"But we need to talk about how you shouldn't get to be lazy-" No we don't actually. Not when so many millions of disabled people are facing medical neglect, poverty, discrimination and abuse in the name of "defeating laziness"

Why do doctors expect you to be exactly on time for your appointment and then treat your appointment time like a suggestion

disabled people are often in permacrisis

there's never enough money each month. there's always an unexpected illness. new symptoms pop up or old symptoms flare up. meds have to be managed always and refilled constantly and any refill has the opportunity to go wrong. any regular care has the opportunity to go wrong. any mistake can send your health spiralling. it's always "i just need to get through this bad patch" but as soon as one ends another begins. another crisis begins in the middle of the last crisis. managing one thing leaves another thing to be neglected until that becomes a major issue and has to be managed asap and the cycle starts anew over and over and over

And you try to express to friends and family that it feels like the second you come up for air, another wave crashes down on you, again and again and again, and they say "yeah life is like that, isn't it?" But no, actually, your life is not like that. You have waves of work stress, relationship tensions, income uncertainty, busy schedules, an ankle sprain here, a cold there. We have that AND the condition flares, new symptoms, complex comorbidities, medication side effects, constant appointments, conflicting treatments, calling out of work, all the while doctors asking us to identify patterns between symptoms and flares and diet, lifestyle, sleep, mental health, new meds. But all you can really do when you're being tumbled underwater is desperately hope you have enough air left to make it through this one...

you solve the mystery of what to have for dinner one night and you think "hell yeah case closed forever" WRONG there is a dinner mystery the next night too

I’m gonna be so fr rn, yall gotta stop acting like women’s sports only contributions/offerings are 1) that most of the athletes are queer 2) some sort of “morally pure” version of the sport. you don’t realize that you’re doing it but you’re de-valuing them to a point of queerness + morality meter. which the latter is just insane when there are POS’ amongst women’s sports

“Don’t watch the NHL, watch the PWHL! They’re actually gay!” why is that the only selling point to you

turning replies off to this because yall are literally incapable of critical thinking

I also think that all the "um okay knives out & glass onion were good. Wrap it up now" posts are so funny. You're tripping if you think there's not going to be at least five Benoit Blanc films lol

What part of "the detective franchise is back babey" did you not get. There were 14 Poirot films and that's not counting the show which was a standard season for most of its run. 69 Columbo episodes. Like it or hate it you are going to be seeing Benoit Blanc until the day he stops making money and then some.

He hasn't even been on a train yet for fucks sake

HE HASN'T EVEN BEEN ON A TRAIN YET!!!!

The thing about world-famous detectives that's true both in character and out of character is that it's annoyingly difficult to make them go away.

arthur conan doyle found that out the hard way

sorry for becoming a shadow of my previous self, it’s hard to hold onto the things you love when you’re in survival mode for 15+ years
