I’m sorry I realised I never actually posted it here but here is my tattoo from Florence

It's the little things that break my heart.
A half drunk bottle of flat coke in the fridge that Laura saved one ordinary lunchtime with every intention of finishing.
It's the trainers by the back door that she'll never lace up & the neatly handwritten 'to do' list on her desk.

The thing where someone ‘costs’ a recipe by going like, 1/10th of a bag of flour, 6p, pinch of salt, <1p, pinch of pepper, <1p, makes no sense and never has. That’s not how grocery shopping works!

Anyway, weird universe coincidences aside, if you see this just a wee reminder to get yourself on the stem cell donation register 💗 (4/3)

I am a scientist through and through so obviously believe in rationality. But, choosing to study immunology and pharmacology as a healthy 16yo, starting the degree at 17, getting leukaemia at 18, and then having a bone marrow transplant, HLH, clinical trials, DLIs, etc (1/3)

[rach 🌿 @highasnope]

Obviously I wish I could stick around longer and actually contribute to science but it’s almost serendipity the broad degree subject I could’ve chosen out of all of them at school has quite literally became my whole life and death. (3/3)

All the times I got in it for not having a sick note for PE when I had two broken legs can join this as second best

[rach 🌿 @highasnope]

I was fiddling with a raffle ticket in primary 2 and accidentally ripped it and someone told on me (??? Not sure why) and showed the teacher an un-ripped one when she asked to see it and like they actually called my mum because I lied 😭 I was just scared man

[Rach @RachaelvsWorld]

what’s the dumbest thing you got in trouble at school for?

[Thanks Cancer! @ThanksCancer]

My body did the best it could under the circumstances.

About 20% of them aren’t “Abled” anymore…

Welcome.

I just got a concert tour date notification thing and realised I’ll be dead by then and that was a very strange moment

Inside me are two wolves: one who wants to buy books purely for the dopamine rush, and one who wants to buy books to read, and unfortunately they’re both authorized to use my credit card

[rach 🌿 @highasnope]

@flomachinenews I got it when I was really sick in hospital a couple of weeks ago and it made my heart so happy to feel like I was still a part of everything 💗

[rach 🌿 @highasnope]

The times I saw Florence are some of the best experiences I have from my life. At these shows I met people who became my closest friends, made memories which became so treasured, and have wild stories to be remembered by. What happened to holding on to each other?

[rach 🌿 @highasnope]

I was at a show in Hungary just before I was diagnosed. I was sick and fainted and was pulled out of the crowd over the barrier. This festival was massive, but the people around me had saved my spot and let me back to the front🥺

[rach 🌿 @highasnope]

THIS is what it’s about. This is what’s important. Maybe we can talk about the good bits now? There’s so much I’ve missed off this list because I’m exhausted but I felt like I had to remind people of how amazing our community is.
