Claire probably suffers from Limerence…

I’m not as articulate as you girlies, so here goes nothing and I tried to think outside of my Sydcarmy biases.

When we meet Claire at the fridge red flag 🚩 numero uno: Carmen does not remember her name or possible her. If he was in love with her as suggested in ‘forks’ I’d think he would remember her especially if he drew her. I never forget muses cause you’re essentially studying every detail of that persons face barring major changes but she looks like her childhood photos and the drawing from the panic attack.

We then get the dialogue about her job and how it isn’t chill, and he wants to know why she chose that considering the intensity. Then she tells the story about Katy breaking her arm and we get to a fundamental difference in who they are: she wants to explore how things work while he wants to fix things and make them better. Not a red flag just a core human belief that may pose difficulty in a relationship.

He consciously gives her the wrong number (flag on the play) he hesitates at the end.

Next episode we get the fake number debacle that she can’t let go of, babe read the room. Yes your feelings should have been hurt and you should have put your big girl pants and move on. Why are you threatening someone to date you 🚩, he’s hesitating again. She’s so weird about it and she probably thinks it’s endearing and cute but its off putting.

Then we hear about deceased Big Denny and her mom who absolutely thriving. She says that she didn’t want to talk about Michael because she didn’t want to make him sad but the way she discussed the living and dead seemed abhorrent considering he has a recently deceased brother.

From there on out everything she proceeds to do and ignore rings so many alarms. She’s actively ignoring everything because she has had this idealised version of what this attractive chef man with tattoos is like.

Probably thought about her wedding and life without being present and noting how she and this boy are so fundamentally different. That’s the only way I can empathise with her saying she’s loves him when all their interactions were so hollow. She’s fallen in love with a idea that she’s held unto from her childhood. But he doesn’t remember you and doesn’t reciprocate the same effort or energy because he’s no longer that boy and you’re both different and it’s not meant to be and that’s ok.

At least her friend was there so she has a shoulder to cry on after being hurt because she was purposely obtuse. So it’s full circle for her and her friend, just like it’s full circle on her and Carmy’s relationship that started and ended at the fridge.

One other thing that stuck out was the song that’s playing when they finally have that conversation in the car, the one line that stuck out was ‘I make you so unhappy’ - ‘Anytime’ by Neil Finn. It stands out because at that point the there’s a lull in dialogue. The editors are so funny.

after recently gaining access to my medical records, i am mystified to discover that instead of recording my regular t-shot as "sustanon injection, intramuscular" (as is standard), the doctor i saw last week chose to record it as "problem: gender. history: ongoing."

I found an extremely dope disability survival guide for those who are homebound, bedbound, in need of disability accommodations, or would otherwise like resources for how to manage your life as a disabled person. (Link is safe)

It has some great articles and resources and while written by people with ME/CFS, it keeps all disabilities in mind. A lot of it is specific to the USA but even if you're from somewhere else, there are many guides that can still help you. Some really good ones are:

How to live a great disabled life- A guide full of resources to make your life easier and probably the best place to start (including links to some of the below resources). Everything from applying for good quality affordable housing to getting free transportation, affordable medication, how to get enough food stamps, how to get a free phone that doesn't suck, how to find housemates and caregivers, how to be homebound, support groups and Facebook pages (including for specific illnesses), how to help with social change from home, and so many more.

Turning a "no" into a "yes"- A guide on what to say when denied for disability aid/accommodations of many types, particularly over the phone. "Never take no for an answer over the phone. If you have not been turned down in writing, you have not been turned down. Period."

How to be poor in America- A very expansive and helpful guide including things from a directory to find your nearest food bank to resources for getting free home modifications, how to get cheap or free eye and dental care, extremely cheap internet, and financial assistance with vet bills

How to be homebound- This is pretty helpful even if you're not homebound. It includes guides on how to save spoons, getting free and low cost transportation, disability resources in your area, home meals, how to have fun/keep busy while in bed, and a severe bedbound activity master list which includes a link to an audio version of the list on Soundcloud

Master List of Disability Accommodation Letters For Housing- Guides on how to request accommodations and housing as well as your rights, laws, and prewritten sample letters to help you get whatever you need. Includes information on how to request additional bedrooms, stop evictions, request meetings via phone, mail, and email if you can't in person, what you can do if a request is denied, and many other helpful guides

Special Laws to Help Domestic Violence Survivors (Vouchers & Low Income Housing)- Protections, laws, and housing rights for survivors of DV (any gender), and how to get support and protection under the VAWA laws to help you and/or loved ones receive housing and assistance

Dealing With Debt & Disability- Information to assist with debt including student loans, medical debt, how to deal with debt collectors as well as an article with a step by step guide that helped the author cut her overwhelming medical bills by 80%!

There are so many more articles, guides, and tools here that have helped a lot of people. And there are a lot of rights, resources, and protections that people don't know they have and guides that can help you manage your life as a disabled person regardless of income, energy levels, and other factors.

I think that more fanfiction should be written with the aim to tackle the original meaning of hanahaki. Because when the concept of hanahaki disease was originally created, it was intended to be a metaphor for suppressing one’s feelings.

Your feelings are this beautiful garden of flora inside of your chest. When you express how you feel honestly, you allow for it to grow freely. But when you hide how you feel out of fear of rejection, and try to make it smaller and smaller, the flowers become cramped inside of you, until you choke on your own feelings. Every flower you cough up is something you’ve felt, but refused to say.

The whole “dying” thing is intended to be more symbolic especially. You’re killing off bits and pieces of yourself and how you feel, because you’re afraid to express yourself.

It’s not really supposed to be, “The one I love doesn’t love me back, and I’m dying from it.” Rather, it’s more along the lines of, “Repressing your emotions is bad for you, and it’s better and healthier to express them freely, even when it’s scary.”

Which is to say that, one, the cure for the disease should be telling the person that you are in love with how you feel. How the other person feels about the person afflicted should have nothing to do with it, as the trope is meant to be about feeling your emotions unapologetically.

And that, two, it’s not an inherently romantic trope. Obviously, it has romantic applications, but it can be written for any situation where a character is hiding how they truly feel. This can include a refusal to address a specific trauma, a desire to indulge in something that they’re ashamed of, and even really practical things, like wanting to ask one’s boss for a higher position.

Although (as an aromantic person myself) I don’t agree with this conclusion about the trope, this application would also avoid people calling it arophobic. When the thing killing the character is a refusal to be honest with themselves, rather than an unrequited love, it’s on nobody’s hands but their own to save their life.

There are a ton of ways that this interpretation of the hanahaki disease could be applied in new and interesting ways in fanfiction, and I’d love to read what things people could come up with!

It is no secret that Israel attacks the most vulnerable and will do so by any means. The truth is in everyone's face yet so many people refuse to see this as a genocide.

It's been two weeks since Applejack's family fled alongside the other ponies of Ponyville. She's been roaming the acreage for three days on end and she currently has only one good leg left for bucking.

Rainbow Dash may have been the first of the mane six to be infected as her need for speed was core to her personality. As a result, little moments of impatience or rushing ponies went unnoticed. Rainbow was diagnosed despite her denial during her back-to-back racing episodes.

Fluttershy has reclused herself within the Everfree Forest to tend to maximize her caretaking. She has succumbed to her Timberwolf injuries.

Rarity has become a shut-in and uses her artistic expression to cope. Her memories of her friends have been replaced with nonsensical sewing bursts which will inevitably be thrown into the pile of duds. Ponyville is roughly 80% evacuated at this point in time.

Pinkie Pie has to withstand the smell of Mr. and Mrs. Cakes as she dances once again for a fourth night. The couple has passed ever since Pinkie started showing symptoms. No pony is left to intervene.

Less than three months after U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin and her colleagues launched an investigation into the four major American manufacturers of inhalers, three of the companies have relented, making commitments to cap costs for their inhalers at $35 for patients who now pay much more.

25 million Americans have asthma and 16 million Americans have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), meaning over 40 million Americans rely on inhalers to breathe.

Inhalers have been available since the 1950s, and most of the drugs they use have been on the market for more than 25 years.

According to a statement from the Wisconsin Senator’s office, inhaler manufacturers sell the exact same products at a much lower costs in other countries. One of AstraZeneca’s inhalers, Breztri Aerosphere, costs $645 in the U.S.—but just $49 in the UK. Inhalers made by Boehringer Ingelheim, GlaxoSmithKline, and Teva have similar disparities.

Baldwin and her Democratic colleagues—New Mexico Sen. Ben Ray Luján, Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders—pressured the companies to lower their prices by writing letters to GSK, Boehringer Ingelheim, Teva, and AstraZeneca requesting a variety of documents that show why such higher prices are charged in America compared to Europe.

As a ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Baldwin recently announced that as a result of the letters they had secured commitments from three of the four to lower the out-of-pocket costs of inhalers to a fixed $35.00 rate.

“For the millions of Americans who rely on inhalers to breathe, this news is a major step in the right direction as we work to lower costs and hold big drug companies accountable,” said Senator Baldwin.

A full list of the inhalers and associated drugs can be viewed here.

It’s the second time in the last year that pharmaceutical companies were forced to provide reasonable prices—after the cost of insulin was similarly capped successfully at $35 per month thanks to Congressional actions led by the White House.
