Healthy people enjoy the privilege of bodies that work in the ways that they expect, free from regular pain or suffering, without extraordinary effort. Healthy privilege allows healthy people to assume that their experience is ‘normal’, and to be unaware that coping strategies that work for them will not work for someone dealing with illness. Someone who is casually looking at you might not be able to see the level of pain you experience. And they probably don’t understand the effort that goes into a ‘normal’ day. They don’t see or understand because they have some degree of Healthy Privilege.”

I’ve ordered a few overseas items online since living here, but they have all been below 1万円. I just ordered a photographic accessory from Europe that costs 37,000 before shipping, and am wondering what I can expect in customs fees, and what is the payment process like? It’s coming via DHL express service. Do they handle the customs processing?
Just got a box full of 携帯トイレ from Minato ward. Was really surprised, but seems they are handing it over to each household, and each box sent by courrier… Like this is where all that tax money is going 😂
Those green stink bugs are really kicking my arse this year. I live on a high floor and still have 3 or 4 of the little rascals on my balcony at any one time lol😭
Man why do people try to shoot their shot mid week, when I am very clearly on my way home from work with bloodshot eyes from staring at a pc for 8 hours straight. And then have the audacity to huff when I say im going home. Like at least I’m conversing and not yelling at you to leave me alone. Gotta always be when I’m disheveled and feel dead too.
