Today, I found out that the biologic I take for Lupus, RA, and FMF (Familial Mediterranean Fever) is being discontinued. This means we need to find a new drug that works (that insurance will cover), or I will need to start infusions and I’ll be without meds until then. I am devastated and exhausted.

I’m sorry but who is pricing the items in Scrooge’s store in Dreamlight Valley? Like, why am I paying 380 coins for a couch and 97,000 coins for a pair of Wall-E sweatpants?

I cannot adequately express how much I do not want to talk to your fuckass AI bot to schedule my medical appointment

Remember the days when there was a non zero chance that you would encounter a flash mob while out and about?

I just think it’s kind of rude that I have an autoimmune disease that is like, “Hey, what if, when you’re in a flareup from your other autoimmune diseases, I came along and gave you a fever like 3 times a week? You down for chills and body aches?”

Tell me why I just got a very specific craving for one of these

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

I am WHEEZING

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?

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

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 😂

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 🖤

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. 🙃

“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.

Tell me why my partner just said, “Why does Heidi Klum’s Grammy dress look like she’s wearing a skin flavored fruit roll up?” I’m CRYING

Blessed Imbolc, dear friends. The light is returning. 🖤

Hundreds of people spelled out the distress signal "SOS" on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 30. 📷️ Provided by Jeff Schad

Me talking to Me yelling at Taylor Swift my cat 🤝 “Get out of the fucking closet!”

So it turns out that watching long pond tonight was maybe not my best idea

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

Do you ever not finish a show because you don’t want it to be over or are you normal?

At least everyone finally understands why being a Minnesotan is like 93% of every Minnesotan’s personality.

It’s the perfect weather for ICE to get the fuck out of Minnesota.

I have genuinely never been prouder to be a Minnesotan

I thought this was an extended metaphor at first. He’s live posting a hostage situation and I’m trying to figure out if the bus is America.

Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

Constitutional amendment establishing gray duck as the correct version of the game.

Good morning from Minnesota!

So you’re going to look me straight in the face and tell me that the gluten free cheez its that I’ve been waiting FOREVER for may contain almond?! Pls I needed this. Fuckin food allergies.

Whatever is wrong with me, I have the flavor of it that makes me wake up at 6:45 on a Saturday morning with an intense urge to deep clean my fridge, freezer, and pantry immediately

No details yet, but there has been another shooting by a federal agent in Minneapolis bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...

*Niche How I Met Your Mother post alert* I need so much distraction right now that I’m not even sure Barney’s living room TV could handle the job 😂

I know things are hard out there but I’m begging people to take a big breath and realize that screaming at random people you encounter in your day to day life does not fix this.
