my partner said something that kinda rocked my world

[milesnsmiles]

"I'm always saying this" --me when I've never been saying this

[milesnsmiles]

“Healthcare in America is horrible. Healthcare in rural America is a nightmare. I have an idea. Make it worse. This will definitely boost the economy.”

Man, as someone with like... not insignificant mental illness, I get really like... amused? when people campaign against the word crazy. I just feel like theres more important things to be done for mental health, like making sure people who society deems as crazy get enough support to live full lives and be active members of society if they want to be.

I'm less interested in stopping people from calling me crazy and more interested in getting support without losing access to personal choice in how I live my life and manage my psychiatric disabilities. As well as making sure other people get the same.

using brain damage as an insult isn't a better alternative to using the r word. brain damage doesn't cause bigotry, and it's not the punchline for a joke. you know you can express astonishment at someone's actions without implying they must have brain damage. brain injuries aren't the end of someone's worth as a person. like are you even aware there's various types of brain injury.

Your disordered thinking has bewitched me fair maiden

it’s crazy how different you get treated in a mask but what really gets me is that when people ask why I’m masking, I’ve stopped saying I’m immunodeficient and started saying I have an immunodeficient family member at home. I am not exaggerating when I tell you this has 100% improved every single encounter I’ve had with anti-maskers. i’m not exaggerating in the slightest.

i used to tell people i’m immunodeficient and they’d ask invasive questions about my diagnosis, whether my parents kept my childhood overly sterile, whether I was vaccinated as a child (with the implication that it would have been bad if I were).

Now that I say I have an immunodeficient family member at home, people smile knowingly and say, “oh, well you do what you have to do,” and “my mom went through chemo. I remember how hard it was to do all the precautions” and “that’s so kind of you.”

if i tell someone i mask because i’m disabled, i’m assumed to be the weak link in our society, a burden to my family.

if i tell someone i mask to protect a disabled family member, i become the burdened, compassionate caretaker deserving of sympathy. how sad that i must limit myself to protect someone i love. how heroic that i choose to do so.

would you still like me even if i experienced emotions

There's a certain fear to being completely unable to mobilise without a mobility aid at all that I think it's hard for even other disabled people not in the same boat to understand. If something happened to my crutch I would at best be able to hop for a few steps (or more accurately what I like to call the zombie walk, because my left leg kind of just drags behind me) and that would more than likely just end in a faceplant. For non-ambulatory wheelchair users it would be much, much worse. I would not theoretically still be able to get home or to safety regardless of pain or difficulty or amount of time it would take, I would be stranded. That's something that is always in the back of your mind when you are out alone. Mobility aids break, they can be stolen if you aren't using them. So much rests on an object that isn't attached to your body.

big fan of digging myself deeper in the hole #myhole . wait hold on. hm. maybe not on that one. post cancelled

[milesnsmiles]

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

putting amerikkkan on a shelf until nonblacks globally know how to act stop using that phrase on black people literally use any other phrase u cannot be using phrases we create to talk about the specific violence we face from our white peers here in a way to imply we were the perpetrators of our own destruction all along its tone deaf and unintelligent, callous too but yall dont rlly care if ur needlessly mean to black people bc that ofcourse is the intention when u misuse words like that

a home youve outgrown, the fear that you havent changed at all. decided to overpaint the original piece from 2021 and add juno to the scene. felt only right, now that he has returned home

biggest L i've had to take from morning people is that the hours between 5 - 9 am really do have 7x as much time in them than the ones between 9 pm - 1 am and you can get your whole day's worth of shit done by noon
