I AM SICK

(it's not COVID) I woke up like this.

Not pictured: Headache, runny nose, sore throat.

The "addicted to being sad and sick" article is quite harmful, characterizing spoonies as people (mostly women) who overemphasize and obsess over their chronic conditions.

This is a misogynist and ableist trope, the idea that woman are lying about their conditions for attention. Haters have found this post and y'all get blocked immediately. Why? Because women facing discrimination in health care is a known thing (and the effect is compounded by race, disability, etc.) and blaming women for being "overemotional" about how they're treated is misogyny.
