yep, i’m still ME-posting!

so another young woman with severe ME is being denied basic sensory accommodations in an NHS hospital. carla’s parents have been advocating tirelessly for her and even taking turns physically shielding her from the unnecessary light that is causing seizures, pain, and loss of consciousness. if carla’s symptoms were unexplained then maybe i would understand why the hospital keeps trying to expose her to lights, but she’s literally diagnosed with very severe ME, where the body cannot adjust to sensory input, so forgive me for finding it evil and pointless to do the thing that makes her illness worse. this is the norm for how hospitals treat people with ME and it’s inescapable if you want to receive any medical care at all like the feeding tube that carla needs

Does anybody else feel like mental health awareness has done very little to help them in material reality

[virginyathevamp]

[orangeflowerpetals]

I’m tired of my body being stuck in permanent adolescence. Between a neverending gender swap cartoon episode and Peter fucking pan.

Fuck the nhs and their half a decade wait times

I should be starting to look like a man now, broken voice, growing facial hair, lots of body hair, big nose and shoulders.

But instead I have no choice but to keep looking like the 13 year old I haven’t been in almost ten years.

I want to go through puberty. I want to get to experience growing up.

I wish I wasn’t stuck like this until late twenties at the EARLIEST

MDZS Chapter 2 - The Intractable (apparently chapters 2-5(Aggression)) - Manhua Ch 2-12

Because I'm really going ahead and rereading... Alright.

Alright, again starting with the manhua here because holy shit does Mo Ziyuan just come in busting the door down with this! Oh man, what a guy.

I have nothing intelligent to say about this but oh boy.

"Go k-- oh you did. shit. damn."

So like two things I appreciate the manhua for in this page, which I've so, uh, cut up to show off. Number one, cute lil guys. That's a cute lil guy up there. And number two, the emotion in that face? Like it's not a big picture it's just like, a lil face but you can see it. It's a little more than just sad boy up there. Goes hard, like Mo Zixyuan bursting into the room.

"Adding frost to snow, something had upset Mo Xuanyu. When he returned home, it was as a madman. His mental state had been upended, as if he had been scared silly"

I'm keeping this quote. I'm not commenting on it or anything. Just putting it there.

"After Mo Xuanyu returned to his old home, he was bombarded with ridicule. This time, it seemed, the situation was unsalvageable. Unable to take this blow, Second Lady Mo was choked to death by her own unappeasable outrage."

Now this I feel I need to comment on? Mo Xuanyu's mother didn't die until after Mo Xuanyu was sent back home? She 'choked to death on outrage'? Is that a thing? I feel like that's not a thing.

There's a lot of exposition here, on Wei Wuxian and the Mo family but uh. That kinda stands out. To me. MXY was sent home to his mother, not just her relatives, like, she was there.

Oh, and number three thing I like about the manhua?

cutest. little. lans.

(also like. inspired choice to have sizhui be the one laughing here?)

"The boy hadn’t been this crazy when he first returned, so it was probably the family’s doing."

So, you mean, back when his mother was alive? Before she died of outrage? I've gone through this scene in a lot of adaptations (cql was the best for it ngl) but this Second Lady Mo conspiracy is drawing me in! I'm sorry!

“He knew he was my little cousin, but he still didn’t observe propriety and keep his distance, so who is the more shameless one here?! I don’t care if you don’t care about your reputation, but I still care about mine!! I STILL GOTTA FIND A GOOD MAN!!!”

Is it a problem if they're just cousins, maybe mo ziyuan really wanted to compromise him, I'm sure there's fanfic out there--

Mo Ziyuan/Mo Xuanyu is apparently not even a tag on AO3. Damn. I think I originally had a point to say about WWX here, but like WWX himself, I don't remember.

"Yet it just so happened that this spirit-attraction flag had unintentionally summoned something more terrifying than walking corpses. And it was precisely this unknown evil spirit that had killed Mo Ziyuan and robbed him of an arm!"

haha. Unintentionally. Yeah, want to take a second pass at that WWX?

(I'm certain it won't be the first time I ask that question, but as he does later take a second pass at it and it's clear canon that there's nothing unintentional here I'm gonna leave it at that. This time.)

"Wei Wuxian couldn’t take it anymore. He thought, After so many years, the Lan Family still acts this way. What’s the use of all that self-restraint unless you’re looking to suffocate yourselves? Watch me!"

I like it when he defends the little lans...

"Lan Jingyi and the others let out a breath, no longer looking as upset."

and the little lans like it too <3 How sweet.

"It wasn’t that this group of youths was slow to react; it was that the intruder was truly ferocious in nature. The cultivation sects had strict criteria for determining whether something was a “malicious ghost”: one was considered such if it killed once a month for up to three months consecutively. This was a criterion Wei Wuxian himself had set, and it was probably still in use now. Dealing with this type was his specialty, and based on what he’d seen, killing once every seven days would make this creature a malicious ghost that caused particularly frequent mischief. However, this thing had just killed three times in a row, and in a short time span too. Even accomplished cultivators would have been hard-pressed to come up with a counter strategy, never mind these novice juniors."

Yeah... Maybe I'll change my mind on this later but... The Nie are genuinely kind of just evil. Their cultivation method is bad and they should feel bad. Cultivate a righteous path. Don't do this shit. Don't become this shit. And yeah, that goes for both of them here tbh. Not giving Da-Ge a pass just because he's dead! He knowingly cultivated all of this resentment while he was alive!

The idea that NHS becomes Chief Cultivator after all of this is astounding. Guess his mom's not a prostitute though so it's fine.

Drawback to the manhua as an adaptation, you don't hear that iconic music cue when Hanguang-Jun appears. Sad.

I guess I don't have more to say (I have more to say but I shouldn't) so uh. Bonus cute Lan roundup?

[shoezuki]

My wrist is really fucked up today n it hurts like he'll but idk why. I hate it cuz like if I do something stupid then I can be like o ya won't do that again. But nah it jus wants to cause Pain.

[homeless202]

sorry if you already know this(in that case feel free to ignore this ask) but just wanted to let you know that Wanan's previous works, Welcome to Room #305 & HANA(I don't know if there's english translation of them?), featured several canon lgbt+ characters and I think there's a high chance some No Home characters will be textually lgbt+ in the epilogue or something. It's literally what Wanan did in HANA.

dw! i knew wtr305 had canon rep (a big part of the plot revolves around the roommate being gay) but ngl i started reading it and didn't get far bc the homophobia in the beginning really put me off. idk if it gets better later on but i can appreciate the plot of exploring the thought process and coming to terms with ppl being different from what the mc considers "normal" (aka how to accept ur male roommate likes men) <- but i'm saying this from the very limited knowledge i have of this comic tho so take it with a grain of salt.

as for hana, i wasn't sure if lgbt+ was a theme, i only knew it has traumatized children like nh, but if it does also have lgbt+ rep then i'll be even more excited to read it. (the translator of nh said in the nh discord server they'll translate hana once they're done with wtr305, so i'm looking forward to that👍)

that being said, fingers crossed marie confirms she likes women and juwan admits he likes hj a bit more than just a friend🤞

[phagodyke]

was brave and talked to my doctor abt my period bs + she said it might be endometriosis without me even having to bring it up... 💀

[riwrite]

been thinking a lot abt huaisang today and. characters like him are actually so important to me bc its so rare that a character being bad at school (or an equivalent to school, in his case) is presented fairly neutrally. like it's just a fact about him. it's completely separate from the useless act he puts up bc that whole thing comes later — like he definitely uses it to help that reputation later on, but he uses all of his behavior from when he was a teenager in that way. we know he's incredibly fucking clever, and that in no way translates to being good in school. and as someone who nearly didnt graduate high school 'on time' ( and frankly only did bc i was lucky enough to have a few teachers my senior yr who were very nice and understood how bad i was struggling ) and chose not to go to college bc it wouldve been too hard on me it's so nice seeing my struggles not presented as a moral failing for once yknow

it is getting so ridiculously hard to access doctor’s appointments. the booking line for my doc’s office opens at 8:30am so i call at exactly 8:30 only for my call to be rejected because they are already taking a call. they don’t even put me into a queue, the phone just forcibly cancels the call. the system at my local doctors is for patients to call over and over at the designated time slot until a staff member becomes available to pick up the phone. they don’t have a better system than that. for me this took about 25 redials over 15 minutes (not all my call attempts even fit in my screenshot). THEN i am finally placed on hold in a queue. they can’t tell you how many people are in the queue, they can only tell you it’s ‘more than 5’. i wait in the queue for 10 minutes, and when i finally get to talk to a person she says that all appointments are booked, and i cannot book an appointment for a future date. the only way to get an appointment is to call back the next time the line opens up again. so i will be doing this again soon

Maine family wants law changed after neighbor kills dog, hides body

BERWICK, Maine — Rachael Casagrande said she will work to change local and state animal cruelty laws after her parents’ dog, a 4-year-old husky named Rowdy, was legally shot and killed by a neighbor. The worst part, she said, is the neighbor, a man she and her husband know, tried to cover up the dog’s […]

NHS appeals for blood donors after ransomware cyber attack

The country’s top doctor has joined calls from NHS Blood and Transplant for blood group O Positive and O Negative donors to book appointments to donate urgently at one of the 25 donor centres in England to boost stocks of O-type blood following last week’s ransomware cyber attack against some of London’s hospitals. Donor emergency: the NHS’s blood stocks need topping up, urgently NHS England has…

it's very important to understand how a personality disorder diagnosis functions in the psychiatric system, even if you identify with the diagnosis or find it useful.

personality disorders on your medical record will be used to discredit anything you say or do. they indicate "don't bother listening to this person; apply treatment regardless of their wishes but also they're probably manipulating/attention-seeking so maybe don't bother treating them". needing support becomes attention-seeking. behaviors that would be treated + supported in someone without this diagnosis are ignored or treated as manipulative. providers are instructed to "withdraw warmth" (a real thing in the DBT provider's manual, btw) in response to self-injury or suicidal ideation.

if you have been dx'd with a personality disorder professionally, you likely understand this.

now, here's the important part: this is not an issue of 'stigma' against a politically neutral, pre-discursive True Disease which is being Unfairly Maligned. these diagnoses were formulated based on the idea that some patients cannot be trusted, that some patients seek care too much. they are applied to patient charts as a justification for withdrawing care or as a dismissal of someone "not getting better" fast enough. in the uk, they are often employed by the nhs to shame or problematize people who use large amounts of nhs resources, arguing that receiving a lot of care through the nhs is a negative behavior stemming from a disordered personality.

there are elements of personality disorders which resonate strongly with many people, including myself, but you need to be clear-eyed about the origins + functions of this diagnosis. as a whole, they were created + function as ways to discredit + mistreat noncompliant or "difficult" patients. 'reclaiming' them is not going to change how they function systematically- it is going to make it easier to engage in this systematic neglect by evoking 'ableism' or 'stigma!' when people question the utility or application of the diagnosis.
