Completely wiped cookies and cache and everything. Carefully sifted through as much of history as I could be arsed to refind my most important tabs (read: mostly ‘important’ fanfic and webcomics).
So I lost a lot of tabs. I run on a...

As someone with a disability, one of the things I often hear is assumptions about performance. Usually it’s no one who knows me, or an overheard conversation, maybe it’s a scrap of overheard conversation or a side-note in a newspaper editorial.

if I answer truthfully, I’m either weird, a whiner, or something else
the only non-awkward answer is “I’m fine,” which is a lie for me
the question is too vague; do they mean emotionally or...

here are questions i wish people would ask instead of those memes that sound so high school
1. Physical attributes you find particularly alluring? 2. Mental/personal attributes you find particularly alluring? 3. Name a book that changed your life. 4. Detail your personal feelings about public transit and share a story involving a mode of public...

Hey fibro folks. Opinions?
So I’m experiencing numbness in first one arm, like the whole arm, and now also that leg and starting in on the other arm and leg. First time in months I haven’t been able to evaluate a pain level. I’m not currently taking anything. If I move around at all I feel dizzy and sort of black-y out-y. Tightness in the chest. Etc. It’s kinda freaking me out a bit, to be honest....
