silly makes the world go ‘round!!

seeing this post get a little traction and in fear of being misunderstood: this is about allowing yourself to see the irony in your own situation and a short reminder of your own agency. i know its hard but you cant wallow in being a victim of your symptoms by enabling your triggers forever (purposefully doing things you hate & hanging around online environments that just make you feel like shit). quit torturing yourself and go do something fun or talk to a friend

seeing plushies of a character you like that you dont have and cant get will inspire feelings of greed and envy in you only described in ancient stories about gods smiting people into slugs for experiencing desire

I've recently had white women in professional contexts tell me that they were quote "hurt" and "gutted" by what amounted to very minor professional faux pas on my part. I remember reading a white woman academic's essay on Jane Eyre that began with recounting her emotional upset upon having Jane Eyre "taken away from her" by postcolonial / anti-racist scholarship. white women's emotions do have currency in personal and professional spaces in selective contexts, i.e. when wielded against people of colour 🤷🏽‍♀️
