@Kate Farms Shill I haven't cringed like that in some time. Outstanding. Approaching Pixyteri levels of weebosity.

Put. The. Fucking. Cat. Down.

It‘s not good at all to scruff a cat and that photo made me angry for it. It doesn’t make a cat go limp, it’s painful to them, and also distressing since after kittenhood it’s really only done in fighting or mating. The cat can’t retreat or hide when it’s suspended in midair and you’re taking all control away from it. Scruffing a cat can cause a fear or anxiety response and even make it lash out.

It’s not something to for the piratey photo op. Wait actually, maybe if she holds the cat a bit closer to her face.

Jema kind of looks like a Karen, especially with the pixie cut:

@Kate Farms Shill

Thanks again for an astounding cow coverage. I can't believe I just spent another two hours reading and watching every bit of info you included, this girl used to be cute in a cringe nerdy way, but it's obvious she's about to take a heavy munch. I can tell this saga is about to take a turn for the worst.

She really reminds me of shoeonhead. The #Christiantogymnasttomunchy pipeline is real...

I found someone on insta that seemed like had potential, but looks like they had done a lot of selective posting or maybe scrubbing. They came up as someone who is a low quad, but who was a para a year ago, and able to walk a year prior to that.
Started using a wheelchair as part of the usual POTS/hEDS larp, but I can figure out why she's degenerated (and it doesn't look faked), but one post mentioned tethered cord and spina bifida occulta so my munchie senses are tingling that someone has butchered her and she's ended up with acquired SCI (which worsened with another procedure).

Just curious: How old are they?

couldn't be more than early 30s, they talked about being a PhD candidate so maybe late 20s

I wonder if we're looking at the same one is she a lesbian?

no I think she had a male partner, skinny Asian that plays violin

 

[Kate Farms Shill]

Yeah someone has DMed me about that person several times. I'm not interested in timelining her but she's 2000% full of shit. No quad has that kind of fine motor control.

That's what I'm trying to figure out, because the most recent stuff looks real but possibly a bit OTT (was a post about using a nail clipper), but I couldn't parse where the violin playing fits in to the timeline. Obviously no quad, no matter how low, can play a violin lol. So I couldn't tell if it was when she was still para.
But it just ticked too many munchie boxes, including MALS and MCAS. Plus the whole "high achiever maybe finds out they're not that great at their studies and extracurricular pursuits".

 

[VagueMantis]

She‘s called Amy and she’s totally one of the fastest attention seekers to go from anorexic to medical issues,. She’s a talented proper violinist and should acknowledge this before anything else. I suggested her to you. Inconsistent rubbish content with her every post. Just curious KFS on clarification on how you determine who is timelineable and who is not? Do you have a set of standards that you look for someone? Or is it that you just won’t do her timelines bc on someone based on suggestions from other members? For everyone else, scroll way back on her account and it is only anorexic recovery content. current number 1 favorite sagas is when she “explains” how’s she still able to play violin properly and claims it bc she uses uses different muscles in her hand. It was earlier posted earlier this week and she was in the power pushchair. She got only that powered devise this week So that means it was filmed this week. She’s not even consistent in a 1 minute tiktok with her balance and contractures. Current 2nd favorite is her yeeting the bike gloves to the floor and puts on her quadraplegic gloves. I finally ended all screen grabbed content on all social platforms and just in case she does DFE. Also just in case you decide too at some point you want to do her. Too lazy and not a great writer with kids that it wouldn’t do a proper timeline.

I'm in a sappy mood from the decennial and just wanted to say this is probably my favorite thread on the site. The content here is awesome with lots of snark and the well documented dramatic arcs our munchies go on. Props to everyone.

You're very right, I went back to look and in her most recent IG post she's very inconsistent when opening a box. The reason I didn't notice was that she's a much better actor than Rose, I was looking for that level of poor fakery.

 

[A tree]

Speaking of rose! We get to meet her skinwalker inspo. Rose can magically walk now because the trach was so disappointing.

So she dresses up as a horrifying anime witch to exploit her next door neighbour for content and play matching walkers and oxygen tubes with a sick old lady.

I do not take requests because this thread is a busman's holiday for me. If I start taking requests I start feeling like I have obligations and deadlines, it feels too much like work, and it ceases being fun.

Because I already have ~30 of these in various states of completion just from my own obsessive bullshit and every time I finish one I find three other accounts I want to start. I do not need or want help finding more work to do.

Because then I can't just decide that I don't want to post it for whatever reason, which I do frequently and often for no real reason.

Because a lot of times requests come off like vendettas. I have already been tricked into being someone's attack dog in the past and I refuse to do it again.

Because sometimes they hit too close to home for me to be funny and I end up MATI and that's no fun for anyone.

Because sometimes they're too political and I don't like politics in my funny ha-ha time.

Because these girls are a dime a dozen and there's often no reason your particular pick is funnier than the ones I already found.

You, in specific, will never be getting a request filled because unlike everyone else who takes my lack of response as a response in itself, you decided to re-send the message. Clearly it had to be an oversight right? There's no way I just didn't want to do the work and didn't feel like I owed you an explanation! I should be jumping at the chance to fill this demand of yours, enthusiastically dropping everything else I'm working on so that you can get some laughs, right? So you sent it again. And when I said no, you decided to rattle my cage and bring up my real life employment and ask me a bunch of questions about shit that happened three years ago. And I still tried to be diplomatic and just say I wasn't interested when she came up in the thread and you still can't take that for an answer. So here is my answer!!! I hope this has cleared things up for you!!!!!

Ah this made me proper MATI.
That wee genuinely sick old lady reacted with such delight at seeing Rose walk, her unbridled joy at her neighbour's progress is clear.

However, she is merely part of an elaborate act, all because attention seeking Rose got bored with her trach and needed something else to validate her immediately.
I'm utterly disgusted.

I’m taking a page from the DID chicks and remembering only that old lady’s joy. Yeah, she’s being used for attention. Poor sucker alter OSHM can deal with the disgust. That poor old lady is just happy and even if it’s gross Rose making her happy for selfish content, if the old lady is the main character and Rose is just the weirdly dressed young neighbor her joy is nice.

Small update on Elias/Emilee.
They fell, went back to the hospital, and posted a bunch of photos of the dog.

I also finally watched the 37 minute video and took notes.

Spoiler

First neurosurgeon “chose not to do surgery”
Doesn’t feel pain until it’s a 7/10
Needed dilaudid and valium shot due to pain
Was “falling into psychosis” due to pain and being unable to vocalize it
Jaye had to consent to Eli being medicated a couple times
Jaye has to tell him what his pain is like because he doesn’t remember
Asks for dilaudid at 8/10
No talking at 9/10 pain
Starts aspirating and full body shaking at 9-10/10 pain
Medical trauma - needs valium for a MRI due to pain
Waking up in excruciating 8+/10 pain every morning, it’s too much to find the call button
Gives trazodone to anxious and aggressive dogs
Doesn’t experience REM sleep, gets sleep paralysis
Two discs (S1 and L5) are gone, replaced with spinal fusion and screws. L4 is mostly gone
Chance that the paralysis “doesn’t go up that high”
Asked to look at his records bc
curious, to find out what pain he is feeling
S1 extruded, free floating in spine, removed during first surgery along with most of L5 (herniated)
Did a MRI, needed to remove rest of L5 in second surgery
While under for second surgery did electrode stimulation, no rectum sphincter bladder or bowel response. No “bathroom ability” and narcotics aren't helping. Only has a tiny twitch in one thigh.
Now has had three catheters
Surgeon Wants to avoid bowel surgery and ostomy
Congenital lumbar stenosis - this was opened up a little bit, may need another laminectomy
Arachnoiditis - spine nerves attach to things (??? their words not mine)
Cauda equina syndrome - causing paralysis

• Not paraplegic, 97-99% paralyzed though
• Cauda equina causing loss of bathroom control is least likely to go away

S1-L5 is replaced with grafted spine and screws
Will be in a wheelchair for 3 months to 2 years
Needs a new car, doesn’t want to lose his business HeroicK9s
Scared of gofundme because of “bad experiences” with stalking and lying and being called a scammer
Is still going to fundraise for a new vehicle

TLDR:
Pain. Pain pain pain. Dilaudid. This was a large chunk of the video.
First surgeon "chose not to do surgery." Emilee ended up with diagnoses of congenital lumbar stenosis, extruded and herniated discs, arachnoiditis, and eventually cauda equina syndrome.
Their S1 and L5 discs are completely gone, and replaced with spine graft and fusion hardware. Their L4 is mostly gone. They are not paraplegic, just 97-99% paralyzed. They have no "bathroom abilities" and this is the least likely to recover.
They are expected to be in a wheelchair for 3 months to 2 years, and despite being "scared" of gofundme is going to crowdfund for a new vehicle anyway.

Also, he gives trazodone to anxious and aggressive dogs. He drugs his clients.

I saw that earlier today and was getting ready to share it. Was wondering why we hadn't gotten any updates.

Edit:
Rose makes me want to vomit every time I see her. Also... she lives in an assisted living facility? Immediately thought of arrested development.
