I knew paediatrics would be hard.

But that it would be this hellish on the first day of the placement… :’)

That time when Jimmy Carter saved Canada from Nuclear Armageddon

And people used to make fun of him calling him a Peanut farmer, ignoring that he was in the Navy and stopped a Nuclear Meltdown in Canada, and people laughed when he wanted to put Solar Panels at the White House. :T

And since Carter was a Humble guy he didn’t say “Want to talk about tough.. Look Ronnie did you join the Navy and then go into a Nuclear Reactor and piss radiation for 6 months?”

That one moment where DS9 just completely tears the whole franchise apart is probably one of my fave Trek moments ever.

Jake: I’m human, I don’t have any money.

Nog: It’s not my fault that your species decided to abandon currency-based economics in favour of some philosophy of self-enhancement.

Jake: Hey, watch it. There’s nothing wrong with our philosophy. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.

Nog: What does that mean exactly?

Jake: It means… It means we don’t need money.

Nog: Well if you don’t need money, then you certainly don’t need mine.

Jake: How much latinum do you have? How much?

I'm amazed a Viacom lawyer didn't immediately march down to the set with a cease and desist letter saying "it has come to our attention that your show is exposing the flimsy pretext of our immensely profitable franchise"

Ron Moore wrote this dialogue as a way to poke some fun at what he wrote for Star Trek: First Contact. Here’s a comment he made in a 1999 on-line chat with DS9 fans (from Memory Alpha).

I take great glee at mocking my own work. See also “In the Cards” for a riff on Picard’s rather pompous “we don’t need money” line.

I love getting unaccompanied minors (kids flying alone) who so clearly just. Don't want to be here lol. Sometimes I get to know a little of their story, like their parents are divorced, or a family member died and they're heading to the funeral, but usually they just don't want to talk about it and that's fine. But I always treat the flight like it's a challenge to make them smile. I offer them snacks and soda but that's never enough, that's whatever, they could get those from an airport vending machine. Chump change. So then I tell the worst jokes. Just the most embarrassing, kindergarten teacher, annoying dad jokes you can think of. And those always get a groan, or a "Seriously??" And that's my in! Now I can say "Why, what's your idea of a good joke? No, come on hotshot, make your best joke, let's see it." And they hem and they haw but of course they eventually tell me their very best joke because kids are little competitive comedy goldmines. And it's always super funny, so I laugh, and that's where they slip up. Because you know what you almost always do when your joke successfully makes someone laugh? You smile. And I'm like. Gotcha. Rookie move. Now you're going to end up having a good time in spite of yourself. I win.

Did this with an 11yo u.m. today and he said "What did the ghost say to the other ghost?" And I said "What?" "Nothing. Ghosts aren't real."

I'm literally a flight attendant, offering snacks and drinks is my job

fellas, is it paedophilic to interact with a child

[orevet]

one of these days a lost toddler is gonna wander up to one of these fools and instead of doing the normal thing of going "oh fuck it's a baby wandering around by itself I better take care of it until I can find its parents" they're just gonna let it wander off into traffic because they're terrified of looking like a kiddy-fiddler

I reblogged this a few hours ago, but I will reblog it again, because I just feel this SO STRONGLY.

The word “resilient” is so overused in medicine, I’m not sure we even know what it means anymore.

Ahh it feels unreal to finally be able to post this ALMOST neverending work, even more surreal is to declare it completely finished after several months of tribulation and constant uncertainties :’) So here it is, I surely wanted to make more adjustments, but to be honest, this piece has been through a lot of change, to keep on modifying it would be altering its nature, so I made my peace with perfectionism and decided to leave it as it is, hope you’ll like it!
