“Im disabled/sick too and I don’t need to cope with aesthetics! You just want attention! Taking pictures in the hospital means you’re not actually sick!” Ok and why should I make myself one of the Good Disableds who shuts up just like the industry wants us to. You clearly have a lot to unpack and it’s not my job to make you comfortable. What’s wrong with wanting attention anyway? We’re sick. It’s often painful and lonely. Are you really so naive and ignorant to think a coping mechanism exists to slight you? Please tell me what is so wrong about seeking community and needing attention. Again, clearly some internalised issue. You need to confront your biases and unlearn ableism, and I will not be your punching bag or your therapist

do you guys think house would read hilson fanfiction and then critique the authors on it. because I do

the best way to contextualize the difference in herbert's and dan's flavor of unhingedness is this: herbert commits outright medical malpractice while dan commits egregious HIPPA violations.

And so it begins. Soon, you'll only be able to hide behind a lock if you decide to be naughty (NSFW) or nasty (rude/bitchy) on Twitter and don't want any blocked accounts to see it.

If you relied on the block feature to hide your tweets from others, consider Tumblr or Bluesky as a replacement for Twitter. No need to delete or close your account, just start slowly weening yourself off the damn app.

Me: they’re so…shiny…new looking.

MyPodiatrist: you got a lot of wear out of the old ones! Are you just going to use the new ones for formal occasions?

wow it's been A While since i experienced Acute Sick Privilege, ie: the rare privilege where you're the kind of chronically ill that doctors Actually Do Take Very Seriously. anyway i just walked into my doctor's office & within 15 minutes i had prescriptions for antibiotics, multiple inhalers, and a heavier course of prednisone than i've ever been on in my Life.

Thanks for your response.. tiktok is banned where i am from, so couldn’t look up.. I didn’t see the name of the writer in twitter quote or something if it was mentioned.. I might’ve overlooked.. sorry for the ask!

Have a good day..

No, the person who posted it on Twitter cut everything off for some reason. I forgot TikTok is banned in some places. Sorry for being grumpy. I just get so many requests for things that require me to do all the legwork the person could do for themselves that I got testy about it. Thanks for being patient with your response. Hopefully, you accessed the poem. In case you didn't, here it is.

I love you people who grew up as sick kids who were denied care by caregivers and/or professionals.

I love you people who had to learn how to hide your symptoms and are now so good at acting “fine” that nobody believes you.

I love you people who have always known something was wrong, but were never given the tools to express it.

I love you people who are jealous of those who received childhood intervention and adequate care.

Your experience was and still is in no way less important or less traumatic than those who received care and were allowed to express the pain. In case nobody told you yet or you need to hear it again, your pain has always been real, and you were treated unfairly. You never deserved that. I love you.

I dreamed about Jimin twice in the last week. First, he was somewhere outside playing basketball and he was wearing black shorts and a black top. There were other people on the field, but the faces were blurry. And he was all sweaty and took off his top and I was standing really close to him and I could see everything. In my dream, Jimin was an expert at basketball.

And two nights ago, I dreamed that he was either about to get a part or he was already casted in this weird, quirky movie. Sort of like Wes Anderson's Royal Tenenbaums type of quirky, but perhaps more darker.

Yep, that's my update. Now I have JM in my dreams as well.

These are my top TV shows that I watched in 2022. As with the movies, I'm posting this now because I never got around to it last year.

Also like the movies, these are just what I watched in 2022, not series that came out in 2022. They also have to be new to me in 2022, so no series with new seasons that I’d already been following. These aren’t necessarily the best shows, just ones I really liked or made an impression on me. I’m including both running series and limited or miniseries.

These shows are in no particular order, I just arranged the posters how I thought they'd looked the best. The shows are:

This is Going to Hurt

Shining Girls

The Haunting of Bly Manor

For All Mankind

Unbelievable

Five Days at Memorial

Succession

The Patient

Yellowjackets

Hi, I just...acquired(idk if that's the right word for it) a shiny eevee through a very unfortunate experience that involved a river, hypothermia, and an ankle brace. It's a long story. Anyway, I was told that shinys can have a lot of genetic/health issues, and this eevee in particular might have been apart of a smuggling ring. She's super skittish, is codependent on me yet doesn't let me touch her, and idk what to do. She's malnourished as well, and I'm just worried about her. Do you have any advice????

@thenextsinnohchampion

woahhh! I'm going to say that this is put of my realm of expertise! Poor thing though! If this eevee is in this condition my best advice is taking it to the nearest hospital or Pokecenter in town.

Make sure a trained doctor or nurse handles all the medical needs!

When it comes to the whole skittish scenario this I can be better help with. Although I'm still learning, with experiences like this its only natural for them to latch onto the first person who's been kind to them. Its a trauma response and that sort of behavior can spiral if not assessed. Shiny Pokemon are already known to be weary due to their unusual colorings.

However this can be treated! If you are comfortable with taking this responsibility this eevee is going to need a lot of patience in order to open up again.

Although they have latched onto you, like you mentioned they still have problems with being touched. Conditioning Therapy can really help them. You will have to start slow and patient but essentially you need to treat this eevee like a child. One that is curious yet cautious to everything around it. Pick up on its current behavior, and learn what foods, drinks, and other habits make them comfortable and try to incorporate more of those into your routine. Make sure they understand that you understand their boundaries.

Next you want to start having them get used to your touch and voice. Let them open up to you on their own accord but you don't want them to be complacent in never being spoken to or touched again.

If you have other Pokemon refrain from showing them to the eevee. They need all the space thay can get. But like yourself, the eevee over time will need to get used to seeing other Pokemon again.

Psychic, grass, water, normal, and fairy are often Pokemon that traumatized Pokemon are more willing to open up to. These types tend to give off a more soothing effect. However, that is also up to the individual Pokemon. If you have a Pokemon you believe will act calmly towards this eevee I suggest getting this eevee accustomed to them first.

I would also refrain from training or battling with this eevee. There is a chance that the trauma they've experienced is too dire for them to feel comfortable battling ever again. I also suggest keeping this eevee indoors only. We have no idea how they'll react to the outdoors and don't want them to feel as if they are being abandoned.

I hope my advice will be of good use to you and your unfortunate circumstance. I wish the eevee a gentle life ahead and hope they find the strength they need to feel comfortable again.
