All sorts of random.

Had a patient who absolutely did not under any circumstances want to be disturbed. This is difficult to accommodate in a hospital but not impossible. However one suggestion the patient offered as to how we could manage this was that before we enter their room, we knock on the closed door and wait for a reply (this is fine). If we did not hear a reply, the patient continued, we should interpret this as the patient not wishing to interact and we should leave them alone. At this point I had to be like, listen, there is nothing I love more than respecting patient autonomy by doing fuck all with them all night, but my dude if i knock on a door and my patient who is attached to no monitoring devices doesn’t reply, I simply have to follow up. because this is a hospital. and you might be dead in there. that’s a really reasonable thing to think in these circumstances. And if you’re dead, they’re gonna fire me AND I’m gonna feel bad. Just tell me to go fuck myself if you don’t want me to come in. I’m so happy to wander off to fuck myself content in the knowledge that you are alive. Anyway I told the patient to just hit the call light periodically to order a drink or whatever and I could use that as my safety rounding. Then I left them almost entirely alone. I like to think they got a good night’s sleep, but I didn’t ask. I can tell you that they didn’t die, so I’m basically nurse of the year.

Let's hold up traffic with mama!

I have no soul and I must scream.

Ik it's kind of fashionable to call stuff like anime figurines 'pointless plastic trash' or whatever it is people say. but as far as use-cases for plastic, a decorative statue that does not experience heat and stress constantly is a pretty good place for plastic use! My Miku figs are plastic yes, but they aren't breaking down and shedding microplastics like a lot of other plastic items do just from being used!

wedding dresses are white specifically so that if the bride goes axe-crazy you can rest assured you will see the blood stains all over her and it'll be sick as fuck

The thing about a good character flaw is that it has to be the same thing as their greatest strength just turned up too high. the person who loves deeply and therefore controls. the person who sees everything and therefore trusts nothing. the person who is so loyal they lose themselves. there are no clean villains and no clean heroes and once you understand that in fiction you can't unsee it in people. everyone is just their best quality at the wrong volume.

There is no drug on earth that can replicate the absolute euphoria of hitting a writing flow state at 2:00 AM. You aren’t even typing anymore. You are a vessel. You are a channel for the gods. The characters are speaking directly into your brain and you’re just the stenographer trying to keep up. You feel like you could fight a bear. You feel like you invented the alphabet

dress up is one of the most important pillars of gameplay that is often ignored by game developers to disasterous results
