Using the bathroom in general is a human right and should be enshrined as such and I'm not joking. Too many groups of people are denied bathroom breaks or the use of bathrooms entirely--disabled people, blue-collar workers, children, homeless people, prisoners, students, the elderly. I'm surely missing other groups. Not using the bathroom when needed can cause serious, long-term damage, not to mention death. Free, clean, accessible bathrooms should be available everywhere. It's fucking cruel to deny someone the use of the bathroom, regardless of the reasoning. I'd rather every student in the world goof off and every homeless person make a mess and every worker "steal company time" than let one person suffer because they're denied the right to fucking pee in peace.

"well what happens if you have EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA in that lovely Victorian gown? hmm? huh? check and mate; modern clothing is superior!"
you fool
you underestimate the amount of dignity I will sacrifice on the Internet to be educational
because guess what? I got food poisoning in full Lucille Sharpe cosplay (with historical undergarments) at a friend's Halloween party last year
so I can tell you that, if you get intense diarrhea in a Victorian gown, you beat a speedy retreat to the toilet- and yes, post-1850s, there is a very good chance it WOULD be a flush toilet in many locations, but sub in "privy" if you like -you hike everything below the waist without regard for wrinkling, you arrange yourself on the toilet so that the crotch seam of your drawers is as wide open as humanly possible, you do not stray far from aforesaid toilet if you can avoid it, and at your earliest convenience you excuse yourself from public society to go home and change into more convenient loungewear for the duration of your affliction
kind of like you do in modern clothing
no, I would not say that the hiking of skirts and propping-open of drawers takes longer than unbuttoning and shoving down modern jeans/panties. no, nothing got soiled in the process
so now you know what happened when Victorian ladies got the shits. you're welcome
("but what if you're poor??? what if you're at work??? this is just rich people-" what do you do if you get diarrhea at work now? and don't think you can distract me from the fact that this question is generally meant as a smug, Well You THINK The Dresses Are Pretty, but ACKSHULLY... style of "gotcha," and therefore primarily brought up re: upper-class clothing)

Do the undead dookie?
[circumstances are shifting quickly during combat] . Matt: Laudna, you're up, with Chetney on deck. Marisha: Fuck. group: *laughs* Marisha: Things are– Things are changing so fast! Travis: (teasingly calm) Just keep saving the day. Marisha: (frazzled) Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Um… Laura: (in a Southern twang) Get out. Move it! Liam: (quietly encouraging) Let's go, casters. Taliesin: (nervously) Laudna… Marisha: Do I see–? Can I–? Shit. group: *laughs* Matt: (amused) You can… *chuckles* You can certainly try! Laura: (to Marisha) *Can* you? (to Liam) We haven't established if she shits. Travis: Her body is like *puffing noise*. Liam: She probably spits stuff out like an owl. It goes down and then *regurgitation sound*. Matt: Laudna pellets? Marisha: That's pretty good. Taliesin: You've found a magic item! Matt: (laughing) Oh god. . Critical Role — campaign 3, ep. 83 'Ruidus' (youtu.be/XFRu0oNpQaE)

One thing I hate about being neurospicy is not realizing that I have to use the restroom until I HAVE TO USE THE RESTROOM.

My cat Korben likes to lay on the bath mat in the bathroom. I’ll come in sometimes and he’s just asleep in the dark curled up on it.
Today I was rushing into the bathroom with an urgent Need and didn’t clock him immediately. I let loose a simultaneous burp-fart combo that was so loud and sudden it startled me. The next thing I heard was the terrified erratic galloping away of a cat in fear of his life as he flung himself out of the bathroom with enough force to fling the bath mat into space.

Currently, because of medical and sanitary reasons I need to shower every time I poop. (Literally I have to 'clean with soap and water,' but to me that still translates as just having to get in the damn shower.)
And let me tell you the INSURMOUNTABLE number of times I have stepped out of the shower just to IMMEDIATELY need to poop again is FUCKIGN BONKERS I'M LOSING IIIIT

not being constantly ashamed of your body is so freeing and awesome. i used to have so much summertime anxiety about underarm sweat showing. like it's a secret that i sweat? or like it's some kind of failing of my personal character that i sweat more than some other people? and now i just dont care. it doesnt matter?? i gave a speech in front of 1,300 people yesterday and didnt think about my sweaty armpits once. who cares?? if someone cares they have puerile values that i hope they have the chance to confront one day. not my problem.
i attribute this shift in attitude to getting a random disease that wasnt my fault and subsequently learning stuff about ableism; to aubrey gordon's book what we talk about when we talk about fat, which taught me a lot about the terrible ways we treat each other for the crime of having bodies; and just getting older, because when youre older you care less, i find.

[TW for puke talk]
Y'know those visual gags in manga and anime, when a character is so stressed about a project or something that they just throw up out of nowhere? Maybe they even go right back to talking or working after puking. Maybe they're sitting hunched over their computer fixing code an hour past their deadline, turning to the side to heave violently into a bowl, and returning harriedly to their screen like that didn't just happen, face a mess.
Anyway after watching my daughter the last couple of weeks, and ending up in the ER with her, I'm convinced those "visual gags" are simply things the actual artists experienced in real life. No matter how outrageous it looks, that really happened.

I think I’m incompetent at this whole “human” thing. Like what do you mean the meatsack needs to manually be fed this “food”-stuff or whatever, every four hours or so?
What do you mean it sends signals when in need of sustenance?
What signals? Mine doesn’t do that tf!?
I’m trying my best, okay! But the operating system is whack and it doesn’t fucking function properly! What am I supposed to do about it, huh!?
(I forgot to eat for 24 hours and did not realise, whoops. Didn’t even feel hungry about it tho, just like mildly off…)
