Started captioning images only a few years ago so my older posts don't have IDs, and I only started tagging them as "image described" more recently. Thirty. White. Genderqueer they/them with an ever nebulous sexuality. Actual cyborg 🤖 and sick as all hell. 🎭 I named my cane Cassandra 🦇

Hey I just want to thank everyone who donated to the vet fund. To those who donated and didn't see the update in January, Nerys went into organ failure and we let her go gently at the age of eighteen years old. Today, Everest had a stroke the vets said he really wouldn't recover from and would probably die in the next few days no matter what we did, so we let him go as equally gently at twelve years old.

To everyone who donated to their vet funds or bought things for them on Amazon and Chewy and the like, thank you. You have no idea how much it meant to me.

This photo was taken just last night

Our Japanese class found it funny that in common terminology "food" isn't very distinguished from specifically "rice" until it was pointed out to us that in English "meal" is "loose roughly ground grain"

Do you guys think Julian’s parents had a bad relationship, which lead to his negative views on the concept of marriage? Or was he just a professional slut and hater

I think lemurs are just like that

not caring if people think you're stupid is a life hack. recognising that you are kind of stupid is an even bigger life hack. we build entire societies to take care of each other bc we're all kind of stupid. it's fine.

Please support my eating habit!

It’s just really hard to buy groceries with $47/mo EBT, and I can’t do it regularly. I have a regular food bank in my building, and I’m using it. Sometimes it’s great. Other times, well. So many beans.

And I’m not against beans. Or rice. Or potatoes. Or oatmeal. I am well and truly grateful for a supply of staples.

But I’d dearly like the things to supplement these with that make them More Enjoyable.

There are people in more desperate circumstances, and I’m not in danger of starving.

However, I’ve going to put this out here anyway, and will pin it. I am disabled and non-driving, so I need to get my groceries delivered. I’m putting the peer-to-peer cash links out here, but I’d welcome Safeway and Instacart gift cards, too.

I'm like a bad role model for disabled and sick people. I know, rationally, that my response to people asking invasive questions about my cane, my scars, my frequent and long potty breaks, my still wearing a mask, whatever the fuck the nosey assholes are interrogating me on, should be "Mind Your Own Damn Business"

But also I've been grieviously ill since I was three and on death's door on multiple occasions since, and I'm so used to doctors and probing questions from people of authority and being forced to give school presentations on every condition I developed (protip for teachers, making a nine year old explain to their peers that they have I Shit Too Much disease is not the destigmatizing learning experience you somehow think it is), and having every aspect of my life scrutinized by professionals and lay people alike,

and I am completely immune to feeling embarrassed about anything and will gladly and enthusiastically talk about the state of my bowels or how I had my head cracked open and became a cyborg, or how my periods are more painful than my kidney stones, or the how I got my heart zapped and short-circuited just a few months after my heart stopped when I was eight, or how this medicine has this side effect, or how my eczema flares so bad in winter that sometimes it oozes, or how my immunocompromised body is prone to various skin infections so my skincare routine is solely about powdering every fat roll with lotrimin, oh and speaking of have I told you how my brain surgery went smoothly except for the fact that I acquired a staph infection on my breasts in the recovery ward?

The lesson here being: don't ask people about their medical conditions. Either you're going to be told off for the asshole you are, or you're going to meet someone who has been sick twenty-seven years out of their just barely thirty year life span who no longer Gives A Literal Shit about anything medical and is just going thru life and constant doctor's appointments and will gladly answer all the questions you ask, loudly and in public

Got a Cane Buddy today and my hand slipped

[Image Description: a dark blue cane leaning against a table. A large black mesh bag with a large zippered bicker in the back and a smaller one in the front, and an opaque black pouch to the side. On the top of the mesh has been placed a strip of black ductape, upon which something has been written in white posca marker. End I.D.]

[Image Description: close-up on the cane bag, where we can see the writing says in allcaps "Ask my me about my health & I will answer honestly, graphically, and extremely loudly!" ("Extremely loudly" is underlined.) End I.D.]

people get so confused trying to figure out the Lois/Clark/Superman situation that somehow they come to the conclusion that Clark is cheating on Lois with Superman

Avatar

I mean Lois clearly has nothing to hide, everyone from here to Krypton’s seen Superman fly her with a chaste hand around her waist. but Clark puts an awful lot of effort into making sure no one ever gets a pic of him and Superman together

what is he worried Lois will see

Avatar

people shake their heads sadly every time Superman visits the Daily Planet and then Clark emerges from a closet disheveled and tucking his shirt back into his pants. but if Lois won’t see it there’s nothing they can do

Avatar

When Lois finds out she thinks it’s hilarious, and when someone finally tries to ‘break it to her’, she’s all ready. 

“Oh, I know.”

“You… know?”

“Neither of them would ever lie to me.” 

“So… *gears frantically spinning* this is like some kind of threesome thing?” 

“Oh! No, no, no, absolutely not. *Lois pauses and grins the most lascivious grin she can produce* I just… watch.” 

Clark gets a lot of very weird looks that day that he can’t understand at all. 

@elidyce​ no, no, no. don’t hide a shit-stirring bruce and chaotic lois in the tags. this is an important addition, too. just gives that final touch that’s dearly needed to really complete this, y’know?

[ID: #some time later Bruce gets a call from Lois #‘hey you fit the Superman costume right’ #yes but nothing would ever make me wear it #'I may have encouraged a rumor that Clark and Superman are having a fling and one blurry picture would REALLY sell it’ #’…there may be one thing’

Lol rip me. I've been forgetting to schedule that bone density scan so my clinic got fed up and said they'd schedule for me, but I only just remembered what that ER doctor said last time of my approaching the risk threshold, so I had to leave a message with clinic asking what I'm supposed to do.

So now my question is, is it just cancer I'm at risk for if I hit that limit or like is the accumulated radiation in me gonna give me ARS or something lol?

AND IN BEFORE someone tells me "you're more likely to get a higher dose of radiation from X than by an x-ray or CT scan" please note that I've received multiple x-rays and/or CT scans a year since the age of eight (I'm thirty now), and the ER doc sincerely advised me against consenting to another radiology scan, despite the severe abdominal pain, unless there's reason to suspect my life is in danger, because I've had more x-rays and CTs in the past twelve months alone than most people have their entire lives.

Lol when I was younger and had more allowance to be silly I used to always ask "how much radiation until I gain superpowers?" and that would get laughs and reassurances from the radiology team that it would take more than one or two scans to do that, but the radiologists never had my complete medical history detailing just how many scans I've had my entire life up to that point.

And like even as a teenager cracking these jokes I knew my chances of cancer were increasing with every scan, and what I was really asking was "how much radiation until I get cancer", but I never came out and said it because I knew I would just get the same condescending reassurance from the radiologists.

I know cancer is inevitable for me, unless something more acute kills me first. The Crohn's disease alone increases my risk for cancer anywhere in the digestive tract, and I have had to get regular scopes decades before most people for both Crohn's monitoring and cancer detecting. And on top of that, both of my maternal grandparents died of cancer, both of my m grandmother's siblings had/have cancer (her sister died of it years ago, her brother currently has it), and my m aunt survived breast cancer. So like, it's something I'm at extreme risk for even without the constant scans.

I tell myself that's a problem for future me, that I'll deal with it when/if it happens, what matters is that we find out now if my intestines are strangling themselves or if my bones are about to snap from the constant needed steroids, and so on. And I still adhere to that philosophy to an extent, but now I'm just curious if I hit that radiology limit (if I haven't hit it already), am I gonna be like radioactive or get radiation poisoning or something because I so don't need that right now

Lol rip me. I've been forgetting to schedule that bone density scan so my clinic got fed up and said they'd schedule for me, but I only just remembered what that ER doctor said last time of my approaching the risk threshold, so I had to leave a message with clinic asking what I'm supposed to do.

living in america is like. one presidential candidate has done net zero. the other guy wants you personally to die. all his campaign ads are still shots of your address and his campaign tour is that he visits your friends and family's houses and knocks on their door while delivering a speech for 2 hours. there's a third guy running who says maybe presidential nominees shouldn't be allowed to advocate murder, but he's not backed by one of two 200-year-old-clubs, so he's going to lose. your aunt loves guy 2 and thinks you're anti-free speech because you don't want to hear out his policies on which way he is going to remove your head from your body. you are insulted by strangers whether you vote for guy 1 OR guy 3
