Monody

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

So today I tripped. Fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. My service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if I have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (were training him to do more to care for me, but we didn’t learn I had epilepsy until a year after we got him)

I went after him after I had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and I found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. She was swatting him away and telling him to go away. So I feel like I need to make this heads up

If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help

And honestly? I shouldn’t anyway. You can literally make the opposite argument: that it’s wrong to hide your past. If we all keep pretending that ideological purity is possible and erasing the journeys we’ve gone though to learn from mistakes and become better, more educated people I feel like that does more harm than good.

The stories you hear of people dying from rationing, this is what happens to their body.

Affordable insulin isn’t just a right, it’s a necessity.

This is the goddamn overliteralism curse again.

No people are not literally growling like animals when they talk, no kisses do not literally taste like thunderstorms, no someone touching you gently does not literally have hands made of velvet, grow an imagination or get off AO3.

1: is autistic

2: cannot smell flowers

and 3: doesn't kiss

That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.

"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.

…Fast forward to arc 3 and the time travel incident. You meet Nagi and learn that he was never the hero legends claimed he was. In fact, Susano through his hero's journey became a much greater man than the one whose shadow he felt smothered by. And because of the existing parallels, you start thinking maybe it's the same for you. But no. Because then you see Shiranui in all her majesty, and you are awed. And you go "Oh shit. That's not just me. That's something far greater than I am.". Okami White Light Majesty plays. You look at the pure power and radiance and feel unworthy of it. Especially after you later get in over your head and Shiranui sacrifices herself to bail you out. Who are you? A knock-off who screwed everything up. You run around and get called a god, but the real Amaterasu died for your failure.
