doing my anatomy study is fucking torturous bc every time i read some shit like “birds dont have a diaphragm” my brains like “hmmmm…… birdperson…..” and then i end up thinking abt him instead of studying
#it is rlly fun tho. thinking deeply abt alien (bird guy) biology all the time#ok typing this bc its fun and counts as revision.#(if i get anything wrong idgaf. this is from memory)#birds only have tiny kinda rigid lungs so they have a bunch of air sacs instead for air to flow into#and no diaphragm! so they use the intercostal muscles to breathe in and out#which r like the muscles around the ribs#but also means if u squeeze them around the middle they cant breathe#birds also have a kinda weird digestive system due to not having teeth etc#but of course bp .. does. but his diet is similar to that of seed eating birds#we dont see him eat i dont think. ?#its possible he has a mixed style of digestive system.. with a stomach like a human and gizzard like a bird#assuming he just swallows seeds whole without chewing lol#hmmm… id say its probably more likely he just has a proventriculus/gizzard combo and maybe like. a larger proventriculus than normal birds#hard to say. we dont rlly know enough abt his diet ig#altho i imagine it to be omnivorous#also smth fun is birds often swallow stones to help digest seeds. now if he chewed it probably wouldnt be necessary. but think abt it. silly#ok take this w a pinchhh of salt. but diet aside the teeth could be used simply for speech.#i vaguely remember learning abt that in language.#also he does Canonically have a cloaca ! wont go into that rn. but hmmm. much to think abt.#basiclaly bp pussy reallllll#kinda.#in the ways that matter !#oooooh what else.#ooooh. yes. birds dont have vocal chords. they have a syrinx for vocalisation#but of coursee bp can talk.#butttt there are birds that can imitate human speech. so its possible bp just uses similar techniques for speech#but it also gives him a far greater control over his voice than most … making him perfect as the lead singer :]#oh and ummm. he veryyyy likely has hollow bones. so even tho hes huge hes deceptively light. TEE HEE#ok thats it. i need to actaully revise this shit now LOL#but ooohhgghhhg. i need him.

I think it's really funny when fundies are also super into the crunchy lifestyle like bestie your whole system is based on a dude with magical powers born from a virgin you can take a tylenol and stop feeding your infant raw milk now

Every year since I turned 28 has been totally different from the last... But one thing that's consistent is that every year is worse than the last and my self esteem is constantly dropping. I don't even like seeing myself anymore. Every year someone says something about "omg this year is going by so faaast. January is just a few months awayyyy" and I realize I'm only a few months away from being a whole year older.
And then there's the people constantly making jokes about how "26 is basically expired in the desi community"... Meanwhile I'm sitting there like 🙂🙂🙂.
It's honestly exhausting.

Man I used to sympathize people with chronic illness, but now I can really empathize. This shit sucks and it has the worst snowball effect too.
#helped my friend with her art booth at a con this weekend and it wasn’t even like a ton of work but it fucking exhausted me so much#I think I pushed myself too far because I also got sick and now I feel like shit and I’m so so so tired#and of course this is with steroids. like the drug that gives you energy to do shit and I’m barely functioning at work#I’m going to up my dose to 30mg bc the doctor said I could. cause even at 20 I’m still getting crohns symptoms#nothing like picking up groceries and feeling sudden impending doom where you have to get to a toilet as soon as possible#and then being so tired from just picking up groceries that you don’t have energy to make food#so you just lay in bed but you can’t sleep because you’re in pain and it’s hard to breathe from this stupid cold#this cold shouldn’t be kicking my ass but of course my steroids are immunosuppressants so it’s like I have fucking Covid#(I don’t have Covid)#and then crying because even on the steroids I still have to follow this stupid miserable diet because apparently#my body just fucking hates all good food#including goddamn rice#RICE!#not to mention the fact that prednisone can make your vision bad and it’s been making it hard for me to read even with my glasses on#and the foot cramps. idk what that’s about but I’m drinking so much water and taking supplements#anyways. rant over. hope I can work tomorrow. I accidentally slept thru my alarm today and was an hour late#personal

Yesterday, while talking about my serving job, my office coworker said, “You ever feel like you’re in a Broadway show, like it’s just the same thing repeating night after night?” I said, “Absolutely. There’s a song in the Beetlejuice musical where he goes, ‘I do this bullshit, like, eight times a week,’ and I swear I think of it every single day on my way to work.”
A couple of weeks ago a woman at one of my tables asked if I’m “in the theater” and I said no, and she was like, “oh, you just seem like you have that personality.” I don’t need to join the local theater, ma’am, I already act for a living at this job. You’re simply seeing through the cracks in my carefully crafted but summer-worn worksona. I said to my coworker, “I was just assigned theater kid by this woman,” and they said, “She probably clocked that you’re gay but she’s too straight to realize it so she was like, ‘She must…do theater.’”

it's a special kind of torture to be forced to be around older women who don't talk about anything but their diets and their hatred of the weight they've gained when you have a history with disordered eating

Once again chanting in my mind "graphic card" to avoid snapping at my mother saying dumb shit
#how do you always get to the wrong conclusion of everything oh my godddddd#yeah yeah a lot is wrong with doctors like a fucking lot I'm well aware I've suffered huge amount of pains for years for that#but she says it from a novax point of view so she's still wrong by saying the right thing and it annoys me so much!#obviously she's too fucking fatphobic to see how that is one of the biggest issues in medicine#fun fact my father is not taking meds to heal from something that could actually kill him because it stops him from eating#that's apparently okay but vaccines aren't#someone should study their brains under a microscope#also my father problem was probably caused by the extreme diet he did that was mostly starvation#at least i feel better about myself#sometimes i get very depressed about all the things I'll never be able to do because i fucked my wrist at 18 but at least i did that#crocheting#he completely destroyed his health to lose weight#also even more fun thing he wanted to lose weight for reasons that didn't have anything to do with the weight he probably just can't eat#grains#he got better as soon as he stopped eating normal pasta and switched to the fake ones made with rice and stuff#they didn't connect the dot#but the second i thin person started to have issues breathing#that are definitely side effects of covid btw#grains were immediately blamed#god i shouldn't get into these rants because i just get mad at their stupidity AND I NEED TO STAY CALM FOR THE GRAPHIC CARD#and especially not build enough represed rage about it to risk trying to choke my mother the next time she says it's fine i lost all that#weight#sure it's fine losing weight because of illness and depression is fucking wonderful#i have to fight with myself most days to eat enough but sure that's fine I'm staying thin!

not to be one of those radical anti medicine/“modern medicine is an agent of social control, pathologizing/medicalizing behaviors society considers imoral, ugly, wrong, that deviate from our normal/acceptable bc if it’s a disease, it it’s an illness, if it isn’t how ppl are supposed to be or behave, then we don’t have to accept these ppl and their behaviors, we can instead focus on curing them so they can become healthy and normal and moral again” activists (esp bc im a doctor LMFAOO imagine the fucking irony) but we gotta STOOOOOP pretending we (ie our society) really actually truly honestly gives a fuck about eating disorders.
society only gives a fuck about bodies they label as repulsive and unattractive. especially female bodies!!! it’s only when they are “forced” to see ppl existing in bodies (too thin or too fat) labeled as unnatural, as ugly that eating habits become an issue.
we fucking THRIVE on disordered eating!!! what girl doesn’t have at least one memory of being body shamed by their mother? who hasn’t at least seen one “omg i also live in a ‘mom only eats a handful of nuts’ household!!”? influencers and celebrities make fucking bank advertising weight loss shakes and teas on social media. not to mention the billion dollar industry of diet and weight loss books.
it’s when bodies become bothersome, when they become unattractive (“men don’t like fat girls”/“men like girls with big butts and boobs and small bellies”/“men like a little bit of meat to hold on, who wants to hold a skeleton??”. always men always women alwaysalwaysalways men dictating what women need to look like alwaysalwaysalways a normal body is a body men want to fuck and show off and lust after) that they become sick bodies.
on the dsm criteria for anorexia? must have low bmi. oh, u have every single behavior of anorexia but u have a high bmi? nah, sorry, that’s not anorexia! oh, u have every single anorexia behavior but a high bmi? then congratulations on starting ur weight loss journey, we’re so proud of u!!
oh, so u used a diuretic/laxative or u fasted before a big event bc u want to look good/fit in ur outfit? omg we’re just like kim k on the met gala!!! omg noooo, it’s not an issue, it’s only like once in a while, relax!
eating the entire mcdonalds menu on a tiktok video? it’s a mukang when they r thin and a “today i had a binge episode” video when they r fat.
the sickness of eating disorders isn’t, ironically, in the eating behavior, it’s in the body that bears the behaviors.
(if u try arguing w/ me on this post i want u to know ill fucking doxx u u ugly rat, i have enough money to pay a good lawyer i won’t even hesitate!!!!)
