Little bits of Heaven

A catalog of the little things that happen to make life good.

I was a little “ho-hum” about getting a pharmacy coloring book for Christmas, but I’ve changed my mind. I love it.

Shout out to everyone struggling through grief and/or depression this season. Just do what you need to get yourself through, okay? I want to see you back here next week.   °˖✧*•  Shop, Patreon, Books, Mailing List *•. ✧˖°`

[colemckenzies]

you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it

example: you absolute coat hanger

[ggiornojo]

as well u can just add ‘ed’ to any object and it’s sounds like you were really drunk

example: i was absolutely coat hangered last night

[colemckenzies]

#i was gazeboed mate #i was absolutely baubled

[animatedamerican]

Meanwhile, “utter” works for the first (e.g., “you utter floorboard”) but somehow “utterly” doesn’t seem to work as well for the second (“I was utterly floorboarded”).

[nentuaby]

Utterly doesn’t work for drunk because it’s the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.

[animatedamerican]

… huh.  I thought that might just be the similarity to “floored”, and yet “I was utterly coat hangered” does seem to convey something similar.

I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.

[thepioden]

Completely makes the phrase mean “super tired”.

“God, it’s been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.”

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Something is

Something is wrong with our language

[rooksandravens]

Is it a glitch or a feature?

[cranberrybogmummy]

Feature

[s-peak-in-tongue-s]

this neat feature is called collocative substitution, and it occurs when certain words are strongly linked to certain context and/or phrases. when you read/hear a pair of words that usually wouldn’t go together, your brain fills in the context with what would normally be inferred, given the originally phrased pairing. thus, finding out that there’s a term for this phenomenon may indeed leave you utterly sandwiched. lesser known or less strongly linked phrases and pairings may not be able to translate substituted words to appropriately fit the inferred context, so you were not utterly floorboarded at the club last night, but rather you were absolutely floorboarded, and as this explanation continues to drag on, you may by the end of it find yourself completely coathangered from read it all.

[lizawithazed]

I, like all linguists I have met or even heard of, have a deep intricate love-hate relationship with the English Language because of complete and total coathangering like this

[stargazing-enby]

Hey I was just studying this last week! It’s also a thing in Spanish 😂

help I’m having emotions about a cartoon antidepressant trying to be useful

[1-800-ass-butt-blog]

DID YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY GIF AN ABILIFY COMMERCIAL 

[kdaziz]

yes but look at it, it cares about her and just wants to help her be able to function. It’s like “I know you’re sad. here, I’ll help you.”

[mcgonagirl]

LIKE OKAY THOUGH can I explain why this is exceedingly brilliant??  Because when anti-depressants work right, that’s what they DO.  They don’t make you happy or emotionless or unhealthy in any way, they make you FUNCTIONAL.  They make it so that a depressed person who can barely get out of bed can start to support themselves again and more importantly, start to THINK for themselves again without the permeating presence of depression.

Depression is a cyclical disease, that tells you to think a certain way, and, because you’re depressed, you generally believe it, and then things get worse and worse.  The ONLY thing anti-depressants do is to STOP that cycle in its tracks!!  Which is something to be ecstatic about and celebrated, even if you don’t realize it at the time, because when you’re depressed, getting out of bed is climbing Mount Everest.  Antidepressants help stop that cycle so that one day soon, getting out of bed can JUST be getting out of bed.  They don’t even expedite the recovery process in most cases, they just make recovery POSSIBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE.  So this little guy is portrayed with a fuckton more accuracy than I ever expected from a commercial.

Educational fox lesson 🦊

[hxhomo]

hm so psa bc i didn’t know this, it’s not common knowledge, and flu season is around:

apparently you aren’t supposed to take dextromethorphan (a common cough suppressant. it’s in stuff like cough syrup, mucinex dm, tylenol severe cold) with sertraline (aka zoloft, the antidepressant) bc it has the risk of causing Serotonin Syndrome, which is not as fun as the name suggests. i’m not a doctor but like, avoid drug interactions bc they can be serious.

remember to read labels guys aaa

[ursulaklegun-deactivated2024122]

Not just sertraline, any SSRI or SNRI. Serotonin syndrome can kill you. When I was younger and on a lot of medication, a dose of cough medicine landed me in the ER. Always check potential interactions here before taking anything with antidepressants, even if it’s over-the-counter.

[dxmedstudent]

If you are taking any meds (even birth control) talk to your pharmacist or check a trusted source to make sure it’s safe to take over the counter medication.

Arctic fox at a glacial river

[glumshoe]

the difference between a hairy woodpecker and a downy woodpecker is that the hairy woodpecker looks like the original character and the downy woodpecker looks like the softened cutesy fanart, and that’s my opinion as a naturalist

I took care of one of us last night.

Who felt that they couldn’t take it anymore.

Who felt that they couldn’t come back from the mistakes they made.

Who felt like they were all alone.

Who felt too much.

Or, worse, felt nothing at all.

.

Whose self inflicted injury was “obviously catastrophic”.

“Obviously insurmountable.”

“Obviously unsurvivable.”

All quotes from the neuro and trauma surgeons.

Although anyone with eyes knew the inevitable outcome.

Whose heart and lungs we nevertheless kept moving until the family could see our heroic efforts.

.

.

.

Please. Please.

.

There are people in your life that will wail at your bedside.

There are people you’ve never met who will squeeze your hand and apologize to you that you got to this point.

Apologize for telling you this too late.

That you felt this was your only option.

Because on a small level I’ve understood you but I found my help and I’m fortunate that it works.

This is for anyone. In the medical profession or not.

I’m here.

Talk to me.

Rant to me.

Because I pronounced one of us last night nurblr and medblr and I have never felt such a loss.

[nothingbutnetters]

This came up on my feed again and I felt the need to share.

Residency is dark but please please please reach out to those around you.

Give your coworkers some extra love this winter. You never know what the people around you are struggling with.
