  • The thing about misandry is that like 80% of it is stuff men need to help each other with. They barely listen to women to begin with, they’re not going to suddenly start when women tell them it’s important to express their emotions and talk about their feelings (I’ve tried). Men need to build their own mental health movements by working on themselves using the research / evidence based practices that already exist then model healthy behavior for other men and grow that movement from there. Men’s mental health isn’t going to start with dumping more of their emotions on women because having a romantic relationship be the only way they’re comfortable with emotional intimacy was the problem to begin with. But redpill just wants women to fix it and blames them when they don’t.












  • Bruh you don’t even need a doctor to buy nicotine or caffeine. The indications for uppers vary depending on what you’re trying to achieve in what part of the body and how.

    For ADHD there’s various types of amphetamines and also some things aren’t actual stimulants but can act similarly like SNRIs. For just specific types of narcolepsy there’s modafinil. For obesity there’s phentermine. For unclogging your sinuses there’s pseudoephedrine, but that’s OTC in a lot of places. I was recently chatting to one of the pharmacy techs who says they apparently actually do stock cocaine. Apparently it’s in some kind of nasal jet device that she’s pretty sure is used to stop a severe nosebleed. They can also just put literal adrenaline or noradrenaline into you to various goals (usually cardiovascular).

    One of my coworkers came to psych out of the ICU and sometimes we’ll be looking at a blood pressure and I’m like ‘well you’re the ICU nurse what do we do with this’ and she’s like ‘fuck if I know I don’t have an IV for levo!’ Man fuck IVs actually she’s always on about the PICCs. She hardly even knows how to do a straight stick them ICU nurses are spoilt.




  • Honestly this is my take as a gnostic towards the Zionist Christians (like my parents). You mean you’re really gonna kick off the Apocalypse and drag Jesus down here like a toddler demanding attention from daddy? Like they’ve told me what’s going on in the middle east is just part of Jesus coming back. Even if we genuinely assume all of this is 100% true when interpreted 100% literally how in the actual fuck do you think Jesus is gonna be happy to have to be dragged down to save us TWICE.

    So. Fun educational fact about sleep hygiene!

    You’re supposed to wake up a tiny bit every 2 hours every night (4x if you’re getting 8hrs!). There’s various States of consciousness that are SUPPOSED to occur over a 2hr sleep cycle every time you sleep and one of them is a slightly lucid state where a healthy body shifts position to avoid pressure ulcers!

    So if you find yourself waking up at night just use the minimum an amount of consciousness you can to think about which position you’re in and pick one of the other flat positions in this picture to put yourself in. Then will yourself back to sleep as well as you can.

    Go forth and do yourself some sleepmaxxing!



  • A rare success story with a $25 online doctor was having them confirm my knee pain was from squatting wrong at work and how to correct my form and which exercises to do while idling. It helps that I had the background to google the muscle anatomy of the knee, pinpoint which muscle / ligament felt wrong, then google what usually causes that, see frequent squatting on the list, and immediately correlate that to the experience of being a nurse on a unit where none of the beds are motorized (on a proper medical unit the beds just raise the whole patient to working height. I have to get my whole self down to that level if a patient requires more intensive care, which is why we’re not supposed to get patients that need ADL assistance but I digress).
