thing I am proud of: when the doctor started going on a weird rant about long covid not being real I paused and listened to his nonsense for a bit and then very calmly said, in a polite and curious tone, "you don't believe in post-viral illness?" and he like. stammered a bunch and was like OH WELL I'M NOT SAYING -- I DON'T...I just think ..! and backpedaled awkwardly while I just sat there like :3c interesting :3c thank you so much for clarifying your stance on this :3c

an important skill for chronically ill people to develop is the ability to treat the doctor as though they are simply a person you are interviewing to find out how much they know about your condition.

Holy shit op this is LITERALLY in the book 'Never Split The Difference: Negotiating as if Your Life Depends On It'. Written by a guy who did hostage negotiation and then tried doing business negotiation, and mopped the floor with industry experts.

I'm fortunate enough to have a primary care doctor who knows about hEDS, but it's occurring to me that the skills in this book could be medically life changing for chronically ill folks of all kinds. Like. Literally a matter of life and death, especially for BIPOC and/or fat and/or young people who are having their issues dismissed.

HMMM interesting!! will have to check this out

This is why "eat the rich" is not a violent statement. Rich people literally kill others for their own profits. Any violence against rich people who do this is self defense.

This is also one of the many reasons why there are zero good cops. The nicest cop in existence would arrest someone for stealing to survive but would not arrest these greedy employers for killing for profit.

i have a suggestion

[captain-price-returns]

Arrest everyone involved.

[captain-price-returns]

Money saved: maybe a couple million dollars.

People killed: around three quarters of a million.

Magical Pride flags time!!

I wanted to draw the autism pride flag too, since... I mean, my me

Are there other recognised disability flags? I'd love to draw more. :]

abelds have this funky ability where they hear disabled people say they "can't" do something and instead of hearing "can't" as in, cannot, they hear "i can if i push myself and i just don't wanna". which is really interesting!

the thing about "ways to stay cool during a heat wave! :)" is that i dont want to spend three+ months of the year in a dark room surrounded by ice water. I want to enjoy the sunlight. i want to see the birds. I want to be surrounded by green. I want them to stop accelerating climate change. Maybe even reverse it.

awesome how you can just have ocs and they live in your brain forever and torment you

Often disabled people wildly overestimate their ability purely via ableist conditioning where they feel pressured to, or mistakenly think they Should be able to do all the same things as their ablebodied peers.

In this case, accurately assessing their comfort levels might feel like underestimating themselves. But it's necessary to not overexert and avoid further burnout.

So remember if you're disabled, underestimate your abilities more often. Either you were mistaken and end up feeling good afterwards despite the activity, or you were correct and spared yourself extra grief by stopping just when you needed to

“promoting & normalizing mental illness“ is pretty insidious though. i’m literally just existing, mate.

[t4timekeeper]

i’m a person with a disassociative disorder (medically recognized by a professional and in the process of receiving an official diagnosis, at that) who is somewhat open about the fact online. said disorder doesn’t stop existing the minute i step outside or talk to other people or use the internet. are you saying you want people with “cringeworthy” mental illnesses like mine to just, like, never exist where you can see them?
