looks like I triggered more sjws. Keep sending these asks they only fuel my logic.
Never forget the guy who didn’t remember to hit anon before sending himself hate mail
It’s not just that; he had to see the auto-hate mail before sharing it with the rest of Tumblr, and it never twigged through the entire process of replying that it weren’t on anon.
since I’m 18 now I had to call the hospital myself to get test results and I was simply planning on saying that I had a blood test last week and if I could get the results back but when the woman answered I said “I want my blood back” and hung up the phone, so I’m never trying that again
It is Asian and Pacific Islander heritage month so please take a minute to read this. Samuel Kaleioka Kaeo, a Hawaiian professor has a warrant out for his arrest just for speaking Hawaiian in court. He is facing charges for protesting against the construction of a telescope on a sacred mountain in Haleakalā. Words cannot convey how disgusted I am with this trash country.
“Punishing Native Hawaiians for speaking our native language invokes a disturbing era in Hawaii’s history when olelo Hawaii was prohibited in schools, a form of cultural suppression that substantially contributed to the near extinction of the Hawaiian language,” Crabbe said.
“It is disappointing that the state government continues to place barriers on olelo Hawaii, 40 years after Hawaii’s constitution was amended to recognize the Hawaiian language as an official language of the state. We demand that the state Judiciary find an immediate solution to this issue.”
Hawai’i is more than a picture perfect sunset. It’s more than a vacation spot away from work. Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) are still facing blatant racism and suppression in 2018. This is oppressive action against the protesters. This is bullshit white supremacy in action.
I don’t know how to directly help, so I’m spreading the word. We must all practice Malama ‘Aina. http://m.hawaiinewsnow.com/hawaiinewsnow/db/330510/content/YTPnUXB5
Being chronically ill is having literally every breath you take scrutinized. You’re smiling, laughing, getting around okay, maybe even jump or dance: “It can’t be that bad, you look fine!” You are stuck in bed from the pain, illness, & fatigue: “Just try harder, make an EFFORT”
Ya know what, folks? Just let chronically ill people survive their daily lives in the best way they know how. You are not in their body, you will NEVER know how hard they push themselves; how every joy, every physical action was fought for, how LOW every low actually is.
Because of internalized ableism we rarely, if EVER, show people our lowest lows. There’s an added pressure to be presentable, to blend in, to do things as independently as possible so we don’t feel like “burdens” or “buzzkills” to those around us!
Trust chronically ill people when they tell you their limits, they don’t need to “make an effort” they NEED a break, They’re putting their best efforts every day of their lives and it goes completely unacknowledged.
Chronic illness is a full-time job on its own:
-Researching your illness -Organizing data -Arranging doctor’s appointment -Emotional/physical labor of said doctor’s appointments -Experimenting with treatments -Pushing through symptoms to continue daily life
If you’re LUCKY your doctor isn’t an obstacle in regards to attaining your diagnosis or treatment,
If you’re **lucky** MONEY isn’t an obstacle in regards to attaining your diagnosis or treatment.
Chronically ill people are fighting for themselves EVERY DAY; even those with an episodic chronic illness that impacts their lives rarely and on occasion, they’re metaphorically and constantly walking on a tightrope, avoiding triggers, anxiously waiting for the next episode.
So next time you’re puzzled about how a chronically ill person is doing any particular activity or maybe you think that they’re only sick because they’re not trying hard enough… worry about yourself instead.
You don’t know their body, you are not in their body, you don’t know what it feels like, you DO NOT get to make that call.
