Wunmi Mosaku, a graduate of London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, has done her share of memorizing pages and pages of scripts. ⁠

The ‘Sinners’ Oscar nominee tells Katey Rich about her unique memorization technique: using blue paper, which allowed Mosaku to cope with the dyslexia diagnosis she received as a teenager.⁠

I don’t think healthy people every really get chronic illness.

I have a friend I know from when we were both 6. She is the only person living nearby and so she saw me go from walking through limping to wheelchair on a daily basis. I keep her updated on my health even tho we rarely hang out anymore. She was gonna come over yesterday and I had to cancel. She asked if I can’t hang out later that day. When I said i won’t feel better later, that if I feel that bad in the morning later will only get worse she got annoyed and “joked” that I’m just finding excuses. And I was surprised, she knows all about me being disabled after all? So, a bit taken aback, I told her it’s a normal thing for me.

“But you got the diagnosis now, aren’t you better?? I thought you’ll get better now”

She was honestly surprised and it made me realize a thing. They don’t get it. They don’t get that getting diagnosed only equals benefits like welfare or parking spot for us, and sometimes better pain meds but that is just like pushing luck. That it’s a forever thing. That that one day we felt good a week ago was just a bright spot and doesn’t mean we won’t need our aids anymore, cause chronic illness is not linear and will make a great comeback in next four hours, and the next good day is planned on when we’re 70. Cause when abled people are sick, they get better. And our illness is just an excuse for them. And when we say we will never get better they think we’re being dramatic and pessimistic. And I don’t think they’ll ever get it, cause to get it you need to live it. And I want my friends to stay healthy and not go through hell.

This is definitely okay to reblog and abled people are encouraged to reblog cause maybe it’ll help others understand

Friendly heat wave reminder that libraries and museums both need to have really good air conditioning systems to keep their items safe.

Libraries are always free to be in and typically encourage loitering, and most college museums in our area are free and open to the public.

Mamdani is showing the world that the greatest policies are public policies: invest in The People.

[smokefalls]

The whole Abrahamic world invests itself in this promise: Don’t lie, don’t cheat, don’t fuck or steal or kill, and you’ll be a good person. Eight of the ten commandments are about what thou shalt not. But you can live a whole life not doing any of that stuff and still avoid doing any good. That’s the whole crisis. The rot at the root of everything. The belief that goodness is built on a constructed absence, not-doing. That belief corrupts everything, has everyone with any power sitting on their hands.

Rest in peace Akihiro Miwa (1935-2026)

I haven't seen anyone talking about this and just wanted to make a quick post on here.

Akihiro Miwa recently passed away peacefully june 20th, and was not only a drag queen and a queer icon, but also the japanese voice of Arceus in the movie Arceus and the jewel of life, as well as the witch from Howl's moving castle and Moro from Princess Mononke.

Rest in peace and thank you for the wonderfull impact you made in this world.

PSA:

Acetaminophen/paracetamol has a hard stop upper dose limit, above which it becomes extremely toxic.

That limit is 4g (8 “extra strength” (500mg) tablets) in 24 hours (about 2 tablets every 6 hours).

A single dose of 22 extra strength tablets can kill you.

Taking 12 or more tablets per day for more than a week can also kill you (this is about 3 tablets every 6 hours).

Symptoms of overdose take up to 24 hours to manifest, and are fairly difficult to distinguish from other problems. They include abdominal pain (especially right upper quadrant), nausea, malaise, and confusion.

The antidote (n-acetylcystine) must be given within 8hours of ingestion in order to be useful.

After 10 hours the only thing that will work is a liver transplant.

You might think “why would I ever accidentally take so much?”

Well, acetaminophen is in almost everything in the cold/flu/pain aisle. Migraine combos like Excedrin, cold and flu combos like NyQuil, basically anything that says “non-aspirin pain relief”, and anything that’s branded as a fever reducer. It’s all probably acetaminophen/paracetamol.

So the goal of this post is to get you to read the labels on your medications. Because taking taking Tylenol and NyQuil together for a week (like you might if you had the flu) could kill you.

Please don't forget this shit, after it happened to a family member, he died 8 years later because of the continuing health complications even though he survived the initial overdose

[cakeisnotpie]

I didn't know this for years, and I took so many pills, sometimes 4 at one go, every four hours, like 16 a day, because of endometriosis and migraines. It took a migraine specialist to explain rebound headaches and overdoses when I was in my 40s. Then I went cold turkey on all OTC drugs to get off the cycle. Please, please, if a couple tylenol aren't working for you, talk to your doctor or find one who will listen to you if you can.

Feel free to skip this because I feel like it’s kind of hard to answer, but how did you know that you wanted to be in a QPR?

I’m aroace and am on the ends of the spectrums where I feel no romantic or sexual attraction at all. The idea of being in a “relationship” of any sort kind of feels wrong to me, and I feel like I would feel like a bad boyfriend if I didn’t like my queer platonic partner romantically/sexually or even find them attractive. (I think everyone is beautifully unique but I just don’t quite find anyone attractive.)

On the other hand, I do feel an abundance of love that isn’t sexual or romantic, and having someone to be my life partner and keep me company would be nice. I have friends that I would enjoy living with too.

Basically, I’m not sure if I actually want a QPR or if it’s just internalized allonormativity. I’d love to hear any of your experiences with realizing that a QPR was right for you. Happy pride!

jfurifjf Sorry I'm replying to this on the last day of pride month! Life has been really busy and for a change I've been sucky at replying to asks TwT

I didn't really like... Know I wanted it? It's more like, it fell on me. My queerplatonic partner, a close friend at the time, asked me if I knew about the term (I didn't) and if I'd be up for it and my response at the time was something akin to "So... Kinda like what we've been doing up til now anyways?" (Or as they would put it when telling the story: "lol, same".)

I also don't feel any romantic or sexual attraction but have plenty of platonic love to give, and I'm prone to getting lonely, which is something far from reserved to people who want a romantic and/or sexual relationship, if you ask me. I have wants out of life that I feel are similar to what you're describing here, and while I'm also pretty sure I'd have been fine without it as well, it's a great opportunity to get to vibe with someone and have that companionship without expectations of romance or sex, so to me, it felt too good to pass up on if we can make it happen. It depends on everyone and I'm not necessarily expecting it to last forever, but then again, few human relationships of any nature last forever, sadly.

One thing I do want to stress is... I see a lot of people who seem to conflate a queer platonic relationship with pretty much just a romantic/sexual relationship - which is to be expected from allos, but it also feels sometimes like aspec people are also putting it in that same ballpark, and it's like... No? There's a specific word for it for a reason. It'd be called the other thing if it was the other thing. At least as far as I'm concerned. Because if being in a queer platonic relationship required being romantically or sexually attracted to your queer platonic partner, I'd have felt the same reality-collapsing stress and panic-induced stomachache I would feel when confessed to romantically. I didn't. I felt relief. And my partner when offering the idea made sure to stress the fact that the way they felt about me was not romantic or sexual in nature. If it was even a little bit, I wouldn't have touched the idea with a ten-foot pole.

I'm not saying one can't feel romantically or sexually for their partner in a queer platonic relationship, but it'd be an addition based on a person's needs and boundaries, it's not baked into the thing at all. I've seen some people call being in a QPR "dating". Heck, my partner does. But I don't. I'll leave dating to people who date romantically or sexually. I can call an outing we have a "date", but I see it as more in the sense of how you would say a "playdate" for kids or pets or whatnot. If that makes sense. And I'd never call myself my partner's "girlfriend". Again, I'll leave that to people who do the romance thing.

Being married to them now, I also get afraid that that might be internalized allonormativity, or at the very least that it projects an image of allonormativity as an end-all-be-all for people who see us and jump to conclusions. But even with all these doubts that I feel are more societal pressures' fault than my own, deep down I know the nature of what we have, and people will project anyway, doesn't change that what we have is what we have, misunderstood as it is, and WE understand it and it makes me happy.

I dunno. Hopefully that helps. Also I'm very late, but hope you've had a good pride month!
