The Artsiest Trill. WHATS UP DAX.

Apparently a little extra weight helps stave off dementia!

Sartorially I've circled back to my 15 year old self - Converse, cutoffs, teeshirts. I still listen to pretty decent rock music, I'm still single, I still think drinking wine is super cool... WELP so much for personal growth.

My 15 year old self would probably feel right at home, what with the early 90s style clothes (and records!) in the stores, a Clinton running for prez, a new Anne Rice vampire book and The Cure still around. Oh damn, it IS 1992, isn’t?

Her?

Why is that? It is so noticeable. They must be very porous for the moisture thing. I noticed it when the currency was still on the counter first time i saw American money. They smell hits you before. So weird. A bit like old sick in hair.

Your money also smells deeply weird and kinda moldy. I assume it is because tis made from paper. Other countries use textile or plastic.

This is precisely why I voted for Wilma Mankiller! She’s not super well known outside Native circles or those who follow Native issues, but if we’re replacing well-documented Indian Killer Andrew Jackson, who better than Wilma Mankiller??

It’s pretty dismissive to call Eleanor Roosevelt a “president’s wife” and to imply that she didn’t fight for social justice. Yes, she was much more privileged than any of the other candidates, but it’s not like her legacy consists of planting flowers by highways, c’mon.

I have a hard time deciding between Parks and Tubman, they’re my top two, but Truth was in my top 3. Although Parks was just as much of a conscious activist as Tubman I HATE the way Parks is portrayed as just some tired old woman, ignoring her decades of social justice organizing fundraising for the Scottsboro Boys,…

There’s a great podcast called 99% Invisible that discusses design, and they have a fantastic episode about how shitty American paper money is. I highly recommend it. Because, seriously, our money is fug.

Hell, I bet they don’t even card people hwo buy the jumbo OTC bottles of Tylenol at the pharmacy, and one of those contains enough shit to kill a bunch of people, or ruin the lives of a whole bunch more.

Starred because pharmacists get a hella bad rap for not having an MD after their name, so obviously they’re “beneath” MDs or know less or whatever. It’s not uncommon for a prescriber to write an Rx that will severely interact with another of the patient’s medications (which I’ve seen done, and we always contact the…

You’re thinking of intact dilation and extraction or IDX. D&C involves dilating the cervix and scraping the walls of the uterine cavity to remove any tissue that may be sticking there. It’s often done to treat abnormal bleeding. It may be needed after a miscarriage if the uterus doesn’t expel all of the products of…

Welcome to Georgia! We are all about making sure our own beliefs trump your needs!

Well, there are times it’s appropriate. A pharmacist is your last line of defense against potentially dangerous drug interactions, for instance.

Really? So they routinely scrutinize **all* scripts written for off-label use, in the name of patient safety?

I do admit that. I can sometimes catch the “Canadian” in people’s voices, once I started listening for it - mainly because I too wondered about the whole “aboot” thing. It’s definitely stronger the further you radiate away from Toronto. The Ottawa Valley is incredibly distinct from neighbouring areas:

Yeah, Ontario's a weird accent paradise, and every latitude seems to have its own particular flavour of "down home rural." A co-worker from Toronto ("Tarana!") told me recently that I have "a stereotypical Ottawa accent." On the one hand, I was super surprised he was able to differentiate, and on the other just…

I saw a comment on here recently about how he seems fake cause he’s Canadian and he talks with a New York accent. He’s from close to toronto which is pretty geographically close to New York, like I grew up with a lot of guys in that area that sounded exactly the same. It’s just weird to me that so many Americans seem…
