The things that I would do for gluten free, sesame/nut free Chinese food right now oh my god

I wish I wasn’t the kind of person who already has a nervous stomach about a flight that is still 4 days away

Autoimmune disease symptoms feel like the physical embodiment of ADHD, it’s always chaos, it’s wildly unpredictable, and when something new happens you’re not even that surprised

I’m in the mood to watch some good twizzles

If my attorney walked in wearing this, I would be like, “Oh thank god, I’m good”

At my rheumatology appointment a few weeks ago for a Lupus et al. checkup, I mentioned pain in my shoulder and inability to put weight on it. He ordered an MRI and called with the results today. Apparently I have a “significant” rotator cuff injury and need to see a specialist 🙃

I am WHEEZING

Okay so maybe those were their exact words but close enough lmao

What if it was June and I was standing on the back deck of my home queer bar and I’m hot and sticky but the breeze feels amazing and I have a drink in my hand and I’m listening to the friends I just made singing karaoke while pulling another few hundred out of the ATM for my favorite drag queens?

Selfie tweeted by Calista Gingrich with the captioned “spring is on its way in Switzerland!” Her skin is unnaturally smooth and tight, reminiscent of Cassandra in Doctor Who

Cassandra from doctor who. She was once a human, but she’s had so many procedures that she’s just skin with a mouth and eyes, stretched tightly on a metal frame

I’m sorry but I can’t unsee it

Me: Applies to job, tries not to be excited because it’s ROUGH out there.

Job: Congrats on making it to the 1st round! Please complete this exercise!

Me: OMG I knocked it out of the park and feel so good!

Job: You’re the worst, all your friends hate you, and you will never find love. Best wishes!

I have a special plastic bowl I love to eat cereal out of when I’m elevated and it makes me so happy every time. Is this what they mean when they say “romanticize your life”

I already miss the Olympics

This is an excellent read, as always!

Also, this serves as your quarterly, “If you’re not subscribed to Law Dork, what are you even doing?” post.

All I want is for Lupus pain to magically disappear from my body (immediately pls) and tickets to see Florence and The Machine in Minneapolis, is that too much to ask?

Update: I had an MRI today and the techs told me they were, “So proud of me” and that I was, “So brave and calm” for making it through even though I was panicky because ✨claustrophobia✨. So, basically I’m getting my fill of external validation from medical professionals right now lmao

If you were going to suggest a song, I knew this would be it

I’ve been needing the release of a good full body cry for like a month and I feel like I’ve tried everything with no luck, so I think the next step is creating the most diabolically devastating playlist I can imagine

Everybody Scream has an absolute chokehold on me and I simply cannot get enough.

Florence Welch, god that you are.

Tell me you’re immunocompromised without telling me, I’ll go first:

My friend is sick and sent me a voice message. When I pushed play and she sounded awful, I automatically held my phone far away from my face so I could distance myself from the germs 🙃

It’s dance competition season and I have the itch to be rhinestoning an entire rack of costumes and accessories

I have been watching curling for the past 20 minutes and I can confidently say that I genuinely have no idea what is going on

While getting x-rays done today, the tech kept saying things like, “Yes, exactly! That’s perfect!” and “You’re a pro at this! Good job!” And I just hope she knows how much I needed that 😂

Lmaooo yes, I sure do! And then you made me a delightful blueberry lemon tart about it!

10/10 recommend having matching autoimmune diseases with your bestie, it makes this life so much easier when you’re not making chronic illness jokes alone 🖤

Friday is shoot up day AND rheumatology appointment day so I’m going to have to be extra careful 😂

I do not understand physics well enough to understand some of these Olympic athletes.

Today, I had to listen to hold music for more than TWO HOURS STRAIGHT before speaking to someone for less than 5 minutes. I think I’ve gone mad. 🙃

His middle name is actually Kerrygold

Cover of Cynthia Erivo’s book “Simply More: A Book for Anyone Who Has Been Told They’re Too Much”

“I stepped away from that place and fully into myself. Sometimes knowing what is not for you opens the door to what really is.”

I cannot adequately express just how much I needed Cynthia Erivo’s book right now. I am only halfway through but I know I will read this again and again.
