you need to be blessing the homies. you need to be gently touching their brows and letting them know that you and the legion of spirits under your influence approve of their endeavors. you need to be sanctitymaxxing
@trip2erewhon i find that loop switch earplugs are good for managing sensitivity creep—i check that i’m only eliminating as much noise as necessary to avoid distracting psychic pain
@gothamshitty it’s also just so nonsensical. even jobs statistically as dangerous as pregnancy don’t last continuously for 9 months, unless you’ve been enslaved. i’m ardently anti-bioessentialist, but some of these arguments are just stupid
@bstract_thot so much of fixing my physical and mental health issues in college was realizing that the abstract tools people have used to control me are also tools i can hold
@talleyberrybaby my sister and i quote this to each other on a regular basis (also, i think it’s “you people can’t do anything”, which i find to be even more of a motivational insult.)
@Puckmeat i think a lot of people forget that, unless they were otherwise wealthy, writers needed to make money by appealing to large audiences. of course dostoyevsky is fairly easy to follow!
@preset_2m3 not what they’re angling for but i consider little rules like “only buy a hardcopy book if you’re going to read it 3+ times/reference it regularly” to be a “shopping hack”
@sophieisawitch yeah… i’m in enough chronic pain that i’ve decided passing on my genetic material is unethical, but given a magic wish, i would change my body to alleviate dysphoria before fixing the chronic pain.
@Puckmeat idk if i became a “nicer” person but my ability to take care of and stand up for my community/friends increased and i do fear that may be a little more important
