The term “situationship” is KILLING romance!

[evildilf2]

Why take something beautiful and fascinating like an undefined impractical romance and describe it with some vape-esque word like situationship. A spiritually heterosexual word. You’re supposed to write genre defining poetry about this kind of madness, and yet “situationship” is the term we’re choosing to use these days. OKAY.

AND YET!

Pope Leo is letting American bishops entirely ban trans healthcare for both minors and adults in all Catholic-owned hospitals and clinics, and stop coverage for trans healthcare through Catholic-affiliated health insurance plans!!

People are having surgeries, for which they were on waitlists for years, suddenly cancelled. Hormones no longer covered, their clinicians no longer able to prescribe them. Considering in some states Catholic-owned healthcare organizations make up to a third of the market, as it were, this is a HUGE issue.

‘It’s a Nightmare’: The Human Toll of the Catholic Church’s Trans Healthcare Ban

Missing hormones. Canceled surgeries. Bureaucratic denials. Late last year the Catholic Church banned all trans healthcare across its sprawl

This has been happening since November of last year, when this vote took place, but no one is talking about it. The rehabilitation of the image of the papacy through Pope Leo is killing me, it’s still the goddamn Catholic Church. You do not gotta hand it to them.

For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.

Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.

[chapscher]

Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.

Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.

Personal tips for screen work with a migraine

As we move deep into September, most universities have finished freshers week (at least in the UK) and are starting to teach.

This is both really exciting, but can lead to some problems - especially for my fellow migraine spoonies.

Because, it is a truth that is universally acknowledged, that a migraine will hit at the worst time possible.

Every time.

I have never had one yet that would come on when it was convenient.

And while some things can be put on hold - other deadlines just can't. As a recent uni student, I know that very painful feeling.

So today I wanted to share a few personal tips I found that let me at least get a little work done when a migraine hit.

But a quick reminder before we get to the list - these are only from personal experience (and they certainly won't make the pain go away when a migraine hits). These tips don't treat migraines, and I'm not recommending working through one either. These tips are not a substitute for taking a proper break, medication, and resting.

Let's get started:

Change fonts to those that are easier on the eyes – such as comic sans or other dyslexia friendly fonts - I personally like to use Comic sans as I find it very easy to read – especially with a headache. But play around and find which fonts work best for you.

Change the background colour in Word to something other than white, or activate night mode (if your device has this available) - I personally have found that changing the background to a soft grey in Word really helps me when I am working. But again, try out different colours and find what works best for you.

 Take regular screen breaks - These do not have to be long. It is commonly recommended that every 20 mins you should look at something that is 20 feet away from you for 20 seconds. Alternative breakdowns could be working for 30 mins, and then looking away from the screens for 5 mins. When I am experiencing a migraine attack, the screen time is dramatically reduced, and the rest time increases.

What tips do you have that allow you to finish time-sensitive work when experiencing a migraine? Let me know in the comments below!

Sending spoonie hugs!

Here's some of my tips if you're struggling with hygiene and can't shower as often as you want/need to, for whatever reasons:

Putting cleaning wipes, deodorant and lotion in reach of your bed

putting baby wipes in reach of the toilet

Breaking up tasks and doing them with breaks in between and as much in bed/sitting down as you can. For example i can brush my teeth more often if i wash my face not in the sink but in bed

Baby wipes, makeup wipes, disposable wash cloths, disposable toothbrushes, etc. exist to help. Use them if you can and don't be afraid to create trash

If anyone else has something to add to this please do!

[cgsdraws]

When you take a shower, if you don’t have a shower chair, lean on things.

Make sure to lay, lean, and sit as much as possible. It’s ok to take time, it’s ok to take breaks.

BREAKS. BREAKS. BREAKS.

[a-totally-reasonable-username]

You can put a towel on the floor of your shower and sit on it while showering if you can't use a shower chair for any reason. You can put one in your back and lean against the shower wall. It's not as hygienic as a shower chair but it is much more so than not showering

[inber]

tip: taking medication whilst laying on your right side can make pills dissolve 2.3 times faster than other postures, and therefore potentially work quicker.

My incredibly bleak philosophy of compassion is that we should all pity each other horribly and practice an according amount of kindness.

[flowerbleedme]

I asked for a pastry at the coffee shop. When I raised my card up to pay, he simply said "you're good." and waved it away. I wondered why. I wondered what made him think I deserved to have my order be free. Sparing me those two dollars.

Sitting down at the table, I remembered the scars on my arm. The universal signifier of "This Kid Needs Help." Maybe his kindness was only out of pity. He saw those and assumed there was some great misery and wanted to offer me some relief. It's generally good to be kind to people who are hurting. But I wasn't hurting that bad.

The thing is, there is some great misery. People generally aren't doing that great. There is a great misery within me and within him and within everyone, and some people notice the pain, some people express it, others don't. But we all suffer from something.

It doesn't matter if someone seems to deserve some relief. Everyone needs it. Everyone is suffering constantly. Some more than others, but still. This Kid Needs Help applies to everyone.

Thirty minutes later, I went to get a second pastry, intending to pay and leave a tip this time. It was the same cashier. As he reached to grab it for me, I saw scars on his arm.

But it doesn't really matter. He'd deserve a tip anyway. Because it's never just us hurting.
