Is this... is this a picture of Rihanna meeting Fall Out Boy

“‘I wanna sleep on every piece of fuzz/And stuffing that comes out of you" from “Hold Me Tight,” which lead vocalist Patrick Stump says is a “quintessential Pete lyric.’ “That one stood out to me as, like, ‘I don’t even know if I get it. I’m gonna sing that, though. It just feels like [Pete], and it feels like his way of saying things. You read that and you’re like, ‘I think he’s trying to be romantic?’ But there’s something really natural in that.”

Had a doc appt (just my yearly checkup) a couple days ago and I asked her about checking to see if my measles vaccine from when I was a kid was still good, since I’d heard it could lose effectiveness over time. She nodded and had a lab done and turned out I was NOT still immune to measles, so got my booster today.

“I have a question about a vaccine,” I say, and the look of ‘god fuckin dammnit not again’ that flashed across this poor doctor’s face, followed by abject relief when I said “I’ve heard that the measles vaccine can lose effectiveness over time and I’d like to make sure mine is still good.” says everything really. 

psa to everyone on antipsychotics during the summertime

Note: many anti-bipolar meds are also antipsychotics. I found a list of psychotropic meds that can increase risk of heat exhaustion here:

whilst i am always and forever just begging doctors to properly check interactions before they prescibe things (@ pharmacists: fuck everyone else i respect you i love you xoxo)

And if you lose the leaflet, or can't read the print, or whatever, DRUGS.COM

love drugs.com for that. only site that has the full full list of side effects (go to the 'for professionals' section) and their interaction checker is great as well bc it does also include supplements and recreational drugs in the database. i personally prefer the go.drugbank.com checker but only because i'm a supermassive nerd and gives you all the technical mechanisms behind the interaction. plus you can go full nerd and look at the complete pharmacology of anything. which is probably only parsable by, like, 5 people who follow me but it is really cool though

Cannot stress enough how important this is. I'm allergic to an antibiotic & was once given another medication that was not that medication but was contraindicated for ppl with that allergy. My allergy info is up to date with my pharmacy... but their computer missed that, or they didn't check. (My doctor DEFINITELY didn't.)
