sending love out tonight to everyone who is progressively losing their abilities, whether that’s movement, ability to walk, eyesight, or hearing.
it’s hard to come to terms with the fact that you can’t do things that you used to be able to do. I’ll be honest, it feels like you’re losing control of your life. it can feel very isolating and hopeless. its scary and overwhelming, and it’s so hard to deal with.
you are not less than just because you can do less. im proud of you for still being here, and i wish you ease with adjusting to new ways of life. please take care of yourself, i love you.
It is a true process of grief. Remember to be kind to yourselves.
hey netizens! i’m not sure how many people are aware, but youtube’s been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can’t be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate
BUT, if you’re a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard to get rid of it!
Monster fucker this, monster fucker that. What if I want a monster RELATIONSHIP huh?! Monster HAND HOLDING, monster INTIMATE CONVERSATIONS, monster COMFORTABLE SILENCE??
“bUt i tHiNk mAKeUp is fUn” that’s nice. i would like to be allowed to exist without it without being socioeconomically punished for that choice but what’s important to focus on here is that you’re just having the funnest time ever
This doesn’t happen unless you’re so ugly that you need makeup to look normal (in which case this post is a bit of a self-own)
cool misogyny! i forgot that being beautiful is the only moral way for a woman to exist. what an Epic Own on behalf of a multibillion dollar industry!!!!
My dear friend said ‘would you like to see a video of a butch and masc woman’ and I said sure and he sent me a video with femme alt girls I am going to kill him actually
alright so during into the spider-verse’s introduction to peter b. parker, we see his wedding, and he stomps on the wine glass right? this is a jewish wedding tradition, which makes this version of peter parker jewish (further confirmed in interviews – however, i believe this is enough by itself). it’s a nice nod to the jewish roots of the character.
we get to see a bunch of peter parkers throughout the spider-verse films, and none of them have any explicit religious associations like peter b. parker. except for one!
here we have gwen stacy’s peter parker and aunt may, from earth-65, saying grace over a meal. from my understanding, this is generally a christian practice – in judaism, we prefer to say short prayers before eating, and save the long, in-depth ones for afterwards. so to me, this was a clear example of the character being coded as christian. i was a little disappointed that they didn’t make peter parker jewish here too, but since across the spider-verse discusses variants and the differences between instances of the same person between different universes, i interpreted this as a continued commentary on peter parker’s ethnicity – although he was initially jewish-coded and one of his two creators, stan lee, is jewish, this is often erased, especially in more modern interpretations of the character.
and then i remembered that this peter parker also literally turns into the lizard.
There are hundreds of life long conditions and diseases out there that are typically diagnosed between 12 and 30.
There is a vast difference between being tired and having chronic fatigue.
Just because you can’t tell that someone is unwell from looking at them, doesn’t mean that you should assume that they are ok.
Many chronic illnesses are life long, and incurable. Many of them are potentially fatal.
If you have a disease like Lupus, on good days you still feel like you have a bad flu, 24/7.
Many of the medications used to treat chronic conditions have side effects that can really affect someone’s self esteem - like extreme weight gain, skin changes and hair loss.
Most chronic illnesses have very little awareness - its unlikely that you’ve heard of Sjogren’s Syndrome, Scleroderma, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or Fibromyalgia.
However these diseases can cause symptoms as varied as joint pain, fatigue, constant nausea, kidney failure, pneumonia, photo sensitivity, full body rashes, paralysis, strokes etc.
So please remember that invisible illnesses exist too :)
