It doesn’t. It’s been shown that sleep deprivation is at least as detrimental as having a BAC of 0.06. Do you want your doctor or nurse of paralegal or Uber driver to be functionally tipsy when they help you?

One of the things they say in CPR training is “the most important heartbeat in any situation is your own.” This should apply EVERYWHERE and it’s bonkers that it doesn’t, that the amount of suffering you’re experiencing somehow makes you better at your job?

Why is working up until burnout the Weird Flex that everyone seems to buy into?

“Hello, I’m the nurse/surgeon/anesthesiologist/tech who will be responsible for your life today, I haven’t slept in twenty hours and hate the concept of luminosity and also laughter” just doesn’t feel like it should instill confidence

All I want out of life is a picture of @JortsTheCat exhibiting Flehmen response.

Proof of the thumbs. He does indeed use them to grip things.

He is a tiny soft boi with a meow like a chain smoker and opposable thumbs. I worry I will come home one day to find he has learned to open cans.

In other stray cat news, this lovebug of a boy has been wandering our neighborhood fully intact with no chip. It’s starting to get cold at night, so we will step up and be responsible for him and give him a more appropriate home than the outdoor bachelor life he’s been having.

@MandaTheGinger Gulp. Of course I pick today to fly back into Seattle. I’m going to pregame some Dramamine…

First winter-style windstorm blowing through the area this afternoon. Spouse went to do a line check & extra tie down at the marina and sent me the message that today he learned it's possible to get seasick standing on a floating dock. Yikes.

@MandaTheGinger @_minkit @MQuigley1963 Yes! He composes pieces inspired by and/or based on the works of Edgar Allen Poe. His newest based on Conquerer Worm drops this Friday. His Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/2rvHH8t…

@_minkit @MQuigley1963 Paging @xaandria You posted some music your brother did that fits the bill....

anyone know any good kind of... creepy magical songs? doesn't need lyrics or nothing, but its fine if it has lyrics too... just need a good atmosphere for my nanowrimo brainstorming #nanowrimo #writingcommunity

@AlaskaAir, this plane is repulsive. Dust and who knows what caked in the air vents. Flight 641 Tucson to Seattle. I can forgive a lot in these times of low staffing but cleanliness standards should be way higher.

Spay and neuter your pets, folks. Satine was so, so young when she got pregnant, still technically a kitten herself. Do your part to ease the burden of stray cat overpopulation. Not every young stray mama kitty will be as lucky as Satine.

Satine is presumed to be a little less than a year old and was rescued with her litter of kittens. Said kittens have been weaned and rehomed, Satine has a clean bill of health (if a little malnourished), and we will be spaying and vaxxing her this week!

We decided as a couple that we would have a hard limit of two cats, which is why we are welcoming our fourth cat Satine to our family tonight.

@AskTSA Can I bring dies for cutting paper and fabric in my carryon luggage? (Example: accuquilt dies)

@MandaTheGinger When I wear anything, I tend to go for stains rather than lipstick and then gloss over the top that can be refreshed as necessary. Urban Decay makes some good stains. Haven’t had any occasion to do my face for a while, though.

Y'all, I need recs. I am doing *things* in the world again & sometimes I'm showing my whole face, but a lot of times I'm not. I don't want to show my whole face without lipstick but I also don't want to smear the stuff all over the inside of a mask. Best mask-proof lip color: GO!
