my life ~ left behind @mylifeleftbehind - Tumblr Blog

Feel like I've got a pinched nerve in my neck, shoulder is constantly subluxing, my floating rib is out of place and menstral cramps

This is great

@mylifeleftbehind At any one time I’m usually at least fighting hips, entire back (esp ribs) and neck.

I have one of these and it’s bigger than me.

I call her Big Bertha.

what doctors think i do: delude myself into thinking my symptoms are worse than they are

what i actually do:

delude myself into thinking my symptoms are not as bad as they are

Everyone outside of USA:

US First responder here, Just some info for folks, you only get billed if a private ambulance company or a fire department transports. The medical service provided by your local fire department or FD/municipal paramedic is free. Call us when something goes wrong, We will show up and evaluate you/provide care (stop the bleeding, splint the injury, administer epinephrine) free of charge, And then you can have a friend or uber transport you to the hospital (or sign AMA and just stay home if you don’t want to go to the hospital either.)

Also, in a large number of counties, there are public paramedics paid for by the taxpayers, so ALS transport is free. I’d advise researching your local system.

Please don’t avoid calling 911 for a medical emergency because you’re afraid of bills, you have the right to refuse transport which is where the bills occur.

I have to repeat, you will NOT be billed for medical services provided on scene by the fire department/paramedics, And you have the RIGHT to refuse transport even if not going to the hospital will kill you.

Also in Australia if you don’t pay for Ambulance membership they charge you and it isn’t covered by all private health insurance.

It's free if you have a health care card, pensioner card, full time student and other exceptions

Neurologist: I think your symptoms are all in your head

Me, internally: Well at least you know where the brain is

Neurologist, a few months later: So it turns out your brain isn’t even all in your head

Neurologist: Still just gonna ignore that and claim there’s nothing wrong though lol

The fuck outta here Winnie the piss

You wanna know why they censored Winnie the Pooh

Too many people made fun of the Prime Mininster of China for looking like Winnie the Pooh

So he just straight up banned Winnie the Pooh from the country

Guardian News: “‘You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,’ climate activist Greta Thunberg has told world leaders at the 2019 UN climate action summit in New York.”

This makes me think of all the tv shows/movies i watched growing up where the kids had to save the world while the adults just sat around not doing anything

Witches.

When speaking of most authors,

"these female characters reflect everything he, the author, finds wonderful and terrifying about women"

would be An Huge Red Flag.

And then there's Terry Pratchett--humanist, writer, good person (when he couldn't avoid it), perpetrator of literature (when he really couldn't avoid it) and student of human nature--with his witches.

Who are not othered, eroticised or made monsters. They are intensely human and intensely woman. They are simultaneously a commentary on all civilisations being built on the (largely unpaid) backs of women, and damn funny, sharp, practical characters you wish you knew in real life.

We lost him too soon, and we shall not recover in the near future.

“No choice, no hope” is THE funniest way to describe not being able to pick Aquafina over Dasani

someone pointed out its explicitly a restaurant supply store, which is why it only stocks large amounts of the exact same products and mostly in large sizes - so he didn't even walk into a supermarket in the first place

oh my fuck

Also you will find that the 30 different brands of apple sauce are actually owned by the same 2 companies and the directors are on the board of each other's companies and everything is a lie

We need to better educate kids on the importance of animals that are typically hated because otherwise you end up with adults who think hating wasps is a personality.

Trufax: hatred of wasps is so widespread that it’s prevalent among biologists as well. An entire field full of people getting excited about species that nobody else has heard of, and many have collectively decided that wasps don’t need to be researched, even though they’re threatened by the same things that are threatening bees, and disappearance of wasps will spell bad things for the number of pests found in gardens and farms.

I have a friend wasp named Queeny. She built her nest on a really inconvenient area where I often dump my birds’ uneaten seed or shake towels out. She would come out angrily and buzz at us, ready to defend her home from the strange giants.

Queeny didn’t know that it was our porch she built her home on, she saw a nice ledge and decided that it was a suitable spot to begin her life as a lone female.

So instead of removing the nest and poisoning her with bug spray, you know what I did? I moved the area where I dump my things and started feeding her. I would tap three times on the railing before leaving a treat like fruit, honey, dog food, or pesky beetles I find in my garden, then move away to give them lots of space. At first she would buzz out, wings spread and ready to fight, but after doing this for just a few days…she stopped!

Now when she comes out, it’s slowly and non-threatingly. She tilts her head at me before gingerly inspecting the offerings. She doesn’t threaten my mom any more either, she’s learned that we mean no harm. We’ve started using that ledge to shake sheets out and dump bird seed and she doesn’t mind at all! She just watches quietly.

She even has a family now! Five daughters and one lad- a husband or son, not sure which lmao -who greet us the same, she must’ve taught them that we’re not enemies (or they just grew up used to us). They even protect my garden, since Queeny’s family has grown the invasive Japanese beetle population has plummeted! They really are delightful neighbors.
