Happy Bread Jesus Everyone!

I have um. Hurt my back pretty badly, so I do not think I am capable of baking this year but:

1. Please tag me if YOU decide to make a bread Jesus. Or any other bread effigy I love that shit.

2. If I'm still human when I get back from the doctor this evening I will set up a discord channel and do a Live Reading.

3. Post will be at the top of my blog for anyone who wants to read it to their friends, family or religious authorities (highly recommended).

Love you all, thank you so much for all the love, support and joy You've given me over the years, and hopefully I will see you tonight!

I have some severe health issues and have been homeless or in emergency housing unable to afford rent or food for months (and in similar situations for years). I am in quite severe pain and traumatised by some horrible things that have happened to me, and I am just at a complete breaking point that I cannot push off anymore. I have reached out to every possible public resource & have a case manager, but these issues have completely trapped me in ways I can no longer compartmentalise off. I would love it if anyone could share this link for a donation post or dm for my main where I have revolut / venmo. Obviously I get people aren't always in a position to help but having people show support and share would be very meaningful ❤️

“Inaccessibility has a massive impact on disabled people, especially people with mobility issues and those who use aids like canes, walkers, wheelchairs, service animals, etc. and these things are often ignored and should not be and you are right to be angry about it.”

And

“Even within the disabled community, there is a disgusting amount of dismissal and yes, ableism directed at people who have needs related to mental illness/mental disorders- to the point that other disabled people will refer to those of us with invisible disabilities, chronic illness, and mental disorders as abled and tell us that our needs are lesser and that is not okay.”

Are statements that must co-exist.

So sorry for disappearing off the map for a few weeks. I have a yearly black out period where my hands become borderline useless due to allergies and I can't art!! I also happen forget about this every fucking year until it's upon me.

Anyways lots to catch up on, including last bit of giveaway art for the patient saints waiting on it. (Next giveaway will be in fall or winter to 100% avoid this issue cause I'm a dumb ass)

Excited to wrap up giveaway art, draw some smutty exchange art, finish the six characters meme, and squeeze in at least one piece of queer art for Pride month, maybe Jack & Star again?? Or Xochi, Hancock & MacCready or Lana & Esskelle or Ariadne & Karlach or one of my millions of other queer couples lmao

Just excited to have hands again!

I had something to say about how tiring it is for people to get exasperated with me for things that ARE FUCKING SYMPTOMS of things they KNOW I HAVE but it's been said more times than I can count and in better ways so instead

Bad news, got back from the vet and my beautiful baby son is going to have to be put down soon, probably tomorrow or the next day, so send him best of wishes for his next few days~ Luckily, he's actually not in a lot of pain (for now, hopefully he won't be) and is acting pretty normal, so I'm hoping he won't suffer at all and everything will be peaceful for him.

hate when i vent abt my pain and ppl tell me "everyone has stomach aches, it's normal" okay but are their pains bad enough to make them cry or unable to stand..... at least once a week...... bc i think that if this was normal society might've collapsed by now. but what do i know

having some sort of chronic pain and tiredness issue and joint problems and whatnot but not knowing exactly what the problem is is really good at leading you feeling like you're faking it or making a big deal out of nothing or making it up. especially if there's a good day where it's not as bad and you can walk straight without limping for the first time in a year. but then you can wake up the next day and can barely walk and wonder why you can't just walk normal. it's hard to not guilt trip yourself into dealing with pain by trying to ignore it and force yourself to walk "normal" all the time

[sophiethewitch1]

Woah what did that anon do

nothing really, im just a bit too defensive of my peace. they sent this ask in and i immediately noped out lmao

[faultsofyouth]

It's fucked up that the sober population straight up ignores how a huge portion of addicts have chronic illnesses

[lesbianlenas]

everyone who says i complain abt my d*d too much look away rn 🤪

[sapphic-schizo]

really annoyed lately at the idea that "normal" people go through life with no baseline level of anxiety, pain, or fatigue. there's no group of "normal" people who are happy healthy and full of energy 100% of the time. in fact i would say most average people are one or two adverse events away from being overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. and whether or not you have any sort of diagnosed disorder you're shooting yourself in the foot by thinking that other people just naturally have access to some "normal" level of functioning that you can't begin to grasp.

i started thinking about this cause i saw some chart about different levels of fatigue/tiredness and someone commented that most people are at 0, meaning "not tired at all." just like...how does that make sense? most people are never tired?? isn't this the same website that loves to point out that capitalism is draining the life from everyone? no one can find jobs, no one can afford a one-bedroom apartment, we experienced/are experiencing a global pandemic that shook up millions of people's lives, but you're believing that "most people are never tired?" make it make sense....

You’d cut me open with a sword like it’s nothing, but you’re scared of me being in a little pain? Hypocrite.

I am so…. Fucking sick of this job

[skyteglad]

the latest aita is making me sad. the teeth one. because like... when i was a kid, i was told to have braces! and that i'd need an eventual surgery! and because i didn't want to, my parents didn't make me.

that surgery would've changed my life. i'm not fucking kidding. i'm pretty sure 75% of my physical disabilities stem from not getting that surgery. and by the time i was able to bring up trying to have corrective work again, i was two years from losing my insurance, and my parents procrastinated. now it seems like a pipe dream it'll ever happen.

i get being resentful of your parents forcing you to do things you don't want to do, but god damn, if mine had actually really pushed me into getting braces, my life would be so much different and so much better.
