🧵 New post: "How MAHA Fucked Up My Surgery"

I was catheterized by 2 new graduate nurses (one of whom had never done the procedure on a patient before), using incorrect technique, without adequate pain control, after a delay that doubled my volume past the hospital's own intervention threshold

Update #2: Quicksilver, a detector for AI-generated music.

Sometimes I think embodiment was a mistake

At my first job at a cheese store when I was 16 Tim Curry walked in.

I legit didn’t know how I knew him, maybe a friend of the family? So I went “Do I know you from somewhere?”

and in the most Tim Curry way he put me in my place

“You know me from many things.” He didn’t say another word to me lol

Fun and easy!

I want the complete Chronicles of Amber for my bookshelf, which long ago I had but gave away because they were mismatched. Now I'm in a pickle b/c it seems like the only way to get them is in one giant volume, which feels, idk, cumbersome. Or I could try to collect them all individually used. Idk.

Might be time for me to finally play this game lol

My friend is still a ways from meeting his goal and they're going to take his house in a few weeks if he doesn't make this. Any help you can give is appreciated.

Two characters hug, holding pride flags. A speech bubble reads, "No cops at Pride!" Another bubble says, "Yay happy pride!" Below, one character points, saying, "That means you too, Odo," towards a departing figure. The tone is playful and supportive.
