Hunter, ER doc, believer in democracy. I’m here to rant, combat medical misinfo, shitpost, and get social therapy. Posts aren’t medical advice. This is the only platform I am currently on. If you find “me” elsewhere, it isn’t me. 

A whole of people are about to find out how the world actually works, and they aren't going to like it.
He/him/or whatever, because fuck the “get pronouns out of your emails” shitweasels.

PSA:

If you are wearing smart glasses and come to the ER, the smart glasses people are going to get a recording of my history, exam, and discussion of your results. You wouldn’t believe how often I unexpectedly find cancer, or syphilis, or other conditions you may not want big tech to immediately be privy to. Meta isn’t subject to medical privacy laws. It also isn’t my job to recognize your camera and give you a heads-up. In fact, big signs in the ER tell you recording is not allowed.

One thing many folks don’t think about is how hard it is to fight fire in hot temperatures. My medics have an entire “firefighter rehab” protocol. You get pulled off the apparatus, sent over for temp and vitals checks, and may have to get fluids and so forth. If you don’t get better, off to the hospital. In summer structure fires, we drop crew members to heat illness quickly no matter how attentive we are.

I’ve seen posts from folks asking about engagement and how Mastodon works —
You’ll get mansplained by the whole damn place I’m sure, but I have a simple strategy. I follow people, and anyone that I notice following me gets a follow back unless it’s clearly a scam account.

There’s no algorithm here, so the main thing early on is just following lots of folks so you start to get their content and reboosted content and so forth.

If you’re buying pickles in the US this week, just know that Mt. Olive Pickle Company did humanity a solid and pulled out of the Trump fair bullshit when they learned that North Carolina’s booth had a confederate battle flag on it (which, incidentally, was never flown over North Carolina during the confederacy…).

Heh. Trump is worried about the commies. Buddy, you need to be worried about the middle aged, middle of the road folks like me who are becoming socialists by the hour in response to your nazi nonsense. We were raised on a steady diet of Freedom (TM), underdog stories, and DEI armies saving middle earth from an evil bastard hellbent on our destruction.

Here’s the deal with the Park Service hiding injuries and deaths — I’m sure Trump heard the rumor that Disney doesn’t let people “die” on property, and he is jealous because people die in the National Parks. So now, like in North Korea, people will just not report it, so the fragile crazy leader can hide from reality.

Republicans are fucking pathetic.
