IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR MY SCENE/WEBCORE MUTUALS:

Do NOT tag flashing gifs as #epilepsy, #epilepsy warning or #epilepsy tw. As for the first one, that is used as a community tag for epileptic people. Having it flooded with flashing gifs is extremely unsafe. And the other two: Tumblr’s tagging system is fucked. Completely fucked. So fucked, in fact, that Tumblr puts posts tagged as #epilepsy warning or #epilepsy tw into the epilepsy tag. Please tag flashing gifs and videos as #flashing, #flashing tw and #flash warning. If you have posts containing flashing lights and they are not tagged appropriately, please fix them. I am not epileptic myself, but a close friend of mine is and this is a huge problem. Please don’t ignore this!!

Please please please PLEASE SHUT UP about people not being disabled enough or too disabled to deal with. Stop whining about how our disabilities impact YOU. I really don't care if my panic attacks and meltdowns inconvenience you, because you're not the one having them. For once in you fucking lives consider disabled people and our feelings. Just because you can do xyz today doesn't mean i can. Some days i can work, on those days it's always "see? you're normal" like being disabled is a bad thing. I am beautiful not regardless of my disabilities, but because of them. I am capable.

I cannot process the fact that epilepsy is still not being taken 100% seriously by people. Epilepsy and seizures CAN and DOES kill people. Earlier today I fell down the stairs while having an absence seizure. There are many ways that epilepsy and seizures can kill and people still believe that it is not as serious as cancer and other illnesses. People die in their sleep from seizures. People can suffer brain damage and even death due to status epilepticus. Some people can even die from simply having a seizure at the wrong place/time. This could mean having a seizure while driving or seizing while walking across the street or down a flight of stairs. You could potentially kill an epileptic by using flashing lights. Stop posting flashing videos in the epilepsy tags. Epilepsy is a SERIOUS and DEADLY disorder that needs to stop being taken lightly.

for the past few months i have been having a grand mal seizure every month which is freaking me out because i usually only have them about once a year. my doctor increased my dose of keppra to 1000mg and i have been sleeping well every night but it keeps happening. i am going to ask for a new medication but i was wondering if other people with epilepsy have been having an increased amount of seizures since the pandemic started? i think it could be stress related so i am really interested to know.

If you don't tag fast moving or brightly flashing gifs and videos with #flashing #photosensitivity and #epilepsywarning unfollow me right now. It's the baseline of human decency.
