"something about you just activates my prey drive" but in a way that makes it socially acceptable that they're bullying you

i think that if we, collectively, thought of tags as a way for others to navigate your blog and search for posts relevant to a topic and not as a way to Push The Algorithm, we'd have much less cross posting. If I can't look up #otherkin on your profile and find posts mostly about being otherkin or experiences that otherkin can relate to (on account of being otherkin) but CAN find plenty of posts that have nothing to do abt being otherkin.... then you're using tags wrong. reach should be secondary to blog organization. which isn't to say everyone needs a tagging system. but it might be a good way to look at things if you struggle to know when to tag something.

i feel so defensive and protective of people with ARFID like if i had a disorder that made my brain register 90% of food as poison for no reason and i had a bazillion people on the internet constantly calling me a manchild who needs to just grow up and stop being a picky eater i would start killing people

people with ARFID and people with very few autism safe foods and people with contamination OCD and people in ED recovery and everyone else with a complicated relationship with food that no one takes seriously GET BEHIND ME!!!!!!!

i do think we need to detach hygiene from value as a person. as someone who has dealt with not being able to shower or brush my teeth due to depression and executive dysfunction, it usually is not a choice. sometimes there are situations in which you CANNOT care for yourself properly and that shouldn’t mean you can now be stripped of your worth. physically disabled people who have trouble with hygiene i love you, mentally ill people who have trouble with hygiene i love you, neurodivergent people who struggle with hygiene i love you, people without access to adequate hygiene products i love you. it’s going to be ok

"Whimsy" is truly a wretched term. What maketh thee so carefree?
