My sickbay is a safe space for people of all species, races, genders, sizes, abilities, and anyone willing to behave kindly towards others. Mask up in your ongoing pandemic. Also remember to take your medicines, hydrate, and dress warmly on your alternate plane of existence. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:umgwbotr2bqnl6vnnitmyhkm/bafkreiefp5m76fhunpabsua535lutysqc2curbsisolcunhaelopku535q@jpeg)

Our combadges have an "unavailable" setting and I frequently have to remind crew to use it. Everyone needs downtime. It's not only okay for you to refuse to take calls or read social media when you need space, it's essential for your overall health. 🖤💙😷🥄

Hugs are always available in my sickbay for those who want them, especially for anyone who has been treated badly by other health care workers because of your race, weight, gender, sex, place of origin, etc. If you can get to my sickbay, I will shower you with kindness. 🖤💙😷🥄

It's impossible to "cheat" on a diet or be "guilty" of eating some foods or even to have "guilt-free" foods because food has no moral value. Eat food that works for you. Fed is best. 🖤💙😷🥄

You are allowed to refuse any social interaction that takes from you more than it gives, especially when it comes to your medical safety. Even major holidays. 🖤💙😷🥄

Everyone's limits and needs are different. Stop beating yourself up because you have health issues that other people don't have or understand. I'm proud of you for whatever you were able to do today for your own needs, within your own limits. 🖤💙😷🥄

Give yourself more breaks, more slack, more downtime. No, more than that. More still! 🖤💙😷🥄

Remember to take your meds, hydrate, wear a sweater or sunscreen as needed, mask up in your still-ongoing pandemic, and give yourself a thorough stretch before starting your social justice march. Oh, and go to the toilet before you head out! 🖤💙😷🥄

Many of you have survived a lot of medical trauma to get to where you are today. You are stronger than you think. I'm sorry you're going through this but I respect you, appreciate you, and most of all I believe you. 🖤💙😷🥄

I'm always extra proud of those of you who have kept masking throughout your ongoing pandemic without needing a rule to tell you to do it. You shouldn't need a mandate to care about yourself and others. If you stopped, start again today. 🖤💙😷😷😷😷😷🥄

Just because other people have suffered the same or worse pain doesn't mean your pain is any less for you. Your needs are valid too. 🖤💙😷🥄

Expecting disabled/chronically ill people to legitimize ableism to make the abled/health-privileged more comfortable in their failure to keep vulnerable people safe is a form of gaslighting and abuse. 🖤💙😷😷😷😷😷🥄

If your "goal weight" requires you to starve yourself and/or push your body past pain thresholds with excessive exercise, that "goal weight" is neither a healthy nor a sustainable weight for you. Reject toxic diet culture. 🖤💙😷🥄

Kindness in health care isn't a nice extra, it's an essential element in giving the patient what they need to survive. 🖤💙😷🥄

Almost nobody fakes a terrible medical condition for attention. Doctors who believe most patients are "faking for attention" should get better educated or find other jobs where this arrogant assumption doesn't harm so many people. 🖤💙😷🥄

Seeing health as a virtue is rooted in the same historical religious mindset that sees wealth as a virtue. Poverty doesn't make someone a less worthy person and disability/illness doesn't either. Healthy/wealthy folks are just lucky, not better than anyone else. 🖤💙😷🥄

One of the best ways to get people to look up to you is to help them up to wherever you are.

Your life is worth enjoying. Sometimes that means eating food someone else will tell you is "unhealthy". Should you eat foods that are good for you? Of course. Does everything you eat have to be someone else's definition of "healthy"? Hell no. Please enjoy your life! 🖤💙😷🥄

It's obscene how many of your era's medical facilities and adaptive devices for disabilities exclude people based on size. Fatphobia has no place in medicine. 🖤💙😷🥄

It shouldn't be patients' jobs to educate and/or mollify health care workers who aren't up-to-date on illness research. 🖤💙😷🥄
