The Dresden Files takes place during the modern day so the wizard main character has to deal with getting shot at a lot.

If you see the white fat appear on the sides pull it immediately.

Grog, digging through a bag of M&Ms: Vax really likes the yellow ones, so I’m separating them out

Scanlan: That’s actually kind of sweet

Grog: Huh? No, I’m mad at Vax. I’m collecting them so that I can eat them in front of him and not give him any

Scanlan:

Grog:

This is perfect!!

like, let me give an example with my mother. me: “any form of physical activity makes my symptoms worsen.” her: “have you tried gentle stretching? that could be helpful—“ me: “no, that doesn’t help. that counts as physical activity.”

and we just keep going back and forth.

i tell someone my symptom and they give advice without considering whether it will be actually helpful — or if i’ll even be able to do it.

and everyone does this. my mother, my father, pretty much any doctor i’ve met, random adults who find out about The Symptoms, etc.

Obviously I don’t know you or your family situation but if my kid was suffering and I didn’t know how to help I would be beside myself and throwing every solution I have at the problem in the hopes that one of them would ease their suffering.

Well maybe I don’t WANT to work double as hard as abled people!! Maybe I deserve a BREAK!! Maybe I’ve been working MORE THAN double as hard for MY WHOLE LIFE and it’s led me to immense burnout & caused me to develop several MORE disabilities!! Maybe I should be ACCOMMODATED so I don’t have to KILL MY BODY AND BRAIN over trying to do what abled people can do!! Maybe I DON’T have to work double as hard!! Maybe if there’s the option to let me NOT work double as hard, I should have it, because I’m already working double as hard JUST TO SURVIVE!!

“No why would I do that, that sounds awful.”
