I Dream Of Home Worlds Far Away

person in the middle of Feels Bad Time: "wow i wonder why i feel bad. must be my irredeemable nature"

If your system doesn't account for the fact that Parents Are Going To Be Abusive/Neglectful/Insufficient then it objectively sucks I'm sorry I don't make the rules

Monitored bank accounts for those under 18. Requiring parental consent for medical procedures. Parental controls on personal devices. "We won't teach this at school because parents are supposed to address it at home." Anything that puts all of the child's power onto the parents' hand, anything that assumes parents are going to inherently do enough of a good job no one else needs to interfer, every single one of these IS going to be used by controlling, neglectful or unprepared parents and already are, and if the system did not account for that very real, tangible, dangerous tendency, then it's not worth fucking anything. You shouldn't make things "for the youth"/with children in mind if you are going to overlook this painfully common aspect of their lives u_u

Fuck Ozempic, man. The near-total loss of all fat and chubby celebrities all becoming thin over the course of no time is monumental. Especially all the ones who were outspoken fighters for body positivity and acceptance. And the fact that it's now the fashionable thing to be skin-and-bones-thin in Hollywood again is sickening

masculine energy this feminine energy that. well i’m out of energy

need me some of this "renewable energy" I keep hearing about

Like c'mon, in allergy spaces fooda with allergens are literally referred to as trigger foods and you've still got "mental health activists" online insisting that you can only say you've been triggered by something if you have PTSD. That isn't advocacy for traumatized people, it's ableism that is stealing important language from EVERYONE.

this disability pride month lets be kinder to folks with moral ocd . no more “if you really care about this minority , you’ll reblog this post” , “someone will die if you don’t reblog this” , etc etc , and all other kinds of guilt tripping reblog bait . at the VERY LEAST tag your reblog bait so we can filter it out and avoid unnecessary spirals . it’s 2026 , we need to move past using guilt to get engagement .

And if you're thinking "but how else will I get engagement," you should know that this strategy is not only ableist but also infective activism. Rage bait and shame bait work very briefly and then make people burn out and avoid the subject. Long-term change comes from hope bait. Environmental movements are learning this and the rest of y'all need to catch the fuck up if you wanna get anything done.

i hate how i can’t articulate how i feel or i risk sounding insufferably edgy.

May the thing you were stressing about resolve itself quietly in your favor.

Actually, you are enough. Even if you don’t work. Or study. Or go out. Or have friends. Or have family. You’re enough because you exist and your existence is enough to be enough because you are not a product. You are not a sum of output. You are not a task to complete. But because you are something the universe wanted and put here even if you’ll never understand why. Somewhere in the cosmos your existence makes a difference, even if it’s not the way others existences do.

Happy disability pride month pride to people with degenerative, progressive, and terminal conditions. I know the future can be terrifying but I am glad you are still here now.

a lot of people on social media are very cruel about the literacy crisis of course I think everyone should not just read more but read things that challenge them... but when had shaming and mockery ever made you want to do something you're being made fun of for not doing? i don't think you actually care I think you're just glad to have an acceptable target to feel intellectually superior over

it’s never a normal temperature anymore it’s always some fucking bullshit

you live in a society, i live in my mind 

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

The west has always loved to pretend that people in the "evil" countries (e.g. the USSR) need western culture to be free
