it’s okay to do things that make your symptoms worse (as long as you’ll stay safe)
every once in a while you need to eat something yummy. or go on a walk. or a trip to the zoo. take a hot shower. cry your eyes out. dance. listen to music. draw for way to long. write. laugh. sit in a cafe with a friend. paint your nails. dye your hair. go on a run. pet a cat
sometimes you need to do things that are cathartic or make yourself feel alive. sometimes you need the reminder of why you’re fighting so hard to stay alive
this is your reminder that just because it makes your symptoms worse, it isn’t always the wrong thing to do. there can be value in these actions
If you think about it too, abled people do it all the time. Deciding to drink to excess at a party knowing they’ll have a hangover. Going to a theme park knowing walking all day is going to hurt their feet by the end. We have the right to make those same decisions.
This is called Dignity of Risk, and it’s an important concept in disability justice.
Everyone weighs their physical and mental/emotional health against one another in constantly shifting balance; inevitably, there are times when we choose to accept consequences to one for the sake of the other.
Infantilsing us by undermining our agency in the name of “protection” or “care” is yet another way that we are disabled by society.
me being a nerd girl with a 90s high school movie “kick me” sign but instead of being taped on my back I’m holding it up and blushing and being super embarrassed and needy

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(
hnn I WANT IT SO BAD
on closer inspection, it makes a lot of really obnoxious noises and is also Too Expensive. BUT FEAR NOT I found this slightly smaller dude wedged in the back!
IT HAS BITE ACTION, AND THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS
now we enter the testing phase
yup. looks good.
Extreme Chompin T-Rex says IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
Can we take a moment to appreciate that we can use this as a rosetta stone to say “EXTREME CHOMPIN’ “ in four languages?
OH SHIT YOU’RE RIGHT, let me check the garbage to see if it’s still there! hopefully I didn’t destroy it in my excitement
*roar sound effect*
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
update update: I re-sized her collar and found a bag of toy bones at the craft store. I haven’t put this much effort into a non-school thing since my last job search, help
(secret bonus: the other side of her tag)
There’s more!
I love.
I saw that people are reblogging the thread again, so I thought I’d give you all an update on how Wexter is doing!
(just fine)
Wexter And The Case Of Her Continuing Marvelously Naughty Garden Adventures
OP and Wexter can break all my toes and I would still send a thank you card
Wexter says SHE WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING (but she might chew your ankles a little bit maybe)
so it’s come to my attention that at some point this weekend Wexter blew past 100,000 notes, and I for one think that’s very cash money of her.
it’s been a few weeks, I suppose we should check up on the AHSGSHGAFB?!
ajdhf.
well that’s just,,,
REXCELLENT
two hundred THOUSAND notes???!?!
HELL
YES
HELL
FUCKING
YES.
Nearing on 375K Notes!!! What in the Paleolithic are y'all gonna do when they top 400K?!
cry, probably
Reblogging to get you one note closer to crossing the 400k mark!
IT’S TIME
YOU MANIACS. okay, here we go!
HAIL TO THE QUEEN
LONG MAY SHE REIGN!
(she was a skater Rex, she said see you later Rex, she’s finally hit 400k!)
we’re coming to you live from Halloween 2022, where Wexter continues to be ridiculously jawsome!
this year we’re doing a much-beloved character from classic literature, “Dracula with inappropriate straw hat”
thanks everyone, may your weens be hollow and your candy be many!
hey! HEY. it’s Halloween 2023! AND YOU’LL NEVER GUESS WHAT WEXTER IS DRESSED UP AS THIS YEAR.
NO BUT YOU ALL NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW FUNNY THIS IS THEYRE LITERALLY FILLING A ROBOT WITH BULLETS, LIKE BULLETS THAT YOU FIRE FROM A GUN. NOW NORMALLY FIRING A GUN TRIGGERS THE BULLET TO EXPLODE CREATING A PRESSURE THAT CAUSES THE TIP OF THE BULLET TO BE FORCED OUT OF THE BARREL AT A HIGH SPEED.
WHaT CAVE JOHNSON’S TURRET’S DO IS LOAD A TON OF FUCKING BULLETS INTO THE CASE OF THE SENTRY LIKE IT”S A GODDAMN GUMBALL MACHINE AND THEN USE A FUcKIN SPRING LOADED PISTON TO FIRE IT THAT IS SO UNNECESSARY AND INEFFECTIVE LIKE NO WONDER CHELL CAN RESIST SO MANY BULLETS THE LIKELIHOOD ITD CAUSE ANYTHING MORE THAN A BAD BRUISE IS LIKE ONE IN A HUNDRED
but it’s 65% more bullet per bullet
Wait a second are you telling me
that Portal is such a perfect goddamn game that they even have an explanation for why a video game protagonist can withstand being shot multiple times??????????
They also have an empathy generator immediately followed by an empathy suppressor I love portal
“Walter White would never” Walter White helped the cops catch his own criminal alter ego because they were about to blame his crimes on the wrong guy, and he couldn’t stomach the thought of someone else taking credit for all the terrible things he did. That’s the beauty of Walter White as a character, at least from the perspective of transformative fandom: he would. He’s such a ridiculous man that literally nothing is out of character for him, provided you can contrive some circumstance where doing so would serve his ego.
I want this in every library, everywhere. After all, some kids won’t even google this stuff because they don’t want parents/siblings checking their browser history.
This is really awesome. And if you’re not familiar with how the Dewey Decimal system works - the numbers subject-based, which means these numbers are applicable in EVERY library. So if you see something you want to research on this list - look for those same numbers in any of your local libraries.
i wish i could join discord servers and be talkative but alas every time i’m put in one i feel like a frightened captive animal being released into the wild for the first time and i instantly shove it in a folder never to be seen again outside of a random ping every few months
[image description: tweet saying “please know the difference between the flag of sudan and the flag of palestine” with images attached of both flags shown vertically.
sudan: from top to bottom (left to right if flag were horizontal), the flag has a green triangle pointing down, then three equal-width bands that are black, white, and red in that order from left to right
palestine: from top to bottom (left to right if flag were horizontal), the flag has a red triangle pointing down, then three equal-width bands that are green, white, and black in that order from left to right
the original tweet is quote tweeted by another that reads, “after you know the difference pray for both of them.” both tweets have the name of the person posted them blacked out.]
“do we think maybe a vegetable would cause less despair” still living in my head rent free
i will never post danganronpa on main again but i will die if i don’t bring up the fact that komaeda would not do this. he would have you eat nasty shit all day every day to force your indomitable hope to shine through from underneath the pressure of insurmountable gastrointestinal despair. if you die from food poisoning you’re just not true hope material and he will speak of you with disgust for the rest of his life
Arachnophobia: Pretty straight-forward, all random encounters with spiders are prevented, and the game won’t let you in one spider-heavy location. Weirdly it DOES let you into another spider-heavy location (probably an oversight), but that place is optional and literally called “The Department of Spiders”, so if you still go there I think that’s on you.
ALT
Arachnophilia: Every single combat has a spider added to the enemy side and a friendly spider added to your side.
ALT
Arachnophonia: Replaces every single sound effect in combat with one of the ones that spiders make in the game. It is VERY unpleasant!
liking mutuals’ posts about other fandoms youre not in is like 👍 i have no frame of reference of what you’re talking abt but i know you’re right and I hope you’re winning
[ID: Two images of shiny pokemon. On the left is Sylveon who is blue with pink accents. On the right is toucannon whose beak is blue, pink, and purple with yellow and blue accents. End ID]
yall better be just as outraged about this as you were about notre dame
This is even WORSE.
To elaborate why this is worse:
Art and religion are all well and good. But information can be critical. When libraries burn, information can be lost forever. Because we photograph art. We have blueprints of the Cathedral. The Notre Dame cathedral did not burn to the ground, only the wooden structures did.
The entire library and everything within is gone here.
Another reason this is worse? It was DELIBERATE. It was bombed. Accidents like Notre Dame happen all the time. But bombings don’t have to happen.
So yeah, if you cared about Notre Dame, logically you should care about this too,
stuck in the time loop but i just use it as a free day off. im not even trying to get out. i am teaching myself to knit. i am crocheting. i am cooking. not even doing anything crazy. just escaping capitalism for a week. day 375 and im not sure what lesson it’s trying to teach but i’ve taught myself to hand make lace so all is well
