Been thinking a lot about how social media sorta started out as a way to connect people, and how it has changed so vastly over time to the point it’s not about connecting people anymore but about promoting the content that generates the most clicks and interactions, and therefore the most money.

You’re more likely to encounter a bot than a real person. Your posts are going straight into the void unless you appeal to the masses (e.g make something controversial, or use clickbait). Your post on Reddit is ignored in favour of Title: My Girlfriend Just Cheated on Me With My Husbands Boyfriend! Your post on TikTok is gonna get 5k views but 1 like because nobody actually cares except your one mutual (if you even have that). Nobody gives a fuck about your creativity unless you use the right bait.

I’ve been thinking about it a lot due to experience with trying to connect with people, sharing my art (etc), and constantly failing to even get seen or acknowledged. Not to mention most people seem to get on social media to be seen and not to be spoken to. Everyone just avoids each other like the godsdamned plague. Everyone hates each other, there’s always some discourse that is fucking stupid.

Welcome to the internet, I guess, but fuck me I’m tired of it, actually. I just want to make friends because it’s impossible IRL.

I still get excited when my friends refer to me as their friend

"My friend said" "this is my friend" "they're my friend"

Im freaking out inside every time

ranking the best things I have heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)

2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:

3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."

4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: "Please remember that [patient] is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"

5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be put under GA] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*

Bro why did you censor the snake's cloaca on the snake anatomy post??? It's a snake?

I didn't censor anything, what -

oh. Oh, no. That's meant to be a line to show where the tail begins. Oh no, now I look like some weird prude.

Yeah, that's meant to help people grasp the anatomy and visualize how small the tail is in relation to the torso. Not meant to be some kind of weird snake privacy screen
