Living Life My Way

So how much longer are we gonna pretend "higher than normal call volume" is a thing that exists. I think its normal call volume actually and you just arent hiring enough people. I think if you experience higher than normal for a very long time its no longer higher than normal its just normal and youve failed to adjust accordingly

im really appreciating the conversations around masc pregnancy as a trans man who wants to be a dad one day, bc unless something changes for me the most efficient and simplest way for me to be a dad is through pregnancy and childbirth. and i want to live in a world where i can freely and safely do this without compromising on my own existence. this does tie in with the conversations about how many trans masculine people with uteruses face the prospect of forced detransition through pregnancy, because ultimately we all have the same need: for pregnancy care (to both continue and end it) to be degendered, for visible pregnancy to not directly equate to femininity, and for ALL pregnant people to be treated with dignity and respect and given as much bodily autonomy as possible.

I do wish we could make it a little more socially acceptable to wander the streets at night weeping inconsolably I feel like that would have a great catharsis factor for a lot of people

"incurious" still GOAT insult. You could be better but you're not. You could learn but you won't, and for no good reason, just a base dispositional apathy. Get fucked

ever think about how communications infrastructure (telegraph to the internet) being built along colonial trade routes. ever think about how its imperialism and white supremacy all the way down. ever think about infrastructure as colonial tools as media

no one would argue that telegraph wiring, electricity, and trains are inherently evil. Yet, they were tools of British imperialism in Nigeria. Same as American developments of the Philippines. The colonial sublime. Let’s think about media and communications technology as a tool that extends power and not as a self-driving weapon that no one wields. Let’s think about why I would talk about this…

every time i start to feel cringe for being too deep in the hyperfixation i remember the intense depression i have waded through and have to remind myself that enjoyment is fleeting (so grab it with both hands), and life is for loving (so hold that love close), and if anyone thinks i’m cringe they must not be having a very good time (and i hope they can find a good time soon).

one of the most annoying ripple effects of fandom culture is the way so many people can’t seem to keep it in perspective that at the end of the day they’re just talking about art. it feels like i am trapped between people who are like “if you dare criticize the thing i like you are basically personally coming into my house and stealing my dog and shooting my jewelry” and people who are like “global communism is being stopped from succeeding because steven universe is on the air.” and call me a centrist but i don’t think either of those things are true

If you stay up late to hang out with friends I don’t think you should have to be tired in the morning. I think it should be a freebie

they don't tell you this but yanderes are free you can just take them home. what are they going to do, leave you?

just grab her wrist and pull her wherever you want, it's not like she'll stop you

"terminally ill people should be allowed to choose to die if they feel it is the best decision for them" and "euthanasia can easily become eugenics" and "we should provide support for depressed and suicidal people" are statements that can come into conflict but should all be respected

also “offering euthanasia to people who can’t afford actual treatment is murder”
