Listening to a podcast interview with a cult/high control group specialist lawyer and hoping for the day my past abuser(s) are held accountable ☕️

I will never forget my first C on an English assignment my junior year of HS. (AP/IB course) Or when the prof of an "easy A" class gave me a B on the final because he "expected more from me," or the B I got in college Health class bc I wasn't available to volunteer at a Fub Run for extra credit.

The truth is, I was holding myself to a higher standard than any professor ever would. And because of that, my teachers in HS and college expected higher level writing out of me, even when the standards for an assignment were simply not that serious.

I remember getting to college and being VERY distraught when I realized people who wrote like this could still pass classes. My high school went hard on writing essays and I could never have turned this in, let alone in college.

All that to say, if you need recommendations or have questions re: the surgery, let me know!

I just had a hysterectomy for endometriosis. They thought I could have adenomyosis, turns out my uterus was covered in fibroids and had a tiny tumor inside. It was also, at time of extraction, preparing to bleed like a normal cycle, despite 8 years of continious hormonal suppression. 😬

Yes, in the sense that "unhealthy/disabled people are too expensive to live" is a common sentiment. 🫠

One year mid-2010s, my dad found a bottle of scotch in the liquor cabinet that had been in the house since 1995ish. Grandpa insisted on having some with Thanksgiving dinner. It is perhaps the most giggly & lighthearted that I'd ever seen him 😂

My knee started to hurt and my first thought was "ah, looks like rain?" Checked the forecast for tomorrow and yup, my bones continue to reflect the weather. #DisabilitySky

I'm just a girl, asking for even one day where I don't have to think about/prepare for the next thing.

The other day I saw a minivan with a bumper sticker saying "real women drive trucks" and I was like...that's not a truck, do they just have strong feelings about what other people should drive?

Most humans have one leg that is longer than the other. Maybe that also applies to feet?

It's "get overwhelmed by advent calendar options & then never buy one" season!

You're never gonna believe this, but we're out of archaeologists again.

We have matched ~650 groups with archaeologists this semester! I am so grateful to the 196 Archaeologist volunteers!

We have 60 unmatched groups rn

An orange, black, and white guinea pig sits in a round plush bed, facing the door of her enclosure, peering out of the vertical white wire bars with anticipation. The corners of her mouth and glint in her eye make it look like she is grinning.

Buttercup has turned their most popular bed to face the humans so she can beg for snackies in comfort

Freedom to F*** Off by Petey USA is SO good for this, btw.

This is incredible! 🤯

That's a very poignant way to put it!

I remember thinking every time that when it was done, I would never let myself get that stressed again. But I did, every year 😂

I'm getting that "on the precipice of sick" feeling I would always get before finals time as a student and I gotta say, still not a fan.

Not gonna re-post the ableist meme, but I will remind y'all we can point out Trump is unfit for presidency without being ableist about it! 😬

Pelvic floor tension and/or weakness! And the pelvic floor is connected to so many other things, and pressure on even one nerve or muscle can drastically affect urinary urgency.

My new quest in life lately is to get my boyfriend out of the habit of hiding in baggy clothes bc he deserves to feel good. I feel like Tan France over here.

As an Excessive Daytime Sleepiness patient, I'm having an existential crisis re: eco-anxiety over the coffee & cocoa crops.

No, I don't work in agriculture or science or any of the fields that could actually assist, but I feel responsible for this anyway.

Any time I try digital art, I just get mad at it because it doesn't respond to my hand & motion like non-digital art 😂

I am the "three degrees in humanities, 1000+ crafty hobbies, can give a qualitative research presentation in 8 mins, color coding everything" neurodivergent.

My boyfriend is the "family group chat about physics, spreadsheets for videogames, 8 turns ahead of you in board games" neurodivergent.

I nominate sea slugs!

I do not understand if/how my content gets to the people that follow me on here. My theory is most of those people aren't real, or my posts have gotten much less interesting, but 🤷

Love waking up mad at myself for no reason at all ✌🏻 That's when I know I need my meds. 💊
