What’s Your Damage?

I can’t begin to express the difference it makes just that I’m able to wear exclusively t-shirts, baggy shorts, and flip-flops. And the thing is, right. What you notice is that I’m wearing something slightly odd for the weather. What you don’t notice is that I’m not curled up with my hands clamped over my ears because socks make the clinking plates in the restaurant too loud.

something i've also noticed - some people get SO pissed when mentally ill people who have actual trauma from forced institutionalization and have had their issues used as an excuse to deny them basic autonomy criticize psychiatry. yes, even other mentally ill people who are supposedly against ableism. I don't give a fuck if you feel "invalidated" because I said literal children should not be heavily medicated and locked up due to what is identified as mental illness--and it's ALWAYS people who haven't experienced these things that argue with you because their personal experience wasn't bad, as if that dismisses the rampant abuse in psychiatry, especially towards people with a more stigmatized diagnosis!!

perpetually annoyed by character criticism that is just “is this character sympathetic? is this character relatable? does this character get an ending they ‘deserve’ (as it correlates with their own moral goodness)?” so what if they’re unsympathetic. so what if they’re unrelatable. so what if they are made suffer. so what if they’re a symbol. they’re not real! fictional characters are tools in a story, like setting, or tropes, or tone, or style, or pacing, or medium. they are a figment, a fragment. they are not human beings, and they do not exist in a real life moral framework. this is not good analysis. ask better questions.

The eradication of adobe flash dress-up games directly led to the creation of NFT's.

Sure. I’ll incorporate that into my world view

unrequited love for siblings is the saddest thing you could ever portray on its own but over the garden wall said what if the kid is like the sweetest most kindhearted five year old you could imagine and he loves his brooding wistful bitch of an older brother sooo so much and enough to offer up his life in exchange for his brothers when his older brother saw him this whole time as just an annoying step sibling at best and a nuisance at worst and you cant be too mad cause hes also a kid and then when he finally figures it all out it saves them both, the decision to leave lethargy and the rot of melancholy behind and take the love he already has as proof the world is worth it after all and aaa a a. aaaaaa. aaaaaaa. aaa. what a sweet story. what a lovely thing.
