The single worst part of chronic illness? It’s not the illness. Truly; illness can be learned and accepted and coped with. It may involve pain, fatigue and increasing amounts of bitterness, but these things are like furniture in the House of You*. Sometimes you get stuck with an ugly lamp and you never get rid of it.

I notice the kindle’s battery time being advertised based on “30 minutes of daily reading” and burst into alienated giggles because jesus christ is 30 minutes the average for reading people I thought the 3-4 hours was the norm

Awkward
I like Awkward. I’m too lazy to be an active fan person or whatever so people should please just start filling my dashboard with nice Awkward referency things.
