a hot minute, I was sick for a bit, and also living in america is a nightmare at all times and it current events kind of killed my drive to draw this kind of thing 🙃
anyway!! it’s the month of halloween!!! here’s something about some new england goth called john who has an interesting relationship with a small town god and this year, the harvest festival is going with a more ancient take on the celebrations. its about new harvest, new life, you know? and because those festival dates are important, instead of nine months, it’s one.

I’ve always loved the idea that Peach is taller than average while Mario is shorter than average. 5’6” plumber falls in love with 6’0” princess. Then they meet 7’4” space princess, eventually. Mario and Daisy(5’5”) have short person get togethers where they plot to find out wtf the tall ones have been hiding on the top of shelves or cupboards.

Larry Householder Former Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives
Looks like Larry has appealed his 20-year prison sentence during his second week in custody.
A damn shame.
Oh, not because he filed for an appeal or that he's even in prison. Its because I can't fuck him now.
On A Side Note: He does look good in prison orange.

Very basic notes I made on this book if anyone else is interested in reading it:
Tumblr media
- The book explores the relationship between the professionalisation of nursing and the migration of Filipinos to the United States in the twentieth century.
- It focuses on the creation of an international Filipino professional nurse labour force within the context of U.S. imperialism.
- The book challenges cultural assumptions about nursing and women's caregiving abilities, as well as assumptions about U.S. immigration and assimilation.
- It highlights the historical role of nursing in U.S. colonialism and the racialisation of Filipinos in the United States.
- The author aims to address the legacies of U.S. imperialism and enhance understanding of contemporary U.S. migration and labour dynamics.
- Nursing in the United States has seen a shift from being predominantly practiced by white and Black women in the past.
- Between 1965 and 1988, a large number of foreign-trained nurses, mostly from Asia, migrated to the United States.
- The Philippines became the leading supplier of nurses to the United States, surpassing other Asian countries like Korea, India, and Taiwan.
- In the late 1960s, Filipino nurses started to outnumber foreign-trained nurses from European countries and Canada in the United States.
- Filipino nurses played a significant role in the foreign nurse workforce, with an estimated 25,000 migrating to the United States between 1966 and 1985.
- By 1989, Filipino nurses comprised the majority (73 percent) of foreign nursing graduates in the United States.
- Filipino nurses are concentrated in large metropolitan and public hospitals in states like New York, New Jersey, California, Texas, Florida, and Massachusetts.
- They also cluster in Midwestern urban areas, particularly Chicago.
- The international migration of Filipino nurses is connected to global restructuring processes driven by the increased demand for services in developed countries and the export of manufacturing to developing countries.
- The United States, with its colonial relationship with the Philippines, has been the leading destination for Filipino nurse migrants historically.
- The majority of international nurse migration, including Filipino nurses, is focused on a small number of countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
- The Philippines has the largest outflow of nurses among nurse-sending countries.
