oh god, absolutely constantly. it's always have you tried yoga, and i have to say "well, justvlike the first sixty times you asked, yes i have, and no, it didn't cure me. that's not how it works." im a lazy ingrate for having to take bed days, and im giving in to my weakness for using a cane. it's the most insulting, invalidating, hurtful bullshit ever. and when it comes from family it's so much more painful because they should be able to see how much you struggle to do the things they constantly recommend

is anyone else with chronic and mental illness constantly lectured by everyone in their life about what they need to be doing to "improve" their life?

I'm just so tired of it. Every doctor, every family member, even my in laws now I'm just constantly told what I need to do better and reminded how I'm not good enough/not doing enough

hey so i just finished The Strange And Beautiful Sorrows Of Ava Lavender and.... fucking fuck. that shit hurted. it was so interesting and funny and the characters were all understandable (except one but i wont spoil) and real and then the last hundred or so pages happened. and it was still beautifully written and the characters were still so real, but now i was crying like a bitch! fuck man, it was both so amazing and so terrible and i dont know if i will ever recover, and i cannot give enough praise to the author; Leslye Walton, for this fucking that will never release its iron grip on my damn feels.

note; some things to watch out for if you think you wanna read this book, since books are not like Ao3 and don't have trigger warnings. this book discusses some heavy ass topics, part of why this shit hurted so much. that includes; rape, a LOT of death; gruesome death and less gruesome death, mentions of genocide from a Native American character, a shitload of bigotry, implied incest at one point but from people who were like in the past its really weird, bodily mutilation and grotesque violence, depression, and, though briefly, suicidal ideation. it may be a beautiful book, but it is a hard book, and i honestly am amazed i made it through, because while the author wrote this with a great deal of compassion and handled things well in my opinion, it was still excruciatingly raw and blunt and honest, and it fucking hurt, so it could absolutely, easily, be very triggering. so yah, be warned.

REBLOG if you think any Pan identity is completely valid and isn't biphobic or transphobic

I keep seeing panphobic shit and I'm sad and I need to prove a point to myself

Help bring Indigenous horses home!

Hi all!

My friend is Ojibwe and a dedicated Indigenous researcher and activist. She recently has discovered a number of Ojibwe ponies (also known as the Lac La Croix pony) for sale by a white-owned farm.

This is really important because these ponies are very important to the Ojibwe – these ponies are also the only known Indigenous-developed breed of horse in Canada, and there are only 200 left in the world.

The fact that there are 200 left at all is incredible at all, because in 1977, Canada took the last known four ponies away to be destroyed, and they were rescued by an Ojibwe man living in Minnesota.
