@humanbeingawk Starting in sixth grade, wanted to be a chemist. Ideally teach college chemistry. I am now a chemist

@TheTiniestMeep I hope it goes well for the POTS dx. I thought meds weren't going to help for it but they totally have changed my life and I can stand for dozens of minutes instead of 1 or 2. It's been wonderful and I hope you find relief too. Salt and water have never been enough to help alone

“Greed is human nature.” No, greed is what systems reward. Cooperation and care are equally human, yet punished under markets. The system manufactures the nature it prefers.

@BibiBlossoms Glad you're finally getting them, I'm so sorry it's been so long. Most holter monitors these days are adhesive so if you have skin issues with adhesives, consider talking to your doctor about steroids or alternative dressings and stuff. Itchy monitors for 10 days is HELL

being autistic fucking sucks sometimes what do you mean if I hear too much of the wrong noises I start becoming evil and can feel my heart growing full with hate

@documense I also have scars meeting in the middle and so do so many people I know personally and yet no one ever draws them meeting in the middle!

@suchnerve Going to an autism affirming/accepting therapist that was noncarceral and into mutual aid solved a lot of the issues I had with terrible therapists. With other therapists I was either praised consistently for having the right answers/already having intellectualized or I was evil

I am a bit curious, if there are people who we believe are naturally slim, no matter what they eat they never gain weight. Why is it difficult for us to accept that there are also people who are naturally fat? And no matter what, they cannot (naturally) go below a certain size

[Emerson 🐌✨🧪🍇 @em_agical]

@Chidima007 @Dethroner101 @ThatPHCBoy And yet! Skinny people aren't societally oppressed. Stop centering thin people when we aren't talking about their issues. You can make fun of someone for being white and it doesn't make the oppressed. Same thing with weight. Anti fat bias kills.

@rehrehrehan @TheDivineNigga @misanderist Yes, it's stressful to not have the resources you need to take care of your kids, regardless of ability. But also, choosing to have a child means accepting that they may be disabled and that you must care for and love them just as much as if they were non disabled.

Let’s make something painfully clear:
Infighting is not activism.
Gatekeeping is not advocacy.
And perfection is not the price of entry into this community.

@Goobian @chronicallybeee did you tell him we already tried that in the US?

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

URGENT: This morning in Western NY, federal immigration agents stopped a bus of farm workers from Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms. They had a list of names, including UFW worker leaders who have been organizing to unionize their workplace. Those workers were detained.
