Hunter Biden on his father pardoning him:
He chose me over his legacy, because no matter what you say, that's going to be one of the first things written about him.
He chose me over his political legacy.
And that's how much my dad loves me.
THANK YOU
“stolas is classist”
that. is. the. entire. point.
he’s classist but doesn’t realise it bc he’s sheltered and ignorant as hell it’s an intentional character flaw that he’s going to have to work through bc of the position he’s now been put in
I realized that Hunter Biden is doing the 12th Step of AA, which is basically pay it forward. For all his shitposting, he has a lot of recovery words of wisdom and he's reaching out to other struggling addicts. His appearance in the public sphere might be part of his recovery.
Things the recovery industry will not tell you:
1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.
2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.
3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.
4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.
5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.
6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.
7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)
8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.
9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.
10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.
Glorification? There was zero glory in my addiction. It was truly the most excruciatingly humiliating and degrading experience you could possibly imagine. I wanted to commit suicide almost daliy, but didn’t have the courage for even that. Instead I’d reach for the pipe or the bottle. The cowards way out. The guilt. The shame. The hurt. The absolute misery of it. Yet here I am. And I am not alone. There are millions upon millions of us. We don’t all agree on politics or people or who we root for on Sunday. But we all have the shared experience of walking through that fire and surviving. I chose to live. That’s not a joke.
🚨 do you understand what happened to Gooseworx..
She spent years making The Amazing Digital Circus - pulling all-nighters, pouring everything into the finale. Then it leaked.
And instead of sympathy, her own fandom celebrated it.
She responded with "ehh, who cares?" - not because she didn't care, but because she was already broken.
"I really just can't keep my heart in this thing anymore. It's gotten too much bigger than me"
> She made a cartoon. Just a cartoon. It went viral and she never asked for any of this
> The fandom harassed her voice actors and attacked her personally
> She pulled all-nighters for months to make the ending perfect - for people who leaked it anyway
> She's now saying she shouldn't have been the face of her own show
A creator just watched her passion project get destroyed by the people who were supposed to love it most.
