any butches in the medical field? I start classes tomorrow and I'm both excited and anxious!

I find that giving back to my community and giving back is very affirming and fulfilling for me, so I'm excited to pursue a career around doing just that. What's your experience been like? Any issues with being queer in that space?

Bit of a weird post. But my car just broke down in the middle of spruce street and I had about 5 people run out into the road and help me get it into a parking lot. I know there is a very small chance any of those people will see it, but I wanted to make a post about it.

I moved here a awhile ago. I grew up in california and so moving here and out on my own for the first time was a little intimidating. But any time I have reached out for help, the community has answered. I can give countless examples, a stranger helping me move a recliner into my apt, this help with my car, christian help charity covering a month of my rent, strangers helping me move a tree branch out of the road after a big storm, etc). It really and truly restores my faith in humanity. I know it's not just a Morgantown phenomenon, but I wanted to thank the community anyway. Everyone is trying their best in this crazy life that we live, and it genuinely brings me to the verge of tears to see people come together and help someone out.

I am about to go to school to become an EMT, I'm not sure yet where that path will take me. But I hope I can give back in a signifigant way :)

Thank you!

A lot of the instrumentals from MCPDC I'm also hearing in Isimo, is this intentional? Whats the meaning behind that? If anyone knows. Either way both are very lovely songs. MCPDC wrecks me, and its a beautiful song. it came out the exact same time i had to cut off an emotionally abusive friend (even down to associations with the color yellow).

hello all! totally originally never done before post here

my cars catalytic converter is fucked, does anyone know any mechanics who focus on mufflers/exaust/catalytic converters? good guys who do things for relatively cheap?

my car needs to be seen asap, i have a job and am being left without transportation

hello, im aware this is a big ask and maybe a little stupid to ask but i need help

i ubered to work as my car is broken down. i was scheduling my uber home, but an apple subscription took just enough money so that i cant afford a ride home

i work night shift, and i get off at 7am. the ride home from my work is about 15 minutes. i work in cheat lake

would anyone be willing to drive me home? my closest family/friends are about an hour away

edit: made it home! thank you!

Hello!

I just got into my local emt program at community college, and whilst I'm incredibly excited, I'm admittedly scared too.

I struggle with mental health, I have a few suicide attempts already. I think with proper support I will be okay; but I want to ask how other EMTs do it? I know it can be deeply and incredibly traumatizing. I don't want it to change me to be more negative or worse.

Also, how do you not tell your family and friends things? I admittedly tell my friends a lot about my day, I am socially ungraceful and I have enough sense to probably not say every gruesome detail. But what boundaries do you set with yourself?

hello! this might be a little different from ones regular post. but id love some thoughts or perspective if possible.

so, i (21nb) had a friend (23m) cut me off about 6 months ago with little to no warning. It devastated me beyond belief and I've been incredibly hurt and angry. but i just found out through a mutual friend, he's been dealing with chronic illness since around that same time, and told very few people about it. It's affecting his ability to work, to walk, etc. It's likely a big factor in why he cut me off. Plus, I tend to miss social cues and be very self centered. He never opened up nor never said I did anything, but yeah. idk. We were at a convention together and I did some things that I really regret, not world ending but tldr i was socially awkward and made people uncomfortable. my bad.

I feel silly, a bit like an idiot and incredibly self centered. I've spent so much time being angry. I considered it might be something bigger than mysef, but the evidence didn't support it at the time. This guy, despite his flaws, is incredibly kind and has been through a lot. I really feel for him

Can I get perspective on what your guy's experience with chronic illness is like? What happened when you first discovered you had it? Any similar experiences to my own? Please. Literally anything or any thoughts helps

hello all!

I am a foster for a local rescue, and i currently have a 2-3 year old tabby cat named Magnolia. She's great but since I've her this past week, she's been having coughing fits, sneezing, rasping, and generally seems uncomfortable. I picked her up from another foster, who said they never noticed anything wrong. I tried listening to her lungs (hoping to become an EMT but I know cats and humans are probs a little different haha) and they didnt sound the healthiest. She's been on oral clavamox for a day or two but no changes have been observed.

She's about 6 pounds, I know she was outdoors a little before I had her. Her shots will need to be updated in June. Otherwise she seems healthy, somewhat energetic, she likes riding around on my shoulder.

She's had soft stool and takes some pretty diabolical shits but her other foster did mention that.

I'm hearing her cough and sneeze up a storm in the other room. I keep going to check on her

edit: im a newer foster parent but I've been watching healthy cats for about a year for my current rescue. My aunt also rescues cats and so I go to her for advice. It seems like its just a cold, but I wanted to ask for vet advice. If needed i can try and put my phone up to her chest/get a recording if needed
