    terminal patients

    Not to be rude, but maybe we shouldn’t be waiting to be saved by people who are literally struggling and in pain. What a fucking coddled ass attitude. “I’m comfy, I need someone who isn’t comfy to step up and fight for me so I don’t have to stop being comfy!” God damn it fuck that shit.

    I wake up every morning in pain. I’m exhausted all day every day, chronic fatigue is a normal thing with cancer. I used to love that I never had headaches and I always felt bad for people who did, now I get blistering migraines where I have to hide from any and all light because I can’t open up my eyes without them watering to where I can’t see from pain. I don’t even have a fucked up cancer where I need chemotherapy and a port in my chest.

    With all due fucking respect (read: none), I’m suffering, they’re suffering, maybe one of you able bodied motherfuckers should step up for us for once, for fucks sake.

    We all have everything to lose in the face of fascism, don’t expect people who have already lost everything to really want to step up and save people who never lifted a fucking finger for them and who stand around waiting for those who are suffering the worst to step up.

    The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

    Guess what, evil has already triumphed, which means we’ve had generations of “good men” doing nothing.
