most patients i work with are seniors and i had a patient the other day say "this is my first time in the hospital!" despite being like 70-80 something, and every time a patient says something like that it sorta knocks me on my ass. like it's unfathomable to me

Look I know everyone on Fox News are assholes but I CANNOT get over one of the last clips I happened to overhear a bit ago about trans women getting into- get this- boxing. The sport where matches are generally decided by weight class. So regardless of background the opponents are working with the same amount of weight. And, of course, the object is to beat each other up faster
"Just wait until someone gets hurt", I don't know which of those dumb jokers said it but it's been driving me up a wall. Imagine having that poor of an argument you say - about boxing- just wait until someone gets hurt, then you'll be sorry.
Oh yes, god forbid anyone ever gets hurt while boxing, a notoriously safe pass time that never results in injury 👂🤡

working on foundations of decay after…a long time bc everything i’ve posted so far has been pre-written like. months ago. def before my lil writers block episode.
and it’s—interesting, really. reminds me why i love fanfiction so much. it’s the endless possibilities. i can do whatever with my characters, manipulate the situation to my fancy and…that’s okay? it’s in my control?
writing only one shots definitely makes u forget that lil fact tbh there’s just not enough time & space

you know, there are plenty of kids getting dental veneers. I’m trying to look up studies on the regret rate of dental veneers, for anybody, whether adults or minors, and if they exist it’s impossible to find them because the marketing around cosmetic dentistry is so aggressive. they may not exist at all, idk. but there are huge numbers of anecdotal accounts of people experiencing terrible regret over veneers. are there studies on this? veneers are permanent. I mean, not exactly, you pay thousands to get them and then they wear down in 10-15 years whereupon you have to pay thousands to replace them again. but you can’t un-get veneers. you can’t undo filing your teeth down to get them put in. things going wrong with your teeth is a quality of life disaster, vastly under-acknowledged in healthcare and especially US healthcare, so if you regret your veneers and you’re stuck with them, you could be really miserable. yet, again, the marketing is aggressive and I know people who have had dentists recommend they get veneers for things like minor staining. weirdly no widespread moral panic or attempts at legislation over this

Am I the only one going on with my life and sometimes it just hits me that they really brought Tommy back and made him Buck’s love interest? I don’t know how to explain and describe what I feel but it just makes me smile so much when I stop what I’m doing and think about that.
no, it's actually mind boggling that this is real.
what really gets me is that, contrary to the people in my inbox crying the writers are giving us "scraps", they didn't need to go this hard. there's plenty of shows that have canonised bi characters with a throwaway line only to never bring it up again. which tbh, i thought if we ever did get bi buck, that would be how.
so the fact we've got a fully realised bi realisation arc with a romance they've clearly put a lot of effort into (down to picking a character that would be easy long term to weave in and out of the story) is incredible.
