dear fellow spoonies:

you can have one chronic illness. you can have ten or twenty. no matter what, your pain and illness is valid. just because others have more/worse chronic illnesses than you does NOT mean they have it “worse,” and that you shouldn’t complain because you have it “better.” just because someone expresses their pain more than you does NOT mean your pain is invalid. regardless of whether you go to work every day or stay home and rest, your experiences are legitimate. you are valid, and you deserve love and care.

Making friends with people from other countries is so crazy. I sent my group chat a Big Bird gif.

And this one girl says, “why isn’t he blue?”

I’m like, the fuck you mean??

So today I learned that in the Dutch version of Sesame Street, they do, in fact, have a blue Big Bird.

I was baffled by this so I went on Muppets Wiki and guess what.

In Mexico, Big Bird is green and his name is Abelardo.

Turkish Big Bird (aka Minik Kus) is apparently fucking orange.

This looks like a fuckin alternate universe or smth. I can’t.

Actually, in the Mexican version (which is the one I saw here in Colombia, and was probably streamed in other countries in Latin America) we had both the yellow and the green bird. That is because Abelardo (the green bird) is the Mexican cousin of Big bird. Initially it was supposed to be the Mexican version of Big Bird, but then it was decided to leave both characters and make them cousins to help explain the kids about the migration wave between USA and Mexico in the 90s

There is even a chapter of the show were Abelardo travels to the US to visit his cousin Big Bird

Later, they decided that all the different birds, from all the versions around the world, would be "cousins" too, with the idea of showing the diversity of cultures and teach the kids about unity and acceptance against racism and discrimination

Sympathy is only for the able.

People only care that you are sick as long as you are going to get better. Once they find out it is a forever thing, their sympathy suddenly has an expiration date.

When people say to try to embrace your disease I’m just kinda like ya know what? You’re right. Mood swings, fluctuating hormones, and the undying need for a nap makes for a real crowd pleaser.
