@J more important tho is to chuck in some protein along with any carb. protein is what your body breaks down the slowest. basically if you get your body all excited with some carbs, also give it some protein so that it also has something to do after that so you don't end up feeling hella ick.

this makes more sense in a graph hold on - i can't write on a mouse lmfao but hopefully this makes more sense

anyway here's a peak #spoonie meme to round up my Disabled Woman Yells At Cloud hour, tw for medical fatphobia/that general millieu of bullshit being made fun of

@J if you've ever felt kinda sleepy or draggy after eating, say, a bunch of white rice, or a bunch of regular pasta, or just the post-sugar-rush bluh, what's happened there is that your body went "oh shit! a lot of simple little carbs! let's pump out some insulin to get 'em in there!", then it ran out of simple carbs to do that on, and so you end up feeling super bluch.

so whole wheat pasta can kinda help moderate that and keep it more even!

@J oh hey my diabetic ass actually knows this

basically whole wheat aims to give you a more complex carb.

carbohydrates are like the first bits your body can digest and go most immediately to blood sugar. some are really 'quick' - sucrose, glucose, that kinda shit, sugar basically - others take more time to be broken down. this means your blood sugar doesn't spike up and then 'crash' as much

like from a disabled point of view, there is no change. there has been no revolution. there has been no radical thought. there has been no difference made.

it's just the same shit in a scooby-doo-villain mask and a Che Guevara t-shirt, with goalpoasts irritatingly moved.

aim to make an actual difference, not just reheating the same bullshit, putting on a sprig of parsley, and calling it haute cuisine.

at the end of the day, if capitalism says "there's a strict black and white test to determine if you're worthy of being human, and disabled people most likely flunk it, too bad"

and your anti-capitalism radical left-wing politics ALSO says "there's a strict black and white test to determine if you're worthy of being human, and disabled people most likely flunk it, too bad"

what's the fucking point lol.

i'm probably just a bitter bitch with a hurting shoulder, but honestly i am continually amazed at how some leftist groups who claim to be champions of the downtrodden are still really happy to, at best, have a complete blind spot for the disabled, and more likely cheerfully love injecting ableism into shit. often by making things depend on an entirely black-and-white morality test, and not considering how disabled folks factor in.

basically, if you're supporting the workers saying "we do not want to harm ourselves any longer in support of this shitty system", you can also have compassion and sympathy for the people who are pushed into using the system because they also don't want to harm themselves. you can also care about those lives.

you can support both at once and realize NEITHER GROUP deserves that shit system being forced on them.

do you know what i'd do if i could walk the two miles from home to bus stop, then from nearest bus stop to appointment, go to appointment, and make my way back?

NOT BE FUCKING DISABLED, THAT'S WHAT I'D DO! I'D NOT BE IN THIS FUCKING FIX WITH A TWILIGHT HALF-EXISTENCE IN THE EYES OF SOCIETY DUE TO MY FAILING HEALTH!

too much of it is just "well i would just simply not be disabled :)" which is, dare i say, not good fucking praxis

"well just get another appointment, then"

1. many specialists have waitlists in terms of months to be seen

2. many more doctors only do certain things (like procedures, etc.) on certain days

3. moving an appointment in under 24 hours often means you trigger the same financial penalty as if you had cancelled

"well just take public transport then" is also very easy to say when you AREN'T FUCKING DISABLED

for example, if i had to miss my pain doc appointment, i would:

-be without pain control entirely for a month, which legitimately would have me attempting suicide, because constant 9/10 pain with no relief leads to that as a reasonable solution.

-have to pay a 75 dollar fee

-risk being shut out of further medical services for far more than just pain medication because of my "noncompliance"

"all scabs should die" and "no scab's life is more important than the lives of the workers" is all good in isolation but it ignores the reality of these situations, in a way that is blissfully ignorant of the cruelties of the american healthcare system that disabled people find themselves trapped in

missing one appointment can often mean a heavy fee, a lack of medication necessary for life, or being declared a "noncompliant patient"

kinda tired of the black and white thinking people are applying to this uber strike and the like.

there ARE ways people can be pushed into 'being a scab'. disabled people are the perspective i'm working towards here for instance. like, yeah, it sucks.

but be mad at the system that fails both the workers AND the disabled person forced to rely on that same shitty system, not at the disabled person.

@melissasage there are situations when it can do a lot more than just inconvenience, though, and i wish people would remember to temper their ire in those situations.

for example, disabled people often end up relying on things like uber or lyft (public transport doesn't go to doctors, or anywhere, around here). disabled people also are often caught in shitty policies at doctors of the "if you miss an appointment, you don't get the medicine you need, eat shit" type.

apparently another youtube celebrity is self-destructing because his I'm A White Bro And My Bad Ideas Cannot Be Contained bubbled over

quelle surprise at someone being buddies with jontron and ending up being a rubbish motherfucker

anyway prozd is the only dude youtuber i remotely care about so the rest of 'em can burn

"i'm doing very important viera rp research," i whisper as i look up videos of angry bunnies on youtube

me: oh i'll just write a quick little profile for my viera character so i can dump out this lore from my head and close these browser tabs :)

me: *writes 2300 words*

me: ...oh dear,

before anyone accuses me of knowing anything about music the cupcakke track i know and am very fond of and like... the only track... because... i am bad at listening to music, is biggie smalls

it's really fucking good though

major tw for ed/body issues/fatphobia but it's fuckin great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S28DAeCfLyA and a song you should know for this summer if people start trying to bodyshame you, just play it on repeat louder and louder until you drown out their shit

@Shonalika fucking hell, your bravery is stunning. thank you for speaking out - and making a damn good rap track in the process.

(not that i know that much about rap, but hey, maybe you and cupcakke can collab to continue dunking on shitty-ass white boys. i can dream, right?)
