all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.

Having someone ask ChatGPT in a meeting is like being a grown-ass professional adult in a room full of other grown-ass professional adults trying to solve a problem, while a colleague with one of those baby toys that makes animal sounds repeatedly presses the cow button. And we all have to stop what we're doing and listen to cow go moo and say "wow hm yeah that's not really what we're asking but the cow does definitely go moo, good thoughts"

Except increasingly the cow is being treated as a respected contributor to meetings as we pivot to a moo-centric business model that principally produces bullshit

I MISSED THESE GOOBERS SO MUCH

having undiagnosed autism as like an elementary schooler is like “hi!!!! i love everyone and want everyone to be my friends!!!! :D” and then everyone is really fucking mean to you constantly for reasons you can’t even begin to comprehend

What helped me write trauma better is remembering that the nervous system learns predictions. If danger used to come after quiet, calm can feel threatening. If kindness used to come with a price, kindness can feel suspicious. So healing is not just “they know they’re safe now.” Healing is the slow, annoying, deeply unfair process of teaching the body that the old prediction is not always the present truth.

i do think we should normalise being like. platonically enamoured with someone. perhaps i love and admire you dearly and there's nothing romantic about it

i've had this post muted basically since its inception because people are so annoying on posts like this but every once in a while i look through the tags and comments and i'm so proud of everyone who is saying stuff like "i recently managed to include a new vegetable in my diet" or "this mindset made me start practicing dental hygiene more often" or "i'm trying to walk more and i'm not doing it every day but i'm doing it" I'M PROUD OF YOU!! EVEN IF A POSITIVE CHANGE IS SMALL IT IS STILL POSITIVE! DOING SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME IS STILL DOING IT!!!!

ironically enough, bringing a plushie to a public setting as an adult requires a tremendous level of emotional development, and attempting to shame an adult for having a plushie in public requires a significant amount of immaturity. this applies to a surprising number of things.

I also enjoy video of this man’s dead wife

The glare from the sun occasionally obscuring her face does kinda make me think that the viewer is struggling to remember her

The immediate cut to the most dead wife video ever took me out lmao
