Hey #MedSky and #NurseSky I’m coming back here after abandoning a sinking ship Former PICU/Transport RN. Quit DNP with a year left after breast cancer Social justice Reality TV, Drag and horror enthusiast Queer Xennial Nerd 🍃

My grandpa had the COOLEST sentence I’ve ever seen in a funeral program “He was once flown by his friend Chuck Yeager over the arctic circle and saw polar bears on the ground” My son said “I never heard most of that stuff about great grandpa before today” So, let me eulogize this giant of a man

He was fluent in English and German. He knew a little bit of a LOT of languages. He was brave enough to lose family because he married a Mexican woman at a time when interracial marriage was illegal He was generous A devout Catholic When we showed him the new pope he said “That’s Robert Prevost”

They don’t make them like my grandpa anymore and they never will. He was a GOOD person genuinely. He lived an AMAZING life.

He was given the assignment to take the ambulance to the tarmac when the President’s body was returned. “I was 10 feet from LBJ on the tarmac”. I scoured photos, zoomed in to see if I could find him. The next time I saw him I asked where he was. He pointed to an area behind the ambulance…

And just above the ambulance I could see the top of his hat I learned today that we ALL owe him thanks because he was part of the team that discovered asbestos was harmful He was a world traveler, but always an Iowan. He was kind. He was generous. He was brilliant

Grandpa has been on my mind heavily with Artemis II launching just after he passed He was an engineer and an Air Force officer with high security clearance In the 60s he worked with NASA. He designed the space toilet (yes we asked about Hidden Figures) His most jaw dropping story involves JFK

He was stationed in DC during the Kennedy administration. He would take the kids to see the president leave on Air Force 1, as they did before President Kennedy left for Dallas that last time They mentioned President Kennedy saluting him, which I never knew… but that’s not where this is impressive

My whole life my weight has been a struggle. I’ve gained and lost literally hundreds of pounds in my life At 37 I was still able to lose weight with diet. But I started getting two periods a month. I had a ton of stress and my hair was falling out in handfuls. My IBS was debilitating…

I’m mad at how gatekept and cost prohibitive GLP-1s are I’m mad anyone thinks this weight loss is less valid than any other diet or fitness program I’ve ever done And as always, I’m mad because thin people think we don’t know you don’t want us to really lose weight.

Meds helped me gain weight. Meds are helping me lose weight. How is that a cheat?

I started a GLP-1 And y’all. I’m fucking FURIOUS I’m furious because in 2.5 months I’m down 26 pounds. My weight starts 17 now. I’m furious because my weight has fluctuated enough in my life I know how fucked up people are to fat bodies. I know I’m treated differently based on my weight

I’m mad because I have STRUGGLED for YEARS losing this fucking weight that medicine made fall off. I’m mad because idiots who don’t know what it’s like to struggle with your weight think being overweight is a moral failure and not a symptom of other health issues or just part of aging

But without nortriptyline I couldn’t function I was in so much pain and stuck on the toilet. I couldn’t sleep. Without Anastazole my cancer could come back So I spent time learning to accept my new body, complete with frankenboobs (thanks cancer)

I made some lifestyle changes to help with my overall health and only weighed myself at the doctor for a few years. I lost weight but couldn’t get under 200 I’m now 43. My labs say “pre-diabetic”. So I pull a lever on something I had been avoiding because of how bad my stomach already hurt…

I ended up on meds that made me start gaining weight, in addition to just being tired of CONSTANTLY dieting. I got a hysterectomy. Started nortriptyline. I felt so much better physically but my weight went above 200 for the first time in my life… I started losing weight unintentionally cuz cancer

Then I ate what I could tolerate and gained weight. Steroids made me gain weight. Lack of mobility made me gain. I ended up my highest about 236 (I remember feeling horrible because I weighed as much as Homer Simpson) I’d wean myself off of meds I needed so I could lose weight…

I hope @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social and whoever the powers that be who have this show on air understand that this is a community. Today was hard. To learn we’re losing our weekly hangout with our friends. Everyone welcome

Deeply sad to see such a good thing go, even if I know it will never really die. Community is a blessing. #TheLastDriveIn #JoeBobBriggs #MutantFam @themutantfam.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social

And I think that’s what we respond to. Not just Darcy being hot and a wonderful cool human who rules at cosplay. It’s that we know it’s okay to like this weird thing. And maybe we’re okay for being kind of weird. And maybe it’s okay if we want to be weirder. Appointment tv is so rare anymore

I’m glad I’m not alone in feeling so sad today

FrcMajeure@frcmajeure.bsky.social

And it’s because of who Joe Bob is. It’s that he honors the movies for the work that went into them and the people who made them. He might have a chuckle but he never makes fun of anything. Even if he doesn’t like it. He treats movies and the people who make them with respect.

How we doing #MutantFam

Wait. So you’re telling me Dr Jekyll was just really horny and his fiancée went out of town? This doesn’t sound like horror so much as a guy who got caught with his pants down and tried to come up with an excuse on the fly

My r@pist made contact with me today Which was my bad. Because y’all reminded me it was his birthday on Twin Peaks day. And I wanted to bum him out. So I sent him a message to remind him he sucks Well, he decided to threaten me over stuff I didn’t do. And denied assaulting me…

And while it REALLY activated me because this assault is the big trauma I’m working through… I started laughing at his saying “you and I both know this didn’t happen”. Ummm… do we? Because why did I panic and shut down on an NB who had the same shoulder tattoo? Why couldn’t I let anyone touch me?

Why is intimacy related to SA something major my current partner and I are working through The IDEA that I would be so spiteful to make up such an elaborate narrative and involve other people just on the off chance we’d speak again one day?

Saw this in Discord and it’s amazing

I have never once voluntarily watched a Trump speech in entirety

Boo to USA men’s hockey. Seriously. Be an athlete before you’re a simp He disrespected your team USA peers You all can get bent

I saw a video of Perez Hilton weighing in on what James Van Der Beek’s widow should do with GoFundMe money He’s the same piece of shit he’s always been As someone who has kids who lost their father to cancer: fuck this guy.

Something hard I’ve come to accept about having spent a large chunk of time religious… Religion doesn’t want to fix you or make you truly happy. True happiness is learning to love yourself as you are. That’s when you’re healed Telling you all the ways you suck just keeps you broken

Question for people who didn’t spend any time in Christianity: Do you know there are hundreds and thousands of versions of the Bible? Like KJV, NKJV, NIV, NABRE (if you’re Catholic)… but then there are like cliff notes translations as well…
