one is getting cucked by the bottom and the other is getting cucjed by the top. Subject matter experts discussing the sex like a sports panel

morganoperandi

One cuck always lies, the other always tells the truth. You have one question to determine who’s a top and who’s a bottom.

damn people rly hate type 2 diabetics don't they

quixoticanarchy

i (type 1 diabetic) was explaining autoimmune diseases to someone and she was like ohh right so yours is the good kind of diabetes where you didn't do it to yourself. to which i objected that's not how type 2 works either. and she said well that's the fat old people disease. and i was like you can't say that, a) not how it works and b) extremely rude. and her defense was her grandparents have type 2 and "did it to themselves" and since they're fat old people she reserves the right to hate on them. i understand hating shitty grandparents but YOU are the shitty one here to hate on them for their medical conditions and weight rather than literally anything else. hello?!

anyway type 2 diabetics i'm sorry about the world. everyone* be kind to type 2s or else

*note to type 1 diabetics especially we need to be better at solidarity and not cling to being the "good ones" at type 2s' expense. what the fuck is a good kind of diabetes anyway

quixoticanarchy

also worth saying diabetes is a complex reaction to a not-yet-fully-understood set of factors and environmental pressures and genetics and it's reductive and fatphobic to say fat=diabetes BUT EVEN SO no matter if someone did incontrovertibly "give themself diabetes" that's not a free pass for dehumanization. shut upppp

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

asneakyfox

btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.

they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.

it’s so important to follow people on tumblr who watch tv shows that you do not watch because sometimes they will put gifsets of beautiful women on your dash and you get to look at them

(for people who don’t know kathleen stock is an infamous British terf who triggered a whole “free speech” university row over her views)

this is what people mean when they say that transphobia and ableism are interlinked. because *of course* the same person who refuses to believe people when they assert their gender also refuses to believe them when they assert a disability. because who knows their bodies better than a random british upper-class white woman!

and at the end of the day it really boils down to this vindictive need to police and bully strangers because 1. why do you care about someone saying they’re a woman, dressing like a woman etc. and 2. why do you care about someone using a walking stick if they don’t 100% need it? the answer is, neither of those things affect your life, and you shouldn’t.

golly its almost like there was some kind of virus going around recently that gave a bunch of people lifelong disabilities. does anyone remember anything like that?

gean-grey-blog

COVID has definitely played a role and worsened these diseases for many people. But the specific illnesses they mention are POTS, hypermobility, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue.

Those are a collection of illnesses that have been understudied for at least the last 75 years because they disproportionately affect women/estrogen dominant people. They are finally receiving research, understanding, diagnosis. People who were gaslit into not even believing their experience of their own bodies are finally receiving information; being able to even access support, pain relief, mobility aids.

Women's bodies suddenly matter and they can't stand it

My grandma’s on and off again boyfriend that she cheated on grandpa with died today.

byjove

RIP to Nana’s side piece. Though they never married, Grandpa died in September and she brought his long term competition to Thanksgiving that year.

byjove

Grandma and Grandpa had a shotgun wedding when Grandma was 19. Grandpa went off to Vietnam which left her, a severely mentally young mother, alone. Never heard a complaint about her side piece Jeff. He seemed to make her happy and for that I salute him.

I’m an only child so I have to discuss sensitive family drama with my 38,000 followers instead.

femmmie

My grandmother broke up w my grandfather through a letter and he just pretended to have never read it. They got married and had three kids.

lucisthings6

My grandmother confessed on her death bed that:

Her and Grandpa were in a relationship with their best friends

The four of them have been in a relationship since they were teenagers

They flipped a bottle cap to see which girl the boys would marry

Their children could have either man as their biological father but their biological mother is the mum that raised them

The past two weeks has been chaos since her confession 😂

when someone has "taken" in their bio it's bc they've been consumed by the fog

homunculus-argument

Hey idk who needs this but helpful reminder that "virgin blood" in any witchcraft shit that requires that means "virgin" in the same sense as "virgin hair" means hair that hasn't been dyed or processed in any way, natural in the default sense. So no, "virgin blood" doesn't mean blood from a virgin, just blood that hasn't been used for any other kind of witchy shit earlier.

Whether nor not someone has fucked before is completely irrelevant. Any act of fucking doesn't instantly make someone contaminated or un-magic any of their shit. You're just not supposed to re-use blood for blood magic. That's just not. Just do not. Like that's just weird who does that.

homunculus-argument

no wait that- no that's not- no.

Unles you've like, poured out ALL OF YOUR BLOOD, used it for a spell, and then somehow SIPHONED THE WHOLE THING BACK IN, that doesn't mean the blood on the inside of you is also used. And even then, if you'd had your sacrifical blood IV'd back into your body-

actually nevermind, I need to draw a graph to illustrate:

I hope this helps.

wardenaristraith

The blood inside of you is used. Constantly. It's why there is blood there.

If anything, the blood on the outside is unused.

damn they ain't lying, it is like talking to a fucking genie with you people.

top notch interaction I had with the ambulance crew after my accident a couple years back:

paramedic: hi, I'm Allan

me: you told me. and your colleague is Jim, and the man who found me is Peter. guess my short-term memory is okay

Allan: ..are you doing a cognitive function test on yourself

dragon-in-a-fez

Allan, two minutes later, putting a third blanket around me: okay, how's that feeling now

me: well my feet are still freezing but it's okay, I know you need to focus on getting my core temperature up first

Allan: how many times has this happened to you

dragon-in-a-fez

noteworthy that they literally had a mask on me hooked up to a tank pumping narcotics into my lungs through all this, and my body temperature was like 34°. I would have been doing well to just have both eyes pointed in the same direction

Telling people with ME to exercise is so dangerous and I am not kidding when I say you need to get off your high horse of being a better disabled person all because you still are physically able to exercise. Do not give out advice that can literally kill people, especially with severe-very severe ME. And making videos shouting “if you don’t exercise, and you “let yourself lay in bed all day” and decondition you’re never going to get better!!!” all in the same fucking breath what is WRONG with you? Literally what is wrong with these people who have a taste of being sick and just think “ah, surely this one thing that has not cured anyone with ME/CFS ever is necessary and fundamental to YOU succeeding!” wtf??

“I have ME/CFS, the thing that helps me more than anything is exercise. I do get PEM, but I plan for it. If I go run(?!) or exercise, then I come home and shower then lay down in my room for about 30 minutes with the light off” is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard about ME and that’s saying something. PEM is not “after a run and a shower, I lay down for 30 minutes in the dark and I’m better” fuck out of here

No person with ME just “lets themselves” be stuck in bed. I “let myself be stuck in bed” so I definitely deserved the bed sores I got when I was too weak to be able to move my body to switch positions.

Also being bedbound isn’t for when you’re sick with a common cold or stomach flu. You can still get out of bed to go die in the bathroom and come back and repeat. It is not the same. And it certainly isn’t a choice. You want to be us so badly and yet you hate everything to do with us. It’s fucking weird.

what is PEM?

unwell-radio-transmissions

hi OP or anyone else knowledgeable about. Have question. (Context have moderate-severe fatigue + POTS).

initially diagnosed with POTS (by POTS specialist) bc exercise physiologist noted PEM in behaviour/symptom logs. was told at time PEM is characteristic of POTS.

now do more independent research some say PEM is exclusively ME symptom. Other say PEM in POTS is bc ME comorbidity & smaller other say POTS cause Post Exertional Symptom Exasperation.

anyone have knowledge or experience about PEM as symptom and whether Always ME? (Yes have brought up with different drs lots, yes we know how that goes)

thank you anyone who have time/energy for answer.

talkethto-thehandeth

Hello.

Post exertional symptom exacerbation means (to those who don’t know) after you exert yourself, your symptoms get worse. However, this is a very wide umbrella by using the word “symptoms”. That can mean anything from tachycardia to joint pain. It’s widespread for a reason.

Post exertional malaise is found, as far as I know based on recent studies/medical opinions, exclusively with ME. Even though PESE is similar in some ways. And some have theorized that if someone with long covid claims to have PEM, then they probably got ME triggered by the infection instead. Because long COVID describes an umbrella term of all the symptoms that happened after a post viral infection.

X (2022)

PEM doesn’t just involve the symptoms of a condition to flare for a period after exertion, and then improve quickly with rest and treatment. And the onset can happen a day or two after. A symptom flare from exertion can be almost immediately after one has done something strenuous. PEM can last for months. One usually recovers from exertion MUCH sooner.

When someone triggers PEM, it is resulting in a “level of fatigue that is more profound, more devastating, and longer lasting than is observed in patients with other fatiguing disorders.” Because it is not just fatigue. This is affecting us on a cellular level. And it’s an abnormal response to the level of activity that was done.

A lot of terms are being interchanged, and you’ll find PESE listed on that site too, but for now PEM is exclusive to ME. One of my theories is many people with POTS/LC or more don’t know they have ME, and that’s why they report PEM.
