@RottenInDenmark I’ve asked every visit the past several months to not be weighed or to not face the scale/hear the number. I expected more pushback but so far haven’t received any comments. I wish I had started doing this years ago.

I love when men in my life tell me to “just breathe”. Definitely makes me come to and be like, OH IS THAT ALL IT TAKES.

@megannn_lynne I’m at least 80% sure my grandma has this *exact* sweater, but in pink.

If anyone needs a little motivation today, call [phone].

It’s a school project where kindergarteners give you a pep talk.

It’s so cute 🥹😅. And it’s automated!

It took almost 30 years for me to grow to appreciate my red hair. I was weirded out by strangers telling me how special it was as a child, and still kind of am. But now I give a simple reply:

“Thank you, my mama gave it to me.”

Miss you, Mama.

Reminder: be thoughtful when asking about holiday plans. Do NOT say "are you going to travel to see family?" And do NOT express pity when people share plans to celebrate alone. 1/3

Today I had a long overdue doc appt. On the advice of others, when asked to step on the scale, I asked to step on backward so I couldn’t see the number. My intake caregiver didn’t even hesitate & said, “we don’t have to do it, it’s not necessary”— which begs the question: so why?

@abbygov I met someone a few years ago and he asked if I was on Snapchat, and I responded in a similar way, going on and on about how insignificant I thought the app was now.

He was a manager there. We’re friends now, but he still loves to give me shit about it.

One of my biggest goals in life has always been to find ONE hat that doesn’t make me look like a complete goober.

The term “vegan leather” really is one of the best executed scams I’ve ever seen.

@AngelaSterritt My heritage is composed of five different varieties of white colonizers, all of which are guilty of enslaving, raping, and eradicating other cultures around the world for centuries. I consider myself lucky the words “white” and “settler” are all that are on deck here.

Shoutout to boarding a 2-hour train with an erupted ovarian cyst to go to a city you can’t afford to live in to look for extra work because your landlord of 4 years just served you with a 50% rent increase letter.

@cfpalombo @DrZedZha +1 for @RxOutreach. They literally saved me when I unexpectedly lost my insurance and had hundreds of dollars in prescriptions to cover every month.

@MariettaInshuti @DrSamiSchalk I’ve had two people start seizing in front of me while I was on shift as a bartender. Most of the time, other customers want to get involved but have no experience and are often intoxicated. They try sticking shit in their mouths bc of TV shows. Do not do this.

@KaylarWill And hands!! Omg our poor hands. 😞

Getting a good night’s sleep when you’re chronically ill is like when you think you charged your phone but the charger didn’t work, so it’s still almost dead. Every day. In human form.
