Having a body is so hard like you wanna be fit? Gotta exercise. You rode a bike? Here's A THOUSAND YEARS OF PAIN IN YOUR KNEES. Tried the elliptical instead? TEN THOUSAND YEARS OF PAIN IN YOUR KNEES. Oh you ran? A PAIN THAT BURNS FOR SO LONG THAT TIME IS MEANINGLESS. IN YOUR KNEES.

#maybe this is just #about me #because i have #rheumatoid arthritis #my knee hurts #my ankle hurts #i am just trying to recover from my surgery #hysterectomy #I'm trying to be active #and now my body is mad #i demand a refund

so with echoes of wisdom .. i havent watched any of the trailers beyond the very first one and the thumbnails/screenshots and what others have said about it-

but with the world inside the rift being called "Welt des Nichts" aka "world of nothing/void" in german ('still' in english, for some reason) and demises title in french being "avatar of nothing" ... yeah my anxiety is shooting through the roof again

(hopefully you can be a little more forgiving for me being anxious/weird about it bc demise is my blorbo)

i had similar worries with totk, that werent proven true thankfully, but the darn book is making it all worse again with all those weird lore things the game doesnt even so much as hint at AND potential retcons- im in for a really rough time huh, not just stress in real life (more in tags.. its alot) but now about my specific hyperfixation from two things even (AND artblock still..)

weird as it may sound, i dont want demise to get more lore, partly bc i dont believe theyd do anything with him that i would like (given their track record) but much more importantly- the fact that he has this little lore about him is precisely one of the reasons why i fell in love with him, i tend to like characters that are neglected by the narrative, and his story being both so flat and already done meant i can be very creative with what i come up with for him without necessarily contradicting anything in canon (which is ... or was a big point of how i wrote destiny's story and lore, working with canon in a way that reframes it all without straight up ignoring it ... but i suppose i urgently need to let go of that and accept i spend alot of time working things that will go to waste :( ) AND not having to worry that there will be more stuff with him that would massively change not only what im writing but also potentially how i feel about him since the game he was briefly in was the oldest chronologically and ended with his death- i didnt expect them to mess with anything that far back and thought theyd just go forward and leave the timeline behind and wouldnt mess with it again, given how botw seemed to be a sort of 'fresh start' that seemingly regarded the past as the past that needs to rest and that the timeline was finally no longer a discussion if everythings unified through botw and one thing going forward

but i suppose i was very wrong with that .__.

right now the only thing that motivates me still is the left over determination and spite to work on my zelda comic, since i have never gotten this far and really want to get something done for once, but i cant lie that im feeling like i should pause all work on it too to wait and see waht the book and the new game will do .. either to determine if i still have the will to keep working on it after those things are out (my love for tloz has been taking alot of hits lately ..) or if i have to change stuff (mostly bc of my lore problem trying to not ignore it ..)

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #ganondoodles rants #sorta #suicide attempt mention in the IRL stuff im talking about in the following tags btw #theres some construction stuff on our house going on #and my father is extremely stressed about it #he used to be very explosive- being silent and then exploding out of nowhere .. probably left me with lasting damage yippie-#but now he much more lets it eat at himself bc hes old and feels bad for the past stuff so now it makes him irritated and depressed #my older brother is the most normal cis straight guy you can imagine and incredibly impatient and bossy (you CANNOT talk with him)#(brother doesnt live in our house)#and while hes helping out hes doing it exactly how my father doesnt like and since you cant talk to the guy (explosive +200) it stresses hi #to the point of my father yesterday saying that “it would have been better if i had just died back in the day”#likely referring to the time when he was drafted for the military against his will and tried to kill himself #which i learned only like .. a year ago- theres so little my parents tell me ....#its like my mother telling me- while my father was in hospital for heart surgery- that she not only almost died back when i was a young tee #and only survived bc of some incredibly unebelievable lucky coincidences (medics on a travel being there that knew what she had-#-while our local doctors said welp- nothing we can do lady AND them beign there with a helicopter and emergency transferring her #to antoher bigger hospital while giving her immediate treatment our local one didnt do- AND at the big one just so happened to have-#-an expert on that illness in the facility when she arrived who was able to narrrowly save her life #BUT ALSO while she was recovering and weak and frail as a dust bunny witnessing someone stealing hospital surplies-#not noticing she was in the room at first (which .. the nurses left her in the nurse room while going on break ... which uhm .. yeah cool)#and if my mother hadnt acted in time like she was fully asleep and the lady stealing stuff beign in hurry- she might have killed her #without my mother being able to fight back bc she could barely even talk (the nurses didnt want to believe her when they got back either)#ANYWAY that comment from my father brough me to tears #and my mom is trying out more ... other medication shes not prescribed in hopes of it helping agaisnt her many pains #but i worry it will interact with the other stuff shes on ...#and i worry so much about both of their mental and physical well being #always trying to be the one to calm them down or help with communication bc that is a big problem in this houesehold #but i myself am also a very much not normal and not medicated shut in who has trouble dealing even with my own feelings

my doctor was sooooo fucking worthless and unhelpful im going to masturbate and i hope it fucking kills me

#“no need for follow up”#“yeah you did have several cysts we scrapped off your remaining ovary but. dw about it. idk why they were there. dw about it. oh also your #ovary on that side was freakishly huge but. dw about it. it might go away. dw about it #*doctor shrug emoji* “#“go see a gyno next year maybe. but not me im too important for that. go find and onboard a gyno to your situation. next year maybe idk lol”#he barely even looked at my incision like #this fucking appointment could have been an email. or a phone call. or they just could have let me start driving again. also i forgot to ask #if i can stop drinking ensure now or after the 6 weeks? cause that shit cost $$$$. but he probably would have been super unhelpful if i had #fr fr this guy only wanted to give me the time of day when he thought i might have fun cancer inside and now he's like gtfo!!!! get your #fugly cancerless ass out of here!!!! recover from a major surgery on your own you swagless cancerless loser 🤣 we arent helping your #swagless ass!!!#anyway it seems weird and fucked up that im was never offered to see a physical therapist and i guess am going to have to blindly trust my #abs they sliced thru are healing or whatever and to rawdog my own physical recovery of my muscles? even just dumb shit like. my center of #gravity has drastically changed since the mass removal and my back hurts like shit all the time because all my posture muscles were built up #for when i had an extra 30 pounds of cyst hanging in the front and my posture and walking reflected that. and i lowkey don't know how #hard i am able to be with my healing incision because its really tight and makes me hunch forwards still. like i would really like to know #how much i can safely or maybe should be forcing my skin and incision to stretch. without damage? is that crazy #am i crazy???#this shit is why i didnt see a doctor for 2 years until my problems had snowballed into a 30 pounds ovarian cyst that was crushing my other #organs and had one of my kidneys all backed up with piss. and even getting emergency treatment for it everyone was like. how did you like it #get this bad?? how could you not know you needed to seek medical treatment???? like. bro. seeking medical treatment isnt even a guarantee to #get medical treatment.#anyway he said my “remaining ovary seemed low key polycystic but dw about it. don't quote me on that im not dealing with it.”#bro i dont want to doctor google it i wanted an actual doctor to deal with it. fuck you.#like. maybe even a doctor who knows my situation so i dont have to struggle with getting someone to believe me and take me seriously.#but whatever. back to trying to figure out the daily protein and extra calories my body needs for recovery via doctor google i guess.#its fine 🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬

the problem with nice pretty pain scales is that sometimes you are slowly coming to the realization that you don't properly know what "not pain" feels like in the first place

#like we're capable of recognizing pain when it's like. sudden. or if it gets Worse #we're not constantly aware of our pain. it's background noise that we're used to #but if we ask ourselves if we're in pain and try actually tuning into our body it always hurts #when we were recovering from top surgery as far as i remember we didn't use a whole lot of our prescription pain meds because yeah it hurt #but it wasn't that bad we could just tough it out #honestly i don't think we have much of a concept of mild pain? like mild to us is “hurts but it's not that bad” not “hurts a little bit”#and i mean acute pain is its own thing and it's easier to notice but if something just hurts #how am i supposed to quantify that?#i have a concept of “bad” that i can compare it to but #like #when i'm walking i feel my ankles getting hot more than i notice them hurting #even though i know now that the “normal sensation of walking” has been pain this whole time

Fuck guilt "activism" -- it makes you feel guilty for spending a penny on anything that isn't going towards a specific cause. Food? Guilt. It could go to children. Decent toilet paper? Guilt. Pizza? Guilt. Pet necessities? Guilt. Saving up for a necessary surgery? Guilt.

Making people feel guilty about shit does not an activist make. You can do great shit for important causes while also not making people feel guilty for existing.

#i am bedridden and am trying to save up for surgery on my back #everything i can't save my parents will have to take from their credit card #which have high af interest rates btw #and fun fact: people need food #they shouldn't be made to feel guilty for not starving themselves for any cause #and the pizza. wanna know something?#my parents have me buy it with THEIR MONEY #Their money would never in a million years go to most causes that are important #i can only sometimes control WHERE we get it #and yet i feel horribly guilty for it #and i'm tired of it!#activism centred around guilt are bullshit #among many other things they burn people out #i'm still crawling back from being burn out in 2017 or so #i can't open activist emails no matter how much i want to #i am only just starting to be able to send emails again #i haven't gotten back to being able to make phone calls #activism means pacing yourself and taking time away from it to recover #if you burn out you're useless as an activist #guilt-based activism is a fast-track to burnout #i'm going to stop frustratedly rambling now

shoutout to the uber driver in front of me when i was on my way to the store this evening for having a goku bumper sticker. had a few other ones too (including an "uber" sticker which is how i know) but seeing goku just made me so happy

#personal #dragon ball #goku #and before anyone comes at me with ''avi wasn't there a storm over there why were you outside'' it's bc the power was out #and i wanted to go get some food bc the oven is connected to the power and i'm not cooking in the dark that's uncomfortable #also the macaroni man will get you #anyway #i decided to go out for a burger #which involved me having to manually open the garage by climbing on top of the car and worrying my mom's neighbor (oops)#sidenote: if you are recovering from surgery do not do this. especially surgery concerning or in the general area of arm muscles #i am a clown but to be fair i knew that already #ANYWAYS #i drove to the burger place only to find out that it was closed bc they were ALSO having a power outage #so i went and got sushi instead #this was somewhat awkward bc i had planned to do my homework while i burgered #but my homework is japanese homework so i ended up worrying if i was trying too hard #eventually i just went back to playing pokémon #but anyway the ramen was tasty and so i headed off to the grocery store bc i wanted dessert #the grocery store was ALSO having a power outage #so i went to the other grocery store a few blocks away #where i bonded with a stranger over having no power at home + suspecting the store's bakery was taunting us with its lights #tldr: i should not be allowed access to a car. i do not make good choices

ooo grindr is scary but i'm proud of myself for trying

#figured maybe i was ready to give dating/hookup apps a shot since im mostly recovered from top surgery!#but turns out it really just scares the shit out of me to go for hookups - and really just to get to know a stranger really fast online #at least in that sort of context #so had wee little panic attack - it had been months since the last one actually which is fantastic!#but i am very very proud of myself for going and giving it a try even when it scares me #i feel a little bad for just ghosting the one guy i was talking to but i really just... wasn't into him #sure i wanted to hear more about his physics research but everything else felt a little red flag-y and he just wasn't my type #and i gotta remind myself that I really don't HAVE to talk with anyone on something like that and ghosting is okay #i did totally delete the app though #which does make me feel better #and thus ive learned that its not my sorta thing! think i like starting as in-person friends with people; stuff kinda takes me time

#i am still so scared to jinx it #but #the last few weeks have been so great for my dog #he has that much more energy again #he's running and playing more #we can go on longer walks again #and it just makes me so happy to have him back in this big way #of course i am trying to be careful with my optimism #but what we are doing seems to work currently #and that makes me so happy for him #because he has that much more life and energy and joy in him and he deserves to be able to move accordingly #i think he also has now fully recovered from his surgery i think that's playing into it aswell #update for the girlies who care etc

I have responded to brutal honesty with kindness.

But I do not forget the brutality.

#you try to help someone you want to apologize for not doing some things well enough #you are told how completely inadequate and disappointing you have been #next day you are asked why you apologized you just dat that you realized you were not doing things well enough #you dont try to make them cry the way you did when you wete alone and away from them #because they are recovering from surgery but you temember how they responded and they wont get help from uou again.#i slowly now begin to cut them out of my life. within 3 months or less they will wonder why I am not responding to tjem.#in a year they woll wonder why i only sprak to them when I have to #because of mutual friends #in two uesrs they will wonder where i went i was always so kind and supportive.#they will always wonder what happened #i will not have thought of them in months #i will only remember vaguely that oh ueah they were one of thosexbrutally honest people.#i hope their brutal honesty keeps them company

fuck this stupid baka life

#so fucking tired of getting hit with a curve ball every fucking time I try to make progress into my education for my career #first it was the classes i need just not being available - losing my summer -#having to take those two (one being VERY intense and heavy) while recovering from surgery (why i wanted to avoid summer classes)#then it was the financial aid situation with having a dead semester thanks to the summer classes + the program application window #which was handled but was annoying #and now it's finding out that the test I need to take by the 25th in order to get my results in time is just. not available near me #like for 50 miles. and for months. only possible date is over an hour away. i have an unreliable van atm. and appointment only from 8-10 #which is only enough for one out of three sections of the test #meaning i would have to drive over there 3 TIMES in a row next week tues-thurs IF each slot has the space #i hate this fucking shit so much. like i get why i need to do this but MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK #at least my partner will have an easier time bc the test he's doing is WAY more available around here #raiii rants #sorry it's 2:30 am. i had to drop $300 on a very important test im nervous about. and now i have to jump through hoops to take it.

Support Wafaa and Mohiy's family

Wafaa's gfm: €5,284/€100,000

Wafaa's accout has been vetted by @/90-ghost

Wafaa ( @wafaaresh ) is raising funds for her family's evacuation. The funds will cover evacuation costs for her, her parents, her siblings (6 brothers and 5 sisters), and her siblings' children. The money will also help afford necessities and medical treatment for her family.

Her mother suffers from chronic hypertension, needs daily blood pressure medication, and needs surgery for varicose veins in her leg. Wafaa and her family cannot afford her medication or surgery at this time.

Wafaa and her family used to own clothing stores, but their stores have all been destroyed and they have been left without any source of income.

Mohiy's gfm: $878/$5,000

Mohiy ( @mohiy1123 ) is Wafaa's younger brother. I reached out to her to confirm that the account was his and she also provided me with his instagram so I could speak with him there.

Mohi had an operation on May 20th, 2024 for a a gallbladder operation to treat his hepatitis and severe pancreatitis. He is still recovering while trying to help support his family.

He has had problems with his accounts being terminated, so you may see a few deactivated accounts with similar names he reblogs from, but those are the accounts he has lost access to.

actually speaking of that "everything i love causes carpal tunnel" shirt i know! a muscle that causes carpal tunnel-like symptoms!

the bad news is that it's the underside of the shoulder blade, but the good news is that once you figure out how to reach it, it's quite easy to release!

anyways meet the subcapularis

(all images taken from Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction (3rd Edition) by Travell et al)

the subcapularis helps pull the shoulder forward and rotate it inwards, meaning it's involved in many activities which cause the much dreaded carpal tunnel--yes, even though it's nowhere near the wrist. the anatomy of the shoulder makes it easy for nerves and vessels to get compressed, causing all sorts of fun symptoms like pain, tingling, and cold fingers.

this is the referred symptom zone:

obligatory i am not a doctor, just very autistic about musculoskeletal pain, and can't guarantee this massage will help your carpal tunnel symptoms, but I will say that uhhh every time I do this for myself i can feel all blood and sensation rush back into my arm, and it's always best to try massage before more invasive stuff like surgery

--

1. Find a spot where you can sit, feet planted on the ground, and lean forward and rest your head on something with your arm hanging down between your legs. This will slide the shoulder blade to the side of the ribs, where you can reach the underside.

2. Above is what the subcapularis looks like with the surrounding muscles. Using your fingertips (you might wanna cut your nails) or your thumb if preferred, find the bony edge of the shoulder blade, and start poking around the underside.

3. You'll most likely only be able to reach the edge of the muscle, but that's enough! When you press into it, you will probably feel like you're reproducing your symptoms. Don't worry; you aren't hurting yourself and in fact this means you're in the right spot! Massage it gently, enough to feel it but not enough to wince, until you can't find anymore painful spots (or until you feel better, sometimes you can't get it all in one session).

3.5. If your pain increases overall, don't do it. Though pressure should elicit symptoms, this type of massage should provide pretty immediate relief, and if it doesn't then either some other muscle(s) is involved or it's not muscle related at all.

4. Finish up by rolling your shoulder back, like you're stretching out your chest/reaching behind you, a few times. It's normal to hear clicking--good, actually, that's the sound of your body realigning.

5. I recommend doing this at least daily, even after the symptoms have eased, until it's no longer sensitive to massage. Keep in mind that this muscle has been overused, and that the muscles that oppose it have weakened. It will keep trying to tighten up again until the weakened muscles have recovered, so you need to actively treat it and keep an eye out for habits that cause you to roll the shoulder forward.

And that's it! If you intend to resume carpal tunnel inducing activities ASAP, see if you can take a moment every 30 minutes or so to do a quick shoulder stretch. This helps prevent the muscle from tightening, and you only need to spend moments to do so. Quick breaks like this actually go a long way towards preventing injury, and help you keep working without interrupting the flow to go do some body maintenance :P

#fatals physio corner #i actually dont get wrist pain from this muscle it's only ever made my shoulder hurt #there are a lot of muscles that can affect nerves and vessels leading into the arms tho #so if its not the subcapularis then it might be a different guy #like my mortal enemy the latissimus dorsi #but that's for another post #chronic pain

Help a queer family of disabled nerds

Hey my name is Dante, I live in the Midwest with three of my best friends. We have four cats, one of which is my babyman whom I love very dearly.

His name is Latke Library Card Mango (LLCM). He's very orange and he's the light of my boyfriend, Kris, and I's life.

Cat pics are great right? Have a few.

A few months ago, latkes chronic bladder stones condition acted up which resulted in two emergency vet visits and a week long stay with his actual vet to get the stone removed.

It was the size of a chickpea.

Here's a photo of his post surgery when he had a nakie tummy. He was very very happy to see us.

He's since recovered, but the cost of this put us back around 1300 dollars in total. He's now on a special diet with rather pricey food to prevent this from happening but it might still act up eventually.

We've paid down some of his debt, but the interest is making it become more and more as we try to pay it down.

On top of this, our pipes backed up into our basement and refused to work suddenly a few weeks ago. We live in a house that is over a century old, and the clay pipes keep getting roots growing into them that causes them to not drain.

The roto had to come out and high pressure the roots out to clear them (which required expensive equipment), This put us back another grand.

To add to everything, our 700+ auto insurance bill is due in November, which is the worst time for this bill to need due, but both myself and Kris drive over ten miles to work during different shifts on opposite ends of town- neither of our jobs have public transit anywhere near them.

We are currently barely making ends meet-

I am a lunch lady at a public high school. I love my job. I feed kids who possibly don't even eat at home some days. I do work I am proud of.

However, I can only work around 25 hours a week without risking losing my insurance as a disabled person. My job does not have longer hour positions available, and I am too disabled to work more than this without ruining my body like I have done in the past.

I have been going without buying groceries out of fear that what little money I have in my account will be needed in an emergency. I will be out of work for a week this month, around Thanksgiving, and during Xmas break- unpaid due to me working in a school. Me being out also means no guaranteed meal every day.

Kris works in a factory. He is currently working 55+ hours a week to make what we can to pay off the bills and keep our house. He only has one and a half knees that hurt all the damn time and is barely eating either just to afford everything. His factory keeps calling for sudden shutdown weeks with little notice at the worst times, and he's the main breadwinner in the house for us.

The other two in our household, one is severely disabled and can barely work 10 hr/week (he is waiting on hearing back to receive SSI) on top of having multiple medical appointments a week to figure out what is wrong with his body and why it keeps failing. The other is a freelance artist who is working her butt off to make money while carting the previous to appointments nearly every day. She is full up on commissions at the moment, but when she opens them I'll reblog her posts.

I really didn't want to make this post. I hate asking for help. But we are drowning and there's no sign of land. None of us can afford to live on our own, nor can we move back in with our parents for various reasons.

All I'm asking for is some help. I don't care how much. Five dollars is five dollars. Five dollars is half an hour less we have to kill ourselves to make ends meet.

Even if we don't make the full amount, every dollar will help us get a bit closer to paying this stuff down so we can afford gas and regular grocery trips again instead of having to save up to go once a month like we are currently doing.

Our goal is 2000 dollars.

Yes, this is the high amount. I do not believe we will ever reach it. I can hope we can raise this much at some point.

But for now that's the dream number.

It's the number that is looming over our heads, telling us to pay up or lose our home.

It's not something we need this very moment, but just what we need in the next few months to be able to afford living without destroying our body or working three jobs/ridiculous hours.

We thank anyone who can spare a few bucks to help us, and if you can't afford it just pass this post along to someone who might be able to.

Please send as friend/family if you can, PayPal is threatening to withhold money sent as transactions now if you receive over a certain amount.

This includes sending things through my ko-fi account- so here's the preferred methods:

Progress:

388.74/2,000

Thank you for reading. I love you.
