Something I really like about America is how uncomfortable we are about servants. People who do services do not *serve you*. They *do tasks*. They are a professional, working independently, and below nobody. This is not common around the world, and is to America’s credit.
The absolute absurdity of ADHD body doubling: I cannot, under any circumstances, fold my own laundry if I am alone in a room. But if someone else sits on my bed and looks at their phone doing absolutely nothing to help me, I suddenly possess the executive function of a military general. Why does a witness make us functional?
Texas just made weed a felony after over 70% of voters voted to legalize it. Is this what we call a democracy when the representatives of a state will openly defy the will of voters because incarceration rates went down so much and prisons lost money? Texas is a fucking republican-ran hellhole.
Sorry I do not reach out as often as I used to, I have been second guessing my career path,debating my life choices,and sleeping in any free time I get to escape the reality that is my life.
You read that homeless women are being raped and immediately blamed homeless men because you associate violence with poverty, whole time the primary perpetrators or rape of homeless women AND MEN are housed people (and cops) who lure them with promises of food, shelter and work.
a regulated nervous system isn't quiet. it's responsive. it laughs loud in restaurants. it cries at commercials. it gets a full body chill from a song it hasn't heard in years. people mistake numbness for peace because numbness is easier to manage. but real peace has a pulse. it moves through you instead of around you.
been torturing myself all day because I accidentally bumped into a small elderly lady and she goes “you’re the second person to almost knock me over today, I know I’m an old woman but I’m not invisible” i’m a pos f*ck
btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here.
