When we choose to avoid history because it's Problematic or Says Bad Things, we are choosing to divorce ourselves from understanding how we came from that time to this one, which makes it even more likely for the cycle to repeat, with no one but a few people with shelves of old books aware that it's happened before.

also like do you think your unproblematic fave of today is going to be that tomorrow? that social mores and what's reasonable or even progressive won't change?

your strengths are harder to see than your weaknesses because the problems you're good at solving don't appear as problems, because you're so good at handling them before they become problems... unlike the relatively rare problem that becomes a crisis, which demands undue attention. it's sort of like a reverse survivorship bias. the problems that become noticed as problems, the moments where you notice your capacity has a gap, are only the ones that aren't cut off at the pass by your strength and capability, before they become problems. so if all you focus on is problems then all you'll see is your weaknesses. which isn't accurate

Im CRYING WTF

my most Millennial trait is that i want big screen to think properly. to compose my thoughts. app exists for your thing but no website? bad bad bad not good for think, need big screen for think. i wrote this post on the small screen btw

common advice for social anxiety is to tell yourself "people aren't going to think less of you just because you said something a bit daft" but the thing is. sometimes they will. and you just have to learn to be cool with that and to treat it as a dnd random encounter rather than letting it ruin your whole day

Alright your Discord avatar and tumblr avatar are locked in a closet for 7 minutes ala 7 Minutes In Heaven. What happens

i saw this somewhere else but reply / tag what you did today so everyone can see that we all did something different today

"Not dating or having sex isn't even a source of discrimination in real life-" How many rights and benefits are tied up in marriage contracts though? How much of our economic and societal structure is built with the clear expectation that people couple up and support each other? Where's the security nets and affordable options for people who will never have a partner/spouse to take care of them? How many people save serious commitment only for people they have a romantic and sexual relationship with? How many people will unquestionably prioritize their sexual and romantic relationship above all other social connections in their lives? And where does that leave the people who don't want that at all, ever?

Diva alert ⚠️

the problem is i really do love staying up until one billion o'clock. it just cant be helped

"Du bist immer so jähzornig, sei mal professioneller" sagt die Person, die a) jedem mit ihrer Art auf die Nerven geht, b) aus Unsicherheit immer alles als persönlichen Angriff versteht und c) sich noch nicht ein einziges Mal hinter mich oder wenigstens meine Fähigkeiten gestellt hat. Ja, äh, versteh ich auch nicht 🤡

oh ja, und wenn ich am Ende dieses Gesprächs - bei dem es eigentlich darum gehen sollte, wann und wie ich hier die Übergabe mache und endlich aus diesem Funkloch und einem Projekt rauskomme, in dem ich nichts gestalten, sondern nur noch ausführen darf, insbesondere deine dämlichen "Anregungen", weil du dir noch immer zu fein bist, dir die Hände selbst schmutzig zu machen oder zu lernen, wie man eine Datei scannt - ein bisschen pikiert gucke, statt dir freudestrahlend für deine super Personalführung zu danken, wunderst du dich???
