basically, not all of us people with eds are hypermobile, and we shouldnt reduce ehlers danlos to just being hypermobile with stretchy skin.
I have hEDS, the most common type of EDS, where you do get hypermobility, but even hEDS is more than that.
i really wish that ehlers-danlos syndrome wasn't basically just thought of as the "bendy" disorder. firstly, there are more than 13 types of eds, and they all have varying relations to and degrees of hypermobility. secondly, eds are a collection of congenital connective tissue disorders - connective tissue makes up a vast majority of your body and, because of this, eds, hsd, and other congenital connective tissue disorders like loey-dietz, marfans, stickler syndrome, and osteogenesis imperfecta are multi systemic.
having eds or another connective tissue disorder is SO much more than just some flexibility and it's especially frustrated that they're often thought of solely in relation to that one aspect of them because it leads a lot of people down the path of misdiagnosis.
as an advocate and educator regarding ctds and especially eds, i have spoken to SO many people who simply wrote the possibility of them having a ctd like ehlers-danlos off simply because they aren't flexible. it's such a dangerous misconception and really frustrating to see especially given the fact that the muscles of hypermobile people often overcompensate to make up for joint laxity, which can actually lead to a lack of flexibility/high tone/spasticity
so yeah, tl;dr: if you have a bunch of multisystemic symptoms that seem largely unconnected, look into connective tissue disorders. they're much more common than people think, frequently go under the radar, and can really wreck havoc on your body - ESPECIALLY when you aren't aware that you have one

All thanks, gratitude and love to you 🌹🙏
Hello my friend, my name is Jaafar from North Gaza, I am 24 years old, and finally after waiting for a whole year of killing, displacement, hunger, massacres and genocide against us, the time for a ceasefire has come, thank God we are still alive after all the exhaustion, and during the next week we will return to our homes in North Gaza, which was completely destroyed, unfortunately our area was completely and brutally destroyed and we have nothing left, neither a home, nor property, nor furniture, nor clothes, nor any other clothes, I know that returning to the north will be very painful and difficult due to the lack of the necessities of life, and we will start building our lives from scratch, but we are happy for the war to end.
Please 🙏, donate to my campaign to save my family, even a small amount will help us stabilize ourselves a little, and buy some supplies 🥹, I hope that God will protect your family and friends, thank you 🥰🩵

To those who keep scrolling... this is not just another link ⚠️.
This is my room—crushed until its height became less than 30 cm💔 🧱.
This is my teddy bear and the cover of my bed—pulled from under the debris with my own hands🧸🥹.
We spent over a month clearing rubble just to build a tent beside the ruins ⛺.
But even the tent wasn’t allowed to stay... ❌
We were forced to leave—by an order from the occupation ⚠️🥹.
It feels like every trace of life is being taken from us, again and again 😔 .
I’ve shared. I’ve begged. I’ve screamed💔.
But the silence around me is louder than my pain🥹.
If you can’t donate, share 🤝.
Some of us are being buried alive—under the world’s silence🔥.

pakehas when i tell them being maori is about recognising your maori ancestors, back to the first arrival and percentages didnt matter
Idk, I feel like reverse racism is a thing but its nowhere near to the scale of real racism. In my country people are offered scholarships if they are 'Maori'. And by that the government means if your great great great gran was maori then you're maori too. Idk its something thats always irked me, I feel like you shouldnt be handed money for something you had no control over ya know?
Reverse racism isn’t real
" I am Randa from Gaza, I am 21 years old, my family and I consist of 6 people, I was studying accounting at my university and my brother Zidane and I lost our university, and I was happy with my life until October 7, we moved to the south with difficulty, me and my family, walking on foot, it is impossible to forget this day, it is engraved in my memory, the bombing was over our heads and we were just people, we just wanted safety, and when we arrived in the south, unfortunately our life was very difficult, we lived the winter and summer in the south, the two seasons are more difficult than each other, in the winter we do not sleep from the bitter cold, and in the summer we do not sleep from the heat of the tents and the difficulty of transportation and obtaining water, no safety, no cleanliness, I lost my home, I lost my university, I lost my friends, I am very tired, I want help and to have a safe and clean life, please help me, my family and I are in danger, we want safety, I am tired of this life, bombing, destruction, starvation, high cost of living, I want a safe life, all of you are able to help me towards a better life and complete my educational path, please do not leave us alone, we love life, I want peace. "
That is a desperate plea from Randa ( @randasobh23 ), from Gaza. She is a human being just like you and I, who is tired and just wants saftey and peace, she loves life, and does not want to lose her only because she is Palestinian. Like any person would be, she is tired of living through genocide, she is tired of living through pain and seemingly endless suffering. She has no safe home to return to, to education or stable future to look forward to, and no certainty, the the occupation is violent and unpredictable.
Please, read this and see her as a human just like you, with complex thoughts, experiences and emotions - going through pain and suffering like no other. If you have the means to help her, please donate what you can. Any contribution will make a difference. You should donate to helo her regain stability and move on to a normal life - and help afford the basic needs of living in Gaza. Please - help her. In any way you can. Share, don't let her message go unheard.
To all Tumblr users, don't leave me alone ‼️💔
My name is Samir, and I am just a simple man, carrying great love for my family and small dreams I have always wished to fulfill.
Our path in life has never been easy. We are a family of seven, living under harsh conditions that only God truly knows.
I do my best every day to provide my children and family with the basics of life: food, clean water, and a dignified living. But the burden has become heavier than I can carry alone.
Every day, I wake up with the sunrise, holding on to a new hope that I can cover our most basic needs: a simple meal on the table, clean water to drink, and a notebook and pencil for my son who dreams of completing his education.
But expenses continue to rise, and the small income I earn is barely enough to cover even the essentials.
I did not turn to this fundraising campaign out of greed or luxury, but out of genuine need and belief in the goodness that lives in people’s hearts.
I humbly ask for your support to help me provide education for my children, and food and clean water for my family.
Your help, no matter how small, could change our lives and open a new door of hope toward a better future.
I appeal to you from the heart of a father who only dreams of seeing his children grow up healthy and safe to be part of this journey with us.
Please, contribute whatever you can and share our story with others. Your support whether through donations, words, or sharing truly makes a difference.
I got $1760 in a very long time almost 7 months
I need any small donation, it will mean a lot to me, any donation, even if it is $1
May God bless every giving hand and reward you with goodness.
A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety
Hello, I am Ahed Al-Bashiti, son of a family of 7 members.
We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair.
We struggle daily to survive in an environment filled with threats and dangers.
My father and brothers lost our only source of income and our house was destroyed and we are now homeless 💔
We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure our family's safety.
We are in desperate need of your support. Any donation, no matter how small, can help save our lives. Thank you for your attention and support during these harsh times.
Hello my friend, please help. We do not have money to buy food and drink. I have young children who do not know the taste of sleep because of the bitter cold caused by the rain. We do not have shelter. Our services are torn. Donate to me, even if it is a little. I ask you to help, my friend 🙏🙏😭 ✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #380 )✅️💔
