missed seeing the alert and got absolutely sandblasted while walking the dogs
what is the OPPOSITE of cast iron skillets? desired qualities: - lightweight - dishwasher safe - no teflon heavy pans hurt my flimsy connective tissue (especially when washing them). and thermal mass means you’re fucked if things start to scorch, it’s to late to turn down the heat.
i despise how this shit is taking over every online checkout. i bought your fucking product, that should be enough profit for you. it’s RUDE to try to squeeze out a few extra cents in ad revenue at the end of the transaction.
the future is here and it is picking images for news alerts
i hate standup meetings. the entire way my team works is just so stressful for me. my most productive days are when i fucking call in sick (intermittent FML leave for anxiety) and then just log on anyways and work on things without feeling *watched*
ok, i decided my test for the mormon psychiatrist should be “would you write a letter of support for a patient’s medical transition?” he passed, so we’ll give this a try. should be an interesting time.
@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jul NPR In major retreat, Trump abandons his most aggressive attempt to nationally end youth gender-affirming care by withholding Medicare/Medicaid funding to hospitals and providers. Since Dec. announcement over 30k ppl commented on HHS site on proposed change.

i think he was not so much alarmed about Trans People Generally, mostly shocked by the idea that someone would feel threatened by his religion. and maybe also startled to be asked about it so directly when he wasn’t trying to give off any religious signals.
i don’t think i helped his confidence. “i noticed you got your undergraduate degree from BYU—how do you feel about trans people?”

a brand new baby psychiatrist he sounds afraid, lol.
To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.
ok, I ’m kinda impressed got a call from my new doctor within 24 hours, appointment is scheduled for monday morning
teaching hospital turnover sucks i need to up my antidepressant dose, but it’s july, which means the psychiatry clinic interregnum period has begun and and i don’t really have a doctor 🙃
guess who stole the absorbent pad from a pack of meat out of the trash and ATE IT? (it’s ok, the emergency vet made him puke it up)
i used to hand-sketch my own paper maps after checking mapquest on the desktop (just with some key cross streets, not too much detail) i sometimes still do for bigger trips, i like understanding the route beforehand instead of just trusting the gps.
Can’t lie, the fact that y’all were driving with PAPER maps is insane. Even worse, you had to ask random strangers for directions??

“smart” home regrets: i can’t turn off the lights because the internet is down. (ok, i technically could, it’s just very hard to reach some of the switches)
whyyyyy is it so hard to breathe this is both my hardest-to-ignore (air hunger and constant yawning) AND hardest-to-troubleshoot health nuisance
til you can get adjustable nose pads added to plastic-framed glasses! makes them much more wearable for me, otherwise they slide too far down my nose.
Just discovered that tortilla chips can go RANCID. Found some store-brand Doritos in the back of the cabinet and figured they might be a little stale but fine. Nope. They smell horrible 🤢.
one reason people are so resistant and angry to taxes here is that they often DO feel like a punishment. because you have to go through this whole stressful process to find out what you owe etc. every bit of friction added to the process makes people angrier and less willing to find the government
