sick kidsApparently our pediatrics unit isn't the only place getting overloaded, it's the whole hospital and every hospital in the health zone I'm in. We're only just now getting our big wave of peds patients on top of everything else. I dunno how many calls from desperate parents I've had to tell to either get in their pediatricians office, a walk in or if they think it's a true emergency to go to the ER. There's no secret back door to get your kid in to our unit, I know it's a long wait and they might send you home without much, there's literally no spac, for example, for your kid with 3 months of chronic diarrhea because there's 3 emergency appys, there's 4 kids on oxygen, two on airvo, one with epiglottis, three to be admitted from other rural emergencies including one who should've been sent to the big city but they're full too etc etc. We don't have room unless your kid absolutely needs 24/7 nursing care. It's so frustrating, I'm used to a higher standard of care for the community.

And it sounds like it's like this every unit in every hospital. And we're due for strike after February. Good luck

::: spoiler scared

Im kinda finding myself very scared about the day1 EO and what it symbolizes/forbodes. Ik i will probably be ok because of where i am located, but also libs will roll over for anyone and i wont put it past them to say we need to accept and uphold the EO in the name of unity.

Ig its time to bring a chamber pot with me everywhere i go, or a bigwall poop tube catgirl-peace

Day one has been terrifying, as I've told people, at least we know what to expect for the next year, this is what they want. If it sticks in the short term or not, they'll be pushing for everything to become law one way or another. It crushed me last night. The whole order about women's health centers is seriously concerning on so many levels.

Watching pre-Golden Age films really shows how much the Hays Code fucked with lgbt representation for the medium.

There was a lot more queer representation—although still heavily stereotyped—that got pushed back because the US government claimed it could be used for “evil”. And thus the queer villain became a new trope.

Not even American film, European film had much more examples of positive representation that wasn’t as heavily stereotyped. That also changed at some point.

It’s for this reason that I consider the early silent era to be the true Golden Age of Film. You had representation that we still haven’t seen to this day in some cases like an East Asian man being a sex symbol. The Golden Age is only considered the Golden Age because it’s when the major studios benefitted the most. They had more control over the industry and its actors than they ever would.

Yea there were improvements made during the Golden Age as well but I feel the silent era had many as well while also experimenting more than the largely safe content Hollywood churned out during the golden age.

Seems like none of my ID's will need to be renewed until after Trump's term is over. Hopefully I won't have to worry about whether the x gender marker exists then.

Thyme should be pronounced how it is spelled since time is already a word.
Do you agree?

So, if I want to get rid of my beard permanently, I would have to get laser right? I would ask if any here have had experience with Danish places, but we don't have many Danes nor are they online that much, I think? So any more general knowledge on it is appreciated!

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

If your facial hair isn't grey or very light blonde and you aren't very dark skinned, laser is the quickest first line treatment. If done right, you can permanently get rid of a 5 o' clock shadow in 10 - 15 sessions (this will take about a year and a half, as you should take a break during the summer months and you should space the later sessions out a bit to catch as many hairs in the growth cycle as possible). I still shave after 10 sessions of laser, but it's just to get my face smooth. I can go out unshaved for two days and without makeup, it takes a pretty big weight off my shoulders. If laser doesn't lead to noticeable blank patches within the first few sessions or if the hair turns lighter, tell your laser technician immediately, they will have to make adjustments to the settings. DO NOT FALL FOR IPL SCAMS. IPL isn't laser, it is almost never a permanent solution for facial hair (it can work on the shins, because hair roots there are closer to the surface). You might need a few touch-up sessions down the line because some hair can regrow, but it'll mostly work.

Needle epilation / electrolysis works if laser is not an option or as a follow-up to laser hair removal. Electrolysis is extremely time-consuming, we're talking several hundred sessions or more. Electrolysis goes after every single hair individually. The advantage is that you can remove all facial hair this way. If your aim is total removal and never having to shave again, electrolysis as a follow-up is a necessity, but it'll take a lot of time even if laser had good results.

I visited the beach my Grandpa used to visit. He was quieter than me. On the way, as I drove through the woods, I saw a cardinal.

I feel more kinship with the dead than the living right now. It's hard.

CW Suicide

spoiler___ i just cant handle being trans. I couldnt handle it when it was vaguely tolerated and now that ill probably be thrown into a camp if i transition its just an impossibility. I dont like my hobbies or friends and family very much. Id want to make a list of touristy fun things to do before a suicide in 2026/27 but I cant even think of anything I want to do. Maybe watch the movies in my blu ray collection once around? I just wish there was an anti depressant powerful enough to make me stop caring. I also hate it because I cant get a gun due to previous attempts and have to rely on hanging/household poisons and theyre pretty scary. Life just isnt worth it for me and it sucks because Im kind of privleged and just wish I could give this life to someone whod enjoy it.

Anyone else purposefully disable notifications on Youtube comments and then spend an hour trying to find your old comments to see how much frothingfash and maybe-later-honey outrage you instigated?

No one? Just me? fuck

My friend kind of disappeared on me. We started out by dating, and it was great for the most part. We did decide to just be friends after a while, but then we were actually friends and it was so nice. We lived near each other, and would get together at least like once a week for the last few months. It was usually pretty casual, like we'd get coffee or work out together or he'd come over for dinner. Sometimes we'd end up spending the whole weekend together tho. It was honestly so nice having a friend like across the street, it's been years since I've had that.

He has family living in a different state, and visited them over the holidays. The day he flew out, we got breakfast at some diner he likes and then I drove him to the airport. That was the last time I heard from him. I expected him to be busy with family and stuff, and I wasn't to surprised not to hear from him at first. I did ask him how the trip was going a couple of times. Anyway, know it's been a month and I haven't heard a thing. None of my friends who know him have heard anything either. He hasn't posted anything to social media in a while either. The trip was supposed to be over by now I thought.

I reached out to one of his friends, who I don't know as well. I think I fucked that up tho. Like I was way too direct in asking about him and I think I weirded her out. I should have been smarter, but I was just worried.

I mean he doesn't owe me anything, but it would be nice to have a little closure. Like I have no idea what happened. Did he not feel the same way about the just friends thing? Or did he just decide he didn't have time for me for other reasons? Or did he decide to stay with his family and not come back, which wouldn't surprise me that much honestly. Or is something wrong? I feel like I'm never gonna know and it sucks.
