9: Listening to Your Body: A Compassionate Approach to the Leg Press for Post-Viral ME/CFS
When living with Post-Viral ME/CFS, it’s essential to remind ourselves that our journey with exercise is not measured by how much we do, but by how gently we honor the unique rhythms of our bodies. This is especially true when it comes to engaging in physical activities like the Leg Press Machine. Today, we’ll explore how to mindfully approach this exercise in a way that supports both your…

We NEED to reevaluate how we view people with "red flags" that don't actually indicate harm to anyone. Things like "doesn't like animals," "doesn't have pets," "my pets immediately distrust them, so that means they're Secretly Evil."
I have a psychotic disorder. I suffer from flat affect. I have zero control over how I am emoting, and very often my emotional readout is completely blank. A LOT of animals (dogs especially) have exhibited aggression and fear around me ever since this started. (There are only TWO dogs I've met in the last five years that didn't BITE ME.) Dogs are unsettled by me because of a symptom of my psychosis--a condition that is out of my control that IS NOT DANGEROUS and doesn't harm anyone.
I also have a severe autoimmune disease and severe allergies to basically all animals. Whenever I tell people I can't come over because they have pets, or I don't have/want pets of my own, the IMMEDIATE response I always get is "why don't you like animals?" So I'm always pretty pissed off when I have to say, "I'm severely allergic. Don't fucking assume I have an undesireable quality just because I'm not a pet owner."
Another ableist red flag we need to talk about is "has no other friends/all their friends break up with them." Hi. I'm physically disabled with a digestive disease and a degenerative disease in my spine. That means my dietary restrictions are stupid and I can't sit/stand/walk for more than 15 minutes without being in pain. Most of the friends I break up with, I do so BECAUSE THEY ARE INCREDIBLY ABLEIST TO ME with no visible potential of changing. From people relentlessly harrassing me about lifestyle changes to not accepting correction or feedback when I tell them "hey, you CAN'T do x because it triggers y condition." If they argue or blow me off, I'm not their fucking friend!
Tl;dr: Disabled, chronically ill, and people with "scary" mental illnesses are often lumped in with "bad people" for characteristics that hurt no one and aren't in their control. Stop using "my dog is uncomfortable around them" as a litmus test for everyone you hang out with.
#chronic illness#disabled#disability#chronic pain#ableism#saneism#not to mention that its literally dangerous for disabled and psychotic people to be isolated and demonized.#its not just that no one want to be my friend. its that people are that much closer to putting me in danger because i dont fit-#-their standard of a 'good person.'

"i wish i could unmask wherever i went." "i wish i was visibly disabled."
Okay, fine.
Do you also wish you were pulled out of class and asked if you've taken illegal substances because you weren't masking?
Do you wish you were just not allowed in class sometimes because of your symptoms being disruptive?
Do you wish parents would pull their children away from you because you walk funny and make weird noises?
Do you wish your parents got sympathy glances whenever youre out in public with them?
Do you wish all this? Or do you wish you were more accepted by society?
EDIT: i think im not very good at explaining myself, this post is targeted at people who say "i wish i was visibly disabled" and then go on to deny that visibly disabled people experience a lot of ableism and danger because of it. this isn't targeted at people who wish they didnt have to hide themselves.
#i cannot mask at all. i have brain damage. i cant pretend my brain is intact because it isnt and wont be#it makes me so upset when i see ppl say they wish they could unmask everywhere because masking is a normal social behaviour to an extent#everyone modifies their behaviour to an extent to fit the scenario#but some people cant judge situations or change their gait or change their speech impediments even if it gets them in trouble#neurodiverse#neurodiversity#neurodivergent#neurospicy#neurodiverse stuff#masking#autism#autism masking#adhd#brain damage#brain injury#tbi survivor#disabled#disability#chronically ill#chronic illness#cripplepunk#cpunk#neuropunk#physical disability#physically disabled#disabilties#invisible illness#invisible disability

Got called ableist for calling an abled “abled”, you know— what they actually are
Ableds are so weak and feel threatened all the time by disabled people even though they devalue and dehumanize us and I am 100% convinced that they wouldn’t last a second with actual genuine ableism and the physical or verbal assault that follows it. all they care about is how their poor abled feelings get broken so easily that they literally might as well be my knees at that point bc they just whine and bitch about anything that has to do with disabled people and especially cripples and they’re never happy with a disabled person living their lives
If you’re not physically disabled, you are abled. Period.
#personal#Im heated#whiny little bitch#how many of y’all can fit in that god damn clown car#you’re literally so weak and I guarantee you couldn’t handle it#I hate ableds#“but I’m neurodivergent” AM I TALKING ABOUT YOU?#ableism#cripple punk#every little thing we do is criticized by them#disabled#chronic pain#chronic illness

bit of translation+parsing through the shooting scene
saw someone say they didnt know it was a model gun so yeah. gun's not real guys free my boy he did nothign wrong
so the insomnia mv was edited together in a purposefully ambiguous way, with scenes that are nonchronological or metaphorical, representing fuchi's chaotic mental state.
first there's the shooting
then this shot of a truck driving itself
which then cuts to the seven car pileup
and then transitions to the news story covering it, presumably the next day
translation: indiscriminate shooting with a model gun at shibuya scramble crossing. an indiscriminate crime?
below that: passenger car, truck, minivan etc. involved in seven-car serial collision incident
the date and time is 11pm on the 28th of march, which happens to be 1 hour before what I'm assuming is fuchi's 18th birthday
sidenote: this crossing is literally the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world
anyway the police come for him and he runs for it.
'under arrest: occupation unknown, suspect fuchi sunao (18)'
then there's this sequence of him wrestling for control with his inner child, which is obviously not meant to be taken literally
along with this shot of him tumbling down the stairs into the path of a truck
however, that stairwell is nowhere to be seen in the shot after he's actually been hit by the truck, and if you look closely he still has both shoes on his feet
so we can infer that the whole sequence did not happen in reality
then there's this newspaper from the 30th of march. the headline says 'successive accidents in tokyo'. on the right: 'collision with a driverless* truck' and on the left: 'accident in the same spot as...' (cut off) *literally: in motion with no driver(human), not referring to self-driving technology
the words are blurry but basically the right part describes the seven-car pileup from the 28th again, and the left part describes fuchi's collision with the self-driving truck. the good news is at least the pileup doesn't seem to have killed anyone, with the text describing 10 people with light to severe injuries, and 2 people in a coma.
the caption to the left of the photo says it's the scene of the accident, taken at 11pm on the 29th in shibuya, tokyo
so yeah piecing all that together, fuchi went on a sleepwalking shooting spree with a model gun on the night of the 28th of march, caused a massive traffic accident that injures several people, presumably just??? left?? and went home?? they just let him? i guess all the people ran away or were too busy dealing with the 7 smushed cars. then on the night of the 29th he sees the news on the tv, the police knock on his door and he runs. one mental breakdown and dreamworld sequence later he ends up getting hit by a truck in the same intersection as before.
edit: as some in the notes have pointed out, the truck is reported as 'driverless' because his zingai mr. creepypasta was the one driving it, and it's invisible to most normal people. it's also foreshadowed (represented?) by this shot during the scene where his child self is rampaging.
anyway now he's in jail. rip.
#eve utaite#eve insomnia#eve#fuchi sunao#p#tl#guns tw#shooting tw#pat pat its ok fuchi tobi has canonically also put at least 2 people in a coma. at least you didnt eat them#free my boy he did nothing wrong he just got too silly with it!!#anyway what kinda parallel universe are they livin in that still has video rental shops in this era#and more importantly what kind of chronically ill 18yo orphan high schooler is living in shibuya tokyo on a part time retail job. insane.#oh yeah didnt know where to fit this translation in because it's totally off topic. he also has asthma. it's on the hospital sheet#the more you know i guess

HI I think I sent an ask a while back about having recently found TaTA and a) if it came off as trying to rush/guilt you. I am so sorry because that was NOT my intent, and b) I can hugely guarantee you have at least one person who will eat up any return, no matter when it happens, because I care about the guys so much 🥺 really looking forward to whatever comes next!!
Oh, I appreciate this a lot thank you!
Tbh it's a stress I would have regardless of anyone asking me about it, I'm probably the biggest one rushing and guilting myself on it. Which might contribute to some of the burnout I had...
My complaints are more about people who are demanding "more content daddy" or asking me if I'm dead or asking on every single post I make where it is... Wondering when it's coming back is completely reasonable, it's been a long time! but there's definitely a line haha
my editor also keeps randomly scheduling me and then saying "oh, btw you're scheduled to return in 3 weeks. Is that alright?" And I have to keep saying no, that's not alright??? And then dealing with that process...
I could write an essay about all the reasons it's not back yet, but that doesn't help me feel any less pressured, and it doesn't help you all get the rest of the comic any faster...
As of right now I'm scheduled to and trying to return october 21. No official announcement yet cause I have to do a lot of work in that time, but it's my official goal at least. When we get closer I'll be able to say for sure whether it's coming back on that date!
#basically the main reasons its not back are:#1) webtoon bullshit#2) sad about it ending#3) chronic illness and mental health#4) other projects I never had time for while it was going (books next comic prep pitches etc)#5) writing the rest took a long time#6) thumbnailing the rest (so i know it fits in the episodes I have! is taking a long time#7) finishing 4 months worth of episodes... is taking a long time...#its just too much#i could have rushed and made something okay#but I would way rather pause and make something amazing#and im telling you. holy shit it's so good#like it is so so so good its going to be worth the wait...#i hope. HAHAHAAHHA#but seriously im sorry i dont want you to feel bad for being excited about my work and wanting more of it#felixitous#asks#its hard to complain about the people crossing the line without accidentally lumping in people who are being reasonable#sorry about that#youre good#and honestly everyone on tumblr has been good so#its not you guys#this is why I've been posting way more here than anywhere else auaudjjdjjeje#feels way safer yallre way nicer to me

Content warning for this post. There are clumps of hair in my shower and if that makes you feel uncomfortable or sick, then please scroll past this.
I think it’s super important to be transparent about the struggles you experience when you’re sharing your life on social media. Nothing is perfect.
Because I’m sharing my fitness journey, I think that there is this expectation or vibe that everything is completely perfect or that I am super healthy, but fitness and good nutrition isn’t always necessarily all it takes to be completely healthy.
