#so I don't have to talk on a phone

I think when people conceptualize pain and disability, what they think of is something like this:

It's conceptualized as something you are cured from, that pain can be only temporary, and you will one day "get better."

In reality, it's something more like this:

Pain is often non-linear in nature. When you see somebody in low-pain days, weeks, or perhaps longer, that doesn't mean that they have "healed." Not all pain is curable, and the idea that it is is only hurting people who experience pain. Yes, it is uncomfortable to imagine that we might not be able to heal, that we might, in fact, become disabled by pain that will never heal. But running from this possibility is not the solution.

#disability #chronic pain #described images #image description in alt #sorry about my handwriting i was using an art program on my phone <3 #plus it isn't a graph based on like... empirical data. it's illustrative of an attitude i see from often abled people #i'm having a good-ish week so far with my pain but that doesn't mean it is gone #i know i have talked about this before but i wanted to do it more as an image than text #i think it can help people understand better (at least it does for me) #man i don't think i've made a graph since mid high school LMAO

the strange and perplexing duality of having throughly grown up with smartphones and knowing both that the free, unlimited, and semi-personal access to the internet they provided was, while also a curse, probably vital to your and others free positive development during otherwise hostile situations and times, and probably still is today... and also that it is a poison box of misery that you'd probably be better off without. or at least with way way less of. and then for fun, trying to imagine how you'd regulate your own kids time with it, if you were to have one

#even if you don't want a kid i think it's important to think about right? how'd you handle it #personally it's a family pc till you're 10 then you get a flip phone and at 13 you get your own pc #and we can talk about an iphone at 16 young....spawn....? #if you could promise a kid would grow up with kind and supportive guardians then i'd say chuck them out your nearest window. no kid needs #an iphone. hell i'm mostly convinced i don't have a good excuse to own one. but unfortunately no one can promise that #so i suppose better safe than sorry

Random Sole x Hancock Headcanon - Emails.

Sole figures out how to get some sort of online connection up and running again purely so they can send emails to Hancock's terminal from their Pip-Boy whenever they're apart. Love sick idiots.

Cue Hancock blushing and kicking his feet whilst reading the emails. He invents the ;) emote. Sole, in turn, makes the ^-^ and :3 emotes.

They both invent selfies. Hancock's the first to send one when he realises he can send pictures. It's a fucking process but he barters for old parts here and there and gets help from Kent. Eventually he has a working camera for his terminal. The first selfie was him stood on his couch, high af and surrounded by an assortment of baked goods (Edibles) he made. The email said 'Look what I can do ;D'.

He regularly sends pictures of what he's baking or random selfies when he's high.

Sole then made a similar upgrade to their Pip-Boy the minute they could. They send him random pictures of cats and other creatures they see in their travels. Cool views or old, historic buildings and art they think he'd enjoy. A collection of Dogmeat being cute. They sent one of Danse falling over. They send him pictures of books they'll think he like. Usually literature, history, or STEM stuff. Sole also takes pictures with their shared friends and lets them email him too from their arm for a quick update.

They also show off their new builds and inventions. Gun mods, armour, ect.

They also share a 'Spotting Deacon In The Wild' collection. They have a running joke that every new disguise they spot is a 'Deacon Variant' or new Deacon 'Synth'. They add names for each 'character' and the email will say '[Insert Character Name] Deacon Unlocked!' Like, Butcher Deacon, or Diamond City Guard Deacon, etc.

On that note, they invent memes. Usually from pictures of other companions or each other.

Like when Nick was 'sleeping' one time (Wide eyed stare Synth style) and Sole sent a picture of him, captioned 'Me after the horrors'.

Or when Preston was stood looking out at the Sanctuary River after a long night. Coffee in his hand. His hat and one shoe missing. Expressionless as he stared at the sunrise.

Hancock replied 'Me fucking too, brother'.

Sole will update him on their whereabouts regularly so he stays sane.

Hancock will tell them about how Goodneighbour is doing. From Mayoral plans to general gossip. How Daisy is doing, how the local kids are, etc.

Sometimes Hancock sends the most cryptic chain spam looking things when he is stoned.

Sole can email him whenever they're nearby and plan on visiting.

Hancock sometimes requests items if he knows they’re on their way, but only if they happen to come across it or already have whatever it is.

Will email them questions that he doesn't actually mean for them to answer. Just questions to the void, really. He just uses them as an outlet for his thoughts a lot.

Or for help on a crossword puzzle.

Sole will email him when they can't sleep just in case he's also awake. Nights feel really lonely when everyone you knew died 200 years ago.

Sometimes they ask him for knowledge. Like 'Do you know if this plant is poisonous?' or things that most Commonwealthers know for survival, but Sole is still figuring out.

They ask him for leadership advise. Especially during big decisions.

They both tell each other things they've seen/heard through the grapevine that they think the other should know. 'I heard that guy you were looking for was seen in Bunker Hill' 'Some Gens 2s were spotted patrolling Medford Hospital' 'Hi :) Sorry for the late response, I was running for my life :( Tell your traders to stay away from the East Bridge- Gunners'

#Taking advantage of the fact they both canonly have devices on hand #They bring back wifi just to fucking send each other notes what idiots (I love them) #Do you think Sole ever goes to call him and realises phones don't exist anymore. #John Hancock you would've LOVED facetime #Hancock invents facetime in the Fallout Canon just to talk to his husband/wife #If Sole can have a radio tower for the Castle #Who's to decide what they can't do #They're both so smart but so dumb. They share one braincell and Dogmeat has it. #Fallout #Fallout 4 #Hancock #Sole Survivor #John Hancock #SoSu #Hancock x sole #Crack headcanon

Holy shit I'm being forced to listen to this sermon and bro flat out said "Don't read your bible yourself because you need to hear it. The bible says faith comes by hearing, not reading. Studying and reading yourself won't lead to faith. You need to listen to me instead" like damn really just saying the quiet part out loud, eh?

#I hate it hear #<- see what I did there #anyways I hate this so so much but I can't leave because I don't want my nana to be sad #also he's shaming poor people for being poor because they won't talk about being rich and manifesting it #gonna shit on the floor to change my family's association with this dude I hate him so so much #I'm leaving tomorrow tho I refuse to stay longer than fixing my nana's phone #I flat out refuse to talk to my grandfather and have been ignoring him #and I told him so #ex christian #religious trauma

None of my irl friends ever ask "hey what are you currently obsessed with?" "what fandom are you in right now?" "what new shows have you watched?" "what are you drawing fanart for right now?" and that makes me a little bit sad

#like most if not all of my irl friends have showed me that they really don't care what i'm into at the moment and so i don't tell them #anymore #and they never ask #so i guess they really don't care #like when i was fully Obessed with jatp i talked about it all day every day but after a while i realized that my friends were kinda annoyed #by that #at least that's how it felt #so i just kinda stopped #and they didn't notice #and now i don't really tell my friends about my new hyperfixations anymore because i'll just get the same reactions #and i know that i can't expect them to always listen to me and always care about what random show i like at the moment #but it would be nice if they did ask one in a while #i mean i listen to what happens in their lives too #because i care about them and am interested in what they like #anyways thank you lovely people in my phone for fangirling with me and listening to me ramble about my current hyperfixations♡ #lea's random thoughts #*once in a while

THE BITCH IS BACK, BABES !!

#NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #THE ANIMAL IS OUT OF HIS CAGE. THE ANIMAL IS FREE. #FUCK THAT PLACE. SHITHOLE OF A PLACE #i have a word or two for my doctor and it starts with F and Y #i got no help. zero. whatever they said i have already learned from the internet. lol. #also my anxiety was so bad in there i lost 4 pounds from a poor appetite. #and they gave me fuckin. lithium #my parents were SO MAD when i told them over the phone #anyway #i'm home and i couldn't be happier about it #just the thought of being trapped in that place makes me wanna vom <3 #oh yeah i was put in the detox unit instead of the one for mental disorders or whatever it is #my dad was very mad i was put in with the alcoholics and drug addicts but they were very nice people #i was able to come out of my shell and have conversations with them pretty easily #that is the ONLY positive thing i can say about my entrapment #i missed you guys so much. i really missed my family #god and now they're gonna call me tomorrow morning to talk about whateverthefuck #and i gotta call my doctor in a week #god i don't wanna talk to these people anymore. LEAVE ME ALONE

[thepoisonroom]

btw if i could give one tip to the anxious bitches as one myself it would be to avoid accusing people who care for you of secretly hating you like either it's not true and you made them feel weird and like you think badly of them or it's true and you should just bounce but either way this will accomplish nothing

#i think the most immediately i've cooled on a potential friendship was when i was on the phone with a new friend #and we were talking while i was on a walk so when i got to my location i was like sorry i have to go but it's been so nice to hear from you! #and they texted right after being like 'i couldn't help but notice you begged off the call you can just say you don't want to talk to me :)' #and i was like what in the passive-aggressive groundlessly accusatory fuck #like why would you accuse me of being insincere and passive-aggressive then frame it so i can't defend myself without #validating how poorly you already think of me #like give me a fucking chance here #it really backs people into a corner #i'm someone who will put up with a lot (often to my detriment) but being told to play the villain for someone else's vindication #will always make me bite like an animal #i'm super allergic to reading a part someone else has written for me and at that point i no longer care if it #validates how poorly you already think of me because clearly your opinion of me will not improve no matter how well i behave #i got a little lost trying to explain this but just don't do it it's shitty and manipulative even if that's not your intent #personal nonsense

#i should've just gatekept scott thompson from my college bc the way my college is treating me right now is bullshit #like i don't even want to do the scott event anymore bc of how they're treating me but i kind of have to #and i know i should be grateful they're even letting me be one of the interviewers but i hate being a student so much #i hate how nobody respects my opinion or input or experience even tho i'm literally the reason scott's even doing this event #(and ESPECIALLY the reason he's willing to do it for free!!) #and it especially stings bc scott has never made me feel like my insights were worth less because i'm a student #like he's always been one of the few people who consistently treat me like we're equals even tho he doesn't have to #and the way my college is treating me. it's like they don't trust me to not be an annoying little kid #like they're just assuming scott doesn't respect me so they don't have to respect me either #i mean on the plus side i'm supposed to have another phone call with scott either today or tomorrow so i can probably explain the situation #like i don't want to make him feel negatively about my college i want him to have a good time #but this treatment is genuinely fucking with my self confidence #and also maybe i can harness scott's power to hear ''don't talk about this thing'' and immediately make the interview all about this thing #(except in this case it would be him treating me like an equal instead of a random student) #and there's a bunch of bullshit currently going on with the class i have right after the event #so even tho originally i was like ''awesome i have the perfect schedule to bring scott to all of my classes!!'' #i might just ask scott if he wants to skip class together and hang out. like i never promised that class anything #the only thing i *have* to do is the interview. the class we'd be skipping is already being like #''oh are you sure scott wants to visit the class i don't want to take him away from a better use of his time'' #and scott was genuinely excited to see what my classes were like!! even if y'all didn't treat him like a big celebrity!! #but y'know what i'm sure scott does have a better use of his time. and i do too. #i'm gonna do the interview event bc i have to (we're in too deep at this point) #and i might ask scott if he wants to talk to that freshman film class about the buddy cole doc #bc 1. they offered to pay scott for that (they can't legally pay me but that's why i made the joke about money laundering) #2. since it's about the doc it's the one class where i get to be treated like an actual person #but other than that. damn it i was excited to share this part of my life with scott but fuck that this part of my life sucks #i'm gonna have a good time with scott in boston and my college is only going to be as much a part of is as they have to be #because we ARE friends (scott said so!) and i AM a brilliant filmmaker (bruce said so!) and i DO have potential (bellini said so!) #even tho it is hard to internalize those things after how much yesterday fucked me up. but that's ok scott will call again soon

bro . .  . the ai voice technology thing is so incredibly creepy like. do. do we not see this as a problem in this age of recording people without their consent and just blasting it all over the internet. are we not thinking about like. the potential pitfalls of fake evidence. are we. are we not concerned about this

#caroline talks #anyways i was scrolling through the taylor swift tag today #and saw something that made me. want to scream #like. i get it not everyone likes taylor swift and that's fine #but gaylors scare the living crap out of me #saw someone like. have a taylor swift AI read a part of seven husbands of evelyn hugo #but it was like. a k*ylor thing and like. #can y'all be fuckign normal. u don't know them!!! you don't know them!! you don't know the whole story!!! chill! #also it just feels extra ugly considering that whole taylor-kanye-kim thing about the phone call those years back like. are u serious #and i'm just annoyed about this over a piece of celebrity stuff #but like. do. do. do people not get freaked out by this #maybe it's bc i too have this fear that someone is going to manipulate my voice or my actions on camera/audio #and misconstrue something i say or do and so I get super freaked out about it #but it's just. bro. do we. do we not.

It sucks to be isolated from the whole society from childhood almost all my life because of my parents and mental disorders, because I never learned how to integrate into modern society. And at any of my enthusiastic reactions or memories of an enthusiastic reaction from childhood, everyone starts laughing, because these things are something that has always been commonplace for them.

#like I don't care that for you a touch screen phone has always been something ordinary. /nbh #I had a large landline phone for half of my childhood and I only saw any other phones in pictures in magazines. #Like. I was a kid. OF COURSE I was delighted with some nokia lumia with its design because it seemed unusual to me. #I'm so fucking tired that even my friends always joke about me saying that I'm a village or from a cave. #No. we just didn't have money for anything and my father built huge walls between me with him and the rest of the world. #I know I'm a whole joke with all this lack of knowledge. why do I keep being reminded of this. #vncrd talks
