Every time I open Facebook dating it shows me my therapist as a “top pick” because we “have a lot in common” and it’s like yeah thanks I know but that’s not allowed 😂

Forever grateful to the emotional labour of everyone who takes the time to educate others on safe and healthy kink for no benefit to themselves besides passing along safety information.

Dodged me a real bullet there that I can 100% attribute to a conversation I had with a friend many years ago, supplemented by all the things I’ve read on Tumblr along the way. Past me would not have seen the red flags purely from lack of knowledge.

The worst part of the medical system being so fucking fatphobic, for me, is that medical fucking malpractice is the reason I even became fat.

Doctors literally caused the weight problem that led every other doctor to shrug off every single problem I ever brought up going forward, up to and including even my early concerns about the treatment for the original misdiagnosis.

None of it is fair to begin with but it is extra crushing for me that the reason no one has ever taken me seriously is all because of a problem caused by a negligent doctor when I was a teenager 😪

This GP I keep fighting to see at risk of being kicked from the practice showed his value today though, why I keep thinking he’s the best one for me to see, when making a referral despite focusing on a symptom that is weight-related when my #1 concern is a different symptom (all doctors suck, there’s no exceptions). All he did? Added the misdiagnosis and the 15 years of unnecessary treatment to my medical history that’s being sent to specialists.

Doctors have done so little for me the last 15 years that the mere inclusion of the misdiagnosis feels huge. The “treatment” I took for it has done widespread damage on my body and I will forever be dealing with the health consequences from it. It seems that including this lil factoid should be the bare minimum of what doctors should do but… you’d be surprised. This information didn’t even make it to a different specialist I’ve been seeing for a long-term health problem that actually is directly caused by the malpractice issue (who needs vision anyway?). It hasn’t been information that’s been passed via my file at all in the last year of trying to pick up the pieces of my health. I have to keep screaming about it everywhere I go or else doctors don’t and won’t know.

But this guy remembered it about me despite not talking about it today and put it in the info of a new referral. It’s fucking horrible that doing the basics of their job now makes me so grateful and appreciative, but that’s Ontario healthcare for you.

My body is such a prison and it’s insane how many of the problems are related to the misdiagnosis 😪 It’s criminal and I’m devastated I can’t sue.

Long before the introduction of color film, a Russian chemist and photographer named Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky used an innovative technique. He took three individual black and white photos, each through a colored filter (red, green, and blue), to create fully colored, high-quality pictures. The photo of this woman, taken by him, is around 107 years old!

older gentleman just gave me a lecture on how when I decide it’s time to find a wife I need to buy myself a pair of loud colorful socks and sit around with my legs crossed to show my ankles and women will flock to me

okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the "personal life" part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you'll either find a major tragedy he didn't recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she's not there anymore.

I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he's done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.

so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn't work in history, or, women aren't auteurs, or, there just aren't as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.

For example, you meet someone and don't find them physically attractive. As you get to know them and find that they're interesting/kind/etc, you become attracted to them even though you weren't initially.

Oh boy this really is happening isn’t it? Random mental breakdown right when I’m trying to go to bed and have to be up in the morning?

It’s like my trauma-fueled nightmares aren’t enough torture in the darkness

Do your ever just start crying when you go to bed at night because lying down to try and unwind just releases all the enormous stress you cannot bear the burden of

There is nothing like hugging your chosen family tight and telling them they mean the whole wide entire world to you
