He was laddered
The most laddered man I knew
so I embedded my teeth into his
rungs
clawed my way up
only to reach his summit
breathless
to see vast mountains of
nothing on the horizon

Removing him was the easy part

Thank you. It’s been hard with disabilities & neurodivergence. I started this in 2021, hope to be done in 2027. There’s a lot of a support available now. Illness screwed up my first attempt and robbed me of my career, so I won’t let it take this. But yes, I am privileged to be able to do it.

Didn’t he tell us to inject bleach?

Why did nobody teach us about perimenopause in school? Why did our mothers never mention it? They were gaslit by doctors weren’t they? That’ll be it.

I’m fully done with being a woman. I want to come back as a man, and invest on the stock market as soon as I get a job. Why did nobody teach us finance in the 90s? Totally off topic I know. I’m a middle aged disabled woman, with copious traumas, trying to do a retirement plan.

All I wanted was ice cream. What did I do in a past life to deserve this? #ibs maybe #ileitis maybe something else… told it’s a year to see a gastroenterologist… 👌🏻 My body hates me. Luckily I’m really obsessed with olives and crispy tofu right now.

So shite. Thank you! ☺️

It just made me feel some sort of way. I have so many symptoms connected to perimenopause, but it takes mentioning libido to get HRT. I didn’t have any sort of conversation about sex with my female dermatologist. She was like, you’re a woman, you have symptoms, you’re at that age. Try it.

I’d not had it for years so I thought it might have improved, but I was wrong!
