@chaoticgaythey@iwritecoolstuff it is bullshit, but the kind that comes from being privileged. from being uneducated about reality because of the tower of privilege that blinds you.
@chaoticgaythey@iwritecoolstuff as a white, economically privileged person, with an assortment of other privileges under my belt, a lot of stuff i havent previously noticed as racist, etc, have been due to my position of privilege. that is not an excuse, but it is a reason.
@petalsforachel @ardent_4ng3l the things that helped me there were my med change and the other patients. only one lesson about coping mechanisms actually helped me. most of the lessons were either fun activities or incredibly trite to the point of condescension.
@Joseph_wolfstar@emilyyy317 absolutely! and what's worse, she's targeted by bullies for being a know it all, a teachers' pet. she's made fun of even by her only friends for this, or gets used to help complete their homework. if anything, the idea that hermione is a know it all comes from other characters.
i wish people would stop telling me to stop worrying about things bcos it fully implies that i have a semblance of control over it WHICH I DON’T! I practice mindfulness multiple times a day and I still feel like the world is ending, you can’t think away an actual mental illness

@emilyyy317 so of course she's gonna be a teachers' pet! of course she's gonna try her damnedest to work with them, get feedback, and be the best student in her class! that was the whole point of her character!!!!
@emilyyy317 ... she's literally terrified of failure. it's her worst fear. it doesn't help that she's a muggleborn, and the victim of magically-racist harassment. she's trying so hard to pass that she *travels through time* so she can take more classes.
@chaoticgaythey yes! this is what i mean when i praise queer as an umbrella term. acronyms can only be so inclusive without becoming clinical or difficult to remember.
I love how queer is just such a good catchall self identifier to say "Yes I am part of the community" the way that even specific identity labels may not. Do you need to specify how? Nope - you're queer! And that's all we need to know
