Hey this is a gofundme for my mom's dog, he has glaucoma in his eyes and needs medicine.
He was originally my grandma's dog when I was 12 before my grandma passed away. I know it will break my mom's heart if anything happens to him. You don't have to donate but spreading can help a lot.
I drew Caranthir in color this time! I’m pretty happy with how it turned out^^ I didn’t feel like shading it or rendering it fully though, I may do that later.
My version of Caranthir has Sturge Weber Syndrome, and he has a port wine birthmark and glaucoma (and is blind) as a result of that. His glaucoma is also why I made his eyes redder and hazy. I made him blind because I wanted to explore the idea of a blind Fëanorian, especially because the Fëanorians would likely place a high value on eyesight and visual beauty. He is still loved and accepted, but it must be difficult not to feel alienated being blind in a family that values sight so highly. His blindness was progressive, and I imagine it became obvious that his eyesight was deteriorating when he was the elf equivalent of 5-8. When he was an adolescent it got to the point where he had to admit he was blind (and I imagine he started to use a cane or let people guide him around that time), and by the time he was fully matured he couldn’t see at all. At first, his inability to see the silmarils meant that he didn’t really understand what all the fuss was about, but when he touched them he could feel the power and light they radiated and he understood completely. He’s just as affected as the rest of the Fëanorians.

If I have to read another infographic telling me to “go for a drive” whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed, or to “travel somewhere new” when I’m in a funk, I’m going to scream.
Not all of us can drive. Not all of us can safely navigate new places.
"Self-care” advice is always centered around abled people and I’m tired of it.
I know there's never going to be a one-size-fits-all solution, but can we get more “self-care” advice for people who can’t easily leave their homes? Or people who can’t leave their homes at all? What about people who can’t even leave their beds?
Never seeing disabled people's limitations considered in "self-care" discussions is frustrating. It makes me feel like a lost cause when I'm not able to find “self-care” solutions that work within the limits of my disability.
Eye-dentity
Every actor wants the lead, but without supporting cast and backstage crew, the show could not go on. A study has identified a director in the developing eye, guiding key casting decisions to keep everything running smoothly. Smarcc1 acts as a switch, directing developing cells to become astrocytes – essential support cells that allow neurons to shine. The team found that mice without Smarcc1 developed progressive vision decline and a malformed optic nerve head, as crucial cells failed to switch their identity to astrocytes. They observed Smarcc1 (green in a mouse eye at birth, left) associated with early progenitor cells, while a related protein, Smarcc2 (red, right), was more prominent in more mature cells, fine-tuning development. The optic nerve head is a major site of damage in glaucoma, and Smarcc1 is part of a complex involved in several human disorders, so understanding these dynamics could have real implications for human health.

I have an open appointment at the Emergency Eye Clinic today, after the opticians found "swelling or inflammation" on my optic nerve on Monday. They initially didn't explain that and just said they were referring me due to an issue I have had since 2019 - I get vision like I've crossed my eyes and the sensation in the eye muscles like I've crossed my eyes, but my eyes stay looking straight. That still needs looking at, and I'll bring it up fully today, but it's not their main concern. After talking on the phone the following day, they explained the inflammation/swelling and suggested it needed to be properly investigated.
There are two possibilities - glaucoma (increased eye pressure), or the Rheumatoid Arthritis has "found my eye" and can/will eventually destroy it.
Neither option sounds great, but the glaucoma (if early enough) can be managed/treated with drops or medication. Never in my life did I think I'd be crossing my fingers for glaucoma. But I'd rather that, which is more likely able to be managed, than the RA damaging the eye because the two instances I've read on/know about that the people lost their eye.
So...wish me luck as I sit at the hospital for hours!

Weeknight dinner: Pesto Spinach Ramen with Chickpeas, Olives, and Tomatoes. A good meal for managing normal tension glaucoma.
