@IsagelC I think it's so ingrained because it comes from teeny tiny babyhood - smol Hindu toddlers being told they must never chew a book or throw it.

[Iona (@[email protected]) @singlecrow]

today's gripe: ppl who explain that actually you can burn books, and tear them to bits, stop fetishising them they're not sacred objects etc. it's just... there is a world religion in which they are? you probably haven't heard of us.

[Iona (@[email protected]) @singlecrow]

@IsagelC All books, written papers, and mostly computers too. we don't keep them on the floor or let anyone's feet touch them, or put them in domestic waste. although I do shred papers when I need to.

[Iona (@[email protected]) @singlecrow]

like, another major tenet of our religion is that we do not impose our beliefs on others in any circumstances, often honoured only in the breach etc yes. but, we do exist.

@HareComedy it's on my mind rn because of how much I hate ppl using it for me and how often that seems to happen. "special interest" - well either you're grossly misusing the term or unilaterally deciding I'm autistic, and I don't love either of those options.

[Iona (@[email protected]) @singlecrow]

@fairestcat well in that case I'm just happy for you! glad to hear you're doing well.

[Iona (@[email protected]) @singlecrow]

@HareComedy I do wonder if the term "special interests" has been forcibly co-opted from its original meaning so it now just gets used for "thing I like a lot", and that can't help with drawing a distinction.

[Iona (@[email protected]) @singlecrow]

@fairestcat oh, no, they weren't pulling the "talk therapy solves everything' shit, were they. I really hate that. also fascinated by how different our regimes are. drugs work! it turns out.

[Iona (@[email protected]) @singlecrow]

@fairestcat I'm really pleased for you that you have a regime that's working properly.

[Iona (@[email protected]) @singlecrow]

folks, I'm really not here. singlecrow @ bluesky , https://t.co/pWubF0l1gG (on mastodon), and I'm also on discord and tumblr under that name. happy to have you any of those places, very sorry about this one.

[Iona (@[email protected]) @singlecrow]
