When someone is explaining something to you and you get hit with the realization that you haven’t retained anything that has been said to you and the moment they stop talking you won’t be able to recall any part of it

Defense against a guy in a chair

hey folks - im working on a project for a class that deals with pathologization and femininity, and i would love to include first-hand accounts from women (and people incorrectly identified as women) who have chronic illnesses and/or have had trouble receiving medical care. i, for instance, have pcos, and my main concern with it is insulin resistance, since im at high risk for diabetes. when i was first diagnosed as a nonbinary teenager i felt a bit alienated by the majority of pcos resources, which aimed at adult women who hadnt been diagnosed until they tried to have a baby and had issues with fertility. im interested in critiquing that gap in diagnosis - as well as the lack of research when it comes to almost all diseases that primarily affect women.

if you would like to contribute, or even just point me in a direction, please message me on here or email me at [email protected] - thank you!!!

You can join The Suffer Dome on discord if you have a chronic illness and want to chat with other people that do too.

So I'll just leave this here https://discord.gg/wyFpQzE

At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA. At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job.  At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer. 

At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.   At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.

At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter.  At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker.  At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career to pursue acting at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first movie role until he was 46.

Morgan Freeman landed his first movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow only reached international success when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it. 

Never tell yourself you missed your chance. 

Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough. 

You can do it. Whatever it is.

Sometimes when I wake up it feels like I had to claw myself out of my own grave the previous night. My body aches, my back is sore, and the little amount of sleep I was able to get feels like it did nothing for my pain.

The decline of tumblr is a damn shame. What other hellsite could provide such peak comedy? Just absolute trash humor developed over years of rigorous study at the Garbage Academy. Such a longstanding yet wildly unstable love-hate relationship with so many bastards

Having a bad sense of balance sometimes makes me feel like a newborn deer when I’m walking on even slightly wet surfaces

[youngchronicpain]

I hate when one part of my body is hurting, so I shift my weight and put the pressure on the other side of my body, and then THAT part of me starts to hurt as well.

This is how I used to teach a couple of students how to create vehicles or weird creatures when they had trouble coming up with ideas

I like being invited to things. I don’t necessarily like going But I like being invited.
