There was this one time I scratched up my cornea real bad and had to go to the hospital. Dealing with medical bureaucracy is always very frustrating to me, and that combined with the pain had me in a very bad mood. I was even crying.

I had to wait quite a while for the doctor to see me, but fortunately the nurse who was helping me had an excellent bedside manner and went out of her way to distract me. She expertly did this by getting me talking about books I'd read recently.

I went all in on criticizing the last book I'd read. I don't remember what it was, but I really hadn't liked it, and I denigrated it as "Misery Porn". And she was like "Hmm, that sounds interesting, tell me more". So I gave a general plot synopsis. As I was telling her that most of the characters were immigrant miners, she interrupted me to say "That's interesting, I didn't realize that there were mines in Missouri".

And at that moment time stopped for me and I realized that the entire time I'd been talking about the book, she'd been assuming I was talking about porn set in Missouri. I had just assumed that she had understood from context that when I said "Misery Porn", I meant "A story that is gratuitously depressing so that readers will think it's deeper than it really is".

Rather than being disappointed in our miscommunication, I was instead impressed with the level on non judgement she was showing me. Having a whole ass cheerful conversation about Missouri themed porn just to help a patient. I think about her all the time.

There have now been many responses to this post, but they all boil down to just 3 categories.

Nerds (affectionate): Actually, Missouri has many lead mines.

Health care professionals: This is just what working with patients is like.

Missourians: Missouri mentioned!

For anyone wondering what Wild Rabbit could be writing about if not minotaur smut.

gun to my head, you show me the cover and tell me to guess the plot, I a) would never have come up with something as painfully non-horny as above and b) no actually i'm still stuck on point a.

"do it scared" this "do it tired" that. well no one ever talks about the fucking insurmountable "do it with greasy hair"

again i must say. crucial that hayden pike is mormon and shane just straight up has never noticed. like it’s really funny for the shane and hayden duo. the rest of the metros are getting kicked out of strip clubs and then both shane and hayden go to bed at 8pm and agree that coffee is a sin. and shane just thinks hayden is the only other smart person on the team. they’re having conversations where hayden is like “it pollutes your spirit” and shane is like “exactlyyyyy”

Any other desert / see results

The list is just Wikipedia's List of Deserts by Area. Hopefully that covers the most likely candidates.

This was prompted by a book I'm reading about the Sahara, which suggested it's what Europeans think of if they think of a desert. Do tag where you're from and which desert you thought of.

me: sweating profusely, drinking my fourth cup of coffee, room is 77F because the options are 65F (no space heater) or 75-80F (yes space heater) and the newborn won’t sleep in the former, no matter how toasty her PJs

“MOTHERHOOD RULES” *eyetwitch*

I had a second baby. She’s 7 weeks old, her name is Lucia, and she is extremely cute. Emilia is an excellent big sister. We are very very happy, and very very tired. And hot.

i’m sure they never bring it up, it would add nothing to the plot, but if ilya’s playing for boston that means he has absolutely been forced to do a dunkin’ donuts commercial and that’s just so important to me

heated rivalry is amazing because it has all the appeal of something that’s good AND all the appeal of something that sucks. i didn’t think “good adaptation of maddeningly bad source material” was a thing that could exist but here we are.

fresh, clean no-terf version for reblogs!

Your mom and aunts aren’t on tumblr.  Please warn them about this as well. 

[jenniferrpovey]

Thank you! I’ve been looking for the TERF-free version of this.

[gentlyepigrams]

Hey! I’m the age of some of your moms and aunts and the OG version of this post helped me catch my cancer in 2023. I had a hysterectomy at the beginning of 2024 and I’ve been cancer-free since then. If I hadn’t read this information, I wouldn’t have reported bleeding to the next doctor I saw. I might have died, and I probably would have had to undergo chemo and/or radiation, both of which I avoided.

Keep the reblogs going to save a life!
