oh this phrase is not going to leave my mind for a solid week at least. obsessed with this collection of words

le doohickie in question btw:

Sometimes I have what I call "New Towel Blindness," which is basically where I forget I'm an adult with adult money that I can exchange for goods and services I would like, like say new towels instead of continuing to use my grandparents' hand-me-down towels they gave me when they downsized and I was in college.

At my previous apartment I spent months plugging in my bedside lamp every night and unplugging it the next morning because using the nearest plug made the cord stretch across the middle of the room. Then I remembered extension cords exist and I went and got one for $5 and it was great.

it’s okay to do things that make your symptoms worse (as long as you’ll stay safe)

This is called Dignity of Risk, and it's an important concept in disability justice.

One thing I can’t stop thinking about is:

i feel like turning the torture scene in the finale into a louis fan vs armand fan thing is a very fandom-focused perspective to take that ultimately trivializes the very real racism of the writers and production behind it. like, the roles of both characters in that scene are obscenely racist. having louis, a black man, be brutalized and forced to take blame and apologize for abuse done to him is horrific. it’s also incredibly offensive to have a south asian, implied muslim, character be cartoonishly evil by spilling the blood of his victims (louis and regina) in a jewish butcher shop

I made the right choice in changing my url away from danlous. This season Daniel betrays Louis multiple times, calls him a bucket of fried chicken, is for some reason mad at Louis for 'stalking' him even though he already knew that in s1, participates in beheading Louis, goes along with Armand taking him away to torture and/or kill him, and is seemingly so indifferent towards Louis and his suffering that he doesn't even mention him when he's bowling and whining. Daniel is a piece of shit, yes, but the previous seasons also established that him and Louis have a genuine bond and they do care about each other. This season was so obsessed with degrading Louis that they had to erase all his meaningful relationships. They can't accept anyone valuing and loving Louis

This might be my favorite

This is mine
