A Cloak of Elvenkind

Wild caught clownfish will be like ‘hm you see, the anemone you got me is a slightly different color and tentacle width than the one I had back home, so I will not begin hosting it. I’ll be a sort of wandering ronin for the rest of my days.’ And then a captive bred clownfish will be like ‘ok so I have this curved rock I found and I just sit above it and it take care of me 👍’

Last time this came around I showed my three year old and he said "He's little like me!" and stared for a whole minute (v. Long in toddler time).

y'know i don't really love how people use "butch" interchangeably with "handy"

Fellow white people did you know there's this cool youtube hack where you go out of your way to watch videos made by Black people. And suddenly your video recommendations will have loads of cool new channels. And then you realise youtube was literally hiding videos made by Black people from you because they assumed you wouldn't be interested

you dont get it. if you die in music you die in real life

Inability to cope with humiliation (personal humiliation, gendered humiliation, cultural/historical humiliation, etc) is pretty much the tipping point for when you become an unhinged freak incapable of experiencing positive emotions, strong relationships, and proportional responses to anything. You become hopelessly fixated on correcting the humiliation, except you can't really do that without a time machine, so it just becomes an endless, borderline Sisyphean obsession as the more decoupled you become from consensus reality and norms of polite behavior the more humiliations you experience. The only other people who understand you enough to tolerate you are other lunatic people with similar chips on their shoulder who tell you you're doing a great job, funneling you further down this path until you can't so much as see like, clipart on a flyer without deriving a nightmarish Rorschach interpretation involving wholly imagined political implications, all the while convinced you're a Warrior For Your Kind

Guys I'm not saying the answer is "become immune to humiliation," "become impossible to humiliate" etc., this is a natural thing that will happen to everybody at some point in their lives, I'm saying learn to handle your bad feelings and discomfort instead of stewing over it until you let resentment consume you
