A chronic babes meet up for two looks like: Having to switch restaurants because the menu is just loaded with allergens, and your bodies aren't feeling it. But not without explaining to the manager that hummus plates are great appetizers, but they are not entrees. All the while resisting the urge to say that American hummus is exceptionally mediocre and usually an experiment of the hipster imagination. Jade (@terrynred) getting her meal comped at the second restaurant cause they didn't tell her it had cheese and me literally going "lucky bitch!" Talking about how holding space for yourself & engendering other people to do the same in the name of community care is a skill, a perpetual negotiation, an exercise in patience, and prolly the best way to put meditation into practice How comfy shoes are the most expensive and hard to come by, and typically ugly as sin. Our perpetual struggles with the medical industrial complex, and how we treat ourselves to shit to cope A whole lot of laughter over pasta and sweet drinks #chronicpain #chroncillness #chronicbabes (at Oak Park, Illinois)
