I support the "fiction isn't real so nothing matters" mindset but tbf at a certain point it can tip over into "the curtains are just blue" territory

like yes actually there is a conversation to be had about how a characters actions are framed and how they thematically fit with the rest of the story and it can in fact reflect the author's beliefs. some authors are even trying to make a point

not all depiction is glorification but sometimes it is and you need to be able to tell the difference. not because your immortal soul will be tainted by reading The Bad One, but because you need to have reading comprehension skills

It would kill half the 19-25 year olds online to realize "I can't help it I have trauma" is one of THE quintessential abuser excuses

Like there is a difference between "My trauma creates impulsive urges and has changed my instinctive reactions to be irrational, I need to relearn shit." vs "I'm traumatized so I Can't Help It and you're not allowed to expect better of me"

Yes? Domestic abusers have significantly higher rates of suicide that than the general public? Mind you, this study was fairly limited because most of the research goes into the suicide rate of victims of domestic violence and not perpetrators and I kept finding studies on suicide in victims, not studies on suicide in perpetrators. Gathering data is probably complicated by the fact a significant portion of these abusers are not interested in identifying themselves and some kill themselves before investigation/conviction.

I saw someone say that they think that aces should vet all the people they follow to see what they said about aces and aros in 2016. I haven't done that quite yet but instead searched "ace discourse" on a few very popular blogs. Yeah out of the big ones I've checked, only 1 I haven't blocked. Aphobia is alive and well and has been for 10 years.

Update: went through literally everyone I follow (it's easier to keep track that way) and did have to block a few :/

social dysphoria really is bad when you have no gender that is recognized by society.

limbus is so funny cause it’s got me saying shit like “I hope Penelope is a woman”. I wonder what that must sound like to people outside the fandom

I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.

posting this with every artist tag i can think of, even if you dont do crochet, PLEASE TAKE RESTS FOR YOUR HANDS!!! no matter what medium artist you are, take care of your articulations

People love natives in such a superficial way. People wanna stand with natives when we’re talking about the trees, and the land. People wanna stand with natives when we talk about philosophies of love and togetherness. But as soon as it’s time to talk about political side of being native. About dismantling a system built on the genocide of our people. About how we need a new system that isn’t built upon capital gain and benefitting white bodies. About putting up a fight. About how the colonial state we reside in is a disgusting imperial plague on this land. Suddenly y’all don’t wanna talk native.
