but honestly have there ever been two pieces of work more tethered than what happens next by max graves and wallsocket by underscores
i wish i had listened to wallsocket when it came out, and cared about it when it came out. i would have been ultra-prepared for everything that came for me after, and perhaps i wouldn’t have treated it as so unique and so hurtful, which i hate myself for

its wild the degree to which people talk about reading and eating in similar terms - the concept of a "reading diet", of "media consumption", the idea of certain stories as "empty calories" or "fast food" and some as "eating your vegetables", the moralization of both as personal failings, the framing of health with the specter of degeneration if not complied with... the idea that there are things that are sensorily pleasant and that you find yourself craving, and there are things that sustain you, and those are not the same things. the framing of literacy as reading the correct way and taking away the correct meaning from a text. according to nutritional guidelines

super excellent—compared to this a lot of the album was underwhelming (soft pop rock is always a dangerous path to go down if you want me to really love something because across the board that shit puts me to sleep these days) though i do like that she seems to be talking cues from santigold’s self-titled, the album cover honestly comes off as a bit of a reference though i could be grasping at straws. this track actually shares the least similarity with santigold but truly it’s all the better for it. instant perfect pop track
a child who is persistently alone & does not want to be alone does not learn that they on occasion have time to themselves during which they can do whatever they want, they learn that occasionally they will have time to themselves throughout which they will do nothing except exactly what they do not want to do - something that is synonymous with that duration of time. if they were being made to do some or other unpleasant thing, like hold their hand on a hot stove, that would not be synonymous with the duration of time, it would be something occupying that duration of time. when they are made ito be alone, the fact that they are alive & conscious is felt as a profound lack rather than the fundamental opportunity atop which all other opportunities are built, & the passage of time becomes something to be endured because it continually implies their continued existence & awareness. life for them then becomes organized not around exploration nor seeking enjoyment or fulfillment, but around strategies for continually enduring the fact that they exist
#on shame and Other Things That Ruined My Life: An Autobiography by hometrutharchive
opened my mouth to lie the other day and my friend cut me off before i said anything and it clicked for me for the first time what it looks like to pinpoint someone getting ready to lie before they actually lie. kind of funny how foreign that’s always felt to me when i’ve read it in a scene because it’s basically the same thing as knowing exactly what someone’s going to say before they say it, which i’m pretty good at. in fact you could argue it’s even easier. i guess i’m not especially familiar with it because i generally succeed in being honest with my close friends + my parents generally prefer to watch me choke on a lie. and when it comes to other people’s lies i’m not as concerned with the honesty of a statement (unless we’re looking at a hostile interaction with contesting opinions in which case i get meek and weepy) as i am with what the statement conveys about the person’s thoughts and feelings.

“i was born in the horns of a bull” very tethered to “i was all horns and thorns, sprung out fully formed, knocked-kneed and upright”
Guelwaar (Ousmane Sembène, 1992)
took getting high and listening to actress to understand what people are talking about when they say my new band believe is musical theatre kid music
in a society permeated by psychotherapy and psychology and psychiatry and self-help and so on and forth, many people have been to therapy, but those that haven't might have read self-help books, but those that haven't might have scrolled by a self-help post, but those that haven't have a friend that have, and so on.
examples of bad therapy-speak dialogue like: "do you want to do [x]?" "oh, sorry, i'm not sure i'm comfortable with that..." "that's, fine, would [y] work for you?" "ah, yes, probably, sorry for being difficult..." "please don't apologise this is totally valid" "<3" "<3" are conversations i have had irl. it's also, i'd say, a spontaneous mode of interaction among many people i (voluntarily) hang out with. checking in, validating, i-statements, all that.
obviously, also, we have all encountered people explaining their problems using icd/dsm diagnoses, people talking of their diagnoses, people talking of their issues using the language of psychiatry/psychotherapy, we are aware of the ubiquitousness of words like narcissism, toxic, trigger, dissociation, trauma, ptsd, my boundaries this, my feelings that, self-care. thoughtful people use this, assholes use this, friends use this, enemies use this, your boss uses this, corporations use this, advertisements use this, etc. this goes beyond gender, class, race, and background, there is no really rugged manly man left that genuinely has remained entirely untouched by this.
AS SUCH in a contemporary setting, i believe decisions must be me made not so much whether characters know (some of) these words, use (some of) these concepts, but how. would character A by the type to selfdiagnose with audhd, would character B have ever been sent to useless therapy, would character C haughtily scoff at all that but silently identify as psychopath, would character D consciously distance themselves from [psych label], would character F "misuse" [psychological term], etc. legitimately i don't think it makes sense to aim to avoid therapy-speak in a contemporary setting, or to imagine a character that would be entirely innocent of it. maybe doing so creates another fantasy, the fantasy of the "pure" the "real" the "non-artificial". where emotions and deeds are so honest, where mental illness is "real" and not "learned in a book", where characters do not preoccupy themselves with such trivial manners, where they have real problems, were encounters are raw and natural and not guided by cringe little scripts...
as for fantasy or pseudohistorical settings, it is one thing to avoid using terms like trauma, dissociation, ptsd, depression, trigger, borderline pd, because these words have no place in the setting. this is easily done. but it is another to not write what is happening according to the logic of these concepts, as learned by us. one might avoid all 'modern parlance' yet show-not-tell a flashback, show-not-tell a dissociation, show-not-tell a panic attack, show-not-tell something right out of trauma theory book. how to genuinely not conceive of this character's inner working, this character's problems and troubles following the logic of psychotherapy and psychiatry, influenced by these terms and concepts? even going "and i'm precisely NOT going to give this character this issue/this reaction" "and i'm going to make their conflict not about that" "and i'm Not going to make it about [repression/trauma/insight-as-plot-moving/etc]" is in dialogue with this. how to avoid therapyspeak in our texts and in our hearts, to truly write beyond that, in a different register altogether? this might say more about what kind of person i am and my background than it being generally true, it's hard for me to tell, but i know that personally, with my abilities and skill level, i'm not even aiming for that, i struggle to imagine what that might look like, and content myself with being as deliberate as possible in playing with the rulebooks laid out in my therapyspoken mind.

like sure go ahead and near-explicitly call your children whitewashed losers with low racial self-esteem but you’re the one who had them spend their adolescence in areas and schools with virtually no black people and virulent antiblackness. profoundly unempathetic and myopic mindset eye-em-oh.
