Fainting goat! I’ve got POTS, she a dizzy hoe.

But goats are also trouble makers and energetic - adhd bitch

Lots of salt, she craves that mineral

Everyone on tumblr has Conditions. maladies. I log onto tumblr and my mutuals are unwellposting. Conditions I didn't even know existed and sound like dark curses but I will see a post from friend like "died about 60% today, fine now. Made egg on toast #yummytoast". There are so many people in this world with life experiences

Btw, you don’t have to go to a big pride parade to celebrate pride.

Coming from someone who crashes out over being too hot and has a social battery of two hours on a good day, pride parades are as unattractive as a social event can be for me. And that says a lot.

Celebrating pride at home with a small group of friends or even just watching some gay movies alone in your room is equally as valid as going to every pride parade that has ever been held.

You’re not being a bad queer for not going to pride. You’re not a bad queer for being unable to celebrate pride.

Whether you are disabled or physically incapable of going to pride or you’re just like me and really hate heat and crowded places, celebrating pride is different for everyone and anyway you celebrate is valid.

It's almost like something happened in 2020-now that is causing these problems.

disabled people are worth the extra effort it takes to accommodate them. it's worth going the longer route together that's wheelchair accessible. it's worth the time and effort to research places to eat that work with specific allergies or food intolerances. and it's worth the price if those places or that food is more expensive. it's worth going further to buy something gluten-free or nut free or dairy free for your party or get together. it's worth adding extra travel time, or planning an overnight stay instead of a day trip. it's worth learning how to administer medication for people who need it. it's worth learning how to call ahead to check if somewhere is accessible. it's worth the whole friend group going to the film screening with captions even if only 1 person needs it. disability often means having to do more work, more planning, take up more space, more money, more time. it's false to say it's as easy as having an abled companion, but that effort is worth taking. it's not wasted because it's all spent in favour of a disabled person, and that's always worthwhile

I’m chronically ill, and my life will always be a little different from others’. But that doesn’t make me worth any less than people who are able bodied. That doesn’t mean I don’t get to dream. That doesn’t mean I am defeated.

Doctor calls you with your bloodwork results and just says “I’m really mad at you” and then hangs up

I am a grown ass adult and I still get nausea when I feel like I'm in trouble. They're gonna send me to the principals office and take away my toys for a week. Can you just fucking kill me instead of making me stew in my fucking anxiety

This version of the progress flag legitimately looks so nice

Gilbert baker rainbow, huge intersex circle, the design is cluttered but in a good way 10/10
