As a longtime hater of acetaminophen, I'm annoyed to have new allies who are exactly wrong about the problems with the drug. I don't even want to complain about ineffectiveness anymore, let alone liver toxicity! 😒

I don't even know how I would cw this without ruining the effect, so just be aware that this anecdote does not go where you think it might, and it might go somewhere shocking/upsetting to you. That said, I almost popped a lung laughing. #TwistEnding #RelatableAnecdote #ProtectYourselfBetter

I didn't get a good picture of her for #caturday , but The Lady Catherine is very happy to get her spot on the game room sofa back. She does not like it when I stop petting her, though. #CatsOfMastodon #Catstodon #TheLadyCatherine #CatherineLadyDarlington #LadyCatherineOfDarlington

I don't know if these oral steroids are doing anything for my vertigo - maybe? - but at least I'm constantly nauseated and exhausted. Much better. /s

I built a blanket fort for my darling Nibbler to celebrate another #caturday together. #Nibbler #CatsOfMastodon #catstodon

I appreciate that not everyone wants to hear about the minutia of the fascist creep in the U.S., but it's not a go to demand we use CW on political content when much of our national tumult revolves around people trying to regulate our discussions. I'll put in a hashtag for people's filters, but consideration is a two-way street. And if any uncomfortable things slip past your protections, just substitute in the names of your local fascist and their targets. I'm sure you can think of some. We're all feeling the strain. Please be kind. #USPol

It's supposed to drop to 81 degrees tomorrow in Los Angeles, and I'm already thinking about what sweater I'm going to wear.

While I'm slowly melting into my couch after four nights in the hospital, this is the only song I want to hear. "Home at Last" by the great Steely Dan. #Mastodan #SteelyDan #UncleMusic

The worst thing about not having the usual private rooms at the hospital is being close enough to the nurses' station - we're ringed around it - to make it impossible to pretend they're not mostly assholes. #ISaidIt #NotAllNurses

I was in the hallway bed behind a slightly delicate girl and her incredibly awful husband. After her tests came back negative (yay!), he started berating her for what she "put herself through" by going to urgent care, then ER, for a chronic thing that could be nothing or life-threatening. Then he started lecturing her like a shitty fucking life coach on how she allowed herself to be scared and how she could learn to be different - and turned the topic back to him and his business philosophy. God, what a toad. The way he was clinging to her the whole time in the waiting room just bolstered my impression that the relationship is abusive, and that she should get out. Fortunately, it sounds like she's had fertility problems, so she can make a clean break if she needs to. I hope she does so with all reasonable alacrity.
