Okay everyone describe your medical condition(s) as badly as possible, I'll go first: I have random bad noise turns me into a supervillain disorder, vampirism, agriculture was a mistake disease, a moderate case of "someone put slinkies where my joints were supposed to go", and if I'm not having fun 24/7 my brain will eat itself alive. Also, I have to wear special amulets on my face to stop me from walking into walls and if I don't periodically fill my lungs with magic smoke they'll stop working.

My house is built stupid so some of the doors swing open while some of the swing closed but my office doesn’t really do it as much so I forget that it’s just as fucked as every other door in this house.

Anyway I had the door to my office mostly closed because the dog was being annoying and had earned himself jail time in the room with me and the door just slowly swung open and me and the dog just looked at each other both confirming we did not touch the damn door before we just… moved on

One of the weirdest things about finding out you're traumatized/mentally ill/neurodivergent as an adult is looking back at all the very obvious signs in your childhood and realizing none of the adults responsible for you were paying attention

You know, I think that if he wanted to have a better reason for why he's suddenly strong, Spiderman (any of them, really) should have taken up rock climbing.

It explains the strength, and if he ever sticks to anything. It would also explain any mild scrapes or bruises. And honestly, in my experience rock climbing and track are the two sports most likely to attract nerds.

A thing I pre-ordered months ago has shipped!

What's the thing?

Keepsake Quilting, and several other quilt companies/stores, put a sort of gift box together with fabric, notions, patterns, and gift cards in them. You don't know what you're getting, making it a surprise. I have never purchased one because they're expensive. This was 50% upfront, 50% when shipped, for a total of $150. Considering how much is in it, and what reviews were left the last several years, it's a steal. Plus, I wanna treat myself after having such a stressful and unpleasant year.

My mom and one of aunts have ordered such boxes in the past, but according to my mom, they're disappointing because she has so many of the things in the package, or no use for many of them. Rulers (some of which cost $30), needles, rotary cutters and extra blades (blades can be $10/each, new cutters up to $50), fabric marking tools (chalk pencils, disappearing ink, etc), precut fabric collections (jelly rolls can be $80, fat quarter collections up to $100 depending on number of FQs), and yardage ($12.99-$21.99/yard). She's been disappointed by "ugly" fabric too many times.

I, on the other hand, have significantly fewer tools. I make things for people to buy, and some folks love fabric I cannot stand (like x-mas and patriotic prints). There have been fabrics I consider well and truly hideous, and those I list in my shop or sell to people here. One person's trash is another's treasure, right? I've met people who think pastels are ugliest things to have ever existed. I think baby pink and green military camouflage look fantastic together, as well as turquoise and light hemp brown or terracotta and peacock blue. My mom finds them hideous. I think pink and any shade of brown look terrible together, or red and khaki (likely from working at Target and seeing is everywhere). Again, personal taste.

If any of you ever fancy treating me to one of these random collections of fabric and/or notions, feel free to do so. They're the sort of surprise I enjoy (that and people purchasing my work, especially from my shop). Sure, there are things that may he of no use to me, but others can use them. Nothing goes to waste.

This package will be arriving on November 18th, and has me giggling with excitement!

You should probably get home. You make the move to whistle for Watcher when your chest suddenly tightens. Your mouth open to gasp for air but your breathing keeps cutting. You wheeze and stumble forward, dropping to your knees.

You try to force air in your lungs only to cough, shutting your eyes tightly as you reach up towards your throat.

Your hands shake as you struggle, curled up on the ground as your lungs feel like they're shaking. You can't breathe you can't breathe.

can't answer the pain poll because the last time I was in pain was the most pain I've ever felt because with time every sensation has been dulled

Oh, it's that album everyone was obsessed with in 2021. It's still good, I'll listen to it for the memories-

The thing that gets me about the George Romero zombie movies is just how much the characters want to live. If I was forced to live in a post apocalyptic hellscape where life as I know it has come to an end and what used to be humans now roam he earth and want to tear apart and consume me I’d simply want to die

Question for the disabled community, what “qualifies” a person to say they’re disabled?

Does asthma count as a disability? Does needing reading glasses? What about arthritis?Is there a line that needs to be crossed to say you’re disabled?

[tristinian]

Quick question: in your blueprint for an ideal world, where are the disabled people? Are they left to die, or expected to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and push through the disability? Will you disregard the disabled people who need medication as ‘addicts’ and therefore deserving of suffering? Will you decide that people with incurable disabilities are “doomed anyways so who cares what happens to them”? Are people with embarrassing disabilities treated with respect? Will disabled people who have trouble with hygiene or cooking be accommodated for? Will public spaces be accessible to disabled people, or is it convenient that the architecture means you don’t have to see or think about them?

Remember that in any society there will always be disabled people and you have to think of them if you’re creating the blueprint for a new, ideal, equal one.
