#and a dash of fatigue

[themathomhouse]

this disability pride month, stop making jokes about people in wheelchairs standing up or walking.

can I stand and walk? sure, for a short while and with pain. the consequences for trying to be out all day without a wheelchair are that I'll be in bed for the rest of the week, too tired and in too much pain to move.

but the government won't give me my own wheelchair because they have the same attitude as these jokes - I can stand up, so I don't need one. exercise is good for you, you should walk!

it keeps me trapped in the house, unable to do anything more than short stints anywhere without borrowing or hiring a wheelchair - one that causes me pain to sit in and relies on someone to push me (usually with difficulty), because they're not going to have a high-end chair for that sort of thing.

it's not a miracle that a wheelchair user can stand or walk. it's something we should aspire to see more often.

on my really bad fatigue days, even getting from the bed to the fridge feels like running ten miles. sometimes i can’t even lift things or do my hobbies cause i am just so tired. so i imagine as a tiny i would live inside the giant’s walls, but on my bad days i would make a little tent out of an envelope and set up camp direct on the kitchen counter. a brief walk away from food and water. if i’m in the way? the giant can fuckin deal. i’m too tired to move or care. and NO you CANNOT open my envelope tent to get out your water bill, that is MY HOME NOW and you wouldn’t make a poor fatigued tiny homeless now would you?? would you??? leave me be. and leave the strawberries out on the counter. good day, sir.

Got through the Madness enough to do final edits on our Day 5 fill. Edited & polished version of the selkie Astotheles fic to be posted whenever we can get our beta reader around to it.

ok but actually and genuinely that "rb and tag with something Good that happened today" post is like. Really good. I wanna keep seeing it! Its not the same to just make a post about some small good thing that happened to you. Ykwim. It becomes its own isolated entity. Like. Its a shared experience of a post! Makes yu stop and think...+ Makes me happy to see ppl mentioning stuff that made em happy in my activity as well

And even then ill see tags like "well my day SUCKED but xyz happened" like. Yes. Me too. The day may not have been good but we conjure up that One Thing because of da post. (Bc honestly, it's different to make yourself do it, or have a person directly ask you to think of a good thing that happened to you. Feels forced. Inorganic. But the Post lets you interact with it or ignore it as you wish. But even then if you don't reblog it you still have to think about your day and try to conjure up that one thing... Do u understand my vision.)

Jennifer Brea’s documentary ‘Unrest’ about myalgic encephalomyelitis is now available to watch in full for free on YouTube. Please consider watching. We need people to learn the truth of this illness and help us to advocate for more funding for research so we can find effective treatments and hopefully a cure. This illness is woefully underfunded in respect to the disease burden, and patients are routinely disbelieved, neglected and mistreated. The vast majority of patients also happen to be women.

I'm sorry to anyone who's followed me for MASH or Gunsmoke (or Star Wars) (or Zelda) (,,,, or Hetalia or LotR cause I know some of y'all are somehow still here) (and I love you for that) but I'm low key about to become a superbat blog and I love all y'all for sticking with me through my spiraling this week

A reminder that while I don't really ever tag anything aside from my Ewan McGregor simping and the tag/ask games, I do tag my liveblogs, and once I get the various DVDs from the library and once I can convince my dad to turn off the football for two hours which lbr might not happen lmao (affectionate) I do fully intend on liveblogging those movies/shows. The tag is just liveblogging and I do try to pin a post before I start that for anyone who doesn't already have the tag blacklisted

Thanks to everyone for being so supportive of my covid spiral here, because honestly I was super embarrassed about this when it started five days ago and genuinely I love all y'all for being the kindest, most wonderful people ever and being so so kind to me despite what I'm putting across y'alls dashes. It means the galaxy to me, really and truly, and thank you <3333

And to the anon who's studying me like a bug: I hope I haven't spiders goerg'd your data too badly ! This is just how it goes with me, but the good news is I never leave a fandom once I've fixated on a new one! Once if I'm done fixating we'll go back to our regularly scheduled programming :) hopefully
