Dude For Real Though Your Worth As A Human Being Is Not Dependent On How Productive Or “useful” You

This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.

“This person has harmed me in unbelievable and unforgivable ways” and “this person has experienced unbelievable and unforgivable harm from others” are not mutually exclusive. A lot of times the people who abused you were abused themselves. That’s an explanation, but it’s not an excuse. Don’t let people get away with shit just because shit happened to them. And don’t let the shit they do to you influence you to do shit like that to other people.

Break the cycle, babes. But remember you can only do that if you acknowledge it exists.

So I’ve been on Celebrex for like 3 1/2 months now, had to stop taking it recently because it was giving me some GNARLY nausea and oh boy. Oh goodness. I did not realize HOW MUCH Celebrex was helping me until I had to stop taking it entirely.

Like it wasn’t completely curing me or anything, I was still having constant joint pain and fatigue, but it made my symptoms… semi-manageable? Kinda? Like I truly forgot just HOW bad it felt to have my pain go untreated.

Luckily after my last intense flare up I made sure to really build my work schedule around my pain and prepare things to run on their own incase I needed to take it easy for a while but holy shit. I feel Very Bad™️ right now.

Listen I know the only way to figure out what’s making me sick is to wait for my lab tests to come back and see what the doctor says.

And I know that panic googling autoimmune diseases that I MIGHT have is 1. Not productive and 2. Not healthy.

…………………but I read this article about LUPUS last night, and I—

I’ve been exercising to help my fatigue, unfortunately I keep pushing myself too hard and worsening my joint pain…. which then makes my fatigue worse.

BUT it’s okay because if I need more energy, I can just exercise! Again! And if I injure myself again and my fatigue gets even worse, it’s okay, because if I need help with my fatigue, I can just EXERCISE!!! And then if my joints get worse because of that and I get more fatigue, it’s okay, because I can just EXERCISE MORE, AND—

Got the results for my blood test back

Finally a three sentence horror story I can relate to

Guess who had a flare-up but is feeling a bit better now.

THIS GUY

See you all waited too long to draw frogman shirtless so I had to do it myself. And I went and made him trans. The Loveland Frogman is trans and slutty now forever, and it’s all because the rest of you didn’t draw his abs enough when you had the chance.

Really though I didn’t mean to make it this slutty. It just got away from me. He used to be totally shirtless, I thought adding the shirt would help, but it turns out it just made him sluttier.

There are not enough sexy drawings of cryptids. Where is the Loveland Frogman with abs? Where is the Fresno Nightcrawler as a nervous little twink? Where is mothman’s dick???

My partner and I watched JoJo for the first time together and since then we have had multiple conversations along the lines of “this writing choice in JoJo was so interesting, let’s talk about it for literally an hour nonstop”

jojo's bizarre adventure is a life altering series if you're susceptible to the brainrot pathogen. if you're not i'm sure it's kinda whatever but if you are. you get enrolled in a secret jojo club and you lose the ability to fully speak your mind outside of it. you realize a tantalizing desire to sightsee in italy, but know that you must never, ever set foot there, else you'll risk annoying everyone around you with the constant pointing out of familiar locations. you cannot go to an aquarium without thinking, "jotaro kujo would love this." when you take a drink of water that's especially refreshing, you think of okuyasu, in tonio's restaurant, where he cried the sleeplessness out of his eyes, and wish you could do the same. and like a zombie, you attempt to spread the disease to others, the people you love most. you say to them, with a sly smile, "hey, there's this anime i think you would like," and if they're not sick of hearing about it, on the off chance they decide to try it, and like it, you'll rejoice at having another person share your curse. now you're both ruined, swapping looks and pointing out things "you just thought were cool." you have matching cherry earrings. your music taste is better than it's ever been.

Connecting with others who are also chronically ill is so nice.
