This sketch always makes me laugh because of the line "happy Hanukkah to everyone in Scarsdale." Yup, I hate my hometown and was relentlessly bullied. But it's always a personal thing to me. And if you're from New York City or the tristate area, you know. lol (Scarsdale still sucks)

I know this is two weeks old, but...
As the editor of this Mission Yozakura Family, I am apologizing to everyone in publishing.

(Also, the kerning on this font...I swear... I try but I am actually sorry)

I am more committed than ever to fighting medical gaslighting to those who suffer from chronic illness, especially those in marginalized groups. What happened to me and what’s happened to friends should never happen to anyone.
September 30, 2023 at 11:13 PM
Honestly, yesterday really tired me out in a journey of medical gaslighting that no one should experience. Worse than my SPS one. I was almost committed for an eating disorder I didn’t have and my GI saying I need intense psychiatric intervention when in reality it was stage 2 gastroparesis.

I was about to panic email my letterer all the text was missing when I realized I hit the visibility button instead of the unlock layer button :)
September 30, 2023 at 11:09 PM
Also had to make multiple corrections to a letterer who knows who they are "Please use a typed font/X (formerly known as twitter) look to this"
And I hated writing that sentence

Translator (TL): Yep! Grabbed it and am already half-done. ^^

Me: Halfway there? Living on a prayer??? Please don’t quit…

TL: Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. ^^ We'll make it, I swear.

I love the people I work with

I am sad to say my surgery was not a success. I have opened up on TikTok and Twitter about it. I could still use the mutual aid for my home nurse, medical bills, new glasses since the surgery wasn't a success...and upcoming surgeries. I am sorry to keep pestering about this.

Well, I almost just got screwed out of returning to work. They found some random MD to write a sentence that’s probably going to cost my insurance $400 or some shit.
September 21, 2023 at 12:12 AM
Anyways…done spamming for now while I try to ignore the fact that I will continue to lose my eyesight. I now have more information on what the thing in my brain is though.

Yes it’s weird being both super bendy and having your shit get all dislocated thanks to a chronic illness like EDS while also your muscles turn to concrete and you have spasms so bad it’s like out of the exorcists sometimes (SPS). Like tetanus is a good example of a full body spasm.
September 19, 2023 at 11:40 PM
At least I didn’t have to demonstrate SPS… He woulda had to call 911 lol…I laugh but it’s true. My mom got scared when I was laughing so hard about something yesterday that I had a diaphragm spasm and couldn’t breathe. Forgot about what though...
September 19, 2023 at 11:37 PM
Sorry I’m a petty piece of shit and I was petty to gross someone out by touching my thumb to my forearm
September 19, 2023 at 11:36 PM
Plus the photo that was in question for being facetuned was when I was like…27? So like… It’s not like I was THAT old to begin with in the photo :/
September 19, 2023 at 11:32 PM
It's gratifying when someone thinks you’re 16 when you’re 30 when reddit trolls accuse you of being super face tuned, etc. Yeah, EDS causes dislocations, motility failure, MCAS, POTS, other bad things…but not my fault your butt’s gotta be all wrinkly and mine doesn’t :)
September 19, 2023 at 11:32 PM
Also, take that reddit trolls who talk about me being super facetuned. I’m getting carded at 30 because (and I asked him to be honest how old he thought I was) someone thought I was 16.
September 19, 2023 at 11:28 PM
But my chronic illness ass is kinda….petty… I explained to him that while I have another disease that is terminal (Stiff-Person Syndrome), I have another disease called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and to gross him out I showed him bending my thumb to my wrist...
September 19, 2023 at 11:26 PM
In other news, I tried to cash in $43 in lottery winning tickets and for the first time ever it was some other dude. He wanted to card me and I’m like…”I’m 30.” I pull down my mask and other customers are coming to my defense, etc. But it gets more entertaining...

I have another update to post later on TikTok about my neurology appointment today and what to do about my eyes.
September 19, 2023 at 11:20 PM
I’ll update on my gofundme but I have a post on twitter with the TikTok video about my brain surgery…
The last few days. Procedure. My eyesight. Hospitalization. Failing motility.
