My husband’s job primarily employs adult men but there is one (1) teenage girl and my husband said originally he worried she might be a bit of an outcast but instead every man on the crew was like “huh guess I am a dad/older brother now.”

She was in a car crash on the way to work one morning and called my husband to let him know she’d be late and he was like wtf guess I’m gonna be late too because I’m coming to pick you up and then he told his team and they were like I think you mean WE are coming.

Imagine you are a teenage girl probably rushing to get to work and you crash your probably new car and feel absolutely miserable and now you’ll be late to work but then suddenly in the distance a car full of all the adult men you work with just pulls up and is like “we came all the way here to pick you up” the mental image right now is fr.

Apparently she tried to call her dad but it was 3am and he was obviously sleeping so she called my husband and he not only came to find her but fished her glasses out of the hood of the car (she’d dropped them while looking inside), drove her to the hospital, and told her to take the day off. She insisted on coming back to work so he used his lunch break to watch TV with her to make sure she didn’t doze off (concussion risk).

You’ve heard of the Mom friend but my husband is very much the Dad friend. He said when he answered the phone she said “hey please don’t be mad” and he’s never felt such powerful Fatherhood energy in his life.

psa to everyone on antipsychotics during the summertime

some antipsychotics can make you more susceptible to heat exhaustion because they make it so your body cannot regulate your body temperature correctly. I learned this the hard way last summer, I got really nasty heat exhaustion while on a high dose of quetiapine. so check if your meds react badly to heat, and if they do, please be sure to wear your sunscreen, have light cover ups on or with you, wear a hat, and stay hydrated! be safe

especially duloxetine and clozapine, know the signs of dehydration, take cooling breaks if you have to be in the sun

duloxetine is commonly branded in the USA as Cymbalta.

Note: many anti-bipolar meds are also antipsychotics. I found a list of psychotropic meds that can increase risk of heat exhaustion here:

Can personally confirm that Latuda/Lurasidone can also mess with your heat response and lead to heat exhaustion if you aren’t careful, like I wasn’t.

[ID: Screenshot of a page with two columns listing trade names beside generic names of medications; the columns have been compiled into a list for ease of comprehension/reading.

Common psychotropic medications that may impair the heat response:

Abilify, Aristada - aripiprazole Asendin - amoxapine Artane - trihexyphenidyl Aventyl, Pamelor - nortriptyline Benadryl - diphenhydramine Celexa - citalopram Clozaril, Fazaclo, Versacloz - clozapine Cogentin - benztropine Cymbalta - duloxetine Desyrel, Oleptro - trazodone Elavil - amitriptyline Effexor - venlafaxine Eskalith, Lithobid, Lithonate - lithium Fanapt - iloperidone Fetzima - levomilnacipran Geodon - ziprasidone Haldol - haloperidol Invega - paliperidone Lexapro - escitalopram Loxitane - loxapine Latuda - lurasidone Navane - thiothixene Norpramin - desipramine Nuplazid - pimavanserin Paxil - paroxetine Phenergan - promethazine Pristiq - desvenlafaxine Prolixin - fluphenazine Prozac - fluoxetine Rexulti - brexpiprazole Risperdal - risperidone Saphris - asenapine Seroquel - quetiapine Sinequan, Silenor - doxepin Stelazine - trifluoperazine Thorazine - chlorpromazine Tofranil - imipramine Trilafon - perphenazine Trintellix - vortioxetine Wellbutrin, Zyban - bupropion Viibryd - vilazodone Vraylar - cariprazine Zoloft - sertraline Zyprexa - olanzapine

I've read fucking smut in front of people and they've never known because I never make a face.

But the MINUTE Person A does something sweet for Person B in the domestic fluff I'm reading, I start smiling a fucking idiot. What the fuck.
