I'm a gender neutral (they/them) doctor from Mexico. The characters I draw with my self insert are all OCs from an old comic of mine.

in general I find that "why did someone behave this way" is almost always answered by "behaving otherwise was too difficult and frightening for them at the time," and then you have to dig into why that is. people behave in ways that feel 1. easy for them (do not require much thought or effort) 2. accessible to them (patterns that have worked many times before) and 3. safe for them (apparently predictable outcome)

this is true even for behavior that is absolutely horrific and totally unacceptable. which can be a tough thing to accept, I think.

Same energy as that time in college I told a girl that “the tarot” says she needs to go call her mom and start going to therapy and she fucking did.

absolutely a granny weatherwax moment. “you need to move the outhouse because its presence is bothering the forest spirits and they’re cursing you” because trying to explain about bacteria from the outhouse contaminating the well wasn’t working.

Sometimes you gotta ask yourself ‘Do I want to be right or do I want results?’ and then act accordingly.

just got a call from the american psychiatric association. you old dogs, i said, picking up on the first ring. how many times i gotta tell you to lose this number. i don’t want you coming around here anymore. “listen, toots, we’ve been doing some thinking,” they says, and i says, guess there’s a first time for everything. “you’re a real funny dame, sugardoll. reviewing criticism, we’ve determined that the biggest issue with our previous diagnostic and statistic manuals of mental disorders is the anonymity of it all. we’ve been circling around a vague figure of the mentally well without defining the traits of a mentally well person. there’s no personality. what we need is a cute broad with a couple opinions to model the psychological norm.” so i’m saying back up and give it to me straight: i’m the new standard of sanity? can i get that in writing? and they say, “as the american psychiatric association we hereby state that you are the baseline and any deviations from your personality are deviations from the very concept of sanity, at least in the united states psychiatric system.” they’re making it public tomorrow. it’s a nice gig, if you really want to know. never thought they’d let a woman do it.

Learned something the other day that I think a lot of people don't know:

Cannabis grown and consumed in the 1960s contained about 1% THC.

Because of selective breeding and other farming practices, cannabis grown and consumed today contains about 30% THC (smoking a joint today is the equivalent of smoking 30 joints in 1965).

Cannabis was classified as a schedule 1 drug in 1970, making it extremely difficult to study.

Because of this, nearly all of the studies we have as to the safety and abuse potential of cannabis were done on use of 1% THC plant material.

We're seeing now that there are pretty significant cardiovascular risks to consuming cannabis- not just smoking it but consuming it in other ways (there are cannabinoid receptors in the heart and blood vessels, as well as many other places in the body).

We're also seeing things like cannabis hyperemesis syndrome, as well as tolerance, dependence and withdrawal- things that didn't tend to happen when doses of THC were much lower.

All this to say: be careful about how much you consume. There are products that contain hundreds of milligrams of THC per package (the general recommended recreational dose being somewhere less than 10mg) and it is easy to build up a tolerance that will have you consuming a lot more than is safe.

i've been reading about like. hospitals conducting simulations to test the staff's preparedness in certain situations, such as someone trying to steal a baby, or someone coming to relinquish a baby under Safe Haven laws

good lord there's a lot of vasectomy joke gifts that don't know the difference between a vasectomy and an orchiectomy.

orchi is removing of one or both testicles. a vasectomy cuts or seals the vas deferens so there's no sperm in your semen. You still have testicles, you still have testosterone, there's just no sperm in your ejaculate to make babbies with.

they're very different operations!

[mirahimage]

You might say, there's a vas deferens between the two
