A play of FRANKENSTEIN where they hired all short actors so your eye read everyone as average height, then a very tall man as Frankenstein’s monster, so the audience RECOILED in horror from the jarring sight! Later I chatted up a tall guy in the bar next door then went ‘WAIT! YOU ARE THE MONSTER!’

“If you’re really that sick you should be in the hospital” Please stop saying this to chronically ill people. If we went to the hospital every time we suffered, we would live there. Hospitals can’t help us and they often make us worse. We are on our own, and being subtly gaslit doesn’t help.
