Undo The Damage Of Sitting

My Teeth Are Going To Kill Me AKA I survived catching COVID19 but I might not survive sepsis

Listen, I hate doing this. I hate revealing things about myself online but here we go. I was born with a thing called amelogenisis imperfecta, basically teeth with no enamel, extremely soft, and cavity prone.

I grew up in a poverty stricken town in the deep south, and went to the dentist one time as a kid. He suggested caps and spacers for my teeth to mitigate the damage, but the state insurance didn’t cover that, as it fell under “cosmetic procedures”, and would cost almost two thousand dollars out of pocket.

We didn’t have that. My mom was raising 5 kids. Of course we didn’t have that.

So I went through life getting cavities and having teeth snap off at the gumline. I had a tooth break while brushing my teeth (which I do with a baby toothbrush. every time I eat, I floss, I rinse, the whole nine, every day at least 4 times because debris = abscess). I’m not kidding you. This is deadly serious. My brother had the same condition, and got pericarditis from an infected molar and nearly died from sepsis. I’ve talked to dental schools, but they are unwilling to so much as go near my mouth in this condition. I have more abscesses than teeth.

It’s getting harder and harder to eat solid food.

You may think this is a scam. You may think, your teeth can’t be THAT bad! Friends, strangers, mutuals, I am about to share something with you that brings me so much humiliation and pain, in hopes that you will help me. PLEASE be kind, I know they’re an ugly sight, I know it’s terrible. Nearly each and every one needs to be pulled, and my insurance only covers 30% of the cost. Two teeth cost me 618. As horrifying as this is for me, as shame filled as I am, I ask you to spread this post as far as possible.

Warning: GRAPHIC IMAGES OF TEETH

as you can see, the situation is Bad. My teeth are Bad. Everything is Bad. I need help. Each one needs pulled, at the least, so I can get a set of dentures. My dream would be implants, but that’s simply a dream and not a possibility. I just want enough money to have each one yanked for good. Over the last 4 months I’ve been on clindamycin 3 times for the infections.

Please, for the love of whatever deity you hold dear, help me. Tag your friends, do whatever you have to, laugh at me if you want, as long as this post gets some sort of exposure because I am staring death in the face at this point.

well. it turns out the cinnamon used in them may have been laced with lead on purpose.

“What is a personal website even FOR?“

When making a personal website for the first time, you may ask yourself this!

The answer is: fucking anything. Personal websites don’t have to be “presentable” if they’re not tied to your IRL identity or whatever. Look at old captures of geocities, tripod, angelfire sites. You had dedicated single-topic sites, sure, but you also had sites that were arbitrary, slapdash little hoards of the website owner’s Favorite Things, no matter how unrelated they were.

Some suggestions:

links to your 3 favorite other websites.

an essay about how cool hydraulic engines are

a sanctuary for all your favorite images, such as memes, that you’ve collected over the years

facts about centipedes you think everyone should know

competitive hardcore sims 2 speedrunning strategies

a portfolio of your artwork, or links to other people’s artwork you enjoy

elaborate lies and hoaxes (maybe even a whole arg)

useful survival tips specific to where you come from (personal recipes, trustworthy doctors, good music venues, eats that are both good and affordable, hot goss on who’s up to what horseshit on your city council/school board/university faculty/whatever)

original fiction that noone on social media cares about because people only like and reblog about what they already know. explain your entire fictional country that you wanna put in a real novel one day.

making people not have to dig through your tags to know where to find all your dracula meta (including the shipping manifesto you wrote 10 years ago)

speaking of fandom, you know that one piece of media you love that nobody else seems to have heard of? you post into the void and nobody reblogs or likes? nothing in the tags? Yea. Built a shrine to that explaining why EVERYONE should care about it. tell me how that pirated copy of Telefang made you the human being you are today

explaining your personal philosophies on life without worrying that you will get reblogged by randos calling you cringe

just generally being fucking a weird, unrelatable, unmarketable, extremely specific ass human being

You dont know who or what this is (and im DEFINITELY not explaining soooooooo, FATHER TIME EVERBODY!

Want to consume offical submas content but don’t know where to go? Look no further than this post! I’m not perfect so I might miss some things but I hope this at least covers most of it (These are just directly copy-pasted from previous posts I’ve made in the past, but hey! I’d rather copy-paste than do hard work I’ve already done haha)

Links will be under the cut- and this post will probably be updated as Pokemon inevitably cashes in on their popularity and gives us more submas content <33
