Little gremlin fights back! Honestly, Ultima really should've expected that...

yeah, diabetes sucks sometimes, but every once in a while I see someone in public with a dexcom or pump, and I point to my own, and despite being total strangers we have this mutual shared understanding that no one else gets, and it feels like a secret club that we’re in that no one else gets to be a part of

I’m so tired of being honest about my pain level and having no one believe me because I don’t show pain the way they expect

hi gang. moisture question. does anyone else turn into a horribly dry beast at night. I’m talking fingers so dry they feel weird to straighten out. NO sweat. so extremely thirsty. constantly drinking never quenched. but during the day even out in the heat I am thriving I drink plenty of water I am a sweat MACHINE (bandaids fall off as soon as I put them on). why are my moisture mechanisms just fucked.

IM GLAD I ASKED

Let me introduce you to the majestic and beautiful:

M'AIQ

She is my child, my sweet sweet baby, my goofy little potato. The light of my life.

SO. Now you guys have her as your cat too in The Afterthought!

I'm gonna be so fucking real when I say that I'm tired of the narrative that many of the disabled community is pushing that most disabled people don't want to be cured and wouldn't choose to not be disabled if the opportunity arose. I have a chronic illness that is going to just get worse over the years and has made my recovery from a recent injury more complicated than it should be. I've had to pass on career opportunities because there is no possible way for me to take them up even with accommodations. I am unable to do physical activities that I have wanted to do my entire life because the risk of permanent injury for me is so high. Because it is genetic, I have seen how it manifests in old age via my paternal grandmother and I do not want that for myself. It is not ableist for me to not want this condition. It's me simply not wanting to be in pain, to be injured, and to be unable to do things I want to do.

I have been that person who tried so hard to not just want to be able-bodied, but fuck it I want to be able-bodied! I know it is still possible for many people to live a fulfilling life with my illness and disability, but I don't want to have to work harder for that life. If I was given the chance to live my life without pain and constant injury, I would. It will never happen because it is in my DNA, and I hate it.

And before anyone accuses me of internalized ableism, I am proud of how far I have come while having a lifelong disability. Despite the constant pain, I have survived horrible circumstances outside my disability that nobody should have to endure. The fact I have lived independently until my most recent injury has been impressive. It shouldn't be impressive, being that I'm 25, but it is. I'm proud of myself and every disabled person who has managed to live in an ableist society. Unfortunately, it isn't the ableism that makes me wish I wasn't disabled. It's my actual disability.

I’m begging Vivizie in my hands and knees that Stolitz has the same resolution that Anthony and Kate Bridgerton had

Sometimes I feel like my family forgets I’m a person with a chronic disease and sometimes I just don’t feel good. 🫤

don't get me wrong, i do truly love re-reading my old fics but at the same time it just...saddens me when i remember just how like. easy it used to be for me to write. to write sometimes thousands of words a day. to have posted so many individual fics (even if some of them were less then 1000 words) and to still have all these ideas for chapter fics, sequels, new fics, etc and just....not being able to keep up with my past self just reminds me of what i've lost to deteriorating mental and physical health...and now i'm lucky to write even 100 words in one day

When your horse (Fjara) decides to grab that fun little wire poking out from your pocket and won’t let go despite you begging her to and then manages to damage the infusion tube juuust enough to break down the whole system 🤣

To all those numpties that say Ed "goes on" about his diabetes all the time, the guy literally had a hypo on stage and only casually mentioned it in an insta story after the fact.

[clementimetodie]

I always had a concept involving diabetes x vampirism but I was never sure how exactly to mix the two

there's just something about needing to drink blood to live and needing to monitor the sugar in your blood to live, yanno?

[amoremagnificentbastard]

My blood sugar hates me and wants me to die.

[thel1ghtningthief]

if youre not diabetic and make diabetes jokes i want you dead. btw
