oh shit

there’s no shame in needing to pause a physical activity to go get a glass of water. yes, this includes fucking

actually. happy disability pride month to any of my fellow disabled people who fuck different. who need to take sex slowly. who need to use an inhaler during sex. who need a wrist massage before or after sex. you’re epic, and you deserve to have your body rocked this disability pride month

a pixel animation of a small yellow snail with a brown shell moving across the screen from left to right. when it gets to the edge on the right, it jumps up and down three times before moving off the screen.ALT

oh uh. scuse me. just a lil snail crossing your dash

I love how certain I am that I’m not the only person who stopped scrolling to let the snail finish crossing the dash.  

In fact, I would bet small sums of money that the majority of Tumblr folk do.    

Rb for the lil hops it does at the end before it finishes crossing 🥺💓

I wasn’t crazy about this piece so I wasn’t intending on publicly posting it again, but it keeps getting stolen every five minutes so I figured I’d put it here so people at least know who to attribute the original thing to lmao

For future reference you guys if you’re planning to repaint my stuff that’s completely fine and I love when people put their own spin on my work— just ask me first before you post it, perhaps. And maybe don’t submit it to a gallery as your own idea lol. As someone who literally has to crowdfund a good bit of my healthcare, it feels a little insulting

notes for my impostor syndrome:

• no, it's not painful to walk for abled-bodied people

• no, healthy people don't usually use every chance they get to lean against walls or sit down

• no, ableds don't dream about shower stool

• no, ableds don't celebrate days when they're not in pain. because usually they're not in pain

• no, ableds don't want to stop walking mid-way, lay down on the ground, curl up and cry and whine from pain

• no, ableds aren't exhausted by their own bodies 24/7

just realized that as an able bodied person I can make the "What if this hurts everyone and nobody talks about it and i'm just a huge baby about everything" post i wish I'd had about sensory issues and anxiety :O

Here are some human experiences no one thinks to clarify

  • Standing: can't remember a recent time i was standing in one place and it was uncomfortable apart from making me fidgety and bored
  • Walking: only time recently my legs hurt from walking is after going on a 5 mile hike that is steep enough to be like walking up and down stairs for at least a couple miles. and i spent an hour climbing on boulders too
  • Daily experience of pain: basically none usually, (at least when i'm not in college and getting back pain and headaches and shit from how tense and stressed I am...)
  • shower: i sit down in the shower sometimes for funsies but standing in the shower doesn't make me tired in any way
  • i never have to alter my plans or activities because of some kind of pain in my body. unless there's like a specific things causing it, like i got hurt recently or something
  • i basically have to go out walking every day and do some kind of physically active thing or i get bored out of my mind. and when I do it's usually just plain fun and relaxing.

basically it's never a problem for me to walk on flat ground, like barely a noticeable expenditure of energy, and uphill isn't much of an issue either unless it's for like. hours

and i don't have back pain it's kinda weird to me that people talk like everyone does by the time they're in their 20s

*however this post made me realize that in college i've been exhausted and in pain a lot more than normal for me so there's that

I used to think back pain in your 20s was normal and now i know i probably have a joint and connective tisue thing going on. I do wonder if the "everyine has back pain in their 20s" people are confusing pain from college and work stress for normal life sense so many people are stressed these days.

$20 says it's retail jobs where you have to stand for 8+ hours shifts that's causing it to be so common

Mr Spain vs the runner up Mr Vietnam. Like. How the fuck?

Looking very respectfully at Mr. Vietnam

I mean personally I was in favor of Mr. Peru and Mr. Nigeria but I can fully agree Spain can get out of there.

Tbh mr spain looks like a piece of art compared to britain and cuba’s costumes

SE asia brought the thunder

Alright you guys I found all 33 of them, and it seems there’s three schools of thought for the costumes: Just Some Guy (tends to be more traditional or modern clothing), Slutty Halloween Costume, and Balls To The Wall Batshit Insanity. I can’t pick a favorite, so here they all are in alphabetical order by country:

(By virtue of there being 33, which doesn’t split into groups of 4 evenly, Vietnam gets to be the big photo.)

What a beautiful, majestic lineup.
