Weird is as weird does.

#here I was thinking she's gonna ruin that book #absolute divine art #literally do not judge a book by its cover #gorgeous

#almost 45 # just lost my partner of 19 years # we weren't married #dont think I'll ever marry #its just not an important thing to me #i spent over half my life thinking I'd never be allowed to marry #so it just never seemed like a thing to care about

You're just a mammal. Let yourself act like it. Your brain needs enrichment. Your body needs rest. You feel hunger and grow hair. You need to pack bond with other sentient things so you don't become unsocialized and neurotic. You are biologically inclined to seek dopamine and become sick when chronically stressed. "Hedonism" is made up to place moral value on taking pleasure in sensory experiences. I am telling you that if you don't let yourself be a fucking mammal, as you were made, you will suffer and go insane. No grindset no diets no trying to be above your drive for connection. Pursue what makes you feel good and practice radial rejection of the constructs meant to turn you into a machine. You're a mammal.

I am so serious about the way people are taught to view themselves as separate from and above any other animal being the root cause of a lot of problems. You're not better than a beast.

At the lesbian meetup, met a kind of transphobic woman. Started gearing up to get fighty and then realised... she wasn't an actual terf. She was just older, genuinely didn't know stuff, had heard some terf talking points in passing and had been made kind of anxious by them, but hadn't made it her entire personality. She was open to learning that trans women weren't actually roaming around coercing unwilling cis lesbians into sex, thanked me earnestly for giving her a basic explanation of what "non-binary" meant and truly seemed to be relaxing bit by bit the more she heard. Obviously I'm aware that I can't be sure I've given her a sufficient dose of anti-transphobe vaccine to immunise her permanently against the shit that's out there, but overall it made me hopeful. Most people just aren't dyed-in-the-wool bigots. People can be curious and relieved to hear the fearmongering they've been exposed to is untrue. Telling people this stuff isn't a lost cause.

#I was all for this # then the op ruined it # oh please younger people save us poor old ignorant people from ourselves # how did we survive without yall # you're so much smarter and we're so fricking stupid #yeah no # screw these lil punks # this is why nobody listens # these kids have the right idea # unfortunately nobody wants to listen to a 12 year old tell them they're so stupid and don't worry us superior young people will fix you# the world will never change #this is so sad how bigoted the younger generations have gotten and don't even see it
