DOCTOR, GREETING ME AFTER I WAKE UP FROM A 20 YEAR COMA: Welcome sir, you've been in a coma for 20 years after you fell down 50 flights of stairs into a bomb factory. We've had to do massive prosthesis work on you to keep you alive
ME, LOOKING DOWN TO SEE THE LEFT HALF OF ME IS ALL METAL: Ah fuck this rules doesn't it?
DOCTOR, LOOKING AT HIS CLIPBOARD AND BACK TO ME: It extremely does sir
meds, complain
ok so i have a handful of things i need to take at about the same time every day and some of them it's like "don't touch this if ur not eating" and some it's like "don't even think about this if there's food near you" and i really don't get why they can't have some kind of system to make this not happen. given the medications themselves are standardised already it shouldn't be gorram hard

needles, fae, historical ableism
yet another piece of evidence to suggest the fae are an old description of neurodiverse folks:
you know the iron allergy thing? yeah well turns out there's a specific chemical where a deficiency of it is associated with being abnormally sensitive to needles—specifically the physical sensation (and probably not just needles; that's just what got tested)
and of the groups of people tested, autistic folx were by far the most likely to produce an antibody for it

I'm suddenly reminded of the guy on Mastodon who, without an introduction or anything, offered me a kiln... I said mate I'm not sure if I have any use for a kiln he said it's for free but you need to get it yourself because I don't have a car I said DUDE I DON'T EVEN LIVE IN THE UK so he was like DO YOU WANT THE KILN OR NOT
