I don't mask very well.

When the character is isolated and touch-starved its a delightful and fun thought experiment but when YOU are isolated and touch-starved it is an experience best suited for the punishments doled out in Hell

Okay so to elaborate on my previous post, yeah, I did in fact pack up everything I own + 1 mildly disgruntled housecat, leave all the friends I'd made (didn't even realize what I had until I had to leave ...) and move across the country because I got into paramedic school in Megatropolis. Yes it's a culture shock. Yes everything's way more expensive than in Yeehaw County, except weirdly tofu which is about a dollar cheaper (more vegetarians and vegans I guess). Yes I know I'm crazy but I need this education. School starts to morrow wish me luck.

I bring a real 'actually people who are pregnant do deserve some special consideration because they are effectively at least temporarily disabled if not permanently after some complications' vibe to the party that a lot of people don't seem to like

There is a point at which I have to sigh heavily and ask people to a, read the actual words of the post, but also, I guess, b, clarify that it was made by yours truly, a disabled person (though admittedly not a pregnant one)

it's wild how lack of willingness to show large amounts of your naked body in public is conflated with a discomfort or insecurity about said body. like obviously if people are motivated by those things that's also fine but it's like. "if you like your body you should want to wear as small a swimsuit as possible; the only reason to get """modest""" swimwear is if you're insecure or have religious motivations" so it's weird feeling like nah my body is awesome I just don't want every rando at the municipal pool to have visual access to it? lol. how I feel about my body is unrelated to whether strangers have a right to view it

So can non-disabled people stop doing that thing where they act like it’s morally righteous to force yourself to work while you’re sick and assume taking sick days automatically equates to laziness. Any time now. That’d be great
