The worst-sounding piece of advice I've ever been given that does actually work is to frame your health concerns as coming from someone close to you, whom you do not believe. Tell your doctor that you've been having pain and your mom/friend/partner thinks it might be an ovarian cyst, but you don't think so because the pain is much more intense and it has to be something else. This gives your doctor an unseen third party to fight instead of you. They can't just tell this third party, who isn't present, that you pulled a muscle, they now need to prove to this third party that it is not an ovarian cyst.

At which point they will find an ovarian cyst, but they now get whatever fucked up satisfaction they derive out of proving you wrong, because you didn't believe it could a cyst at all, but guess what? They did find a cyst! It's such a good thing you didn't listen to your intuition and came to them to verify your lay diagnosis from that third party! Bonus? Doctor doesn't have to feel like they look stupid in front of a patient, which is really what all this is about. Not your health, why would you think your medical diagnosis is about your health? It's obviously about a doctor's potential ego.

And apparently this works. Apparently you just need to be able to always play 4D chess with your medical professionals in order to find an avenue of advocating for yourself and getting you medical needs met. Isn't that great?

I hate it here, actually.

If you have multiple specialists or move around a lot, you can also say 'one of my doctors mentioned X to me but I can't remember who and I never had it investigated'. Doctors love to one-up each other. Worst case you get dismissed and don't have to lie next time you pull this on a different doctor and best case they do investigate.

people with adhd, psychosis, brain fog, schizophrenia or anything that affects memory, recall and perception of reality are so at risk of gaslighting. even when you’re pretty sure you did/didn’t do a thing, if someone suggests that it didn’t actually happen that way or you’re skewing the facts or you’re just misremembering of whatever, you start to question yourself and your own memories and that is very easy to take advantage of. and it’s so incredibly difficult to get anyone to believe you or take you seriously because not even you are 100% sure you’re recalling things correctly. it sucks so bad not being able to rely on your own memory and to have to worry about people using it against you (because they can and will)

Archer fish in action at the National Aquarium in Baltimore! Such a cool species of fish!

You can probably guess how they got the name archer fish - by spitting water with pinpoint accuracy at bugs on branches and leaves above the water, knocking them in for a meal. So cool!!!

[ghostofthemountain21]

AHHHH! Archer fish are my favorite :D I remember reading about them in a book as a kid and the first time I ever saw them in real life at an aquarium! I freaked! I was so excited :D

[zoofitness]

Right?? They’re the best! It was even more awesome cause I was JUST telling my nephew and my sister about them shooting water at bugs and we got to see it there! Such a cool experience!

[why-animals-do-the-thing]

This is such a cool species to do a demo with! I don’t think I’ve seen any other facilities purposefully use that behavior for education.

ignoring everything the pandemic response specialists were saying was good for the economy tho. State governors and federal agencies with no medical experience and no economics education told us so

After 10 months of dedication, I finally finished! I confess I was hesitant to post it, since I'm not a professional, but I feel I achieved a good result. by TheresaZoe

[sweaterkittensahoy]

If I may, as someone who crochets more than, I'm pretty sure, pretty much anyone else:

Fuck being a pro. This is artistry, and it is magnificent. The colors! The crisp color change edges! The bobble stitch as accent (I would not have survived)!

For those who may not know, I am pretty sure this is a combination of motifs and standard crochet work. So, this person made motifs, stitched them together, then worked around them until the next set of motifs got placed. Then worked around THOSE until it was time to add the third set, and then did a lace border around the whole thing!

This is so much careful work to come out this perfectly! And even if it'd come out slightly askew, it'd still be fucking amazing.

i hate how much ai has taken the joy out of seeing something cool. you used to see something cool, like a really intricate drawing or a video of someone doing an insane skill or two animals doing something cute, and because there were no mental gymnastics involved in discerning whether or not it was 'real' you could sit there and have the joy of like, "wow! how did they do that! how cool is it that they made that! what a wonderful moment to have captured!" and now every time i see something remarkable i hate that i have to sit there and be like okay let me go frame by frame to make sure everything lines up. let me double check the page this comes from. let me scroll through the comments to make sure no one called out something i missed. like i want the joy of being able to trust someone else's creation back, please
