Oh hey, I'm doing a fundraising campaign for @DWCweb for Women's History Month -- please donate to this amazing organization if you can! givebutter.com/everywoman/cai…
@caitlindurante @jamieloftusHELP I seriously can't thank you enough. Also thankyouthankyouthankyou for that donation. My partner and I just saw it and were like ... speechless for a second. We actually finally finished Sludge in the hospital, and goddamn, it was so relatable. ESPECIALLY in that setting.
If you can, please donate to @rainbowdethclub (screenwriting student of mine! avid Bechdel Cast listener! all around cool person!)'s GoFundMe to help out with some unexpected medical expenses! gofundme.com/f/finn-and-kay…
My surgery is tomorrow. Can't wait to get neutered!

Today is my sludge surgery anniversary (sludgeversary)! Can't believe it's been a year since they took out all my sludge! P.S. Check out @SludgePodcast
I want to address something that I think about a lot, which is the use of specific colloquial language that is ableist and disparaging of mental illness (a thread).
cw: suicide The fact that #SuicidePreventionMonth centres around helplines, friendship, and 'don't be afraid to speak out!' rather than healthcare, radically transforming services, eradicating poverty and fighting oppression is telling to how performative the whole thing is.
Some tips on how to avoid/replace ableist language!

Shout out to the ER who just now billed me for when I went there for my sludge (gallbladder) attack, which was over a year ago, and special shout out to the American healthcare system that doesn't view healthcare as a basic human right.
Ladies: Retweet this if you have ever been misdiagnosed or dismissed by a doctor who was convinced he knew more about you than you did.
Nobody who would refuse care to a trans person has any business being in healthcare as a profession at all.

@kay_villaverde @Chronic_FLKeys Have you heard of the @SludgePodcast ? It's about a comedian who has gallstones and all the BS she has to deal with just to get treated. She's never treated for pain- after surgery doc manipulates her while she's still sedated to say ibuprofen will be fine.
My surgery is tomorrow. Can't wait to get neutered!
One week from today I am finally getting my tubes tied. Because I don't want children and I never have and I never will. This has been very hard for a lot of people to understand. Here are some conversations I've had the displeasure of having over the years (a thread).
Today is my sludge surgery anniversary (sludgeversary)! Can't believe it's been a year since they took out all my sludge! P.S. Check out @SludgePodcast
@caitlindurante @SludgePodcast Happy sludgeversary!
cw: suicide The fact that #SuicidePreventionMonth centres around helplines, friendship, and 'don't be afraid to speak out!' rather than healthcare, radically transforming services, eradicating poverty and fighting oppression is telling to how performative the whole thing is.
I want to address something that I think about a lot, which is the use of specific colloquial language that is ableist and disparaging of mental illness (a thread).
Shout out to the ER who just now billed me for when I went there for my sludge (gallbladder) attack, which was over a year ago, and special shout out to the American healthcare system that doesn't view healthcare as a basic human right.
Ladies: Retweet this if you have ever been misdiagnosed or dismissed by a doctor who was convinced he knew more about you than you did.
Is my perspective on the health care system too bleak? Listen to @SludgePodcast for a healthy person's (very annoyed) perspective on it. #infuriatinginsteadofbleak

@skinnyd0gs @valhallabckgirl @danirat You should listen to the @SludgePodcast episode comparing the sterilization stories between a cis woman and a cis man. It’s systemic and you will hate it but you are not alone in this bullshittery
Nobody who would refuse care to a trans person has any business being in healthcare as a profession at all.
@SludgePodcast take all the time you need to 💚
HEADS UP: That podcast you ordered wherein me and my ex-boyfriend talk about getting sterilized is ready
New episode “Getting Sterilized” is out now! @caitlindurante chats with Megan Koester (@bornferal) and Allen Strickland Williams (@TotallyAllen) who have both elected to get sterilized and who had vastly different experiences! Give it a listen!
@TotallyAllen They should not be operating near your heart for a vasectomy. I think you got scammed, Allen.
