My meds and hormones have been messed up and now I’m 💩🥄🥣 in Facebook forums. 🤦‍♀️ Oh well. If people are fine saying with their full chest that they don’t follow minimum care standards for their profession, then I have no problem telling them to their face they should retire. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The annoyance I feel at @amazonprime.bsky.social for continuing to suggest other shows to me when I just want to watch Off Campus again. KEEP IT AT THE TOP PLEASE. I just want it to automatically play when I turn on the TV, not have to look for it. #OffCampus

It doesn’t help I was raised to be extremely competitive and take losses personally. So easier not to engage than let myself become exhausted physically and mentally. But the sports in the AC stadiums are actually not all that bad. ☺️

I think a lot of my personal dislike of “sportsball” also has to do with being exposed to weather elements/temperature, uncomfortable seating, the inability to get decent allergy friendly food - which are all accessibility based and make sense if I zoom out.

In growing up and trying not to yuck someone else’s yum, I still dislike a lot of the culture, the misogyny and general aura surrounding *sports*. But now as a boy mom, I’m starting to appreciate that it can be a really great and healthy outlet.

Next time I have a hysterectomy (😜🤣) instead of being a sad sack recuperating at home, imma book a two week cruise to veg.

Hating on sports and all things athletic was my “not like other girls” thing. I still dislike a lot of the culture, the misogyny and general aura surrounding *sports*. But now as a boy mom, I’m starting to appreciate that it can be a really great and healthy outlet.

We cannot be what we cannot see. We cannot do what hasn’t been modeled for us. Rather than pretending problems or traumas don’t exist, let’s show healthy coping and healthy relationships.

Portrayal not portal. 🤦‍♀️

Ann Maycroft @audlyhearing.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
Media representation and portal matters. Deeply. So many of us may not have been exposed to things by our birth families, our environment, our own experiences. But we can view and learn. So representing with authenticity, matters. The media we consume and how we left it shape us, matters.

If we can get PTSD from watching horror or war movies we can certainly develop attachments to “people” we’re perceiving in our space.

That said, people will ✨anthropomorphism✨ the ish out of the most mundane objects so it makes sense we would form parasocial relationships with *characters* when they’re “brought to life” so convincingly. Brains don’t necessarily separate tv people from people people.

Actors are not their characters. They are people doing a job, and they are very good at their job!

I should have had something with Audrey Hepburn listed. Hmmm…maybe Sabrina? But only if I could splice watch it with the Harrison Ford remake instead of Humphrey Bogart. 🫤 That is a lot of Harrison Ford… (not that I’m complaining). 🤫 And I should add an Alfred Hitchcock somewhere.

Looking at you #OffCampus! 👀 Could we have a non-🪦ing college girl ambulatory wheelchair user without her disability being a time 💣 or the main highlight of her storyline but she’s still a fully formed character who deserves relationships of all kinds with others? 🥹🙏

As someone in all but the cancer category, I have a complicated love/hate relationship with my body. And I don’t need ableds slotting me into any weird categories. But it would be nice to have some NORMAL shows with disability represented where we’re not just manic pixie dream girling until we 🪦

Casablanca The Mummy (1999) Star Wars (I don’t care pick one) Raiders of the Lost Ark When Harry Met Sally The Princess Bride Ever After Top best 7 films of all time. They hold up. I love them. I can watch any of these, any time. Mood doesn’t matter. Quote it. #AmericanFilm #BestFilms #TopFilms

I see what Amazon prime is doing. Only a commercial or two, then when you start binging or rewatching, MORE commercials for LONGER periods of time

I feel sad for me. I feel sad for the little girl. And the teenager. And the young woman. And the young mom. And the entrepreneur who thought she had to go to school/class/work/etc when she was hurting so badly. Who didn’t call out. Who just pushed through. #Endometriosis #Adenomyosis

You know what ages you prematurely? Pain. Constant, chronic, unrelenting pain. I had a hysterectomy 3 days ago; anyone who has seen me since says my skin looks amazing, I look less puffy, more well rested. I’m glowing. Because the surgery is helping me to manage just SOME of the pain my body has.

Listing my surgeries from most traumatic/painful/hard to recover from to the “easiest” it’s: 1) Spinal laminectomy, 2) ICD placement, 3) Colonoscopy, 4) Wisdom teeth removal (impacted), 5) Hysterectomy/appendectomy/removal of endometriosis, 6) sinus surgery.

Had a total hysterectomy on Monday and I can confidently say I have definitely gone to work feeling worse than I do right now. No lie. #Endometriosis #Adenomyosis #InterstitialCystitis #ChronicPain

Even though I’ve suffered symptoms for decades, I was still worried that they wouldn’t find anything wrong with me (so much Medical gaslighting over the years telling me my cycles were “normal”. NOPE. Endometriosis, and Adenomyosis, and Interstitial Cystitis. #WomesHealth

Had a hysterectomy yesterday for Adenomyosis and Endometriosis. Even with the soreness of the surgery scars today, I still feel better than my baseline! Do not let them gaslight you into trying to manage this with birth control pills. Surgery is the BEST way.

Toe boxes on shoes need to be bigger. Shoes are still designed with the idea of slender aesthetics and not based on how human feet work! Feet don’t need to be small. Let my toes breathe.

Will never get over learning the reason why little kids are so snotty is because they have no sinus cavities as that’s where all the TEETH are stored! 🤯 Of COURSE that’s why we have gaping holes in our faces. TEETH used to live there!

People with chronic illness complain about not being believed because their labs are “normal”. My labs are never normal, and I’m still not believed.

Since the Supreme Court gutted patient right to privacy, and since congresspeople are public servants, I think their finances and health records should all be available to the public for review, comment, criticism, and debate. Transparency!

Makes me annoyed that Duolingo is messing up my 100 day streak by not giving me enough energy to finish any of the three lessons I tried to complete today. 😒 Unless I pay for the app of course. Nope. I’ll just lose my streak. 🦉 #Duolingo
