was talking to a diabetic friend the other day and i told him that i don't think i'd consider my moderate chronic pain 'disabling', just because i have a high pain tolerance, so it rarely stops me from doing anything, it just causes a lot of pain while i do that thing

and he asks if i'd consider his diabetes a disability, because for him it doesn't usually mean he can't do anything, it just means he can't do stuff the same way non-diabetics can

i thought abt it for a second, then i said "yeah, because even if you can do the same stuff, it comes at a cost. and there's other stuff you've gotta do and keep track of"

"yeah. your chronic pain's the same way. you can do the same stuff, but the pain and rest later, that's the cost"

anyway i thought that was a good outlook on moderate chronic pain and impostor syndrome or whatever

sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and put "text your friend whom you love and genuinely want to talk to" on your to-do list because otherwise it is not getting done

Mandatory acne, freckles, vitiligo, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, warts etc havers appreciation post. Clear skin is overrated as hell, and honestly the shit that we get for having a simple skin condition is crazy. No, you don’t look like a witch or a cow or any of that. You look like you. And you are beautiful no matter your skin.^^

wishing you all a pain and irritation free day!

Not enough people are talking about Mr. Loverman on bbc. This show has:

Two elderly black men in love

Tale about internalized homophobia

Caribbean culture in England and in Antigua

Family dynamics and intergenerational relations

Great acting

A touching story

Is based on a book (I haven't read it yet, but I heard great things)

I won't tell you more because I don't want to spoil it.

Granted, it's not a perfect show, but it is sweet and you should definitely give it a try.

“The judge’s order makes it clear that we cannot judge a book by its cover or a maliciously selected excerpt out of context,” said Stephana Ferrell of the Florida Freedom to Read Project. “This means that the thousands of books that have been prohibited from student access without careful consideration of their value should be returned to shelves immediately. Florida cannot call itself the “freest state” while it blatantly violates the First Amendment rights of our youngest citizens.” Dan Novak, attorney for the plaintiffs, called the decision “a complete knockout. There’s not a single issue that the court did not side with the plaintiffs on,” per the Orlando Sentinel.

Fuck it, shout out to people who take longer to do things or have to do stuff slower than the average person.

Shout out to people who need extra time on tests.

Shout out to people who take longer to internalize information.

Shout out to people who take longer to talk.

Shout out to people who walk slowly, or take longer to get from one place to another.

Shout out to people who take longer to form connections with others.

Shout out to people who write slowly.

Shout out to people who read slowly.

Shout out to people who need extra time to rest between activities.

Shout out to people who can only do so much in a day.

Shout out to people with low dexterity that makes them do things slower.

Shout out to people who in some way have been deemed “slow”.

I see you, I hear you, and I will gladly wait for you if you want me to. I see effort you put in. I’m sorry that you have to be rushed so much. I hope that you can have the time you need, and that you get a support system that understands. You deserve to be able to exist at your pace.

And to the rest of yall, please for the love of fuck be patient. We are doing our best. We are going as fast as we can.

A few years ago while trying to find ways to commit suicide as painlessly as possible, I came across a PDF of Dr. Paul Quinnett's The Forever Decision. Thinking it might go into actual methods of suicide (I read an article once that actually did that and was trying to find it again) I started to read it, and I think I only got about two pages in before I was crying too much to actually see the words.

I downloaded the PDF to my hard drive and I open it again whenever I'm feeling too suicidal to do much else, but not enough to start booking a ride to the hospital. And every time without fail I only go up to a few pages before backing off and choosing to live another day just because suicide suddenly seems even more unbearable than whatever the hell upset me in the first place.

All the book really does is [I'm pulling a summary from GoodReads here as, again, I've read no more than 5 pages] "discusses the social aspects of suicide, the right to die, anger, loneliness, depression, stress, hopelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, the consequences of a suicide attempt, and how to get help."

But it also starts with the author kindly asking the reader to complete the book before going through with anything, and for some reason I'm compelled to really just try to read it all before finalizing everything. Despite not yet completing it (hopefully never will) I think I can safely say it's saved my life at least a few times now.

It's intentionally legal to copy and redistribute this book to keep it as accessible as possible, and it's very easy to find, but here's a link for it anyways.

Is there an offline app that's a to-do list, but there's no mandatory set deadline for any of the tasks, and you can constantly rearrange the tasks by priority?

Genuinely asking, I struggle with decision paralysis and all the detriments of ADHD, so a way to have everything I want to do be easily re-arrageable whenever I get a new objective would help me so much. I get stuck just trying to figure out what to do first, and I sometimes end up not doing ANYTHING on my list besides maybe basic self-care. I really need this.

RB for reach? Please?
