I talk a lot about MCAS and TTRPGs.
Canadian-Australian living in Alberta.
Probably won't follow you if you're American. I get enough of that on every other social platform.
Occasional Christian-posting. Occasional Ace-posting.
Anyways a lot of purity culture is built on gaslighting yourself and others (a lot of it in un-self-aware ways), and I don't recommend it 'cause it's a really insecure and precarious way to live.

If you can't believe another person can accurately report their experience that sorta undermines the entire Bible. And it's then weird and cognitively dissonant to believe GOD can accurately say stuff about Themself, but other people can't be reliable narrators of their own experience.

I use Spotify but I think YouTube is most accessible to people who don't have a subscription? And I can always copy and paste songs.

And my favourite bit of advice from KC is "your space exists to serve you, you don't exist to serve your space", which helps me look for creative ways to set up my living space so it serves ME. I have a snack jar in my living room next to my laptop, 'cause I forget to eat and get low blood sugar.

My favourite piece of advice from Kendra is "Decide Once", so where possible decide on a default, which keeps you from extra stress and decision fatigue. Eat the same thing for breakfast, decide that Fridays are pizza night, wear the same sweater all winter unless it needs to be washed, etc.

A couple books that I found have super practical advice are The Lazy Genius Way by Kendra Adachi, and How To Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis.

Genuine question, is it a hot take to prefer the 1994 Little Women? Nearly everyone I run into in the historical costuming community dislikes Gerwig's version, and I'm an outlier for preferring the 2019 Little Women over the 1994 film.

I am very sorry to all the guys who would like to be one of The Five Guys Who Have All The Money but we will never have a working economy with Five Guys Having All The Money

The economy is supposed to be an ecosystem not a kingmaker

Stubbornly refusing to use the new phone as a phone until my old one completely dies.

(And after I de-google the new one.)

I know this because I inherited a newer phone from a friend. New-to-me phone is supremely annoying. It keeps trying to "help" me and I feel like the tech is using me, rather than me using the tech. And this sucker doesn't even have AI enabled.

Anyways I hope they work on their internalised ableism before their body crashes dramatically from too much pushing through.

Also if they had cared about doing any research on my condition they'd KNOW that MCAS is bloody hard to pick up on tests and diagnosis can take 5+ years.

I don't need an official diagnosis to know that I need accommodations and antihistamines to not feel like crap.

Leaving aside that yeah that's a crap tonne of internalised ableism, that's their problem, and leaving aside the fact that I have two other doctor-diagnosed conditions (one of which is the same as this family member),

must be nice to have a body that still lets you push through.

From my experience extrapolating MCAS to ME/CFS, this would take about a year in the mild stage. Maybe 6 months if they got moderate to severe symptoms.

Also I find it really funny when people talk about your body being wise and perfect and it'll heal itself, like bodies as a whole do not DO NOT know how to teeth. Perpetually confused about how many teeth to make and where to put them. (Read the replies and learn.)

Ok query time. Biology is messy and full of exceptions. How does *your* body differ from the usual expected of you as the human you are? Anything big or small.

My mum has an extra vertebrae, a close friend multiple spleens. One sis is built like she works out but eats like a sparrow.
