a thread of my headcanons for the mechanisms (and dr. carmilla)!
first is jonny d'ville: baddoggender, transmasc, nonbinary, xenogender, genderwound, deadsleepic, fleshgoregender, aroaceflux, queerplatonic, cannibagorix, odeoaroace, omnisexual, amatopunk, and evil polyamorous!
I think a lot of people also fundamentally misunderstand exactly what “amnesia” is... Too many people push the idea that being a DID system requires full blackouts and living life in a complete haze at all times when in reality amnesia can encompass tons of different experiences
This idea that climate change is a separate issue from human rights is so....idiotic. Like it pisses me off. Who the HELL do you think bears the brunt of water and air pollution, increased natural disasters, poor soil quality, stronger viruses and bacteria if not PEOPLE????
Do you ever notice how things are tacky until upper class people do it? Thrifting is so popular now and it’s funny because wearing second hand clothes was so frowned upon when I was growing up…
i can never be mad at gay men who come out after being married to a woman for years bc gay people are deadass told to repress our feelings and marry the gender we aren’t attracted to and our “urges” will just go away bc that’s ultimately the “right” way of living
It’s always baffled me that I have never seen anyone, left or right, use a different photo of this guy. I thought it was just the only decent picture that’s publicly available but no there’s a bunch of others
@MrThyroidless@ladygreenkirtle will say u also don't have to visualize stuff well to enjoy descriptions and not all books are heavy on visual description but
I’ve heard that these days there are things called “plays” that are almost all dialogue, and if you want, you can even go somewhere where people will read out the lines and do the actions so you can see it. You don’t have to read a novel if you don’t like novels!
@VoidinFlesh why are we finding new ways to discriminate against people with trauma. calling people avoidants jesus. we were already doing this to people with personality disorders and now we've expanded out to attachment styles. christ
Students see no issue using AI to complete their assignment because they have been conditioned to treat schooling as a means to a capitalist end and not a tool for acquiring knowledge. The proliferation of AI is just making this very explicit for those who didn’t already know.
@_Asryal@idktspmo1003 oh okay i get this post now. the ai boom and usage of it by ordinary people is propagated by those billionaires and putting the onus on them when they're the ones using it and actually causing the climate change most directly (but getting away with it) is most impactful imo
hm i also don't love transsexual used to differentiate sex transitioning instead of transgender just because it often feels like it implies a total swap from one gender to another (and that there isn't fluidity) or emphasizes that sex transitioning is needed.
