My sickbay is a safe space for people of all species, races, genders, sizes, abilities, and anyone willing to behave kindly towards others. Mask up in your ongoing pandemic. Also remember to take your medicines, hydrate, and dress warmly on your alternate plane of existence. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:umgwbotr2bqnl6vnnitmyhkm/bafkreiefp5m76fhunpabsua535lutysqc2curbsisolcunhaelopku535q@jpeg)

Trans women are women, trans men are men, honor the identity people share with you or else get out of my sickbay. 🖤💙😷🥄🏳️⚧️

Obesity does not cause many of the things your era's doctors think. It's mostly the other way around. In any case, vilifying anybody for their body type is abhorrent and doctors who do so are negligent on top of being frequently scientifically wrong. 🖤💙😷🥄

No aspect of health care should ever be granted or limited on the basis of someone's wealth or lack thereof. 🖤💙😷🥄

Many wheelchair users can move their legs, so just because you see someone in a wheelchair do so doesn't mean they don't need that mobility device. Some can even stand or walk but the chair alleviates pain from doing so. Spread the word about ambulatory wheelchair users! 🖤💙😷🥄

We have people from many cultures on board the Enterprise. Every patient's preferred labels for themselves are valid in my sickbay. That goes for gender, medical conditions, anything, regardless of what anyone from elsewhere thinks of it. Tell me who you are so I can help. 🖤💙😷🥄

Your immune system is not a muscle. It does not require exercise. Stressing it doesn't make you healthier. That's not how vaccines work. Vaccines are information; disease is stress. You read books, you don't beat your body with them to "get stronger". 🖤💙😷🥄

I truly understand the health-related battles you fight constantly just to get through your day, and I deeply respect you for all of it. I'd rather just cure you so you didn't have to fight, but I do recognize and support you. 🖤💙😷🥄

Accessibility features and tools are not gifts the health-privileged get to bestow upon those in need and then demand gratitude for. They are necessities as much as every other feature abled folks take for granted. Systemic inequity is the only differentiator. 🖤💙😷🥄

You never have to let people who deliberately injured you back into your life, no matter how "sorry" they say they are. You don't have to believe them if you don't want to. It's okay to listen to your instincts and keep your shields up. 🖤💙😷🥄

Don't put up with anybody's cruelty and malicious ignorance, least of all about your medical conditions. 🖤💙😷🥄

For consenting adults who like such things, I hope you're having fantastic, healthy, safe sex lives. Remember: use a flared base so you don't get lost in space! But if something does go wrong then don't hesitate to call for medical help. We've seen it all before. 🖤💙😷🥄🍆🌮🍑

Good friends who don't want to participate in intimate medical conversations exit politely and gracefully. Anyone who responds to a medical conversation with, "TMI!" is not your friend. You are allowed to talk openly about your conditions. 🖤💙😷🥄

You are worth good care and advocating for that for yourself should never be a risk to your care in any way. It's horrifying that the risk is there. 🖤💙😷🥄

Health care workers who blame patients for the worker's own negligence or mistakes shouldn't be allowed to continue in practice. I'd absolutely boot any staff out of my sickbay who pulled that. 🖤💙😷🥄

You don't have to declare a gender in my sickbay unless you feel it's relevant, your gender identity needn't be certain (it's okay to still be finding yourself!), and no gender-based harassment of any kind will be permitted for any reason. Sickbays should be safe spaces! 🖤💙😷🥄🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

Your body size/shape/type/color/decorations/etc should have no bearing on the health care you receive. It is awful how many doctors in your era don't seem to understand this. 🖤💙😷🥄

Do lovely, fun, productive things with your day but if you have a chronic illness and/or disability that can lead to post-exertional malaise then please don't push yourself too hard. Take breaks, pace yourself, give yourself extra rewards from me. 🖤💙😷🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄

You're allowed to ignore unsolicited/ignorant medical advice, even from a doctor. If you go in to be seen about your injured finger and get a lecture about weight loss, you're allowed to ignore that because it's nonsense. 🖤💙😷🥄

There will always be people who tell you that you shouldn't eat or love or live in this or that way, and usually they're wrong, so you may as well eat and love and live the way that works for you and your health needs and ignore those people. 🖤💙😷🥄

If I could, I'd give each and every one of you a personal, therapeutic holodeck. One that doesn't allow safety protocols to be turned off or fail, doesn't accidentally generate uncontrollable new lifeforms, or threaten you in any way. Just a nice one to bring you peace. 🖤💙😷🥄

Bundle up against any inclement weather your area may be having and treat yourself to things that make you happy. You deserve comfort and joy. 🖤💙😷🥄☕️🛋️🛌🖖

Our combadges have an "unavailable" setting and I frequently have to remind crew to use it. Everyone needs downtime. It's not only okay for you to refuse to take calls or read social media when you need space, it's essential for your overall health. 🖤💙😷🥄

Hugs are always available in my sickbay for those who want them, especially for anyone who has been treated badly by other health care workers because of your race, weight, gender, sex, place of origin, etc. If you can get to my sickbay, I will shower you with kindness. 🖤💙😷🥄

It's impossible to "cheat" on a diet or be "guilty" of eating some foods or even to have "guilt-free" foods because food has no moral value. Eat food that works for you. Fed is best. 🖤💙😷🥄
