“oubliette” is such a fancy word for such an unbelievably simple thing. captain of the guard says “take their ass to the oubliette” and you think oh boy they must have some really high end perhaps grotesque punishment prepared for me and then they just throw you into a hole in the ground

you could sue her for violation of HIPAA because she shared your PRIVATE MEDICAL RECORDS without your permission

also I can’t stress this enough, please try to find a different neurologist. She shouldn’t be banning you from getting mobility aides. You’re obviously not gonna get “cured” from struggling. I wish you all the best, and just know that that neurologist is a bitch who doesn’t know what she’s talking about

FNDs a real motherfucker. My body went paralysed today so I had to drag myself across the dirty floor to get to my bed. Sometimes my parents will have to lift me into one of those office chairs with wheels so I can be moved. All because my fucking neurologist keeps refusing to treat me and instead sharing my medical records with her colleagues without my permission. Even though she’s never talked to me about my mental health she also wants to undiagnosed me with adhd and ocd. She also (double also) diagnosed me with functional tics however when asked she didn’t know what a functional tic is. Apparently you can diagnose people with things even if you don’t know what they are as long as you make as much money as she does

She has “forbidden” me from getting any other mobility aids and said it’s good for me to struggle a bit. So guess I’ll just keep dragging Myself across the dirty floor so I can get food and water. Thanks Doctor!

Dear teen girls,

Stop abusing your boyfriends and yes what you are doing is abuse.

Stop:

Yelling at him in front of his friends 

Hitting or slapping him when he does or says something you don’t like

Telling him he doesn’t have a choice when it comes to decisions that involve both of you 

Telling him he can’t hang out with friends because you don’t like him

Telling him to not talk to other girls even if they are his friend

Forcing him to spend every moment with you 

Belittling him and pointing out all his flaws

Calling him stupid or making fun of him for making a mistake

Threatening to break up with him if he doesn’t do what you want

Being emotionally manipulative and crying until he does what you want

Accusing him of cheating every time he’s not with you

Blow up is phone if he doesn’t text you every five minutes 

Telling him you are the must thing that has ever happened to him and no one else will love

Physically attacking him when ever you are mad

Forcing him to have sex despite that fact that he said he didn’t want to

Invading his privacy by going through his phone

Getting mad at him for changing his password and demanding he tell you what it is

If a guy did any of these things to a girl it would be considered abuse but since its the other way around its considered normal. Throughout High school I saw many girl treating their boyfriends like shit. Sometime even physically abusing them in the hallways and no one trying to stop it because its a girl attacking a boy. 

Boys: If your girlfriend does anything on this list leave her. It is abuse and you deserve better.

Girls: if you find your self doing anything on this list to your boyfriend you need to knock it off because you are being abusive.

1997 baby!!

Your phone battery percentage determines what year of the 1900s you'll live in.

How screwed are you?

I headcanon that Percy’s make him dehydrated

franks cause mild animal allergies to flare up a bit

Leo gets really cold easily

I’m sure I’ll come up with others

why do we never really see demigods having consequences? like...nico is the only one we see with physical effects from his powers everyone else just gets kinda tired? i dont know about yall but godly powers in a human body probably does more than just make you more than just sleepy we never see any real permeant effects from them using there powers to much when there probably should be

them having the added layer of facing discrimination in the lost cities

Love how this showed up on my dash as I’m sitting in my bridesmaids dress in the chapel for my sisters wedding

Adorable 😭

I know for a fact my cat thinks he’s a person

i wonder if any animals are human Therian

my mum just called "scrolling on Tumblr" "scrumbling"

hard lesson to learn but it has been important for college: ask professors for extensions BEFORE you desperately need it, rest BEFORE you're exhausted, skip class BEFORE you're too exhausted to go to class, cancel obligations as soon as the vibes are off, etc

there's been five times so far where I was like "Should I ask for this extension/go home early/skip this class?" and each time I've been incredibly thankful I did it and I felt better afterwards.

Surprise your uncommonly named child with a handmade souvenir name thingy that you say you got them from said store/place

Torn between wanting to give children a unique name so they don’t get mistaken for the one thousand other Michaels in their class and giving them a name that will never show up on those souvenir thingys and giving them that disappointment forever

POTS and hEDS girly here!

electrolyte tablets or packets to put in your water are essential

if you can, try to get Celtic sea salt- an ER nurse recommended it to me when I went in for a POTS flare because it also has other good minerals in it

obligatory drink more water!! I use flavored electrolyte mix to help me actually drink the water (it’s called Mio, and comes in multiple flavors with different uses/purposes, some are caffeinated, others aren’t, some are just for flavor)

find ways to sit/rest throughout the day, whether it be finding ways to make your route around school shorter or sitting at a closer table/desk so you don’t have to walk as far

if you get really dizzy, GET CLOSE TO THE GROUND. if you faint while closer to the ground, you are less likely to injure yourself

you might want to bring up your concerns to you primary care doctor the next time you see them. Just be aware that if you menstruate they’ll probably dismiss it as anemia due to your period

as for the compression socks, they work best if they’re longer, like calf length, but I have ankle length ones that are nice as well

talk to your school nurse or counselor to tell them about your concerns- if 504s are a thing where you live, ask about getting one

Sorry this was so long, but I hope it helps!!

Potsies help I need advice

I'm not diagnosed but I very likely have POTS and I'm in a flare. I have no accommodations or anything since my parents don't really believe me.

I have to bike 30mins to my school, and we have mandatory exercise 3 times a week. How the hell am I gonna survive this?

I have sports socks that are kind of compressing, and I can take salt to school. Is there anything else I can do that might help?

Thank you so much.

pros: you won’t want to kill yourself

hEDS isn't rare, but it is extremely underdiagnosed due to the medical misconception that it is rare. This means that people with hEDS have a lot in common with people with rare disorders:

- long average time between symptom onset and diagnosis

- medical gaslighting

- "look for horses, not zebras" (a phrase that is not solely connected to the EDS community)

- difficulty finding doctors or specialists who have experience with the disorder

- lack of treatment options

- lack of public awareness about the disorder

This particular situation also means there is one thing we do not have in common with people with rare disorders:

- a lack of discussion about our disorder in online disability spaces

There are a lot of us. Plenty of people have said that people with hEDS flood the disability tags and talk over others/have a problem with assuming that online disability discussions are about hEDS when they aren't. When people get mad about "hEDS not being rare", they're not saying people with hEDS don't experience that first list. Having a common disorder (that is sometimes mild, but certainly not always) also doesn't mean that your disability is any less real, the ableism you experience doesn't count, the activities you're no longer able to do didn't matter, or that your daily pain is any less painful.

But we need to remember that as many struggles as we share with those with rare disorders, the number of benefits we have that they do not is almost as long. It's not hard to find information on comorbidities, tips and tricks on how to get through the day, even the simple comfort of understanding from others going through the same thing. Not everyone has that, and if we aren't considerate of those whose disorders truly are rare, we make it harder for them to access what they do have. That's all.

ok now I have new art inspo- coming up with new Elvin dishes and drawing them!!

Writing kotlc fic is all fun and games until the characters want to go out for food and you realize you know nothing about Elvin food that isn’t just deserts or drinks. What do they eat. I can’t call it the weird descriptions Sophie uses in the book. Help.

I think your anon might not know how to block tags correctly

remember that anon that said they had the keefe tag blocked but still saw that you were constantly posting about Keefe? that's what the people who'll block your ship tag will see too. it still clogs up the tag whether you block the other tags or not, and it's discourteous to other fandom members who care about the characters themselves instead of this weird drama. please dog leave maintag out of this🙏

posting this with no comment because i want this out before the poll runs out. but hello normal kotlc people please tell me what you think. i'm actually caught.
