Sold My Soul To The Pitt For A Band-Aid

For clarity, when I said "don't push yourself", I didn't mean "don't ever test your physical and emotional limits"; I just meant maybe the Costco parking lot is not the place to conduct that particular experiment.

You think I'm just memeing here, but the Costco parking lot is in fact the perfect place to meet people who feel strongly that the only way to prove their manhood is to attempt to do The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift moves with a shopping cart containing two hundred kilos of Diet Coke.

"this thing is rare and only affects 1% of the population" dude that's 80 million people can you shut up

"this thing is so rare, if you put everyone it affects on an island it would be the 20th most populated country in the world, more than the UK, more than South Korea, and more than Canada AND Australia AND Tunisia all put together. we can literally forget about it that's not many people"

putting this in the body just to piss anon off: its not that deep bro 💀

we should all put comments on here until this post is longer than Do You Love The Colour Of The Sky

Reblog and comment your favorite color

blue, like a green-blue or teal, but not bright like aquamarine, more like the colour of a glacier fed lake at sunset.

A nice scarlet or crimson, like a rich blood red (but not oxblood because that's too brown, which I felt personally betrayed by as a child).

Blue, all shades of it but mostly the deep blue of the ocean. Or the blue of clear summer sky.

I have a deep love for purple. Like, royal, rich, vibrant purple. It's just so beautiful. Second fave is red but I don't know which shade. Just not the red they have in target stores. That job has ruined that red for me.

anon I know I blocked you but you seem like the kind of person who would make an alt account to check up on people who blocked you so I hope you see this post and it makes you punch a wall

this is the You Can Do What You Want post. your favourite colour can be the entire rainbow for all we care. it can be fuckin "Tuesday" if you want

My favorite color is the orange of the sun right before it slips under the horizon. Specifically the hyperbolically bright and saturated orange that no photograph can capture and no paint can replicate. and my favorite animal is hamsters

imagine a world where you never saw this cat because prev thought you weren't supposed to comment on posts. that's the world you want, anon. you monster.

your system members have some cool ass names

Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever

podcasts could have been so good but they decided to make the main genres True Crime and Men Talking. shut up shut up the public yearns for audio dramas

i do appreciate how tumblr LOVES podcasts that aren't what most people think of when they think "podcast." you people love strange and terrible things happening to queer & confused characters, and i respect that

Mandos be like “I found this war orphan on the battlefield” ok Vod and what were you doing on that battlefield 🤨 📸

If you're comfortable accusing anyone of faking disability, you're not a real ally to disabled people

australian sour patch kids have gluten in them i am truly at my fucking limit im crashing out im waging war against wheat idgaf anymore

oh is that one of those things where ableist companies put in traces of common allergens so they can just avoid the cost of making it safe

WHAT

I wonder if that’s part of the reason behind my seeing an upswing in products adding corn starch or corn flour to things that didn’t have those before? <- rhetorical question, because I’m certain that’s what’s going on.

And this is why we are fanatic label readers and food trackers because living in the US with a corn allergy would be bad enough but these fuckers gotta go pull shit like this.

You know why.

Cause racial health disparities…

I hope this gets published

Hey, if anyone’s curious, this IS making a serious impact — this handbook was taught as standard practice for my EMT license course, as well as several other programs. A lot of new providers are being taught this as a matter of course.

If your character has a chronic illness or chronic pain please understand that they have already made peace with a version of their life that other people would find unbearable. They are not constantly in crisis. They have adapted. They have systems. They know their body in a way healthy people never have to. They are also exhausted in a way that doesn't show and angry sometimes in a way they feel they're not allowed to be. Write that competence and that exhaustion together. Both are true at the same time.

no more historic events this decade that is ENOUGH, i’m putting my foot down

History is not done with us yet my friend

I have received all manner of threat, up to and beyond “I will play a flute carved from your femur,” and yet this is the first time I’ve felt truly threatened

i knew posting this in 2022 was risky but holy fucking shit

Are you currently suffering from The Character?

I got told by a -medical geneticist- that it was extremely unlikely for someone to have both celiac and EDS because both were so uncommon so therefore I probably didn't have both, despite clear physical evidence to the contrary. I pointed out that there's enough people out there that even with low incidence of both, even assuming there was no link, statistically there were going to be people with both just by basic probability and that 'rare' didn't mean 'doesn't happen. I also pointed out I had 2 younger half-sibs with celiac and a cousin with celiac, T1D, and EDS-h, so odds are that no it wasn't as unlikely as she thought especially given that kind of family history.....She did not in fact care for my attitude. I didn't care for her lack of understanding of her own job, so the feeling was mutual.

Lol I definitely have both.

The 'tism and fibromyalgia and food allergies to corn and all its by products (plus more) and IBS and MCAS. So yeah, it's definitely possible, my friends.

i must say, i am a huge fan of when a book is in the middle of a very exciting plot containing many interesting problems when out of nowhere for a few pages it's like, "hey by the way, real quick, here's a detailed explanation of the city's water filtration system! i'm telling you this for a reason and you should worry about it. anyway! haha okay back to the plot" and you just get to be Scared for a while
