Hello! I got your message and I’ll respond shortly — I’m currently in the middle of eating a Peach, which is a delicate operation and thus I cannot type right now. Hope you understand!

speaking of hedging, one criticism i always hate that's often levelled against people doing media criticism or analysis is variations on "oh they think all their opinions are correct" yeah i'd hope so--don't understand why someone would hold an opinion they think is wrong! i hate the culture of endlessly qualifying everything you say to mollify an interlocutor who feels like your strongly held opinion is an imposition on their free will and i think nobody ought to bend to it. make your criticisms and points with your fucking chest. if you think you need my permission to disagree with me then you will die my thrall and be buried in my tomb

I've always felt an inexplicable arousal when viewing images of naked women

tbh "religious liberty" always felt like a uniquely weak reason that you should be allowed to do something. "I know it seems bad, but have you considered that I'm doing it because it's important for no reason?"

a lot of your suffering comes from treating your nature like a problem to manage instead of a design to understand

sometimes something hurts a lot and you feel like that must mean that whatever the inciting incident was must have sucked a lot for the people involved to do but! often people do things that only suck a little bit, or even do not suck at all, and it hurts a lot anyway! u can't make those people responsible for those feelings but you should feel them and not resent yourself for having them. its ok that they are big and disproportionate. its ok to not feel safe about interactions that are objectively not indicative of having lost safety. u just gotta go "that's my tragic backstory again. it was very tragic. I will feel these feelings with a trusted loved one and then process whether or not harm was actually done" and sometimes the answer is like. nope not really. sometimes harm was done! but sometimes it's important to just go ohhhh this is my tragic backstory. and you have to be nice to the tragic backstory part of you about it. but not make the other person responsible for your tragic backstory. they didn't do all that.
