In fact, you became the very thing you sought to destroy.

Genuinely my favourite series! I cannot express how good it is. The LN has interjections from other reincarnations that some may find boring, if that's a turn-off, try the manga! It's extremely cute, has EXTREMELY interesting worldbuilding, and I just don't know how to put into words just how much I love this series.

might I recommend "so I'm a spider, so what?", the isekai manga about a loser fail girl who is isekai'd as a fucking spider.

featuring all of the tropes you know and love from isekai starring a man, but without any of the incel nonsense?

she knows she's a raging chuunibyou. and she's loving every second of it.

i love bell hooks … so much

Scripts for Talking to Doctors

We aggressively believe that patients shouldn’t have to do a bunch of emotional labor to get their needs met by their healthcare providers, but the reality we live in means this is an important skill to have as a spoonie.

Luckily, we have some new resources for you!

💊 This super long thread on code words to use with doctors [CW exaggerated ableism/use of slurs], kicked off by the Cliff’s Notes on “How To Negotiate Your Disability Without Curling Into A Ball And Weeping More Than Once Or Twice A Week *Or* Murdering The Entire Universe (More Than Once Or Twice A Week).”

Covered topics:

Getting pain meds without being labeled as a drug-seeker.

Getting mobility devices despite enormous stigma.

Getting a “medibuddy” or advocate in with you when your doctor likes enforced isolation tactics.

Taking notes and being organized without ruffling any feathers.

Introducing “googled” information with a little fibbing.

Tactical crying.

…and basically being manipulative as hell, because sometimes that’s really, frustratingly necessary in order to get past ableist gatekeeping.

💊 This response to a request for help talking to a surgeon and getting him “to take me and my mysterious health issues seriously while still coming off as a ‘good patient.’”

💊 Our archive of advice under the “Dealing with Doctors” tag (yeah, we’re mad this has to exist, too.) And to those about to enter appointments… we salute you.

me, banging on old hyperfixations: you got serotonin?

i love the concept presented here where sexualities come equipped with at least one slur provided upfront free of charge
