[cobra-creampuff]

the fact that they made it illegal to make ads louder than programs on tv in 2010 but haven't updated it to apply the same regulation to streaming. who do i have to call.

finds character i relate to immensely, immediately starts projecting

gentle reminder that human health does not fit into a binary system and nothing is ever really fully a mental or physical disability

stress can have significant effects on physical health, more than you'd think

and the basis of any mental disability is still physical, that's why it's possible to develop medications for it

Knowledge is a blessing because you can put it in your fanfics, and a curse because you can't ignore when other fanfics get it wrong. And also for other reasons I suppose.

Telling people that they don't have a disorder that is highly mis-characterized and largely misunderstood because they don't present as the dude from Split is wildddddddd

idk if I’ve ever said this on here before but I have epilepsy (haven’t had a tonic clonic seizure since I was 16, knock on wood) but a couple of times a year when I don’t get enough sleep or I’m stressed I will feel really “seizurey” for lack of a better word, I can feel the electrical energy in my brain and I get this awful feeling of impending doom. yeah feeling that today :(

The motherfucker who decided that the new building at my school desperately needed a hundred foot tall, enormously bright, constantly blinking and flashing LED screen inside the building in a place where unless you are on the third floor you literally cannot avoid seeing it (in the form of reflections if you're lucky, with your eyes if you are not) should be, and I mean this, fucking shot

Realized last night that my epilepsy that seemed to onset last October has actually been happening my entire life, my family just thought it was really bad night terrors or sleep walking. And as a teenager I thought I just got stuck sometimes and also that I was being haunted by 3 ghosts and that two of them wanted to kill me. reframing_my_entire_life.exe ×͜×

I know van gogh had epilepsy, and the reason for the sunflowers is because he took too much foxglove, and every time I see sunflowers and van gogh, it just feels like a little wave; that I'm not the only person who has suffered epilepsy in silence. It feels what I assume others feel when they see their little symbols for whatever cause or disability. Like a sense of unity and friendship. If I must suffer, at least I can think of van gogh and the sunflowers.

i love my classical studies teacher... bro bought chainmail armour for no reason, let us hold it to see how heavy it is, put it on, and then got stuck in it and had to leave the class to get another teacher to help him take it off 😭

[theradicalace]

does this xfinity ad flash fast as fuck for anyone else or is my app just glitched to shit

[laxsland]

Reblogging again because this is VITALLY important!

Just in case

[chaossmagic]

bucky and yelena better have a little sister/big brother relationship in thunderbolts* or what is even the point of anything

[foldingpaperflowers]

Absolutely love my dog, but very sad that he's sick on the first day in like a month I've been able to plan to get groceries

[srirachaz]

one of my favorite stupid things about the shitty c-list cdramas i watch (and tbh it shows up in some of the nicer quality ones too) is when a character has some kind of incurable terminal disease that modern medicine is failing can be easily remedied with...

needles. like acupunture.

i think it's bc authors know jack and shit about medicine and can't be bothered/aren't paid enough by webnovel sites or drama producers to research specific illnesses and their treatments but it takes me out every time.

it makes sense in like...wuxia or xianxia, but when it's a modern drama it fuckin kills me. bonus points if the "modern" doctors are listening to wrist heartbeats to diagnose things like literal cancer or if there are magic chinese medicine pills that are complete cure-alls, OR if the "modern doctors" are surgeons (of all specialities, obviously) as well as general practitioners as well as specialists as well magically being renowned experts in chinese medicine and/or are like...nationally known but anonymous Secret Doctors or Magic Doctors or what-have-you.

Save Youssef and Nour

This is Nour, a seven-year-old girl from Gaza. Before the genocide, she was like any other girl her age. Her first year of school was about to begin. She was excited; her parents had just bought her a brand-new backpack and she couldn't wait to show it off!

Just two weeks into her first school year, Israel launched its genocidal offensive on Gaza. Nour's education, along with her childhood, came to an abrupt end.

This is how Nour, and her brother Youssef (12), are living now:

Despite months of campaigning, Youssef and Nour's parents have only managed to raise a little over €7,000. With temperatures already dropping, they're increasingly worried about how they will survive another winter in Gaza. The tent they're living in leaks when it rains, and Salah, the father of the family, has been struggling to secure medicine for his epilepsy.

Initially, the family started the fundraiser with hopes of rebuilding. However, after multiple displacements and several near-death experiences, they’ve made the difficult decision to begin saving for an evacuation.

If you can, please consider donating so that Youssef and Nour may have some small semblance of security again!
