I really like this video.  Good, simple, explanation about how to be nice to people.  Let’s be nice, people.

Disabled characters are often seen as symbolizing the triumph of the human spirit, or the freakishness we all feel inside. That may be another reason disabled actors are overlooked—they don’t allow disability-as-metaphor to flourish as easily.

Something to think about.

Attention Tumblr!!!

NURSES and other medical professionals, I have an idea for a tumblr blog for us. But I don’t know how to make it happen.  

Anybody know?  Or does this already exist somewhere?

I’m thinking Grey’s Anatomy Medical Fails or something along those lines.  

I’ve recently become addicted to Grey’s Anatomy, which is hilariously unrealistic.  In the last few episodes, the physicians were admitting patients to medical floors, doctors were getting blankets and pillows for patients, doctors were changing dressings and inserting IVs, doctors were giving meds, and a team of surgeons called a full code on a palliative patient...  Also sometimes the patient is “crashing” with vital signs that are definitely not “crashing.”  

Where I work, this doesn’t happen...

I find these moments particularly hilarious and would love to see gifs and stuff of medical fails like this.

It’s an amazing and real strength to be truly kind to people, even when they may not deserve it at the time.

The Brain Scoop: How to Taxidermy a Squirrel 

WE’RE BAAAAAAAACK in the lab with Anna, featuring guest host Katie Innamorato of afterlifeanatomy! There are a number of significant differences between the art of taxidermy and the preparation of specimens in museums for research purposes. Join us in this gutsy (LOL PUN) exploration of art and science!

The Grossometer level is moderate in this one, but heads up for blood and guts!

HILARIOUS.  And true.

Do you think Tina Fey would describe Amy Poehler’s type as “Spin Class Instructor” or?

[fearhopedietcokeandrainbows-blog]

Tina Fey.  Brilliant.

My fiance and I are re-watching 30 Rock.  It still makes me laugh every episode.

Love it.
