Charlie Rivera Reddit Post: Still Here, Still Pressed

“Still Here, Still Pressed” was a public Reddit reply posted by Charlie Rivera from the widely recognized u/CharlieSax4Life account after an ableist commenter treated his vomiting and collapse as spectacle. The response became one of the Riveristas’ most frequently repeated Charlie posts and later supplied the line used on community merchandise.

Post

hi. hello. i’m the vomiter in question.

just wanted to let you know i threw up again this morning after reading your comment.

unrelated, but deeply poetic.

i am not a spectacle.

i’m just a person.

a very sick person who sometimes sparkles and sometimes collapses and always has a ginger chew in my pocket.

anyway. i’m still here.

and you’re still pressed.

we are not the same.

Later Use

“Still here. Still pressed. We are not the same.” became a Riverista slogan and appeared on merchandise associated with Charlie’s Reverie brand and fan community.
