I've been quiet my entire life; that was what was expected of me. I'm very tired & very angry. I'm an AuDHD emergency medical professional who's pro-vaccine, pro-mutual aid, pro-Earth... My tone and RBF hurt big egos. The profile pic is Chaos, the cat.

Thank you! I also have a growing number of items waiting for a trip to the framer.

Question, as brain is not braining well: how would you suggest framing the print for optimal viewing? Mat (and if so, mat proportions)? Minimalist frame?

I thought I lived in less of an echo chamber, given my blue collar vocation and the perspectives I encounter at work. I was wrong.

I love it! Meditation, exercise, nature therapy... It will be good to return to when my body works properly again.

The first few years of people
🚩 trying to convince me to drink 🚩
were not enjoyable in the slightest. I had to significantly curtail my socializing, and it was lonely. Now I reply, "I don't drink; I stopped ten years ago." People seem to assume the worst, but they respect the "no", which is a win.

I gaslit myself into believing that the differing effectiveness of generic drugs was just a conspiracy theory. This is both validating and infuriating, because I don't remember what taking an "effective" ADHD medication feels like. I'll need to fill brand-name for comparison.

That said, I carry a handcuff key. Cops DO NOT fuck with me or my patients. Having RBF is a superpower, sometimes. And I've seen too much.

Re twist: we have those providers do ride alongs with us, so it felt like a reasonable level of embellishment.

I'm not personally familiar with West Coast EMS, but the operations were fairly similar to my experience working for a Major Private Contractor in an Important City. The call types, on the other hand, were extremely similar to my current civil service shifts, in a massive city.

That's a great interview. I use EMS 20/20 as a supplemental teaching tool for students, and it never disappoints.

Spouse had me watch it. I was pleasantly surprised. Even the most unbelievable parts were *so much closer to reality* than the public could comprehend. My brain is broken, so of course I immediately wanted to sign up for an extra shift.

This is an excellent box. Highly recommend! The only item remaining from mine is the original tamarind (not the same as in the current box), because seed pods slow down my snacking speed.

Trying to take an Rx computerized evaluation re: my neurodivergence, 4 days past the deadline, & I can't get my webcam to work because I hyperfocused on device access/security 2 years ago & got distracted midway by ND spouse panicking over a beeping smoke detector & now I don't know what I did. 🫠

Do you experience dry eye/mouth and slowing of gastric motility with increased antihistamine usage, and if so, how do you mitigate that? I'm already prone to dry eyes and a fussy GI system, and antihistamines seem to worsen that for me. I've yet to track which of them might be the biggest offenders.

Thank you for saying this! I feel like I'm shouting at clouds every time a patient tells me their *doctor* advised against taking diphenhydramine or any daily antihistamine due to "a study that showed risk of dementia". 🫠

I feel confident that OP does not actually do this but envisions themselves as a Thought Leader. (Or is a troll.)

Could we include size/age-appropriate, unexpired car seats as fully covered Rxs in our universal healthcare plan?

You keep bringing it up, thus my neurodivergence demands I talk about a family member who died of CJD. TLDR; it was diagnosable via a layperson's description of symptoms over the course of the disease, and it was horrible for everyone. πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž

KeEp aUsTiN wEiRd apparently means... Paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for an elementary school color scheme and font mixing letters with and without serifs.

Could've spent that money on improving healthcare options for impoverished residents.
