Sometimes I see OBGYNs advocating for abortion rights and reform within the medical system to provide better care to afab people. And then someone in the comments is complaining that the doctor used the term “pregnant individual” or “patient” instead of “women”.

Cis women are often not given the same level of medical resources and information as cis men by medical practitioners. Medical reform in this area is absolutely necessary. How can you see this and be upset that people dare to include afab trans people in activism.

#imagine being upset that someone used the term individual while literally advocating for reforms that benefit cis women. I’m losing my mind #it’s a mix of both trans androphobia and trans misogyny. inclusive language in afab medical care is used to include trans masculine people #note: I’m cis so I’m sorry if this gets something wrong on the trans rights side. #on a similar note - there needs to be medical reform to better resources for black patients and black women are affected by both #unded rambles #transphobia #lgbtq #feminism #intersectional feminism

went outside and exercised normally for the first time since The Incident and i felt fine outside of the expected Hasn't Exercised in several months feelings. against doctor's orders btw but i would rather be dead than forced to spend all my time at home not doing a single thing that could exert me in any way <3

#:) #like it's so funny that they mandated i cannot drive leave the country vigorously exercise or eat snack food maybe ever again for no reason #fully my medical notes read like i'm in the managed decline phase of a terrible chronic illness even though i'm literally chilling #i feel no worse than how i normally do a couple weeks after a rough covid infection like babygirl i have no debilitating symptoms....... #PLUS my kidneys are slowly unfucking themselves anyway like. do i really need this much independence taken away for my own protection...... #longterm housebound for a short term Silly Incident??? please be serious for more than two seconds #cranky about this because it's been a month and there's still no diagnosis but they have the room to tell me what i can't do #my appointment a couple days ago was supposed to clear me to do certain things again but they denied it and i've been sulking for days #literally the only thing wrong with me is that my blood tests are saying bad things and some really annoying side effects of my meds #and i can guarantee that me resting and doing nothing is not the reason i'm not in pain or otherwise suffering in any measurable way #even when i was actively in a state of dying in hospital i wasn't in pain like get with it!!! #sometimes if i think about this too hard i end up feeling like a caged animal lmao

Do u ever have those days where u like. Look back at ur life and ur just like. U know im really happy with my character growth arc

#im that but like???? most days now???? #its really really wild what getting on the right medication can do #at least im like 90% sure this is my new med. my baseline is like...... sooooo much happier than it was before #ive only been on it for like... a month? so who knows what this looks like for me long term. but at least for now #wow #bel speaks #i could get really sappy in these notes but im not gonna lol #all i will say is that like. as someone who was super paranoid about being judged for their interests/nerdiness #it is so exhilarating to like. go to work and gush about my 4000 piece batman lego set. and everyone i told was like holy shit thats so cool #and none of these people really care about batman or legos. but i do! #and people think happiness and enthusiasm is exciting. and thell get excited with/for u #and like. holds little me's face in my hands. stop being afraid of people seeing ur excitement #me: im not gonna be sappy in the tags #me immediately after: gets sappy about legos #anyways #buy a cool lego set its good for u #and also find some meds to fix ur brain. really really good combo

Have you changed any terms of vocab the clans use? Ik you mentioned changing twolegs to just humans but do you plan to change anyrhing else?

I don't like most of the canonical insults, they feel like they have no bite. "Dung" is just not a word capable of sounding harsh, it's too soft, unlike shit or crap.

I actually like coming up with insults so I probably won't use mouse/fox/whatever-dung.

Shineless = unholy, unwanted, no sense of style or decency

Foxdrop = ragged, useless, ruined, like it was chewed by a fox

Hogwash = unironically i think this is a funny word. Absurdity; you can not groom a 300 pound dangerous boar

And additionally, I don't want to change the names of ranks or groups just for the sake of not confusing anyone... but I hate the term Medicine Cat. I don't like the way they have this uncomfortably racial term in the middle of the series.

It doesn't even fit; they aren't medicine men, these cats are coded like nuns. Christian. I keep wanting to call them Clerics instead.

#But it would be a term change and I try to avoid that #Bone babble #You will also note that I used the term MEDIC for tribe healers #Soothsayer would have worked well for them though

Saw your tags on that poll about wearing glasses being a disability and I’m curious about what you dislike about the social model of disability? 100% good faith question here, I don’t know that much about it and just wanna learn more. (Totally don’t feel like you have to answer if you don’t wanna)

okay so i am by no means an expert on this.

but basically what the social model of disability says is that the origin of disability is social/cultural attitudes to people with different abilities, rather than the more commonly accepted medical model, which states that the origin of disability is due to a medical issue within an individual

essentially, what impacts a disabled persons ability to move through the world unrestricted is not their own body's limitations, but the lack of accessible infrastructure as well as societal prejudice

and i do think there is some truth to this, and that's partially why i brought up the social model w regards to glasses. in places like the us where glasses are fairly easy to get and there's minimal infrastructure that is not glasses-friendly, the average person who needs glasses is not impacted very severely by the fact that they need glasses. obviously there are non-average people who have extremely poor vision, or other problems with their eyes beyond needing glasses, or a million other examples, which is why i said it was context dependent

i mean my main issue with the social model is like. the world around me could be the most accessible place ever with zero prejudice against disabled people. and i would still be in pain every day for the rest of my life. and so would millions of people. by claiming disability is pretty much exclusively the result of societal barriers, it feels like its almost downplaying the issues? idk thats not the best way to phrase it. um. like taking a real undeniable problem someone has and saying most of the impact on that person's life is actually the result of systemic issues, not their own body.

i hope this made sense and i also want to be clear that i dont hate the social model, i think it can be useful, i just dont think its the correct way to conceptualize all disability.

#i mean obviously do your own research come to your own conclusions #and also worth noting that the social model distinguishes between impairments (limitations of the individual) #and disability (restrictions as a result of society) #but like idk how different those terms really are and w how disability as a term is most commonly used #its functionally the same as impairment #i dont hate it as whole or anything i think its interesting but i prefer the medical model or a mix of both

sincerely and genuinely you guys are just Saying Stuff 😭😭

#yall learned the term social construct and havent shut the hell up since 🤣😭 #'that doesnt sound very punk to me!' eat my entire heavily medicated stoner ass dude #clearly you don't care but if you had bothered to do as little as read the wikipedia entry for the straight edge subculture #you would know that hardcore straight edge historically DOES actually disallow caffeine and medication. #and also casual sex and consumption of animal products. #straight edge is a reactionary subculture in the punk scene. it's a response to the hedonism that characterizes a lot of punk scenes. #i have issues with straight edge ideology too! #but you clearly are not actually familiar with that ideology and you're just reacting to like. patty walters on twitter or something #also while you didn't actually criticize straight edge ideology here you DID succeed in undermining people who choose to be sober #so that's cool of you. i bet people feel real safe with you at parties #this post has over 200 notes btw 😭

the mental gymnastics the Canadian govt is doing to try and justify expanding MAiD to mental illness— in the face of an ongoing mental healthcare crisis no less— is so ridiculous it’s almost funny. pretty much they have realized that “assisted suicide for depression” is not something they can put a good spin on and are now trying to redefine ‘suicide’ in a way that excludes what they define as MAiD.

there is official testimony from a psychiatrist submitted to the House of Commons saying that 50% of suicides are people who are not mentally ill (because they have no diagnosis), which indicates that suicide is not a result of mental illness

also submitted is the argument that denying people MAiD for depression ‘implies mental and physical illnesses are not the same’ and ‘implies mentally ill people are incompetent’

there is a senator saying with his whole chest on Twitter that MAiD is unrelated to suicide because it happens in a nice room, family are invited, and it does not leave a violent scene

the CONSTANT repeating that suicide is an impulsive act while MAiD has a 90 day waiting period (suicide is so rarely impulsive that ‘do you have a plan & how detailed is it’ is a central q in every suicide assessment)

like as someone who would now have qualified with flying colours for MAiD when I was suicidal and trapped on a months-long wait list in high school, the level of gaslighting and goalpost-moving happening here is fucking surreal to me.

#note that I do not agree with the term ‘medical assistance in dying’ when one Is Not Dying #id take ‘medically induced dying’ if they really don’t want to say suicide #but that’s the term the govt is obsessed with so. #rhi talks #oh canada #misc #sj #this is fine to rb if you want #Suicide /

╰          demigirl  ,  she/they          ☆          𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄  𝐔𝐏𝐎𝐍  𝐀  𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄  …      we’re  introduced  to  JEMIMA  STERN  ,  the TWENTY  FOUR  year  old  COLLEGE  STUDENT,  ACTOR,  AND  WAITRESS  at  ZIPPITY  DOO  DINER  from  enchanted  falls  who  bears  a  striking  resemblance  to  DIANA  SILVERS.  the  whispers  in  the  wind  tells  us  of  their  SELF-ASSURED  and IRRESPONSIBLE  reputation,  that’s  why  the  townsfolk  often  are  reminded  of  the  snowy  wings  of  a  beautiful  bird  of  prey;  scattered  pages  of  books,  plays,  music  riddled  with  annotations;  looking  the  room  at  an  audition  and  seeing  at  once  the  lost  childhood  she  clings  to  and  the  deadly  competition  in  her  eyes.they  are  often  haunted  by  dreams  of  a  life  lived  as  SARAH  WILLIAMS  (  LABYRINTH  )  .

i. jemima was raised by an absent single father who has since passed away. she has no memories of her mother, but she and her father kept a scrapbook of playbills and newspaper clippings from over the years. according to her cursed memories, her mother had an identity crisis shortly after jemima was born and left the town to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. because jemima believes her mother somehow managed to escape from enchanted falls, she believes she can as well. also important to note that she's an only child here, no toby!

ii. jemima is likely one of the most well-known people in town, if only because of how front and center she always insists on being. she's also held about two dozen different jobs at one point or another, in addition to frequenting almost every local business for one thing or another -- supplies like props and wardrobe for the theatre, thrifting furniture and home decor for her shithole apartment, trying to find the best places to eat. she has a bit of a rachel berry complex: she can be annoying as hell about her talent and ambition, but her confidence is well deserved.

iii. jemima was diagnosed with clinical depression and adhd in elementary school, then general anxiety && panic disorder with pmdd in middle school, and finally ocd and pots in high school. it wasn't until after her twenty first birthday someone actually discovered the cause: asperger's syndrome. paired with a childhood riddled with neglect and emotional manipulation, she didn't learn her central nervous system was irreparably damaged until she'd already learned how to be an adult once. her pots and sensory issues sometimes make it difficult to perform, but it's the one thing she's so dedicated to that she can justify the inevitable burnout.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

#cw: suicidal ideation #cw: suicide #cw: self harm #cw: mental health #cw: depression #i made the balloon the main representation of my self destructive urges for a reason but im not going to explain it #i tried to keep a lot of the details in this vague #it would be my worst nightmare if this comic encouraged someone to hurt themselves #so. please dont #for a long time even the thought of making this comic felt so insipid and narcissistic #with the state of the world as it is #having the only threat to your life be yourself felt so privileged and trite and shameful #but doing this comic made me sit down and process things in full #and im just. very grateful i didn't give in to my thoughts back when i sincerely felt i'd be more useful to the world dead #i also feel the need to say that this wont represent everyone's battle with mental illness. its unfortunately different for all of us #there is no fix-all #and im afraid this might be one of those comics that either resonates a lot or misses the target by a mile #i made it for myself foremost. and now that its done im glad i did it #thank you for reading #and please stay alive #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

#tag talk #just realized the intense depression and associated anger issues and intrusive violent thoughts are prolly related to the Lamictal I starte #I was like “I don't think I need this don't think it'll help but I'll try it for science” because I'll try anything once #and uhhh. I went to go to bed and realized there was a bowl with food tucked into my bed covers. #laundry all over is one thing. that's kind of normal. but food in my bed is massive warning bells so I was like uh oh that's real depressio #so anyway i messaged my dr like hey I think these meds are making me feel so fucking lethargic and despondent and also I want to kill peopl #because I would just stop taking them but I'm willing to see what she thinks. #also my current psychiatrist is really great and I like her a lot idk if I already talked about her but she's really cool. #the first one I got was an absolute dick and was passive aggressive towards me and also straight up lied in her notes about me? #said that I had said I'm not sexually active and like. bitch where did I ever say that ever that's literally untrue and you wrote it down. #like. I don't think medical professionals are supposed to lie about you actually that's kind of a big problem #also she was like “I'm not seeing adhd here at all” and wanted to do a full on adhd diagnosis before trying any meds for it #whereas my new person was just like “oh you don't have to talk about being adhd it's pretty obvious to me” and I was like kissing you kissi #ng you kissing you kissing you kissing y #but yeah. I don't think I want to keep taking these meds and I think I'm just gonna take the meds I have to today not the short term ones #some days I just don't need my adhd meds or I would rather feel my normal relatively unproductive self. #still gonna take the ssri and estrogen obvs cause those need to keep up levels in my body and also duh I wanna keep my E levels up #but the others nah my body is super sensitive to meds (or any substances tbh) so I need a break from them today I feel really unbalanced #I did have my gf deadass ask me “should I be worried?” when I mentioned the violent intrusive thoughts and I was like no no no no it's fine #because like. I've never genuinely hurt someone fully impulsively like that. it's all thoughts it's all in the head #I'm not gonna kidnap and murder and dissect anyone it's just theoretical situations my brain likes to fuck me up with. #but it does kinda suck to have people around you inherently mistrust you because of how your brain works. #my brother told me a while back that he locks his door at night because he's worried about me and you do know how fucking hurtful that is? #the person you trust enough to move out and move in with is afraid of you enough to lock their door at night. #not like that would stop me if I genuinely did try to hurt him obviously. interior door locks are a joke. #but like... that someone would hear you talk about intrusive thoughts and genuinely think you capable of them to some extent. #idk that hurts a lot. #I wish I weren't like this.

#she helped me study last night by reading my textbook out loud to me bc i couldn’t focus #so many big medical terms i need to learn and I was already so anxious about starting school again and all the shit i have to do #but she made studying really fun actually #she also had me write out better notes bc i wanted to kinda shortcut it but she knows i’m not gonna remember it that way #no one has every treated me with so much care like that i’m gonna cry now byee 🥹 #p

Nurse wrote on a lab orders "Do now." Which is so funny. What is that going to achieve? Oh, we'll just put this blood sample in our Do Now pile instead of the Do Later pile like we usually do I guess.

#I actually think that may have been some sort of instruction for the patient #To get their labs done today per their doctor #But that's also a weird way to say that #Or the nurse didn't know the word “STAT” #Which is probably the most generically known medical term in existence so...unlikely #Plus they checked the routine box instead of the stat box #For reference these days most of our tests do get run within a day of receiving the samples #Unless they're a micro test that needs time to grow on a petri dish #Or a less common test that gets sent to another lab for testing #During peak COVID it was a different story of course #Sometimes there are other little notes on requisitions that just really highlight how little doctors and nurses understand lab work #I mean I get it but it's also scary how disconnected parts of medicine are from each other
