1. I want to not have a headache. I need better health.
2. I want AO3 to not be down for maintenance right now. I need entertainment when I have pain and dysfunction.
3. I want to not have to worry about whether I’m communicating clearly enough to overcome other people’s bad—faith takes and will to misunderstand me. I need to not be judged by people whose brains don’t work like mine.
4. I want Mom to stop smoking. I need to worry less about her and it not reassuring at all that she has to be on blood thinners bc she won’t give up nicotine.
5. I want to have a fancy TENS unit that can give my body sensations to a doctor ( @or other third parties) for the purpose of getting them to believe me about medical bullshit. I need people who disregard how much I hurt or how tired I am to have to put up or shut up.

Date: 2025-07-05 03:19 am (UTC)Mind you, I am so AO3 obsessed (partly because of health issues meaning I have more time than most, to be fair) that I compile lists of “fics to be read” which are about 700 long ( and all over 20k words) so my experience may be abnormal. (The month I read least in this year, I still read over 3 million words, so. Yeah. I don’t have textbooks to read, so 100k of AO3 fics is a slow day.)
