I love genuine questions and people putting in the effort to love and understand each other better. If you come at me just wanting to argue I’m going to troll you back. FAFO.

    This reminds me of a book I read recently. I get like 30 $1 paperbacks at the library used book sale every spring / fall. When I’m done reading them they go on the unit book cart for the patients unless theyre wildly objectionable (and it takes a lot for me, I recently put out some only mildly tasteful furry badger shapeshifter smut).

    Anyway this year I got something called “the king’s hounds” where the back summary sounded lit but it turned out to be super rapey (like Sean Connery bond just keep doing it until they shut up rapey). And it’s been sitting on my coffee table collecting dust since I finished it because it feels wrong to just throw it away but I’m definitely not giving it to my patients (who like, ALL have rape PTSD for some reason). I probably will wind up throwing it out but. Fuck. It just feels wrong to destroy a book for some reason even though that’s probably the only thing to do.

    I feel like the answer is to have all competitions be centralized on special competition computers. You physically travel to a centralized convention or whatever and have to use equipment set up just for the competition that’s been checked for mechanical and software fairness the same as the ball etc get tested for a professional sports game. You can practice at home with whatever software you want but if you want to be properly competitive you’re going to want to practice on an uncracked game (or even cracked against you).

    And oh sweet Jesus is a severe mental health episode during pregnancy an absolute bitch to manage even inpatient. You take the stress of rapidly discontinuing a long term med then throw in pregnancy hormones and shit gets completely out of hand so fucking fast.

    THEN I can’t even give a gotdamn antihistamine for anxiety let alone a benzo! Keep her at home on her perfectly fine and normal Prozac! idw no peripartum anything up in my face. Give me the normal crazy I actually have meds for jfc. I’m on like five different actual hard hitters myself like the ones you ACTUALLY can’t take during pregnancy (one of the reasons I’m forgoing pregnancy entirely).

    If it’s a choice between keeping them stable on an SSRI vs the risk of peripartum crisis I pick the SSRI any day. If anybody is this worried about SSRIs they need to look more into better women’s health overall so they’re less likely to need the SSRIs to begin with. Offer a better support BEFORE ripping out the currently functioning one.

    yeah I have to inventory peoples things for work and some things you just KNOW. Like a guy in a coma in the ICU needed all his jewelry removed before an MRI and when we saw it was a pet tag we were eeeextra careful to make sure that did NOT get lost. hospital can pay if we lose something fancy but there’s 0 way to replace a dead pets tag. one person came in with some kinda weird knotted rag and I was like hm I’m not gonna wash this with the other clothes because it doesn’t look like it would survive but if it was trash they wouldn’t keep trying to repair it so I found a good pocket of the bag to put it back in. found out later in the shift when the parents came by; baby blanket. A lot of items just have an aura even if you can’t pinpoint why right away.
