Censoring the word "self" but not "harm" in order to make a weird pseudo-buddhist statement about consciousness to an audience of ex-christian atheists and people from Portland USA

i have a personality flaw that always positions me on the side of characters who are hiding everything and refuse to accept help. like do NOT confide in people. confiding in people is the enemy. REAL winners lie and lie and continue lying until they ruin every single thing theyve got going for them & didnt fix a single goddamn thing. keep digging grandpa youre almost there

we’re so lucky that gilgamesh survived and is a banger. can you imagine if we found the oldest written human story ever recorded and it sucked balls.

Friend trying to steel my resolve a few months ago: "She was never on your level you know, and you need someone who is. Like, could you have a conversation with her about that french feminist intellectual you always talk about, what was her name, Char Aznable?"

I've recently had white women in professional contexts tell me that they were quote "hurt" and "gutted" by what amounted to very minor professional faux pas on my part. I remember reading a white woman academic's essay on Jane Eyre that began with recounting her emotional upset upon having Jane Eyre "taken away from her" by postcolonial / anti-racist scholarship. white women's emotions do have currency in personal and professional spaces in selective contexts, i.e. when wielded against people of colour 🤷🏽‍♀️

Can't believe i have to say this but no matter what we can NOT let that suffering child out of the basement, no matter how much you might want to. They would honestly be better off figuring out how to get out on their own, right?

The journey out of the basement is so so important we can't disrupt that right?

long distance friends pets feel like celebrities because you can only be parasocial with them
