I love that people can get through illnesses and disabilities with religion but I hate religious people manipulating disabled and sick people with the promise of a cure .
God won't cure me , rocks won't cure me and neither does gut diets but they can help feel better. Don't blame sick people for their pain because of their "lack of faith" or mental health.

I wish I could express my gratitude with different words, but sometimes I feel as if I could not say anything but THANK YOU.
You, four beautiful creatures, have been a pivotal and abiding presence, especially after I was diagnosed with a chronic disease: without you, I wouldn't have been able to face my fears and the obstacle life has put my way.
Back to the Light is the album of my rebirth, but all of you embody the safe haven that has welcomed me and helped me pick up the pieces to be whole again. There are still cracks but from them the light spreads its wings and shows itself because of you and your shining beacon.
Thank you Freddie, Brian, Roger and John for being "there" when happiness seemed to be a fleeting dream. Thank you for being "there" when the ground seemed to crumble under my feet. Thank you for still being my anchor, my outstretched hand and my pivotal essence of a life worth to be lived at its fullest because of your everlasting presence.
I love you. Forevermore. 🤍

yeah i'm transmasc.... too masc for the women's department and too gay for the men's. every single article of clothing is a fucking hate crime.
for the record, i will buy stuff off the women's racks if i like it enough but the problem is that everything is hideous and a personal insult to my senses. i would also rather die than wear a polo shirt, so jot that down.

Daily reminder that I absolutely love how disabled Geralt is in the books. Like it doesn't go away! It's not just a passing mention once or twice--I mean, in fact the text never fails to let the reader know whenever Geralt's leg hurts (it's never said but I also wonder if there's a correlation between his pain level and how grumpy he is at a given moment). But also like it affects his ability to fight at times, too. He can't quite do things the way he used to.
Still he gets to be badass and disabled.
(Ngl I've heard slightly Worrying things about Lady of The Lake in regards to all this but I dunno. Right now I'm halfway though Tower of Swallows and I am thriving.)

I am not a fighter.
I am full of anger, yes, but
I could not walk for a hundred miles of cracked and burning landscape,
with the weight of all evil around my neck,
nor could I carry the ringbearer.
I cannot wield a sword, nor a bow, nor an axe,
I cannot hold a staff, nor command an army.
here, of this, I have no use.
But.
I can stay. I will sleep at night, 'mid grassy fields,
I will wake to sunshine and smoking chimneys,
I will sweep and dust and tend the garden, Samwise Gamgee, Frodo Baggins,
I cannot hold a sword but I can hold the Shire,
keep it safe and warm and set it back,
once the Balrogs leave, the armies desert,
I will tend this patch of paradise for you, knowing
you will not return the same
I know. I understand.
none of us will be the same, not really
but I will light the lamps and turn the covers,
put the kettle on and sit with you by the fire.
I am happy to listen, or sit in silence.
I know. I understand.
you do not have to be strong for me, Samwise Gamgee, Frodo Baggins,
we us each all have our strengths, and yours
have already been exalted. you need not do more.
I cannot hold a sword, but I will hold the Shire,
and give you somewhere to come back to.

I've been out of here for a while now, only running on queue. I've been in the hospital for 20 days and counting. Chronic illnesses are a pain in the ass, but I'm stronger than it!
