it's kinda weird that when you look at health recommendations for various medical conditions associated with fatness it's always 'just lose 10% of your body weight to see a risk reduction' (so like 20-30 pounds for the average overweight or obese person according to the bmi) but then in day to day medicine there's not really a way of like, removing obesity as a diagnosis on your insurance paperwork for example, even if by a certain standard you've lost enough weight to reduce the risk of health conditions that insurance would be concerned about. if you're an average height weighing 300 pounds and lose 30 pounds, which seems to be the amount that's considered reasonable to lose and maintain if you want to like, reduce your cholesterol, you've gone from morbidly obese to morbidly obese.

hella fucking wild that covid is basically a permanent thing now that people are always gonna be dying from and i sincerely hope that every single republican politician who bent over backwards to avoid doing even one single thing to try to minimize the impact of this disease drops dead in an untimely fashion.

the more i read abt the whole sparkle debacle the more i wish to put my head thru the wall.
i mean this is not to say that using slurs is ok by any means and that hyv does have a history of racist depictions and whatnot.
but like atp there's bigger problems in the world than a fictional character saying bad words in a game and you don't need to make it into a mountain out of a mole hill. pač it's shitty to have included it and hyv should be scrutinized for it, but it's not a moral failing to like a character that is purposefully made to be evil.
but like i'm not rroma so who am i to speak on what is offensive to them and what isn't.

so I'm 98% sure I don't have hEDS but I definitely have some hypermobility thing going on. but it's not a problem at all except in my ankles, knees, and finger joints?? most of my joints are hypermobile but those are the only ones that hurt or swell consistently enough to be a concern. I did some research and I definitely have some instability in both my kneecaps, and I think I'm subluxing them somewhat regularly, but the symptoms I have when I push them back are so mild (just pain, swelling, and that feeling like the joint is full of cotton--no one I've ever talked to about it other than my arthritic fiancé got that last one) that I'm not really sure? but then sometimes they just give out and I can't put any weight on them for an hour or two and I'm just confused?

dark tower fan. stanning you rn o7
Dark tower fans PLEASE interact 😭 I’m not really a fandom person but something about this series tickles me so much and i have so much to say about it. There’s so much great stuff (genre blending epic fantasy with horror and American western elements!!!!) but also such a high percentage of stupid garbage that it makes me want to Fix It and that’s why I’m soooo excited for the mike flanagan show and currently relistening to all the audiobooks. Well actually I might skip Song of Susanna this time lmfao if you know you know
