Someone went off Facebook before Jeff responds which was a person tagging him asking him to join in on the fun validating that flagrant me was a whale. Eating disorder history and pregnancy sucked ads but at least people I know made it harder. As a bonus I was underweight - I had untreated HG.

“Modern Leper” hurts so much more now that im 37. Scott Hutchinson was 36 when he walked into the fucking ocean. That concert was magical and inspiring for me, but knowing he suffered I feel supremely selfish

Duke: don't come to this appointment, abx will fuck your results, do NOT come me: *doesn't come* Duke: "This was a no call, no show and your referral no longer valid. It will remain on your chart for all departments to see. We do not care you had pneumonia, and we do not care WE called."

Someone on long Covid Twitter is insisting we're all massive. I lost half of myself and SURPRISE! Still sick! I weigh under 110 lbs. right now. I've had mid-80s O2 repeatedly since. I've also blacked out from POTS multiple times since.

My grandfather, who worked directly on the Manhattan Project, silently voted as left wing as he was ever able based on his local election paper, every year until he died. He spoke about nothing, and I assume he was bound by law and death (of us, not him) not to. He would have hated ALL you fash.

I know there is much more pressing, important things in the world, but my breasts hurt, especially the one with the lump in it from back in 2023 (diagnosed, as you remember - as anxiety).

Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels. Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/norwegian-fu...

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

I spent most of the past decade so unfathomably angry about the rise of US fascism that I could barely function. Existed in a constant state of rage and anxiety. I’m still angrier than I can express in words, but it’s shifted to a cold, rational hatred of my enemy.

There would be a reintroduction to slavery and indentured servitude, make zero mistake. I can't believe this isn't discussed more. Lemme die on a dying earth. I mean that.

Not to dig my nails into old wounds and reinfecting everyone, I am back in game. I am Jouhdas on Zul’jin if you need that to avoid me. I do not see myself as Judas, though. I did, but that has changed. Dying changes you.

We are in times where we will be asked to choose between very obvious good and evil, and good will be the dangerous choice. We must choose it anyway.

Birdie's new name is Gruttons. Adjust accordingly.

Read "Night", too. The quote stands on its own, but his novel made me cry hard enough to throw up (in public) and I only had to flash to cover as my justification to those around me. They understood. Things were THAT bad. Things ARE that bad again.

still have pneumonia day ?????

I have found that when masking while having pneumonia - like straight up, diagnosed and confirmed pneumonia - has been offensive. No one wants this. I am the house adult. I have to do basic things. Not everything can be through an app.

the last time I was this tired I was literally and not metaphorically dying

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

still pneumonia

I have not had a period since 2016 - 8 years.

This is actually a concern because I am at a point where I wake up to hours old food I’m too indifferent to touch. If hospitals weren’t full, I’d go. But they are full. They are always full.

Most of our heroes are bad people and it sucks to learn that but we best learn it now to save later disappointment. They’re no less human than the rest of us. We are all human, fallible, and in varying states of moral failure.

need a shock collar that zaps me every time I click "show hidden replies"

I have motherfucking pneumonia on a snow day in the south. Fuck me.

@themountaingoats.bsky.social not the 1st parent question of kids similarly aged - but how do we be brave for them right now? I’m not delusional enough to think we’re besties but my friends don’t have kids. How are we supposed to be the brave ones now? I’m scared. I’m sure you are, too.

It was the first time, too. The coup started in 2016

I am curious as to why a heart reading via 12-lead EKG would invert after a bad omicron infection permanently. I asked but no one answered even to say it's nbd. Sometimes it's both normal and inverted! #doctor #medicalprofessional #healthcare #physician

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

A frightening number of people have let their mask slip enough to show the glee in dehumanizing of people who have no say in where their lives take them. They enjoy their hate. They delight in it. They dance in it like warm rain hitting the concrete except where the rain is acid.

But I have a cold from recycled air on two direct flights. And I hit my head on a cupboard corner. I keep slipping/falling and hitting my head on shit since the grand mal. I do have a neuro and MRI next week. But it’s scary the brain stuff is coming to a head. (GET IT?!)

As a stroke survivor, I traveled one coast to another, managed the employer-paid hotel and per diems, etc. alone. That is MASSIVE.

Not for the first time, Cheekface took me for a loop. Halfway asleep on a SEA-RDU direct flight, full of Coke, a good edible, and extra Biscoffs, “Growth Sux” yanks me right back out. of my daze, wondering if the oxygen masks did actually fall.

@tonyhawkproskater.bsky.social no matter how much I idolized you as a teen, you will not become my trusted CoQ10 source. It’s gonna be the CVS clerk who thought I was dying very soon (almost did!): “any of them just take them”

Here’s to not having an 18-month depressive episode upon returning home after I realize everyone and everything I loved in WA is gone. At least I’m in Seattle. People are nice here. Moving to the south was an upgrade from Kennewick. I will not be elaborating.

@herbshouse.bsky.social hi. I’m the dumb shit who left her id and money on the east coast where I live and don’t own winter clothing at all. (I’m from Pasco I have no excuse.) I will be there at 8:30 in the am. My ID and necessary to life meds are overnighted. Just wanted to let you know.

I find it funny when I say I'm 5'2 online, meet people from the Internet, and they are then surprised I am actually 5'2. "I sized you up in my head" compared to themselves. WHY. 5'2 is short but still within the standard deviation of "normal" for cis women in the US. What a weird thing to lie about

All this to say, this is my first solo trip between international airports since the stroke, and it's scarier because it's Washington of all places. It's not Pasco (good, psychic damage), but it is Seattle (bad, gigantic).
