social media: the downfall.

oh...that's why my "rest day" ended in more pain :/

Fun fact! Did you know that if you don't move around enough with chronic pain, that it will hurt just as bad if you move around too much?! So no matter what you do, there is only

pain˚✧ ﾟ.

“message me” I absolutely will NOT

౨ৎ‧₊˚ they'll message you after a post talking about how sad and ill you are too?? can they just be normal 🙏

look I'm a disability studies scholar so I know why people are like this. but. people really do get so pressed about the dumbest shit. why do you care if someone has multiple people in their head? why do you care if someone is existing with a mobility aid in your line of sight? why do you care if someone takes a couple extra seconds to formulate a sentence? even if you don't believe that someone is legitimately disabled (which is bad on its own. but still). what do you lose by just taking people at face value? and what do you gain by living life as an angry little ass all the time?

i miss when AI didn’t exist and we wrote heartfelt letters to our lovers that died in war and spent the rest of our days haunting the shoreline, leading sailors to their doom as they mistook our crying for singing.

nihilism and stoicism isn’t enough, I need God.

"I ate extra bleached paper as a child." "what are you? a cop?" "immortality costs an arm and a leg, I'm on a loan." "you know that fear of getting caught in an escalator?" "it's a long story including, (insert unhinged items), (random person)< (weird location)" (switch it up each time)

Some funny/less paltable things you can say when people invasively ask why you have a mobility aid!

"It's a weapon."

Ignore them

Something dramatic like "Oh I was attacked by a shark" or "I got caught in a zombie apocalypse"

"It's to spice up my outfit"

"I tried to build an army of insert favorite animal and they turned on me :("

"What insert mobility aid?"

"Why do you have an insert mobility aid?"

"Why do you not have an insert mobility aid"

"Do I know you?"

"Yeah I guess I just couldn't wait for my 60s"

"Just to bother you."

"Just to confuse you."

"Wouldn't you like to know"

"I went through a wildly traumatic experience, thanks for asking"

RB/comment your go-to when somebody asks about your mobility aid!

oh to be able to cover a letter that I have spilled my heart onto in a confession of love with my lipstick so that the love of my life can treasure the little bit of me that has mad the distance.

I’ll do what I can to guide you and help you,
