I reblogged this yesterday, but I want to reblog it again. Diabetic ketoacidosis turns your blood acidic and will essentially burn you from the inside out.

The stories you hear of people dying from rationing, this is what happens to their body.

Affordable insulin isn’t just a right, it’s a necessity.

No one should have to die like that when it’s preventable with access to proper medication.

"Affordable" should be the lowest fucking bar. Pharmaceutical companies should be tripping over themselves to offer insulin at "affordable". That shit deserves to be fucking free

when i was 12 i babysat this girl for a few years and she would come to me and show me her art, drag me by my wrists and point at the pieces she’d made during the week. and she’d be like “do the voice” and i’d put on a sports-announcer olympics-style voice and be like “such form! this level of coloring! why i haven’t seen such perfection in crayola in a long time. and what is this? why jeff, now this is a true risk… it seems she’s made … a monochrome pink canvas…. i haven’t seen this attempted since winter 1932… and i gotta say, jeff, it’s absolutely splendid” and she’d fall back giggling. at the end of every night she’d check with me: “did you really like it?” and i’d say yes and talk about something i noticed and tucked her in.

she was just accepted into 3 major art schools. she wrote me a letter. inside was a picture from when she was younger. monochrome pink.

“thank you,” it said, “to somebody who saw the best in me.”

I am sure I’ve reblogged this before. It’s so cute, I have to reblog it again.

It is actually way better for 100 addicts to get their fix on pain pills than a single person in pain go without. I call this the "Torture is bad" principle. You should be able to get the good stuff forever after a single doctor's visit. If you're worried about addicts fund rehab centers and needle exchanges instead of torturing people.

Among other things if you can't use the legit market you turn to the black market anyway.

if you're worried about addiction, build a society where people get their basic needs met, including pain management.

#i also would prefer addicts be on prescription drugs that are exactly what they say they are#rathet than unregulated drugs which are full of who the fuck knows (tags via @shanastoryteller)

Not to mention that it's not a binary of deserving pain patient OR undeserving addict.

Many of the people who have significant enough pain to require long term medicated pain management have addiction complications.

And no one is waking up one day, happy and healthy and deciding to start doing opioids for the hell of it. Basically everyone experiencing addiction is also experiencing some sort of pain they're trying to ease.

Addiction is a common comorbidity of pain.

To refuse people pain management treats neither the pain, nor the addiction. It makes both worse.

Wearing a t shirt that says "NOT IN A SEX WAY" so that everytime i talk about one of my bizarre interests or fixations I can point to my shirt and clear everything up. Like Yeah I'm super into puppets *pointing at the shirt* Not in a sex way or like Ohhh yeah I love dolls *pointing at ths shirt* You get it by now. They call me the awesome asexual

ribbon-robin

Getting a shirt that says "IN A SEX WAY" to clear up any misunderstandings that I'm not being a perv about something. I think knives are neat *staring cause I'm horny and forgot about the shirt* you wanna look at knives with me...

We are direct ideological opponents. I am morally obligated to murder you to death. [almost forgets] AND NOT IN A SEX WAY.

My great grandpa Percy was born in a house without electricity the year after the Model T Ford hit the market. He was a rum-runner during prohibition. His daughter got married on the day man landed on the moon. He lived through (but did not fight in) both World Wars and died right after the Cold War ended. That is an insane lifetime to live. I keep complaining about how much has happened in my first 25 years of life but that guy survived a pandemic as a child (his future wife’s mother died during it) and was running illegal alcohol at my age.

byjove

I do. I condone rum-running 100% and of all the crimes committed by people I’m descended from, that’s gotta be the coolest. 🫡

should I pointedly address my Christmas card to my step-grandmother and not mention her husband (my stepdad’s stepdad) that everyone hates? he particularly hates not being the center of attention so I think it’s deserved

byjove

No longer addressing cards to Mr. & Mrs. Surname. If I like you, you’re named, if I don’t, the card isn’t for you. Fuck it. Holly jolly Spitemas.

I have made handmade Christmas cards for the last 10 years and I have a specific habit of making ‘HAPPY HOLIDAYS’ cards for family members who are ultra-Christian and then I make sure to mention it’s a duel Christmas and New Years card so they can’t get mad at me. Absolutely no one cares but me and I love my spiteful Christmas cards.
