You know something that until you have a dietary restriction where you can’t eat a very common and specific ingredient that you don’t think about?

Spices.

I have to do a full background check and forensic analysis to find spices that are celiac safe, meaning: not processed near wheat or barley. Wheat and wheat protein are often used as anti-caking agents, which also makes things like shredded cheese a risk, but SPICES. The very cheap store-brand spices all come with a “may contain traces of wheat, nuts, and soy” warning. I don’t take risks on that warning if I don’t absolutely have to. The name-brand spices that are two to three times more expensive don’t come with a gluten free label, and googling the companies will often throw up a “the PRODUCT is gluten free, but the FACILITY isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility so we can’t guarantee it’s totally safe” warning that drives me up the wall.

This happens with all kinds of things—grits, nuts, lunch meat, baking chips, candy, GRITS AGAIN BC IT IRKS ME HOW A NATURALLY GLUTEN FREE FOOD IS SO OFTEN PROCESSED ALONGSIDE WHEAT THAT I HAVE TO LOOK UP SPECIALTY BRANDS THAT COST A WHOLE ARM AND A LEG TO SHIP—but today’s particular irk is about spices. Specifically paprika.

#quilly’s gluten free life #and for the next week and a half #quilly’s low FODMAP life #I love food and eating and hate being hungry too much for this kind of struggle today #or any day but today was grocery shopping day #I have deep deep resentment about the loss of meal convenience celiac disease and IBS come with #but I’m still new at all this #two year diagnosis anniversary this year #it has been an effin lot

#kite rambles #coming up on the anniversary of the Bad Time™️ and feeling in general better but a bit hmmmm #nostalgic? idk I've been missing some aspects of teaching #and then hear from mom that sis is in the hospital again #idk how clear i was last year but one aspect of the Bad Time™️ was a surprise leukemia diagnosis for her #the acute kind where we were legitimately afraid she was going to die #and now almost exactly a year later she's back in the hospital #and I'm still the jackass that has still forgotten to call her for her summer birthday 😐 #anyway i would appreciate it if this winter did not try to compete with last winter thanks

[shizdrone]

realised that as all of my irl friends fear me in tabletop games. even after all of this time, i am still successfully following in shizune's footsteps. next comes getting them into risk. australia will be mine

#blue flavoured ramblings #yeah let's go with that tag name for irl shit #i'd tag shizune's source material but it's all in all an awkward scenario. game still holds a special place for me but it seems people who #still hold onto it tend to be a bit... dodgy. it hasn't even aged that badly despite everything being stacked against it! #the worst it has is that kenji no longer reads as an extreme parody of a certain type of person #and is now just an actually accurate portrayal #which if you view this from a modern lens instantly turns him from a funny comic relief #into an actually creepy and dangerous character. unfortunate! #you'd think the meat and potatoes of the game would be what aged the worst given the game's subject matter and origins but #somehow that's aged really damn well. i haven't revisited it in ages but i did read some retrospectives from relevant professionals around #the 10 year anniversary and there was a lot of serious praise thrown. not perfect by any means with a decent amount of pretty important #slipups but WAY ahead of its time. #(shizune is arguably one of those slipups unfortunately) #sucks because it's a big part of what got me into a lot of my current interests (pre-diagnosis) but it's also dodgy as fuck to say #it was your starting point. hopefully the other work i've done would make it clear i'm a Trustworthy Human Being should anybody dig shit up #anyway #weird to think shizune still holds a place of personal importance to me but it makes sense #character who is unquestionably a bad person but is doing their very best to be a good person in spite of it? #character who struggles with communication and simultaneously sees all the hurt they bring while being just as blind to it? #character who wants to lift others up but can only do so indirectly because direct action merely pushes people down? #YUM YUM EATING IT UP #IT'S A TWISTED MIRROR REFLECTION STARING BACK AT ME BUT YUM YUM #at one point i was heavily into the headcanon that she could have a diagnosis like me because so many of her flaws resonated with me in a #deeply personal way. since let go of that because there are meaningful differences and while shizune's story is a familiar one of #being alone in a room full of people it is a much more deaf-specific one that doesn't match with me perfectly and the same goes for their #personality. she still helped lay down the seeds for me to understand myself given i got into it around a year before i got my diagnosis #so i think no matter what i'm stuck with her in my memory now. the least popular character in a super awkward game to like for my interests #awesome!!!!!! #raindrops and puddles #that's the tag name i'm using for this game btw

i want you all to understand this.

insulin pens are very often used by diabetic children (or their parents, but they were very easy to use during the short time i was prescribed them when i was a child myself). they’re less cumbersome, produce less waste, and are far easier than pulling insulin from a vial with a single use syringe, as syringes are much more susceptible to air bubbles, which result in the diabetic not getting enough medication. i’m explaining this part because i know that some diabetic adults do also use them, and i’m sure that that’s true of diabetic adults in palestine with such scarce resources. when it’s life or death, you can’t really be picky.

the israeli occupation is now banning insulin pens from entering gaza.

lack of insulin results in diabetic ketoacidosis — essentially a very, very dangerous version of the effects of the keto diet. insulin is a key for the sugar from one’s food (both slow and fast acting, since all food has some carbohydrates, from nuts to potatoes to table sugar) to get from their bloodstream into their cells. without insulin, the body resorts to eating through its own fat stores rather than the sugar it cannot access and tries to flush the excess glucose that is in the blood through the urine. this results in weight loss, headaches, nausea, dehydration, blurred vision, abdominal pain, impaired mental faculties, and, if left untreated, will result in a coma, and eventually death within a matter of weeks. not “can.” it will kill you if not treated, and was largely considered a lethal diagnosis until insulin was discovered in the early 1900s and made readily available in 1922.

i’ve been in dka. admittedly, i was very young and have blocked much of it out. but i do remember that it fucking sucked. i couldn’t focus on anything, i was ravenous no matter how much i ate, and the room spinning to the point i felt like i was going to throw up became an increasingly regular occurrence. i was seven years old and wasting away like i was starved. i was dying. a few more days, and i likely would’ve gone into a coma and might not be here now.

to inflict that, willingly and knowingly, on innocent people, is nothing short of a crime against humanity, and violates the geneva conventions (item 2.a.ii. torture or inhumane treatment, including biological experiments and item 2.a.iii. willfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health). not that the israeli occupation cares, of course, as south african prosecutors have already extensively detailed their crimes in the icj, and this one in particular has already been committed near-countless times.

this entire occupation is a genocide, and this is only one more nail in that coffin. but, as a diabetic — as a human being who has been in that state and was lucky enough to have the resources to live almost another fifteen years (with the anniversary of my own diagnosis about halfway through next month), i can’t find the words to express my disgust and rage anymore. maybe it’s selfish to be so deeply impacted by this particular blow. i don’t know. but these people have done nothing wrong but be disabled in gaza, and as someone with the same disability, i know that no one deserves this, even if they have committed a crime (which, again, these civilians, largely children, have not). i will not fucking stand for it.

we need a ceasefire. we need an end to the occupation. we need a free palestine. now.

here’s a masterpost of how you can help.

EDIT: here’s a post on how to help diabetics in gaza specifically

Objective #9 is done and my new pump is up and running! I also finally downloaded the app that pairs with the pump, too.
