This Is Part Of My Aversion With Just Going To The Doctor, Though In The Opposite Direction. I've Been

This is part of my aversion with just going to the doctor, though in the opposite direction. I've been 'underweight' for a good portion of my adult life and just telling me to gain weight didn't actually help when I didn't feel hunger at all. Being 'thin' isn't as good as most people think.

I think the thing that drives me the most batshit about the medical fatphobia conversation is that the burden of proof feels so exactly backwards. Just from an obvious best practices standpoint???

Things like intentional malnourishment, intentionally incapacitating vital organs through surgery, denial of potentially lifesaving medical care until those things are done, etc.

Those are all pretty extreme. The kinds of things it feels like a “first do no harm” system should have a lot of solid evidence for before recommending or implementing them.

But they’re so bog standard and accepted and everyone from doctors to your own family will look at you like you’re a flat-earther when you suggest maybe we shouldn’t be defaulting to that.

To be honest, this helps with sewing and designing clothes. It gives a point of reference for what you want.

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

This is AMAZING!!!

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?

I actually have a post about something like that for hearing aids!

Hey as someone who isn't disabled and has never used or needed mobility devices, I just wanted to let you all know that it is so fucking cool when people accessorise/decorate/style their mobility devices to match their outfit and style. Like this one time I saw an older lady dressed entirely in yellow and her cane was yellow and had daisies on it and I still remember that sometimes with joy! Yay yellow lady! Or the punk kid I once saw with skull stickers on their wheelchair and a studded wrap on the back of the backrest.

If you've got a mobility tool of some sort and you've wanted to do something to jazz it up somehow but felt too self-conscious about doing it because what if it doesn't look good, I'm gonna tell you that you 100% should. It's so neat to see people personalise their devices, like they're telling you "this is not a foreign object, this is an extension of my body and outfit and will be styled accordingly."

And I just think that's neat.

As a crafter myself, this is super helpful!

Hey, if you do crafts (especially things like crochet, knitting, embroidery, etc), make sure to look up how to identify when a listing is AI generated. You do NOT want to waste money on an incredible looking kit or pattern that is physically impossible to make, especially if you're on sites like etsy hoping to support an actual artist.

YES, ALL THE YES!!!

Say it with me, kids, "I do not deserve this pain. I am in chronic pain due to forces outside of my control. I should not have to earn pain relief. I am good. I do not deserve to be shamed for my pain. It is not my fault."

Please let this be an actual story by now?

Let the Fire Build Into a Blaze

A.N - For the Fandom Bingo card spot 1-2; ‘Giotto x Tsuna’. (Also more time travel AU because it won’t leave me alone oh god get it out of my head.)

“Come here,” Giotto orders, low and intimate, slowly extending his hand out. Tsuna jerks like a startled horse, eyes blazing as he stares at Giotto, nostrils flared. His muscles have tensed up, and the blond can practically see the back-and-forth fight between instinct and obedience in his head. Instinct says uncertain, unknown, while obedience is telling him go, listen to your blood. But he’s fighting both, Giotto is pleased to see, his Sky Flames flickering out, tasting the air, waiting for the trap to spring itself while his eyes sweep the forest, looking for quick exits.
