I know so many people with EDS and I know yoga would just destroy y'all!

For real! Even with guidance, working out has a high chance of making things worse.

I took up crochet because I can't do regular mediation for the same reasons. Crochet is what helps me get in that mental space without feeling worse.

For real!

I used to dance onstage for hours every night. I had so much muscle. Never smoked. Rarely drank. I was far from an Olympic athlete, but I was healthier than most. Disability and chronic illnesses still came for me. They can come for anyone. They can happen to you.

The number one thing that has softened the devastation of my disabilities is that I had already started the work on dismantling my own internal ableism before I became disabled. This hell would be even worse if I was blaming myself for it the whole time.

People want to believe that diet and exercise will protect them from all illness and injury because they don't want to think about how they could very suddenly become disabled and there's nothing they could do to prevent it. It's out of their control and they hate thinking about that.

Exercise *can* help with *some* aspects of *some* chronic illnesses and disabilities. The problem is that people see it work for one symptom of one person and declare it works for everyone and everything.

In so many cases, the solution to a frustrating interaction online is to take a deep breath and remind yourself that the person being deranged to you is not someone whose opinion you would care about if they screamed it in your face on the street, and you're deforming your nature by listening at all

ok and another. cis people demanding a certain arbitrary expression from you in order to "earn" being gendered correctly. is like. Me meeting You halfway is me modifying my entire appearance and demeanor, immediately. but You meeting Me halfway is just You thinking a little bit

finding yourself wanting to use "psychotic" to describe horrible people, governments, or events? can I present to you: the thesaurus

Every pansexual loves a cheese board and that's why I work as a cheesemonger.

Not to mention that even if they're undocumented, people do not deserve to be treated this way.

Even back before he blew up his career, he always gave off a creepy vibe to me, like he had a simmering rage behind his eyes at all times. The same kind of eyes I always see in the right wing manosphere. Always gave me the ick.

I just felt like drawing this, and thought you might also enjoy seeing a couple hot punks in lust.

In all seriousness, the "LLMs are people and you're racist if you don't like them" shit is the natural endpoint of a consumerist society in which consuming and fandom are the only modes of identity-building many people understand. Finally, a product no one can tell you not to love.

God, what a dweeb. These people are embarrassing and (dare I say) cringe. "You should do nothing but make money and that should be a satisfying human experience." Get real. I wanna shove these pricks into lockers.
