pro tip- use your own pen at Alamo drafthouse and not the ones at your seat 🤢

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · 21d

That's so sweet, thank you. Glad you received help when you needed it as well. Just that communal care and support is so helpful

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · 22d

Aw thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words and no worries if you can't donate. I understand times are tough for everyone. 🖤

Thank you so much for sharing!! 🖤

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · 28d

Yesss, so good! I'm really enjoying the dialogue and deeper themes of the show. It's all very well done. Not to mention each episode closes with a banger from the '90s or early 2000's. 10/10 soundtrack choices

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · 28d

Love this show! Agree on all fronts. That sheep is so menacing and the tension was great with the most recent episode

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · 29d

Jeez that sounds painful and glad you're better now! I can imagine it prob took a while to diagnose too.

Sorry to hear about your friend and hope they get some good treatment options to manage it. Eye conditions are so stressful and painful. Also love how insurance companies aren't the best at coverage 🤑

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · 29d

Omgsh that's awful. Mind if I ask how it happened? Was it just a development or did you injure your eye somehow?

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · 29d

Wow that's amazing and really interesting. I haven't heard of that before.

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · 29d

Appreciate that. Nice to know you and others care 🥹. Hope all is well with you these days, esp with this dumpster fire of a world we're all experiencing 🖤

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · 29d

Thank you, Rockie 🖤

Right now, the goal is keep my corneas from being further damaged & hopefully the scleral lenses can help heal some of the hundreds of micro-abrasions. Doctor said my corneas look like sandpaper. I can't wear eye makeup until those scratches are better bc they described it like 100s of open wounds.

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · 29d

Ty for sharing your experience. I'm sorry, that sounds so painful. You were able to leave the same pair in for 6 weeks continuously? Day and night? The scleral lenses are larger and hard so they can just protect more surface area than the soft lenses.

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · Sep 9

Thank you and it's so true. It took around 10 months or so to get a definitive diagnosis. The human body can be both wonderful and a prison.

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · Sep 9

Thank you, Susie! Glad you found something that helped you.

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · Sep 9

Thank you for sharing! 🥹

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · Sep 8

It was hard to do so! Lost several nights of sleep over it but friends that knew what was going on encouraged me and helped calm my fears about it. 🥹

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · Sep 8

Thank you 🖤 I hope by also talking about it that it'll help spread awareness. I had never heard of it before I was diagnosed.

Marisa Mirabal @marisamira.bsky.social · Sep 8

It does! I've been embarrassed & suffered in silence. I've isolated for the past 2 years bc of this so just seeing that people care about me & want to help however they can is doing wonders for my mental health. I really needed that & it's nice to cry tears of hope for once instead of fear & pain

I'm sorry to hear you struggle with eye issues as well. It's beyond painful at times and insurance doesn't like to cover eye conditions. Sending hugs and hope your eyes are better these days! ❤️‍🩹
