This article was super long-winded so I screenshat the important part

the fact we’re responsible for getting doctors to “lower their defenses” in order to literally just do their jobs is ✨INFURIATING✨

This literally leaves me shaking in rage

I was diagnosed with hypermobile type Ehlers Danlos Syndrome after 25 years of pain and confusion, and it went like this:

Me: I think I have Ehlers Danlos. My symptoms fit exactly and it's been like this since childhood.
Doc: It's incredibly rare and difficult to diagnose, but there's a conference coming up where I can get some hands-on training to test you for that.
Me: Awesome. Can we schedule a diagnostic appointment, then?
Doc: Absolutely!

Then she went to the training, came back, ran some tests (bloodwork and flexibility), and put the official diagnosis in my chart. If your doctor isn't listening to you or making any kind of effort to treat your actual symptoms, FUCKING REPORT THEM.

That's malpractice. That's failure to uphold their Hippocratic oath. And it pressures them to listen to future patients.

Healthcare shouldn't be a battle. If your doc wants to make it a battle, hit hard and hit where it hurts: their credibility. Fuck, tell them you're gonna make sure none of your friends come to such a shitty office. Leave bad reviews on their website. Do whatever it takes to make the doctors know they need to fucking listen to you.

And always end every conversation with, "I will be checking my patient chart for your refusal to directly address my concerns or symptoms." Mentioning your chart should put the fear of god in them.

yeah so just in case this is needed, please do not kill yourself. you, reading this. please live. please take breaths in and out. please let your hair and nails continue growing. please let your heart continue to beat like a radio station set only to you. please take yourself out of the sliver of time this moment is. the pain will become a memory. your survival is a tool, a weapon, a superpower. amends can be made and wounds can be healed and entire worlds can be rebuilt while you are alive.

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

this post was up for like five minutes and already im being told how wrong i am

fuck you, you can kiss my 30 year old ass

It is a mark of pride to survive for 30+ years in a world that would eat you alive if you let it, and anyone that thinks differently has some soul-searching to do. Congratulations on your persistent existence.

yesterday I got the “are you a boy or are you a girl” question from a six-year-old, and I told her that some people aren’t boys or girls (like me!) I was expecting her to be a little confused, but she nodded thoughtfully and said, “wow, just like snails.”

This is uncomfortably accurate

i feel so called out rn

We are witnessing the grotesque reality of the martyred Palestinians and thousands of their massacred children being written off as mere afterthoughts. The way western media outlets steadfastly refuse to call the Israeli aggression and onslaught for what it is, which is genocide and ethnic cleansing, is just another way of dehumanizing Palestinians.
