carving a pumpkin into an affordable three bedroom house and then crawling inside to live there

society’s answer to an increase in ADHD diagnoses shouldn’t be “oh my god, everyone has ADHD now”. it should be “oh my god, how did we manage to let so many people down?”.

Toddler has #RSV and absolutely detests the inhaler she’s been prescribed so we’ve all been taking turns “playing” it like a musical instrument. But somehow every time we end up playing the cantina song from Star Wars? So now she hates the inhaler *and* also Star Wars.

Can we stop saying "democracy is on the line" as if what we have - or have ever had - is actual democracy? P.S. yes I voted anyway

Hey #medtwitter / #nursetwitter, does anyone want to give me some reassuring anecdata about #COVID in #pregnancy? I reassure my patients all the time but now that it’s me, 19 wks pregnant and positive for COVID (for the first time!), I’m having a hard time turning off my worry.

Who hurt you, MyHeritage?

Fed up w/ these tweets ridiculing workers/families/parents for going to work sick or sending their kids to school sick. I’m willing to bet that the majority of those people you’re judging didn’t have sick days or childcare. Our society doesn’t give a shit about working families.

Garbage plates and white hot dogs.

make this next year the year of being unhinged. wear your finest ball gown to the DMV. yell things at birds. you’ve made it this far. you’re free

all I want for Christmas is two functioning nostrils

A patient asked me yesterday if they could request me as their “permanent nurse.” I’ve only been an RN for about four years, but maybe I’m not terrible at it?

I had a genuine lol today remembering my much-younger self saying "I decided not to pursue acting because I'm not thick skinned enough" …and then I turned around and decided to work in healthcare

Damn I’d kind of hoped I’d blacked out and ordered a lil Starbucks treat

Hey @asklyft, how do you justify charging a rider $150 for a damage fee - when there was no incident during my ride - and offering zero explanation during multiple attempts for further information?

Fun facts I have learned in the last 24 hrs: 1. There's a brand new #COVID strain out there! Even recent infections may not provide great protection! 2. Insurance won't cover #Paxlovid if you've taken it within the last couple of months! 3. Without insurance, Paxlovid is $2,000!
