[urcoolestdoc]

i think we need to focus much more on the beauty of a human body, all the folds, curves, dimples and softness, and much much less on dieting and making yourself smaller

[antisocialworker]

Agreed.

♥️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🖤🤎🩷🩵

Happy pride month to all the queer people who don’t get to celebrate. To the ones that are experiencing their first pride, whether young or old. To the people who have found themselves, and to the ones who are still on that journey. Happy pride month to trans women and trans men alike, to the people that fall in between, to the people that experience neither. Happy pride month to the people who have to sit through sermon after sermon, who have to hide some part of themselves; this month is for you too.

You are loved and appreciated and seen, not just this month, but every month. Celebrate however you need to. Your community is big, and bright, and loud, and always waiting when you need. Take a deep breath, we’re halfway to where we need to be. You made it this far, keep holding on.

Everyone living in this house has had their monthly energy cleansing.

Linda and her orange spirit can only handle one crystal, too much rebelliousness in such a tiny body😭

[stressedtina]

I feel powerful knowin I’m Linda fav😏

[personalowl]

Actually, you're the second one... I think there's some sort of connection between ginger people and orange cats(?)

[dylan-easton]

Can confirm. Ginger people and orange cars share a soul as well as most of our brain cells

[antisocialworker]

Can confirm Dylan is a cat at heart

I am so sorry for the person I’ll become on June 12th. There will be a listening party live from the Pitt

[orbiter776]

before sending someone an anon, you should use your thinking CAPS

C - Can I say this in a nicer way?

A - Am I being respectful?

P - Personally, would I want this said to me?

S - Should I shut the fuck up?

[dylan-easton]

Bastard tried to bite me after this

[antisocialworker]

What Happened?

[drhoward]

Can we sloppily make out while you wear those glasses and tell me about the brain?

I admire your confidence, though you should know neuroscience isn’t exactly light conversation. You sure you can stay focused?

[bensononthebeat]

I got this exact same one.

[drhoward]

Glad I’m not alone in this. What did yours want to talk about? Journalism?

[bensononthebeat]

“Nerdy stuff.”

I explained the Watergate scandal in my reply.

[sweettooth4thepitt]

[bensononthebeat]

It’s my favorite political scandal!

[siennaoncall]

how does one decide a favorite political scandal?

[codenamesaintrob]

Just saying that the Pitt seems to be a whore house filled with a bunch of asshats

Calling a trauma center a “whore house” because attractive adults with proper emotional regulation flirt occasionally is an impressive way to admit nobody has ever willingly tolerated your presence for more than five minutes. These people spend their lives keeping others alive while you sit anonymously in an ask box frothing over personalities you’ll never have access to, let alone amount to.

If you’re ever unfortunate enough to need emergency care, I’d recommend Presby. You sound exhausting for the talented clinical staff in the ED.

Open rp!!

Anyone can interact! Please do so!! Especially if we haven’t before

A little bit of an add on from this rp but also can easily be a stand alone

It was getting to the point of the night where a lot of the kids that hang out in the park start to go to their group homes or shelters to sleep. Madi really didn’t want to go back to her group home so she just decided to hang out in whatever was open nearby. When late night takeaway shops started to close, the only thing on the street that was left open just happened to be the ED.

She wouldn’t check herself in, just sit in the waiting room until they kick her out or something. She keeps her hoodie on, hoping no one from the street team recognises her from the park. God forbid they think she actually voluntarily came here for help for her injuries. She would never. She doesn’t need help. It’s just a stupid sprained wrist. And she definitely doesn’t need a lecture from some social worker who thinks they know better.

No pressure tags, feel free to ignore

[antisocialworker]

Ben glances at chairs and does a triple take when he sees Madi. "Must be bad if shes here" , he thinks to himself. He walks into the waiting room and quietly approaches her "Hey, do you remember me?"

[madilynkaya]

“No” she mumbles, hoping that’ll get him to leave her alone but realistically she knows it won’t. She wraps her arms around herself, protective of her wrist, keeping her eyes to the floor

[antisocialworker]

“I’m Ben, I’m one of the social workers here.” “Something up with your wrist?”. Ben says as he desperately tries to keep Madi from leaving again. He knows that people are usually not very happy to see social workers, but it’s not like he can just ignore her.

[madilynkaya]

She shrugs “it’s an old injury, it’s fine” she reassures him, hoping that’ll get him to back off. She pulls her hoodie sleeve over her wrist, trying to hide her bruised and swollen arm, glancing up at him, hoping he didn’t see

[antisocialworker]

“Doesn’t look like one.” Ben says. “Would you like to come in? Lot more comfy back here”

[madilynkaya]

Madi shakes her head. She knows the deal. If she goes in she’ll probably have to talk to a social worker or a psych and someone will wanna check out her wrist and honestly she just doesn’t want help or a lecture right now

[antisocialworker]

“Then what would you like to do?” Ben had learned that giving prime control could sometimes help

[madilynkaya]

She shrugs, looking up at him “just wanted to get out of the cold” she admits softly

[antisocialworker]

“Wanna go sit up in my office?” Ben says, like he’s telling her she can have pizza for breakfast. “There’s a cat in there”

[madilynkaya]

“I don’t need your help” she says softly, making it clear she doesn’t wanna talk about her issues. She does kinda wanna see the cat though. She glances up at him

[antisocialworker]

“I’m not saying you do”. “But I can get you out of the cold.” Ben says, trying to be kind. “If you want me to leave you alone after that I will”

[madilynkaya]

She hesitates for a moment, looking him over “I don’t know” she admits softly, not sure if she trusts him enough to go with him just yet.

[antisocialworker]

“We don’t have to go right away, think it over” Ben says softly, trying his hardest to comfort her

[madilynkaya]

She looks around the waiting room. It’s noisy and cramped and overwhelming “ok… I’ll come…”

[antisocialworker]

“Alright, follow me”, Ben says as he leads Madi up a set of stairs

[madilynkaya]

She follows, holding herself protectively, looking around the hospital

[antisocialworker]

“It’s just on the third floor” “scary place huh?” He says trying to lighten the mood

[madilynkaya]

She nods softly in response, continuing to follow him up the stairs cautiously. She stuffs her hands in her hoodie pocket, trying to keep herself warm

[antisocialworker]

"this is it" ben says as he grabs a key out of his pocket.

[madilynkaya]

“Ok” Madi says softly, watching him unlock the door

[antisocialworker]

as Ben opens the door to dylans office, they see a messy space decorated with only the chaos ben's partner knows, and under the desk, a orange tabby cat. "There he is", ben says chuckling

[madilynkaya]

Madi smiles softly at the sight of the cat, waiting hot it to approach her, not wanting to overwhelm it. She’s still a bit tense, looking around the office

[antisocialworker]

“He’s a little shy” Ben says, trying to comfort Madi

[madilynkaya]

She gives Ben a small but nervous smile in response, crouching down and holding her hand out so the cat can sniff her

[antisocialworker]

"do you know anyone that works here?" ben asks, trying to get her to open up without prying. "im just curious what led you here"

[madilynkaya]

“Not really? I hang out at the park sometimes” she points toward the park down the road where the street team visits often

[antisocialworker]

"Ever seen the street team around?" ben asks, genuinely surprised "They're in the park pretty often"

[madilynkaya]

“Yeah sometimes… don’t really talk to them though” she admits, mostly focussed on trying to get the cat to come to her

[antisocialworker]

ben calls for the cat, since the colonel trusts him by now. "you dont have to talk to them, but they are good people." ben says, trying desperately not to seem like hes lecturing madi

[madilynkaya]

Madi shrugs “don’t really need their help” she says softly, trying to convince him she’s fine but probably failing.

[antisocialworker]

"You'd be surprised" ben says as the cat comes over to madi. "there he is" ben chuckles

[madilynkaya]

Madi smiles, petting the cat softly “hi there” she whispers to him

[antisocialworker]

"He's my partners" ben smiles "wanna know what they named him?"

[madilynkaya]

“What?” She smiles softly, still petting the cat as she looks up at Ben curiously

[antisocialworker]

"Colonel Meowstard" ben snickers, "like the Clue character"

[madilynkaya]

She smiles slightly wider “that’s the stupidest babe I’ve ever heard” she says lightheartedly

[antisocialworker]

“It is pretty stupid. But you’ve gotta admit, he’s pretty cute”

[madilynkaya]
