when you see your little kitty walking toward you at a leisurely pace and say "hi baby!" bc you're excited to see her and she starts trotting a little bit faster 'cause she's excited to see you too. that's what life is all about i think

house md is wild cause it feels like in creating a show based on "irreverent doctor who is garbage, unlike the saint docs on all the boring medical soap operas rn" they completely accidentally created one of the most compelling and important concepts of all time, in "disabled chronic pain doctor distrusts medical institutions because of his experiences with addiction and disability, therefore he is constantly breaking the law and hospital administrative policy rules to get marginalized patients care that they would otherwise be denied, and the show uses this as a way to spotlight various forms of institutional patient inequity"

but BECAUSE the writers lucked into this concept by accident and have no idea WHY it's important, half of the show is Also "doctor commits constant heinous malpractice on vulnerable patients and treats them like shit and traumatizes them and this is considered a normal good protag thing to do because it will always be shown to be retroactively justified, because actually the patient always Was lying or being unreasonable, and this doctor is so so so smart and special that no rules ever apply to him, and no consequences will ever be shown" which is obviously. eaugh

so when it's good it's SO SO SO SO SO FUCKING GOOOOOD but it's also like. not something i can in good conscience recommend to Any other chronic illness people. u feel me.

sometimes it’s annoying when your character can’t jump in a video game but how often do you jump in real life?

#i have adhd i do a little jump/hop/skip/dash/twirl/whatever every day lmao #i am a video game character #but like in the grocery store or my own kitchen

self affirmations i am an inhospitable environment. i cannot be settled i cannot be terraformed i cannot be irrigated. weary travelers are always telling their companions we cannot rest here for the night it’s too dangerous. no one has ever lived here. no one has ever wanted to. all the maps of me are covered in dragons

My take on fic writing is that I don’t care what actually happened in canon.

- but I do need to get the price of tulips in 1850’s Paris right because that’s how I’m letting you guys know that my ignorance of the source material is a hard-earned and intentional kind of bliss.

the key to not having a terribly destabilizing moral freak out when you detect abusive traits and behaviors in yourself is to not put abusive people in the category of evil subhuman who can never be absolved or forgiven.

not to be a misogynist doctor from the 1800s but i’m pretty sure my uterus is moving around my body, biting my other organs, and also is possessed by the devil

This tweet is the distilled sentiment I’m trying to get across every time I vent about the pandemic on social media.

[Alt text: Tweet by twitter user @/LaurenRKayes from October 2nd, 2022. The tweet reads: “If you're nondisabled, whenever you say "you can't expect people to not [indoor activity] forever," I'd like you to check in on whether disabled people can safely do that thing. Because if not, you're excluding us as "people." And you might not notice, but we feel it every time.” End alt text.]

legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends

any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don’t have to choose what it is if they can’t make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you’re just gonna make food happen at their house.

friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.

someone’s relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.

buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.

pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that’s what they want.

people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.

legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.
