”what’s got you so happy” because 🩷 friends 🥺☺️on interner 😍☺️⭐️

just the two of us / we can make it if we try.

"You know what's harder than Getting Better? Living Like That" is just the thesis for my whole shit going on right now honestly. You know what's harder than doing my physical therapy? Hurting All The Time. You know what's harder than addressing my gender dysphoria? Hurting All The Time

I'm Doing The Hard Thing and it's *easier* than how I was living before. If you make yourself feel better you will have more energy to spend on Getting Better. Nice inch nails - the upward spiral. Crawl out of your grave Thursday

something i've noticed that has become really annoying in the past 10 years or so is this fad of what i've been calling, for lack of a better word, "structural whataboutism." it's that thing where, when faced with a concrete, resolvable problem in your community, your answer is to blame it on a vast, unsolvable issue of structural inequality and then throw up your hands. "there's trash all over the ground in this corner of the park" becomes "well, that's where MEN OF COLOR congregate after their 12-HOUR GRAVEYARD SHIFTS and i'm not going to support a CARCERAL SOLUTION to a CAPITALISTIC PROBLEM. WE NEED TO ELIMINATE POVERTY AND THE SUBJUGATION OF THE WORKING CLASS" and it's like okay but sis. someone still has to go pick up the trash. we don't need a carceral solution, we need more trash cans. you're not going to eliminate poverty and the subjugation of the working class and even if ya did, there would still be trash on the ground. how any of this passes for radicalism within their peer groups i simply don't understand. it's radical laziness more than anything else

i do wish the response to the ai water usage concern debate (umm actually the water and mineral usage is roughly equivalent to all of our other constantly growing massive distributed information systems that require enormous amounts of resource extraction etc etc etc) was less of a "haha checkmate luddites" and more of a "hmm maybe we should reevaluate our usage of constantly growing massive distributed information systems that require enormous amounts of resource extraction" but idk

um actually you can join the army at 16

but you need your mum to write you a permission slip

i honestly don't really understand why "some people prefer watching gameplay online rather than playing games themselves" is treated as such a taboo when being a spectator is considered a pretty mundane way to engage with most sports, game shows, reality tv or even just like. chess.

like the usual arguments are "not everyone can afford video games or have the software to pirate" or "you can be a fan of a game's story, but not it's gameplay" but also some people just have more fun watching other people be really good at starcraft or speedrun super mario 64, i don't think that's a particularly out of the box way to engage with the medium.

im sick and tired of seeing big floppa. im the killjoy that tells you that animal shouldnt be in a home whenever someone sends a funny exotic animal gif.

me every 5 months: oh hey wait the fucked up stuff started earlier than I thought didn't it

this is about me realising today that it was not, in fact, normal for my ex to yell at me for hours because they asked what was in the salad dressing at the Olive Garden and I said "I don't know but it's good"

I really did let my brain get pan-fried in a bunch of bullshit about how it's ableist to tell someone "it's good" about a food because autistic people are always getting told their food preferences are too specific, when I should have just been like, okay but I literally don't know what's in this. I didn't make it. the fact that I am enjoying eating it is the limit of my earthly knowledge on the subject. the Olive Garden has a fucking website though

if this post strikes the briefest note of familiarity within your soul please leave that person, I've seen the future and they do not get less exhausting
