I think more people need to learn the phrase "I don't know enough about that to have a strong opinion" its literally a cheat code for awkward conversations

its ok if you actually do know a lot about the thing and/or have strong opinions about it btw. you can just lie

I use this all the time, it’s great

Diabetes isnt the 'ate too many sweets disease'. It just fucking is not. It's your body slowly losing an integral function needed to nuture and energize it. Its your pancreas shutting down, its your blood cells rejecting your attempts to feed itself, its not enough insulin to go around. Its you slowly getting colder and weaker, gorging yourself with healthy food and getting next to no benefit, its being so exhausted you cant sleep. Diabetes used to kill, straight-up KILL. So no, I don't think I will be laughing at your diabetes joke.

Do you know why diabetics eat so many sweets? Because we need sugar, and we need sugar FAST. Everyones' bodies rely on sugars for nutrients and energy, and in a non-diabetic body sugars get absorbed at a normal rate using your normal amount of insulin into your normal red blood cells. This happens to healthy carbs, superfood vegetables, and some proteins!

Diabetics dont have that luxury! Without medication, our body is in a constant crisis where we need more sugar and the sugars that break down the fastest are sweets! But then they dont all get absorbed, then the unabsorbed sugar hangs out in our bloodstream then gets flushed out, and then we still need more. All those healthy things break down too slowly for when we're in a crisis, and then we STILL dont absorb all of it! And I'm only talking about type 2, type 1 cant absorb anything at all because they dont have any insulin!

You cannot healthy eat or diet your way out of diabetes. You cannot lose weight out of diabetes. Once you get diabetes, even if you manage your symptoms perfectly you HAVE diabetes. You have a chronic illness. And that means its time to see doctors, get on medications, and practice self care.

And sometimes self care means you eat dessert first while dinner is cooking so you have the energy to finish cooking. Sometimes that means eating many small meals to match your body's absorption rate. Sometimes that means eating at midnight so you have the blood sugar to sleep.

Im just tired of diabetes being seen as a joke or only something you get if you're 'bad'. And diabetics? I love you, talk to a nutritionist about diabetic eating, and don't forget your meds.

Reblog this and put your birthday in the tags so your followers know

Quick survey how old are you and do you care about your wedding like is it actually that serious for you

18, 19 in like a week, and I refuse to ever get married

At this point I just assume that all "ethical vegans" are just racist and that they chose veganism as their outlet for it

You gotta write for funsies sometimes. Everything doesn’t have to be groundbreaking. Like. Who cares if it’s a little silly it is made out of love

Me, writing my first smut last week

Reblog this if you didn't even know Facebook was down.

Like, today?

…what?

Really?

What??

Facebook was down???

Looking back I spent over half of my life wishing that I weren't alive

But it's amazing, because now I can truthfully say that I'm so glad to be here

There are lots of things to love about being alive, even if it may take what seems like forever to find them. And I know this may not seem like it means much, because posts like this didn't mean much to me back then, but it really will all be worth it someday

Knowing that others have gotten to this point is really helpful for me. I don’t want to die anymore but I’m still in that limbo of not wanting to live either. I simply don’t care either way and honestly I hate feeling like this.

But knowing that one day I will look back on all of my struggles with empathy for my past self and happiness that I stuck through the hard times makes these days seem not as hard

The fanfiction is out! It’s called How’s This For Rugged? By ThatBitch151 on Ao3

Hey, could you do me a favor?

Could you just RB this?

The little RB statistics chart is so pleasant and stimmy to look at and I want to see what it looks like when it gets really REALLY huge because it makes me think of some deep sea lifeform

Had to share this here because you're right and you should say it. It's incredible how many people came out of the woodwork as soon as AO3 was down and suddenly had no compunctions at all about screaming how much they love and need fanfic--on the AO3 twitter. Is it so much harder to do in the comment section?

At this point I don't care anymore if people call me entitled or think I'm out of line. If fanfic is so meaningful to you that you cannot go half an hour without, let alone 24h, then you can get over yourself long enough to write a fucking comment. No excuses.

"writing comments is hard and scary" yeah well GUESS WHAT so is writing fanfics. fandom as a community is dying, because it is instead treated as a COMMODITY, a CONSUMER PRODUCT. We're not asking for much. We're asking for a CONNECTION. We don't want to sell, we want to share.

You've shown your hand. You've admitted you cannot live without us. Now ACT LIKE IT. Go write a fucking comment.

This! I didn’t understand how important leaving kudos and positive comments was until I posted my own fics, and suddenly every comment and every kudo meant so so much. Show us writers that you like our work, we will write more if you do, and it also just makes us incredibly happy.
