I need sleep to do battle again tomorrow

my brain, stomping it’s feet: i wanna use one inconsequential negative experience to spiral into an echo-chamber of self hatred!!!

I think an important thing to remember when you're on tumblr is that having a good comeback does not make someone Right. like, a clever one-liner is not a stand-in for an actual logical argument. even if on the surface it seems to address whatever they're opposing, there's probably quite a lot of nuance being glossed over by nature of it being a one-liner, and the thing they're opposing is probably being taken in at least somewhat bad faith by nature of this being a witty comeback.

I WANT TO LOOK AT THINGS MADE BY HUMAN BEINGS

I WANT TO LOOK AT THINGS MADE BY HUMAN BEINGS

wordle in 1: joyless. it is statistically inevitable that your go-to starting word will be the solution one day, and this is no more of an accomplishment than running a random number generator once a day until it gives you "1"

ANOTHER THING I want from Season 3 of High Potential is an episode where Daphne and Oz are the leads, as if the show were about them. They're solving the case of the week and Karadec and Morgan are clearly up to some sort of shenanigans in the background that we never really get a clear picture of.

Big announcement:

people need to talk about socially acceptable abuse more. it's literally why we're a system. the spanking that people refuse to believe is physical abuse when there are multiple studies showing it affects kids just as much as any other type of physical abuse. the way a parent might talk down to their kid their entire life and make them feel like they cant make any choices themself or be independent that they only notice when someone else points out how their parent(s) talk too and about them. the parentification of the oldest kid(s) when they have a single parent. the unnoticeable praise towards the "easy" child that all the other children pick up on. the neglect the "easy" child has to go through. a kid being punished for going to their parent(s) when they mess up and need help. not being taught how to clean or cook or do laundry or even how to wash certain parts. it all destroys a kid and it was all socially acceptable in my family and in the communities i grew up in.
