Pisses me off that in winter my flat can’t retain any heat. With all heaters on full power I can maybe get the temperature up to 18°C degrees. But within 5 mins of turning off it drops to 12°C. Now? In this heatwave? Suddenly it decides to hold onto the heat…29°C all night
I knew it was 3x more prevalent in Black ppl but I’d love to see research on how long it takes to be diagnosed. I (a white woman) have lupus but it took so long & was such a battle to get diagnosed, somehow I don’t think my Black sisters had an easier time than me.
Halsey says doctors missed her lupus for years because she looks white, and told her it sucks she looks so white when they finally found it
Benny: "It's very hard to have lupus if you're white. Correct?
Halsey: "It's predominantly African-American women, Latin women. And I'm half black, so that was another thing too"
"A lot of my doctors were like, that sucks, you look so white, because we probably would have found this a lot sooner if we knew"
"And I was like, I told you guys. And they're like, yeah, we didn't really take it serious, didn't really consider it"
"The genes are the same, brother"
Cannot stress enough how miserable I am. It’s 4:30am and I had to close the curtains an hour ago because of the dawn light. It’s already 25°C with 72% humidity and that was with opening all my windows since the evening (and keeping my curtains closed yesterday).
