it’s okay to do things that make your symptoms worse (as long as you’ll stay safe)
every once in a while you need to eat something yummy. or go on a walk. or a trip to the zoo. take a hot shower. cry your eyes out. dance. listen to music. draw for way to long. write. laugh. sit in a cafe with a friend. paint your nails. dye your hair. go on a run. pet a cat
sometimes you need to do things that are cathartic or make yourself feel alive. sometimes you need the reminder of why you’re fighting so hard to stay alive
this is your reminder that just because it makes your symptoms worse, it isn’t always the wrong thing to do. there can be value in these actions

July is Disability Pride Month
Let’s celebrate by keeping disabled people ALIVE and SAFE.
Want to know how you can help?
WEAR A MASK. 
(FFP2/3 or N95 give best protection, especially the ones that fasten behind your head)

Happy disability pride month everybody!! ❤️💛🤍💙💚
To those who might not know Jere has been very vocal about his experience with IBD more specifically ulcerative colitis that resulted in him getting a lifesaving surgery at 19 leaving him with his two surgical scars on his stomach. Here's a few links to articles if you want to know more (x) (x). I'd also like to link the podcast interview where I first learned about his experience (starts at 11.10) since it touched me hearing him open up about for it for what sounded like the first time after he himself brought it up in such an authentic manner.
Since learning about his disability around april-may I have felt an even stronger connection to him. Although I do not have IBD myself, I just find his honestly, vulnerability and authenticity so inspiring that I could not help not to love him and and so the real brainrot began
For this reason drawing him for disability pride has been on my mind almost as long so I hope you enjoy the outcome - stay strong everybody and you are amazing just as you are, with or without disabilities
With regards, your fellow autistic Kääryle (Käärijä fan) 💚

Ghoul Head-canon.
Dew has IBD. It’s fine, he can usually eat pretty much anything as he manages it through medication but he keeps his diet a bit blander to the other ghouls.
Mountain and Swiss being the den chefs will do group meals that they know won’t upset Dew’s tummy or Swiss will make Dew a less spicier dish or Mountain will make a separate sauce that’s not as rich as the others.
Sometimes he’ll have flares up that range from mild discomfort, his belly gets lil bulge (Rain and Mountain thinks it’s cute, Dew does not.):
Dew: It’s not cute! It’s name is Balthazar and he spit’s fire into my stomach.
Other times it’s a bad one and the medications aren’t enough to tackle it so it’s a stay in the infirmary to start an infusion. But Dew hates sitting still and it’s alllll day and he’s a busy ghoul:
Omega: No.
Dew: Pleeeeease ‘Meg! I’m so bored!
Omega: I said no Dew. The last time you and Swiss were in here during an infusion, you upset my other patients and you nearly ripped your cannula out!
Dew:…
Omega: Plus! I’m still finding post-it notes even when I think I got them all! How did you even get one in my computer monitor…
So he ultimately gets given the weekly injection that’ll help him stay in remission. He’s not a fan of it but better that then having to sit still for a few hours. Rain does it for him and gives his lil tum a kiss after for being so brave.
Rain: *kisses Dews tummy.*
Rain: There, you’re such a brave boy.
Dew: *quietly to himself.* yeah I am.

Bitches really know they can’t eat something, eat it anyway, then get surprised when they get sick. It’s me, I’m bitches.

It's so funny when you're chronically ill and ppl tell you to "get well soon" and you're just like... Thanks, I won't.

i wish talk of the gut-brain connection was more. "we know you are higher risk for GI illness because of your neurodivergence, so let's keep an eye on your gut health and respond quickly to symptoms" and "your GI illness puts you at risk for neurological/psychiatric symptoms, so we need to make sure that your mental health is a priority and help you adapt your environment to prioritize your overall wellbeing"
rather than "your mental illness/autism would be cured if you'd just eat healthy" when you can't keep down or absorb any of the "healthy" foods they're recommending or "just reduce stress" and refuse to do any testing

Disability Pride shout out to everyone whose disability...
gets in the way of their sex life
gets in the way of expressing and/or understanding their sexuality
gets in the way of their romantic life
gets in the way of intimate relationships
gets in the way of exploring any/all of the above

Can you talk about inclusion body disease in snakes? I've heard of it here and there and tried looking into it but would really appreciate an experts info dump on it.
I have a nice big post on it here!

Do not shame physically disabled or neurodivergent or mentally ill or mentally disabled or chronically ill people for not going out during New Years.
Some of us cannot even if we wish to.
Don't take it as an insult. Do not insult us about it either.
This is just how things are.
