Chronically ill folks should be exempt from getting “regular” sick. It should be illegal for us to have a cold. #NEISvoid #chronicillness

“Just take a shower!" And spend the rest of the day recovering? Bold of you to assume. “Just eat something healthy!” Love that! Yes please. Who's cooking it? “Just exercise!” Sure, let me speedrun a flare-up. Basic tasks aren't basic when your body runs on hard mode. #NEISvoid #chronicillness

“If my life wasn’t funny, it would just be true and that is unacceptable.” — Carrie Fisher

Being chronically ill is like: "It's fine" "It's fine" "It's fine" *complete mental breakdown because I can't do this anymore* "It's fine" #NEISvoid #chronicillness

Whomever said nothing in life is free lied! Being chronically ill is so much fun. It takes 8 years to get diagnosed & then you get like 5 other issues for free with your diagnosis! #NEISvoid #chronicillness

Someone should invent a new kind of body that doesn't do this nonsense. #NEISvoid #chronicillness

What would happen if we stopped praising folks for pushing through & instead praised them for taking care of themselves & being mindful of their limits? #NEISvoid #chronicillness

my stomach be like: not even a little hungry not hungry not hungry not hungry i told you i wasn’t hungry FEED ME NOW BITCH I’M STARVING.

So excited to see @rachaelsage.bsky.social at @evanstonspace.bsky.social on 3/20! Rachael’s music is beautifully poetic, honest & catchy. Her stage presence is magnetic. I dare you to attend this show & not fall in love with her music. Tickets: rachaelsage.com/shows

Pain today is 9/10. I’m functioning with a brain that feels like overcooked oatmeal. Earlier, hubby held my hand as I cried myself to sleep & never let go even after I fell asleep. (Being unconscious is the only time I’m not in pain. I’ll take the escape.)

Knoweth thy lane and stayeth the fuck inside it.

A nationwide economic blackout is set for tomorrow as a protest against the removal of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs as well as corporate greed. It's a great way to show up, especially for those of us that might not be able to attend in person protests. Art via Brutal Doodles on FB

i hope the universe shows you how you can be loved into growth instead of having to be broken into it… because you've already learned so much of how strong you've grown through darkness… but i think you're made of flowers; how you bloom when there's light on your skin

We’re watching Superstore and I want to laugh so hard but then my dislocated rib reminds me what a terrible idea that would be.

Shoutout to EDS: Fuck you. I had to google how to reset a fucking rib today. What an absolute joy to be alive. Also shoutout to everyone who ever told me my joints can’t possibly dislocate because it would be so painful. They do and fuck you.

More than anything else I want my 20 Year Old Lindsay knees back. Getting old sucks.

The longer I’m alive, the more I feel I don’t understand the assignment.

Me: We would have a Dead Lindsay on our hands. Steve: You would be bummed. Me: I would be dead. You might be bummed! Steve: Yes I would. No Dead Lindsays please.

I spent today curled up on the couch next to the space heater. My right side got really warm so I turned over for even warmth distribution. After the fourth or fifth cycle of this I thought “well now I know how a rotisserie chicken feels.”

Painfully accurate.

I put the “fun” in “dysfunctional.”

A large group of people is called a “no thanks.”

Encouraging someone to be entirely themselves is the loudest way to love them. 🌈

Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side because it’s fake.

What doesn’t kill you gives you a dark sense of humor and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Monday: Here we fucking go again. Tuesday: Fucking hate it here. Wednesday: How the fuck is it only Wednesday? Thursday: One more fucking day. Friday: Fucking made it! Saturday: Fucking finally! Sunday: Fuck no.

“There may well be constraints on what our life looks like right now. That’s OK; we can and should accept that, but do not let there ever be a constraint on whether your life is worth living. It absolutely is and everyone can support one another in that message.” — Dr. Ian Dawe

We should have a national quiet day where everyone just shuts up for 24 hours.

Hear me out: What’s the best that could happen? 🌈

“Sometimes suffering is just suffering. It doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t build character. It only hurts.” Kate Jacobs

Don’t judge my story by the chapter you walked in on.

Be a Kermit The Frog. Have a creative vision & no ego. Recognize the unique talents of those around you. Attract weirdos. Manage chaos. Show kindness. Be sincere.

Today we are bad bitches not sad bitches! If you plan to be a sad bitch for the day, go take you a nappy nap, get a snack & get yourself right. After that, come with me. There’s fuckery to spread. Let’s go!

“Sometimes I’ve thought I’ve cried so many tears. That’s all I was anymore — a fountain for misery to cycle through. I’d rather than not be true, but at least I’m alive. I’m grateful for that. Tears can be teachers if we let them.” — Lady Gaga

What comes easy won’t last. What lasts won’t come easy.

make yourself a priority. 🖤
