Chronic Illness Humor @chronicillness.bsky.social · 20h
Things chronic pain patients have normalized that are actually insane

Automatically checking how far you’ll have to walk before agreeing to plans.

Bringing meds, heating pads, or other “just in case” supplies everywhere.

Mentally calculating whether something fun is worth the pain afterward.

Being relieved when a test finally show something abnormal because you’re tired of being told everything looks fine.

I could name dozens and dozens more but I picked those who shaped me as a child and which I still view as great films. Also, do yourself a favour and watch The King and the Mockingbird (Le Roi et L'Oiseau)
A screenshot showing the 9 films that shaped me. 

The films listed are as follows: Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies, The Addams Family (the 90's one), The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, Black Swan, Pride and Prejudice (2005), The King anf the Mockingbird (a french almost silent film bsad on Jacques Prévert's poems).

this sucks. you want "restorative justice" as opposed to punishment, but what has he restored? what has he done? what does a youtuber losing his career for admitting to be a rapist have to do with carceral abolition when he has never and will never see prison time, or even actual consequences?

This. And I also want to point out that starting with some version of “I hoped it wasn't true for *my* sake as a *fan*” is fucking disgusting. Privately feeling this is human. Throwing a woe is me party (as your first thought too!!) when there are actual victims? Fuck right off.

Jacques Prévert "Chasse à l'enfant" (Poème qui a notamment inspiré le livre de Chalandon, "L'Enragé")
La Chasse à l’enfant
Bandit ! Voyou ! Voleur ! Chenapan !
Au-dessus de l'île
On voit des oiseaux
Tout autour de l'île
Il y a de l'eau
Bandit ! Voyou ! Voleur ! Chenapan !
Qu'est-ce que c'est que ces hurlements
Bandit ! Voyou ! Voyou ! Chenapan !
C'est la meute des honnêtes gens
Qui fait la chasse à l'enfant
Il avait dit "J'en ai assez de la maison de redressement"
Et les gardiens, à coup de clefs, lui avaient brisé les dents
Et puis, ils l'avaient laissé étendu sur le ciment

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Had a LOT of fun designing these Ivy and Harley costumes for Poison Ivy in Briarwood (coming out this November of DC Go!) #art 🌹✨
Costume designs for Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, in the upcoming Poison Ivy in Briarwood DC Go webcomic. 
Ivy: Dressed a 'medieval' green witch dress, with flowing long skirt layers and billowing half-sleeves. She wears an off the shoulder blouse below a corset top. Her red hair is long and partially tied back with braids.
Harley: Wearing a venetian jester outfit reminiscent of her classic suit, with long hat jangles, a ruffled collar and skirt, and puffy sleeves. the outfit is patterned with stripes and checkerboard all in black, red, and white. she has a small black diamond painted underneath each eye.

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? 

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Reminder that in 2009, Zevran being romanceable by a male warden caused enough of a stir to be on Jimmy Kimmel. I've found plenty of old forums where dudebros were super upset that Zevran called them handsome. This is where we were as a society not even that long ago.

And it wasn't cheap gags. It was GOOD. His name is said 101 times. Gnome is in it 41 times. T.Kingfisher included halflings. And dwarves. And none of them were funny for their size. Do you know how fucking INSANE THAT IS? In the D&D lore - small races are so fucking neglected.

Yousen is not treated as a joke. And fuck me sideways - I'm getting emotional about it. WotC didn't give him SHIT. Larian CUT anything that mattered save the garlic? And apparently there was never an answer as to "why gnome". But T.Kingfisher said "here's why gnome" without taking away from Astarion

Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira for the book 'Truthteller' by Mariana V. Coelho, featuring a woman with a golden headpiece that covers her eyes and fans out behind her head like rays. She is wearing a red and elaborate outfit with multiple layers and gold embroidery with gemstones. She is holding a scale in each of her hands, while the scales' chains wrap around her hands and forearms and go up towards the sky. Some of the chains are breaking, one of the scales is tipping down and gold liquid is running down.
