discipula amoris

nothing is real and then all of a sudden everything is very real with no warning

I need a polite and effective way to say "hey your heart is truly in the right place and your anger is often righteous but I think sometimes you’re getting recreationally mad about things that are frankly not worth the amount of energy you’re spending on them, and every time you do this you're driving yourself slightly more insane with nothing to show for it," and then I need a way to broadcast that message through a loudspeaker to roughly 30,000 people at once, and THEN I need a time machine to send that message to my past self lol. and maybe a second time machine in case past me tries to be clever and sabotage the version of me who comes through the first time machine

Personally I think "if you aren't angry you aren't paying attention" has done a lot of damage to the next generation

Agreed. "You should be angry about everytbing in the world at all times, and if you don't advocate all the right causes de jour 24/7 you're a bad person" is a terrible message for developing brains. It makes me think of sometbing my niece said something like that recently. "They're just trying to prepare us for the misery of adulthood." And when I probed, it turned out her first example was having a job. I gently pointed out there has never been a time where the majority of people did not have to work, and furthermore expecting the world to provide you with food, electricity, Internet, plumbing and sewage, etc, while giving nothing back isn't exactly a kind expectation. She had to stop and think about that one. I think saying you should never be happy unless living in an unattainable utopia of leisure with all the world's problems solved is not good for anyone's mental health, put bluntly.

“Do dishes” and “take out trash” both require the use of a spell slot, vs “use phone” is a cantrip, and brother, I am a level one wizard

i need to get off tumblr i’m at the aquarium admiring the fish and my brain goes “posts that make you want to get in the water” what are you talking about. these are live fish in the room with you. what post.

hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.

"all you ever do is complain" that's not true. I also resent.

the issue with growing up in the 2000s and 2010s was like there was this really big push toward "accepting your weirdness" overall but they meant like idk wearing mismatched socks or something not being tangibly beyond the norm in any way shape or form

a small thing i learned from my sister dying is that i really would rather the people i love be a burden than be whatever the hell else they'd be if they weren't. yes even if it's messy and not always fair and hard completely inconvenient for everyone involved. even if it's weird. even if i'm rolling my eyes a bit inside sometimes. i just want you to bother me. please always bother me

like "it's rotten work" "not to me not if it's you" actually sometimes it's still rotten work. even if it's you. and i'd still do it a million times over
