How hot is Alexander Siddig???
‘Have you not felt in the past, Bertie, that, if Augustus had a fault, it was a tendency to be a little timid?’
I saw what she meant.
‘Oh, ah, yes, of course, definitely.’ I remembered something Jeeves had once called Gussie. 'A sensitive plant, what?’
'Exactly. You know your Shelley, Bertie.’
'Oh, do I?’

My 5-year-old has learned more from playing video games than from watching ‘Sesame Street’
Thimbleweed Park stole my son’s heart and refuses to let go
If my husband and I could go back in time to tell our younger selves that our son would embrace Ron Gilbert’s smart, stylish adventure games as wholeheartedly as we had when we were young… our younger selves would probably have laughed themselves silly.
“Wait, I’m going to be a parent one day?” Insert raucous laughter here.
But that’s what’s happened: our almost-6-year-old has now played Thimbleweed Park all the way through a staggering 15 times. While Trials, Overcooked, LittleBigPlanet 3 and TowerFall trained up his motor skills, Thimbleweed Park is actively teaching him to use logical problem-solving through reading, interaction and puzzles.

I DIDNT CHECK TH E SONG FULLY BEFORE POSTING THIS I FUCKED UP
congratulations!!! through doubt, you have unlocked backstory!!!
imagine, if you will, innocent, overly-trusting me listening to the mario galaxy ost and getting to the honeyhive galaxy theme, and thinking “wow! this song would go great with a pokemon walking gif!”
a brilliant idea! i immediately search up the song, and oh, how naive i was.
the third result is very official-looking!! a perfect candidate for a quick youtube rip–it’s just a meme, it won’t hurt anybody.
the first few second autoplay, and it seems legit! i quickly copy the url and download the file, then make the post
at this point, i haven’t seen the gif along with the song i’d intended to put with it, so i have a listen!!
and let me tell you, the surprise i got,
JESUS I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT 😂

Hey! Since you recently answered a question about the general care of children and how it differs from with adults- how is it different working with kids in emergency situations? Like if a child was in a fire or suddenly came down with a life threatening illness or broke a bone or something like that?

Hey there nonny! Thanks for your ask!
(This ask is referring to [this post], by the way).
Kids in emergencies are typically in one of two states: either they’re panicky little horrorshows who scream, cry, cling to their moms (when available), refuse to let you do ANYTHING, or else they’re pale, limp, quiet, and still.
I will take the first kid over the second kid every single day of my life. A child crying is my favorite thing to hear coming out of an elevator. Why? Because that second child is sick as shit.
Kids in the absolute worst emergencies are “easy” to treat, because they’re unconscious or flaccid or simply checked-out. They’re also stupendously sick, and even skilled providers with pediatric training get freaked out by really sick kids.
So those kids are easy. Managing their parents can be extremely difficult, of course, but you can generally calm adults down at least to a point of being functional and cooperative.
Paradoxically, the less-sick kids are a lot harder to treat, because they want to crawl, run, scream, and get as far away from you (the big scary stranger who probably has needles) as possible.
The single best thing for providers to do is recruit the parents. (Or caretakers of whatever kind are available; someone the kid trusts. I’m as trans-positive and inclusive as they come, but I also will reach for the person the kid calls mom as the person to reach out to first. In my experience, that’s who the vast majority of kids trust the most.)
Other things: distraction works really well with moderately-sick kids; peds docs/nurses/medics typically have some kind of shiny or toy on them.
It also often helps to demonstrate what you’re going to do on mom/caretaker-du-jour. We’ll put pulse ox probes on mom and/or ourselves, then put them on the kid, to show them it doesn’t hurt. (We can’t do this with sharps, obviously.)
Finally, trying to provide comforting elements, such as bright and cheery spaces with lots of cartoons, can be comforting. Here’s an exam room in [the Peds ER at Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center]:
I’ve even watched entire staff groups sing The Wheels on the Bus to a kid who was getting an IV – as people were holding the kid’s arm down and the IV was getting put in. The kid was screaming, and I have a feeling it probably gave the kid a Pavlovian response to The Wheels on the Bus (the little droog), but hey, it’s a thing and I’ve seen it so I pass it on to you!
Hope this helped a bit.
