sick at heart actually to think of the generation now and the generations still to come in iran and the nations that surround it who will suffer preventable diseases, cancers, organ failure, congenital disorders, chemical poisoning, respiratory illness, infertility, miscarriages; who will develop chronic conditions and disabilities that could've been avoided, whose lives and the lives of whose loved ones will be cut short and curtailed by the environmental and infrastructural devastation inflicted by what happens today. in scope war and imperialism are on top of everything else environmental issues, concerns of disability justice... if you advocate for these causes you must be here too. safe soil water air and a chance to not be ill are human rights and the right of everything else that lives on earth

it's going to be three years next sunday from the infection that began my chronic illness. 1095 days of waking up and grieving the person i was before, grieving the life i had and the future that was taken. three years of doctors and waiting rooms and hospital visits and surgeries and trying to remain a singer in a world that has no room for illness or time lost. after my surgery in april i was finally letting myself begin to hope and work toward a future again. planning a concert, reconnecting with other musicians. but now i'm dealing with another mysterious flare up from something i caught two weeks ago and it's hard not to feel like it's all pointless when my illness can just stop me in my tracks again and i can't do anything to keep myself safe. i know that this particular moment will pass like others have over the past three years but right now it's so heavy

if you want to reblog this post, please make sure it is with the addition clarifying more accurate information about OCD

idk if this is just me but rabies is exactly like if something was made up specifically to fuck with people with OCD. you're telling me there's a disease endemic to large portions of the world that can live in my body with no symptoms for years? once symptoms start it is 100% You Die Disease? and one of its major vectors where i live is an extremely common animal with teeth so small it's possible not to even notice it bit you? surely i can get vaccinated though--ah, no, you need a "reason" or they don't give you the shot. the standard of prevention is Vigilance, Checking, and Avoiding Certain Behaviors, things that my brain is very good at doing in a healthy way, for sure. eat my ass.

Your f/o is always willing to help you out if you're ill. Fever? They'll help you cool off. Need water? Already got some. Feeling genuinely awful? Don't even worry about it. They'll help you through it

Plural culture is front being "poisoned" whenever we get sick. Basically after someone fronts they get really ill in headspace, and are in the medical area until the body (and them) recover. So we have to be really careful about switch frequency and who we let front (there is some control over these for us) to balance between avoiding fronting fatigue from fronting too long and too many people getting sick. We also have to prevent people who do super essential headspace jobs from fronting.

[immaplatypus]

Now I've only got one organ left, and this old bag of bones It is failing me I try to tell people that I'm dying, Only they don't believe me They say we're all dying, That we're all dying But if you are dying, Why aren't you scared? Why aren't you scared Like I'm scared?
