Lots of drama in our household

Oh btw you might see me reblog more stuff, and possibly post a bit more often too, ́cause I've finally reached a point where this is the only app I'm even remotely interested in interacting with anymore 🥲

lmfao the Scots in town for the World Cup have made a pilgrimage to Boston's world-famous Cop Annihilating Slide

[getrealprim]

Me: “Why does the cop get flung out but everyone else I see just go down it normally? What did the cop do?”

Me: “Ohhhh ☝️ it’s because the slide is alive and hates cops. This is good.”

We have always existed, and we always will.

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

Hello it’s me Lexa and this post is relevant again as I just had the Legit Same Talk with someone and I exhausted my number of fucks to give

[enbycrip]

It never ceases to amaze me how much Healthy People Don’t Get It.

My OH gets upset sometimes because I try to not talk about being sick to their parents and I rarely take up their parents’ offers of help, but it just involves so much ongoing Not Getting It that it uses far more spoons than it could ever save.

We travelled a long way to their cousin’s wedding a few months ago and the hotel turned out to be monumentally inaccessible, and it was made *so* much worse by them not getting that after a nine-hour drive and then the lift being broken and the receptionist being *horrible* and forcing me to crawl up the stairs on my hands and knees, that no, I was physically incapable of going out for dinner and was in fact barely restraining myself from weeping in pain and fatigue. And we’ve been married for more than 15 years; they’ve seen me the entire time I’ve been sick.

And I’ve had total crashes in front of them before, and it was awful, and they were incredibly worried and upset about it, and I had to use spoons I really didn’t have to explain it all, and in the end they seemed to get it.

But it doesn’t *stick*. It all resets.

So that after a couple of months it’s as though it never happened.

It’s like living in Groundhog Day.

Healthy people are just, apparently, incapable of processing the idea that *this is our lives*, and no, we can’t turn it off for fun or to make their lives easier, and resting in advance or getting a good night’s sleep doesn’t solve it. It’s what we live with constantly, and it really does suck on its own, but the constant lack of getting it and blaming from healthy people really does make it so, so much worse.

Much love and solidarity to you, OP

BTW I decided I'd do Art fight in the middle of a move 🫠 add me there if you're so inclined !

[the-skyrim-courier]

I’ve been looking for you. Got something I’m supposed to deliver— your hands only.

Looks like that’s it! Got to go.

To celebrate Tumblr being usable again (for now at least), have a very cropped, very rough WIP of an old Dagoth painting from a few years ago that I picked back up!

[orbitpuddingsagan]

[minasnorma]

Oof, I haven't posted in forever ('cause to be honest, I haven't done a lot of new art lately- been working on and off on the same giant ass oil painting for two years now, and am otherwise really busy with life, unfortunately) but that new update ? Doesn't really make me want to come back :T

And it sucks so much because Tumblr felt to me like the last remnant of the Old Internet, the one that was fun, inventive, and user-centered- but I'm not gonna lie, if that update stays, it might be it for me. Posting art online is already a vulnerable thing, I know it tends to mess me up, so if I can't even see what people think about it and read their comments... Then what's the point ?

Hello hello!! I am SO sorry and so embarrassed, but you drew my OC Moonshine for art fight back in July, and I literally just saw it!! I got really sick near the end of July and didn't open art fight because I was really sad that I was too sick to draw- your art made my day, I'm screaming!! Thank you so so much!! <3

Hi there!! No worries at all! I hope you're better now :)

Also thank you so much!! I'm so happy you like it, Moonshine was such a joy to draw, that's just peak character design!!! ❤️
