Crying I drew Stanley as a warm up sketch and tried to make him look older help me 😭

Hey, listen here. Psst, down here.

Disability isn't a competition. You are not less or more disabled than another disabled individual. No one is "disabled enough." Saying that certain disabilities are not valid is ableism. You are not immune to ableism just because you're disabled.

If it affects your ability to do activities negatively, it's a disability.

Yes, this means chronic pain, yes this means joint pain, this means sensory issues, this means mental issues, this means brain damage, this means deformities, this mean developmental disabilities like ADHD, this means tic disorders and tics themselves, this means all disabilities. All disability is disabled enough.

Just hurt my drawing hand so ig there goes tomorrow's plans

Yk what I'll take it for now

Learning your limits with chronic pain is such a pain in the ass. Especially if you were very active before being blessed with your new condition.

So I have fibromyalgia and arthritis, and even though it's been well over a year since this initial flare took me down, I haven't quite gotten the hang of stopping before I make it worse. I am finally able to work/be active a few hours a day provided that there is sufficient time to lie down and rest between those hours. Even sitting upright counts as part of the "active hours".

Anyway, yesterday I worked, did my grocery shopping, put some of the groceries away, and organized some yarn. At some point, I was like oh I should make some calls today but I couldn't. I literally had no energy left. And I kept beating myself up over it. Like they're just phone calls, it's not hard, I can surely make a few phone calls and get them off my list. That was the loop on repeat in my head.

But then I was like wait, how do I feel in my body? What's happening in my body right now? When I checked in with my body, I realized that I was in more pain than I was aware of and had already gone slightly overboard on activity. That's when the loop in my head finally stopped and I laid down without any guilt.

I say all this because it's not fucking intuitive at all. Learning to adjust to your condition and energy level is a bitch and nobody really tells you how to do that. And most people will fight against it until they absolutely can't anymore, making their symptoms much worse than they would be on their own. Basically this is a learn from my mistakes post. I hope it helps someone out. ✌️

I'm altering my jacket and it just feels so good to do something. To make something. To forget about my phone for a while. God it's an amazing break from doom scrolling on tiktok for weeks

my grandma acted like she didn't even want me at the family gathering, happy thanksgiving folks

Why did I wake up with a headache? Like brain you were supposed to make everything better while sleeping??

I'm slapping the next person I see share that Bugs Bunny "cutting Florida off the country" gif.

There are significant numbers of marginalized people who live here, my family included. Do you genuinely think we deserve to be cast off into the sea just because we're being held hostage by an increasingly fascist state government?

Florida is a beautiful place with so many amazing people and cultures. Fuck you if you think we don't mean anything or should "just leave."

I'm getting pretty fucking tired of "Florida is a gross cesspit full of crackheads and republicans" jokes. Because at the end of the day, it's just bigotry dressed up in shitty low-effort humor. "Crackhead" shouldn't be a punchline in the first fucking place.

Florida isn't your cheap punchline and Floridians are real fucking people. These swamps and prairies are my fucking HOME.
