I think the most damage this site has done to me is making me think "It's fucken wimdy" when it is, in fact, fucken wimdy outside.
I taught one of my ranching buddies “it fucken wimdy” and now he says it around his older more established ranching buddies
The exhilaration I get- upon hearing an old rancher (I’ve never met before) in cowboy boots and a cowboy hat while on a horse, grimly saying “it fucken wimdy” in a thick west Texas accent as he looks down upon his cows- is incalculable

I actually do think it’s better for abusers and abusive characters to realize the harm their past actions caused and seek to do better than be literally or metaphorically executed for their crimes

Reading comprehension test:
1. Does OP mention an obligation on victims to forgive abusers who have learned from their past actions?
2. Does OP mention any work on the part of victims to educate their abusers?
3. Is there any mention of “redemption” or “forgiveness” at all in this post?
Something about how society cares more about punishing the wicked than about making the world a better place, and how many people really struggle to shake that.

do you want a warm, weighted, vibrating plushie that acts like a heat seeking missile and intermittently stabs you? What I have just described to you is Felis catus and there is a dark secret to it
Come closer... learn my secret...
it really is kind of interesting how attached people are to the idea of the improvised line and the genuine reaction in film. nearly every single famous moment or line has some sort of claim floating around that it wasn't in the script and was either made up on the spot by an actor or was sprung as a surprise on the actors to get their 'real' reaction. you know, sometimes people do come up with good lines in advance and write them down, and sometimes people can pretend to be have a convincing emotional response on screen
this actually does go hand in hand with the reverse; the idea that everything from start to finish is meticulously planned and indeed the crystalised intent of a single author. this is not even true for books and becomes increasingly less true for films and especially tv shows, which are universally the products of constant shifts, additions, reinterpretations and reconstructions. it shouldn't be underestimated the degree to which, for example, an actor can alter a film not by making up a new line but by giving a different performance of a line then originally envisioned, or how many books only find a shape in editing, etc

it’s weird that professional letters are supposed to start with “dear.” i don’t even call my mom that
my darling hiring manager. my springtime rose. if hired i will bring a strong work ethic to this position
Discussions on Netflix's live action atla have made think about how much bite these characters have and I'm specifically thinking about Suki and Sokka
I feel like Suki is so often misrepresented and under appreciated as a character and a match for Sokka
Sokka and Suki are both warriors, both analytical, tactical, they are both leaders, and they've both been put into roles of huge responsibility at young ages
But while Suki has a whole village as back up, Sokka is basically "the man of the house" for a whole village. He's from a sexist culture that doesn't believe women can be warriors (unless they are water benders - making the southern water tribe less sexist than the northern) and he's been in charge of looking after the "women and children" even while he himself was a child
So when he meets Suki, a woman and a child, he immediately assumes the role he's always had, and has to learn when Suki shows him, no, I am just as much as a warrior and leader as you are, and you are just as much as a child as I am
And then her village burns down, and she experiences a trauma similar to what Sokka has, which brings them even closer as characters but, importantly, he had already learned to see her as an equal before then
Suki is definitely the most well-rounded of the characters- she doesn't have Sokka's arrogance, Aang's naivety, Katara's anger, Toph immaturity - she is what happens when a child is given consistent love and support (in no small part to luck since the earth Kingdom became a target later than the water tribes, and had better defenses)
But she's still her own person with her own opinions and it's because she is so sure of herself that she is so interesting with Sokka!
And their relationship is actually really awesome!
And I don't know why I'm feeling so passionate about a character who wasn't even my favourite growing up, or even rewatching, I like her, but she's always come after other characters but I dunno, she's important to me right now and I think she deserves better both from official sources and fandom ones
More from that one post
“Then he (Caesar) came into Alexandria after Pompey was slain, and detested Theodotus that presented him Pompey’s head, and turned his head aside because he would not see it. He took his seal, and beholding it, wept.” —Plutarch
A little conversation between Caesar and Pompey. They make me so ill.

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.
When we bought our car, I told Sean to let me handle it. I walked in and said "We have X for a down payment and cannot pay more than Y in monthly payments." My Y number had some leeway, but I didn't mention that.
First thing the sales guy did after I laid down the rules was turn to Sean and go, "What's your number?" And Sean said. "Oh, no, you negotiate with Gayle."
So, strike one for the sales guy. Could not divide and conquer us by implying THE MAN would not surprised at what I laid down.
Sales guy then had to confer with his manager and left us at his desk for several minutes. I have a vague recollection (this was 16 years ago) of Sean and I amusing ourselves doing bits about the other people there to look at cars. I am sure we did not give off the stressed or nervous energy they were hoping for.
Guy comes back. His first offer is fifty dollars a month more than I told him we could pay. I looked at him and said "I gave you our upper limit."
"Well, but what's another 50 bucks a month?"
"Something I can't afford."
He didn't know what to do with my open and unashamed admittal that I had a budget because my money was finite.
He went back to talk to the manager again.
It took two more rounds of "I told you what I can afford" before he finally came back 20 bucks under what I'd stated as my max.
The trick to resisting high-stress sales tactics is doing the math at home, knowing exactly what you can afford, and then walking into the room and stating that number minus 15%. Then refusing to budge from that number. Never, ever, meet then where they want. Always meet them where you want. Because at the end of the day, you can walk away and go somewhere else and say "I told the people at Z what my terms were, and they refused to work with me. Here are my terms. Meet them, and you make a sale today."
I have been a salesperson. I tried very hard to make a living selling life insurance. I read all the books and failed many, many more times than I succeeded. In the end, I went into education, where the sales pitch is much more agreeable (do your homework and I'll give you a better grade).
Lemme tell you that sales people are like the fae folk in the old tales.
They are beholden to the magic number 3. Refuse a sales pitch three times and they are trained to give up. They are trained in many ways to "redirect a refusal", but three refusals means it's time for them to give up.
They cannot enter your home without your permission. But once given in any form, permission is tough to claw back.
They truly fear a failed deal. Sale folk feed on the magic of forging contracts. If they cannot meet their quota, they will starve.
Their deals are never symmetrical. Somehow, it's always weighted in their favor, usually in inscrutable ways.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
the idea that predators and abusers are an ontological category of person, rather than everyone having the capacity to be predatory and abusive, leads to people having no regard for boundaries because they think that predation only comes from evil people ™
be proud of ‘small’ achievements that are big for you as a disabled person. share them with trusted people, share them online, write them in your journal or your notes app. forge a space for yourself. don’t shrug your successes off just bc they don’t look like much to abled people.
