I am once again thinking about digging holes

It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification

I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

It's sad to know that I'm probably part of the last generation that had contact with technology working physically, and all the fascination that it brought. Looking at vinyl records and trying to imagine how the needle would fit through the grooves to produce sound. Wondering why I couldn't open the camera if the film was being used. Then laying back on the grass with the negatives to look at the blue tint on my mother's skin in the tiny frames, against the bright sky outside. Pulling out VHS tape from its broken casing to try to see the frames. Why wasn't it like the film that went in the camera? Sitting with my mother's typewriter, trying to write school assignments on it because I was fascinated with how the hammers moved. Watching my dad opening the TV up to fix some wires. Later I would sit very close to the screen and wonder how the bars in three colours made up all of those pictures. We broke things. We opened them, we fixed them. Learned from my dad how to fix them, and how to solder. Now everything is miniaturised. Efficient. Practical. In water-tight casings, that you can't open, or won't open not to void the warranty. But if it breaks anyway, you just buy a new one.

The video is there, the music is there, you don't know how it got to you, how it works, you just accept its presence. And you consume.

We had a patient last night who was a textbook case of electrolytes imbalance as a result of nausea and vomiting. And I didn’t say this to the patient because I didn’t think they’d appreciate it, but it’s kinda great when the way you are so so sick is like exactly like the textbooks say it’ll be. Like not good that you’re having sudden new onset muscle weakness and tingling, but buddy this is gonna get sorted out with an efficiency you won’t believe. We fixed like 85% of the stuff wrong with this patient by midnight and we marveled the whole time about how this patient was seemingly concocted in a lab so I could walk my trainee through a highly manageable crisis

#this happened to my housemate once #i thankfully decided to take the day off to drive her to her doctor appointment because she looked off #she fainted getting a single vial of blood taken so we had to call the ambulance #i sat with her all the way to hospital in the ambulance and she was crying and miserable and scared #after maybe half an hour on the bag of fluids she came back to herself completely #was very cool to watch

I've been trying not to call people mean names when I get into arguments so now my default when I get a lil frustrated is to say "babe" which as u might understand is not particularly conducive to customer service
