Chronically Alive, Recurrently Living

Medicine does not belong in the medicine cabinet in a bathroom. Heat and humidity from baths and showers can weaken and/or destroy medication's potency. The "medicine cabinet" should be used for shit like nail clippers and sewing kits and Band Aids and Q-Tips.

Don't store your meds in the bathroom.

Don't store your meds in the bathroom.

Don't fuckin' store your fuckin' meds in the fuckin' bathroom.

hello all!  you may have seen some of these designs floating around here for a while now and I’m pleased to say I FINALLY have an etsy shop up! all my old sticker designs you’ve seen around here and more new ones!  https://www.etsy.com/shop/HateKillRepeat

they are going to be CLOSED OVER THE HOLIDAYS and so will the DOCTORS WHO SIGN YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS.

It is broken and they don’t have a choice

They have conducted a risk/benefit analysis and realized it would be more work to bring it (non-accessible venue, not going too far, no extra baggage to carry) 

They cannot transport it properly

They are with a trusted person who can help them if they need it

A unique, short-term injury prevents mobility aid use

They Ubered or drove in and got to cut the commute

They started a new medication that allows them more freedom

They are scared of how people may judge them for their physical attributes (overweight, “looking healthy”)

They are with someone that restricts access to their mobility aid, or makes them feel unsafe using it

They are going to an interview and don’t want to disclose their disability 

Their physical therapy regimen requires some unassisted exercise and this was the only suitable time

They are having a “good” day

and I cannot stress this enough

Wanna manifest what you want?

I can also use it even when I don’t have pain, using it when I’m dizzy and off balance is totally valid :)

I have each students pretend they got hurt and need a band-aid. Children love band-aids. I ask the first one where they are hurt. If he says his finger, I put the band-aid on his finger. Then I ask the second one where they are hurt. No matter what that child says, I put the band-aid on their finger exactly like the first child. I keep doing that through the whole class. No matter where they say their pretend injury is, I do the same thing I did with the first one.

After they all have band-aids in the same spot, I ask if that actually helped any of them other than the first child. I say, “Well, I helped all of you the same! You all have one band-aid!” And they’ll try to get me to understand that they were hurt somewhere else. I act like I’m just now understanding it. Then I explain, “There might be moments this year where some of you get different things because you need them differently, just like you needed a band-aid in a different spot.” 

the best time to grieve is when it spites the people who tell you not to

“[x people] MUST reblog this” 2/10 I was already going to until you said that

“if you can’t reblog this we can’t be mutuals” 5/10 kinda funny because the person who added that is usually a complete rando. Still probably unfollowing whoever put this on my dash though

“you can reblog this actually” 1/10 no shit, sherlock. Did adding that to the post make you feel good, or something???

“people who like this post but don’t reblog it are all hypocrites looking for woke points” 8/10 extra points for creativity and for actually riling me up. That’s really not how tumblr likes work btw
