ER-RN, 68wtf, optimistic nihilist, probably a muppet.
This was the unofficial anthem of our ER.

Anytime shit went south in a big way, our Chief would cue this up and things were a little less terrible for a bit.

I'll never not be able to think of my brothers and sisters in trauma when I hear this song, and I'm actually grateful for that.

the only time i ever gave back to my community (cinephile dorks whose parents claim they can't see it but we suspect are messing with us a little)

Shaved my head for the first time in years. Love how it feels, but every time I look in the mirror i see my old First Sergeant

One of my eternal back-burner projects that I get REALLY excited about and then never do anything with is cataloging my library, including to whom I have lent books.

One of these days, I swear!

I wish I could heal the shattered hearts of my friends who have recently lost parents, whether close or complicated.

I've been in this hole more often than anyone should, but I haven't yet found the way out.

All I can offer is comfort and empathy.

I've reached an age where my closest and dearest are starting to lose their parents, and I'm having a _MOMENT_ right now.

I went through this decades ago with both of mine, and I desperately wish I could spare my loved ones the pain of this transition.

I have no wisdom to share, only empathy.

Look at this fucking guy. Look at how much he loves this kid.

I wish i’d known. I wish he’d known I would.

22 years. Miss you, old man.

This is the exact way I feel about people who don't respect the Great Lakes. "Oh it's just a lake, it's not an ocean" buddy, these lakes will murder you specifically and no one will ever find your boat.
People are so fascinatingly stupid about Mt. Washington.

“Oh, it’s not that tall,” they say, little knowing it is haunted by Weather Demons
I’m sorry but what were over 20 people thinking:

I have historically been simultaneously terrified I wouldn't live long enough to see the future or that I would live long enough that I would see the end of the world.

I'm at the crux of this now.

A little bit of magic for a specific kind of nerd.

Incredibly happy to have been able to give them my patronage while they were here, and I'll forever tell stories of how amazing it was to visit.

Here we are a year later, having indeed spun the bullshit I endured at my old job, my old home, my old dear abusive ex into a fantastic job.

A job so much better than any I've had so far that I can't let myself trust it.

Someday I'll let myself trust.

Please allow me to present the single most haunting thing I've seen online in many many years.

I read this when it was newly posted and it has never once left my mind.

I hope someday to be able to live my life with the confidence of a Chicagoan who thinks it’s the law to honk in alleys.

Picked up a little rear-view mirror for my desk at work.

Drastically reduces the anxiety of having my back facing the rest of the office.

Wish I’d thought of this years ago.

First day at new job was good, really good. Like, too good?

I feel like we were all seriously lovebombed our first day, but I'm not sure how much of that is because I'm a basically a beaten spouse from healthcare

A pile of years ago, someone closer to me than I deserved told me I needed therapy.

After 2 years of nearly weekly sessions, I can say they were 100% on the money.

I hope someday they know.

I also had drill this weekend & got home late

Only open spot was on the other side of the fest from my place

I was tired & just walked through the fest

Following A THING, I have been seriously considering texting a prior coworker who was crushing on me, who is basically an entire nautical flag line of red flags

i have not yet done so, for reasons

but also....?
