friend whos always planning everything: hey guys lets do something this week!! when are you all available?

Having experienced a lot of it in my 20s, I think some of the worst, pettiest, most straight up this-is-just-bullying-you're-passing-off-as-praxis incidences of Queer Infighting endemic to young people can be best understood as attempts to exercise power by people with very little power.

I'm reminded of this post from 2017. To paraphrase, OP took part in community service via their university and part of that was cleaning the bathrooms at the local homeless community centre, which would frequently get trashed, not because the homeless people using them disrespected the work of the people cleaning them but because they had so little control over other things that happened in their lives, and the bathroom was something they could affect.

Let's say I really wanted to reduce the number of children who die in car accidents. Car accidents are really bad, right? Nobody disagrees about that. And it would be much better for both the environment and the kids' health if they spent more time walking, or taking the bus. Perfectly reasonable. More cars off the road, safer roads, fewer kids getting hurt, healthier kids. A win-win!

The thing we're about to learn in this current wave of social media bans is just how much of the infrastructure of our society we have allowed to be captured by a handful of social media companies. And thus, how much of the world we are shutting a whole demographic out of by banning it for them. If we decide as a society that we want to do this, we can't do it without building the equivalent of a robust public transit network first.

i should be allowed to psychically project all my agonies onto people who try to minimize my disabilities. oh yeah, "its not that hard"? watch this

Friede Merz möchte, dass ich, wenn ich im Strahl kotze wenn ich Licht sehe, Auto fahre, um persönlich eine AU abzuholen. Wenn ich bisher einfach ein, zwei Tage zuhause bleiben konnte um die schlimmste Phase einer Migräne auszukurieren. Das wird mich und andere gefährden und zu längeren Arbeitsausfällen führen, wenn nicht schlimmeres.
