thinking about . ellen the night after the three set out on the orca. the last time she's mentioned in the film is after quint brushes her off over the radio, when he says that brody's just caught some fish and that they'll "bring 'em around for dinner" (specifically that they "won't be long"). but then. evidently they don't go back for dinner - they just stay overnight on the boat. that's.. potentially hours and hours without knowing if her husband is ok or even alive. did brody call her that night to let her know. she's so, so scared when he leaves. she runs off in tears. did brody call her that night to let her know he was ok i need to know :(((

trying to work out how much pain is normal after having teeth removed because like, we're in less pain than before the surgery, but we are in pain and weirdly the pain was mildest the day after the surgery and then started bothering us more the day after that.

our gums have felt noticeably better each day, but the pain is mostly in our jaw and that pain has been relatively consistent since day 3, and it's kind of like a dull ache in the bone. kind of a combination between migraine pain (but just in our jaw) and feeling like I've been punched in the face. it's mostly on the left side where they pulled out the molar that the dentist tried to remove in May but couldn't because it was too sensitive.

idk if it's just because the roots on that one were really deep and had like, an awkward curved shape and were apparently very close to the nerve, but it does keep making me paranoid that something's wrong even though I know logically your jaw is in fact going to be painful after having a tooth pulled out and we were expecting more pain than this and seem to have gotten relatively lucky with it

Is my discomfort with my boobs gender dysphoria, body dysmorphia, or just a general discomfort with the sensations of having a human body that comes with possible neurodivergency

[absolutelyflabbergasted]

is it bad that I want to use a wheelchair sometimes? I don’t need it a lot, but my right leg is stil fucked up from surgery and my hips hurt all the time

I keep getting dizzy and my heart rate goes up when I stand up

I love my shower chair so much and I am scared that my parents will take it

I won’t try to get one, if would just be nice to walk around the grocery without having to lean on the cart or my dad the whole time

Part of making a vegan world is making a world with enough social systems in place to support all humans. It’s just not going to happen without it and a world that doesn’t support its human community, especially its disabled communities, isn’t a just one either.

There are people with food intolerances who would like to have a plant based diet but would need an elaborate food preparation routine in order to do that safely. I know people who are spending that time and money everyday which is extremely impressive but it really shouldn’t be necessary. Ideally there should be government funding towards restaurants, programs or government paid at home chef’s to cater to these needs.

Same with pollution, it would be nice to reduce the amount of plastic people use but the person who has chronic fatigue or chronic pain might need to be able to buy a pack of microwaveable food and have dinner done in two minutes rather then twenty. Or have a chef on call to prepare them what they would want at no cost. Or maybe they could prepare it themselves if insurance had bought them the wheelchair and treatment they needed, giving them more low pain days.

I’m just saying people are all different so we’re going to need a lot of different ways to achieve that goal. Veganism that includes ableism is less than worthless and it’s not going to be effective. What’s practical and possible for one person isn’t for another person and we have to put time and resources into giving everyone as many options as possible.

anatomy was honestly the worst class ive taken in uni to date because the teacher would spend at least 30 minutes every class bragging about himself

[that-was-anticlimactic]

[humblefryingpan]

I'm tired so I put my phone down but istg the second I put it down I started thinking ab it and nearly started crying again and had to get it back on

[lesbianlaura]

[rivangel]

Is there something that worries you about top surgery? Like recovery/pain etc...

Cause you sound super duper happy but I would be scared af🥲

yeah of course i have worries :') i knew a lot about it beforehand, but researching the specifics there's a lot of supplies needed for instance, and care taken. like i can't lift anything more than 8 lbs or 3.5kg for a couple weeks, im gonna have """t rex arms""" for a week or two so i cant reach very high and showering will be a bitch, im gonna have to sleep on my back and i have HORRIBLE chronic back pain, stuff like that. the chance of complications are low, though

but even if there was a 90% chance of complications, and i came out looking like someone was painting my chest with a knife, and one of my nipples falls off and i for whatever reason feel so much pain i pass out, i have nerve damage for the next year, WHATEVER, they'll be gone so i'll be happy.

im most worried about missing school😭tbh. and i wont be able to work out for a couple months. i hope im not jinxing myself, but i've been through enough to make me resilient mentally so tho i know it'll hurt and everything, im prepared enough and i want it enough to go into it without fear (but a healthy amount of concern)

[guinevereslancelot]

why do i feel weirdly guilty for taking a day off of work to have necessary surgery 🤡

[damiemontclair]

Is it ridiculous to think maybe this whole hospital thing and related business has mildly traumatised me? Is it ridiculous that I want to write about it in excruciating detail, just get the experience out on paper, on my blog, somewhere? It feels dumb but I want to write fic about it. I think it'd fix me.
