Do y'all bend in a weird way to crack your bones and it gets a bit painful and you think for a second 'damn I could break something' followed immediately by 'oooor this could be the exact thing I need to crack this' or do I just have a death wish ?

[painkillersandicecream]

Wtf I don't have a 'weak' immune system, my immune system is fierce as fuck. It just has no aim.

[fluttersuns-deactivated20240717]

anyone else with chronic illness (chronic fatigue in particular) feel like they've kind of lost some of their intelligence or cognitive function? I get so upset that I struggle to understand consepts that I used to. It's so difficult to understand things I read. I can't get my point across like I used to. I feel so fucking useless and frustrated. I used to write, read and constantly learn and now I can barely function.

please tell me I'm not alone. please tell me I'm not just lazy or losing intelligence???

Abled person: "No one has the right to ask your private medical information! No one has the right to know if I'm vaccinated!"

Abled people 5 minutes later: "so what's wrong with you? Why are you using that thing? *motions to mobility aid*"

Me:

[badjokesonme]

an open letter to my body:

Bro, wtf.

[snapcracklepop-myjoints]

“No one tells a cane user that….” “no one says to a blind person…” “telling a neurodivergent person that is like telling a physically disabled person that…” shut up shut up shut up shut up

You can express frustration with ableism without pretending that people take physically disabled people seriously, thanks.

[thespeedycricket]

The whole "confined to the use of *insert mobility aid here*" is so WEIRD to me and so obviously coined by an able bodied person, because all I see when I look at my walker is FREEDOM!!!

I love my walker!!! It allows me to experience the world!!! It literally means the world to me!

I'd say "I don't know where I'd be without it!" but the answer is obviously "At Home"

[popcorn-joints]

I love terrifying abled strangers by just being the epitome of disabled joy

yes I will give myself a little jogging start then use my rollator to fly down the sidewalk and I'll laugh the whole time, die mad

[yekkes]

Literally

[sungodanthos]

Well obviously y’all don’t know the trash we have to deal with.

[yekkes]

Referring to sick people under your medical care as "trash" is really not a good look and uh. Literally proving the point of this video

[pavelow]

Not everyone in the hospital is legitimately sick though. Lots of drug seekers and patients are routinely abusive towards hospital staff, particularly towards the people that are working under nursing supervisors that are actually doing most of the legwork. “Trash” probably isn’t the right word but hospital workers do have to deal with genuinely bad people more often than you’d think

[red-shepherds]

Hey, surprise, it's not cool to disclose the personal details of addicts either, or call them trash. People don't seek drugs for no reason, and disparaging them for it instead of treating the underlying root cause isn't helpful for anything except the healthcare worker who wants to form a superiority complex. There's no excuse for dumping a patient's personal details on the internet, no matter who they are or what they're like.

[pavelow]

No one is dumping personal/identifying details online, that’s not even what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the people that come in looking for pills and throw a fit when they aren’t prescribed what they’re trying to abuse. Most of the time they have already refused inpatient/outpatient rehab because they want to get high not get clean. Taking away scarce hospital resources from patients who genuinely need treatment in order to feed a drug habit is much worse than calling someone a mean word online

[cuntess-carmilla]

Besides your AWFUL views regarding genuine addicts, do you realize how many chronically ill people are falsely accused by healthcare professionals of faking our illnesses just so we can get an excuse to "abuse drugs" that we need to not want to die from our chronic pain?

How many of us are denied pain management because you all assume that since our illnesses can't all be easily seen under a microscope we're either lying or mentally ill? As was the case for Multiple Sclerosis (initially called Hysterical Paralysis) until not that long ago, which subjected patients to forced hospitalization with no treatment for their symptoms besides whatever the fuck they were torturing patients with in mid 20th century mental hospitals?

Do you have ANY idea of how many chronically ill people kill themselves because we can't take it anymore and how much denying us treatment for chronic pain contributes to that?

God, you're a piece of shit.

There is a new Chrome extension that detects if a video you’re streaming has a strobe in it, will freeze the video and stick this warning up there until you approve it.

WHERE THE HELL HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE????

[robinlikestea]

Some abled people really will tell you to "overcome your obstacles" when their own obstacles are things like having allergies or not having enough time to grab coffee before work and your obstacles are things like, you know... Existing. Gravity. Health insurance.

Thanks for that stellar advice, Lisa, but my obstacles can't be overcome by simply feeling motivated.
