Fuuuck I miss shower beers I gave my liver a 2.5 year break and now hubs wants to get sober for a bit too so it's gonna have to be an even longer break :(

my coworkers almost unanimously agree on waffle house

Oh yeah and she does NOT make it clear to him that what they're doing is sex (although I suppose you could interpret that as a cultural miscommunication). She's just like oh I didn't think you could get pregnant though I didn't think it was a big deal oopsie!

That show was just soooo horny all the way through.

I just remember being tested with the reading the mind in the eyes test but I actually score way above average in that one due to childhood trauma and growing up with someone whose mood I needed to be aware of hour-to-hour or sometimes even minute-to-minute.

I tell unfriendly cis people I'm female but I let them mistake me for male if it benefits me (my work is managing violent behaviors so some confused patients act better if they think I'm male).

I tell friendly cis people and especially children "kinda both kinda neither."

I tell lgbt people "what're you the Cops?" or "that's proprietary information and and I don't have a copy of the NDA form on me."

And my answer to the pronoun question is "what you call me when I'm not here is none of my business."

I guess if I had to pick one it'd probably be 'it' because I've always wanted to be the weird side character probably something like a janitor or something except you're not entirely sure I'm human and I show up once per book / season, easily fix exactly one (1) problem, then completely disappear again.

The euphemism treadmill is particularly annoying in psychiatry. People keep using useful diagnostic labels as mean names for people they don't like then in an attempt to be respectful of the people we serve we use a different diagnostic label but then everybody has to learn and start using the new diagnostic label and by the time it reaches saturation it's already an insult again.

yeah that was my vibe check

Functional, but we're going to have to turn one of these unhatched eggs into a new set of genitals eventually.

Right like are we saying "I don't argue with" or "I don't argue with"? Especially when followed up with "would've shot."

Had a discussion with a coworker recently who was worried about thrifting books for the book cart for the patients because she doesn't know what's in them including (I shit you not) the lords name in vain. I actually read all the books I buy (reading a paperback out on the unit at night is one of the safest possible downtime activities). The only book that I've found too objectionable in two years of thrifting books for patients was The King's Hounds by Martin Jensen because it was literally sooo Sean Connery's bond style rapey all the way through like I've put lowkey furry erotica on that cart but even I have standards.

That anyone is out there sex trafficking random middle class children and young adults when it's so much easier to just buy a toddler from a tweaker.

started writing tentacle porn again

Legit though I needed the creative outlet it turned out.
