Im honestly dumbfounded at how rude people are being to you because of that post. Honestly i found you to be absolutely in the right because of how intimate and individual one’s own personal craft can be. Research is a quintessential part of wotchcraft. I encourage some personal care time if you need, but dont let these people get to you. You are absolutely right in that regard as far as i am concerned, and i think you have a totally fair approach. You do you!🌿

Oh it’s not just that post, people are rude to me quite often. But since I delete anon hate automatically and I tend to just block people who make rude comments and then move on with my life, most of the drama doesn’t make its way onto my dash (I don’t give them the satisfaction of that). It doesn’t get to me from individual things but I think the culmination finally hit me! It’s only gonna be a week or so if I do take a break, but it’ll probably be good – force me to focus on other things besides Tumblr 😂

I think you should, we all need a break form this site from time to time beacasue of how toxic the people are so I dont blame you. Btw I hope this doesn’t come across as rude I just think you should put yourslef first.

Not rude at all, and I definitely do take breaks from time to time but it’s always helpful to have a reminder 💕 It’s important to detach from the world of toxic social media and realize there’s a bigger life out there and I should do so while my symptoms allow it. (When you’re bedridden there’s only so many forms of entertainment)

legally we don’t have Lyme in Australia because we “don’t have deer” but. we have so many deer. so we probably have Lyme and our medical officials are bullshit!

Yeahhhh….. I don’t understand why Lyme is so controversial and there’s been reports of people getting bitten by ticks in Australia, getting the Erythema Migrans rash and presenting all of the Lyme symptoms but since Lyme doesn’t exist in Australia (uwu) they obviously don’t have it. The only way it gets taken seriously is if they LIE and say they got a tick bite in a different country. It’s so ridiculous and I’m bitter with y’all. 

ALSO there have been forms of Borrelia found in ticks on other Australian fauna (kangaroos, wallabies, bandicoots) and a researcher has found ticks carrying Lyme in Australia but all of this has been omitted from studies. Deer ticks are not the only ticks that carry Lyme anyways so! [X

The documentary following the struggle of Lyme sufferers and people in the medical profession trying to prove Lyme is real in Australia: [X]

Obviously I’m not fully educated on this topic and I have never been to Australia, but it seems like far too many people are suffering and are be ignored because of some misconceptions. 

You do so much work for others it’s incredible. I can’t believe some people were rude about your post to google things first. As someone who is also chronically ill, i barely have the energy to answer my friends’ texts, often leaving them unanswered for days. I am grateful that you put so much effort answering asks and helping others. You deserve only positive energy. I hope you and your kitties have a restful day. xoxo

Thank you!! Sadly with tumblr there is a culture of finding something problematic with everything – even when it’s something that’s really minor or irrelevant. Oh I’m the same way, I think asks are slightly easier because it’s usually a “one and done” thing instead of responding = a conversation, even when you only had the energy to respond once. I really appreciate the acknowledgment and this ask! 

My kittens are currently ripping around the house and beating the shit out of each other but in about 30 minutes they’ll crash for 4-6 hours and be a cuddly, furry, happy puddle on my lap 🙂
