MY PEOPLE. God she's amazing.
Naomi from The Expanse. Hence my username, if you know you know. Fleeing from a relationship with a narcissist landed me where I am now in my life, so I feel that episode (called Hard Vacuum).
Book of Eli (2010) with Denzel Washington is my favorite post-apocalyptic movie.
War of the Worlds (2005) with Tom Cruise is easily one of the most stressful movies I've ever seen, and I love it.
Contagion (2011) remains the scariest movie I've ever seen, even now that I've lived it. Just imagining an encephalitic virus with a 20-30% mortality rate like the one depicted in the movie makes me nauseous. (Loosely based on real life Nipah virus.)
Dark healthcare provider humor incoming: When considering these kinds of questions regarding CPR, we actually say, "Well, they ain't getting any deader."
CPR actually reverses death. That's why it only works sometimes and only if provided in a very short window of time after you've died. Nothing that is done during CPR is going to make that worse. So yeah, the reality is that it's a little bit of a controlled free-for-all. It's called "heroic measures" for a reason.
Birds and wildlife in my neighborhood. I'm technically in suburbia, but enough old growth patches have been maintained that we have a surprising amount of wild animals that live in or travel through the neighborhood (Massachusetts, US)
Merlin app is amazing for identifying birds at the feeder I put on my back deck. And the rest of the animals, I mentally collect like Pokemon.
Same. Airplanes. Seeing them, being on one, just so giddy and excited every time.
This was very much my experience with the trans girl I grew up with 35 years ago. From the instant she was able to express preferences (I'm talking like age 18 months to 2 years), it was all princesses and dolls and makeup and trying on mom's high heels. We all just assumed she was a gay boy because we had never heard of a transgender person before.
We encouraged her to just keep that behavior at home because she was bullied mercilessly for appearing to be an effeminate boy. But nothing would stop her; she was completely irrepressible.
When in high school, she told us she was really a girl, it was like the most face-palmingly obvious thing. Of COURSE that's what we'd been seeing her entire life. It just made sense. That's just who she is.
