Follow along at your own risk, Side effects vary. Occasionally there's health and fitness posts, anatomy related art, or personal posts from things I enjoy.

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

You get bigger so you can store even MORE love and appreciation for the world inside of you

It means you'll be at the antique mall looking at a coffee table and thinking "blorbo and Squimbus would LOVE this coffee table"

a conversation i had with a 96-year-old woman

[misfireish]

96 yr old: You know how your parents probably say things like, “you were BORN with the internet, you don’t know what it’s like to live without!”

Me: yeah

96 yr old: Well, my parents said that to me about electricity.

I once made the mistake of asking a 96yo lady what she liked to watch on tv as a kid and she got a good laugh out of that before saying loudly, “I REMEMBER WHEN RADIO WAS INVENTED.”

Today I got excited about reading a medical journal in the mail that mentioned a peer review about pacifiers on the cover and my WIFE turns to me and says "Do you ever think about if past you would bully you today?"

Today an elderly patient's daughter asked if I could guarantee that the blood I might need to give to the patient (in case the patient is actively bleeding out during the surgery, which had a pretty high chance of happening) is from a donor who hadn't been vaccinated against COVID.

Not gonna lie, I needed a moment to recover from that

There's been hesitation prior to patients getting bone marrow transplants that didn't exist before.

Typically you get all your childhood vaccines given to you again with new bone marrow.

When patients decline (still a tiny minority), some services then have to say well, we can't offer this too you, because the risk of dying is high and the resource is so finite. But it's the reality now.

Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.

The mausoleum of Léonce Evrard and his wife, Louise Flignot, stands as a deeply symbolic tribute in the Cimetière de Laeken in Brussels. Léonce, a skilled marble worker, was devastated by Louise’s loss and, in 1920, dedicated this unique chapel to her memory. Designed by architect George De Larabrie, the structure includes a striking sculpture of a mourner reaching toward a blank wall, capturing the profound themes of love and grief.
