god's personal jester

Hey, unpopular opinion, apparently. But people don’t just “have pain for no reason” doctors say this all the time (especially to women and chronically ill people) and the truth is, Thats literally not possible. Even if your pains are psychosomatic (a word I hesitate to even use because of the way its used so often) there is a reason you are having those pains whether its mental illness, abuse, etc. If your doctor consistently tells you that “well some people just have pain for no reason” get a new doctor. That’s a doctor who is not going to give a shit what your actual symptoms or experiences are.

I completely agree. Thank you for sharing this.

Psychosomatic symptoms are literally your body flipping random alarm switches just to get any alarm blaring because you’ve been ignoring the regular ones

My unnecessary two cents is that ppl in the imperial core are prone to viewing "benefiting from imperialism" as some sort of personal attack on their character or moral standing (& the higher moral ground they believe they have the more they resist this idea, imo) -- like you realize that its just factual. In a somewhat similar way to the principle that men as a class benefit from misogyny

The monetary plunder of imperialism on a gradient being "walled off" based on class race gender citizenship status etc. etc. does not make the imperial core a tragic outlier, this is the case in most if not all places, including places that are outside the empire. But fact of the matter is some people have imperial warfare in their countries or the ever present threat of imperial warfare in their countries and you do not, some people have to worry about imperial aggression and extraction on top of the million things that you worry about, and you do not, some people have to worry about massive currency fluctuation/degradation and the exponential impact this has on their ability to live their lives well or at all, and you do not, some people have to worry about access to minimally upwardly mobile jobs based on their ability to "speak english" regardless of what their native language may be or what the dominant language of their environment may be, and you, for the most part, do not. And on and on and on. Everything is affected. All the little or big things that add up to make some peoples' lives relatively easy and others' lives relatively impossible -- these things exist everywhere, but for those living outside the core, there's more often than not an added, significant layer of instability and insecurity and wanton destruction, alongside the pervasive feeling (and reality) of there being nowhere to go to escape from the way of things. Bc of how the world is ordered. Namely in a manner that ensures that wealth and bounty and opportunity only flows one way at the explicit expense of the other and the gates between these places are, largely, locked off

I hate when I see a video of a disabled person doing some cool shit & then I scroll down and the caption and all the comments are inspiration porny about it. Why are you crying. I saw a dude fucking shredding on a skateboard while also in a wheelchair and I just thought "yooooo that's sick lmao I didn't know you could do that" and the ableds are talking about how pointless their lives are compared to the skateboard shredding wheelchair guy

That's the other weird thing about inspiration porn besides the ableism like it doesn't even make them feel good it's just guilt tripping or something. Deeply christian phenomenon. "This guy lost use of both of his legs and he's still skateboarding, what's stopping you from making your existence worth anything?" What the fuck are you talking about on any level

It can go all the way down to the county level, which is kinda crazy.

Imagine being so self centered that your reaction to hearing someone demand their right to an identity that was stolen and strategically erased as a political weapon is to say "if you want to muddy the waters it's your problem 🙄🙄"

the Trump administration is actively downplaying the severity of the casualties of U.S. military personnel in the Iran offensive. imagine dying and/or being permanently maimed ‘for your country’ (said with heavy sarcasm) and the president being like “I’m not going to let anyone talk about it because it’s bad PR” lmfao………

I would say #DraftBarron but I’m not sure Trump cares about his own kids enough to mourn them if he got them killed, much less other people’s children.

goddamn the Et Al family are some smart motherfuckers
