What they don't tell you about DID #2 is that almost everyone you see online who appears super confident with their alters and system and everything? They, too, just like you, are also just doin' a lot of guesswork and assumptions.

I know vampirism is often used as a metaphor for the drain of the aristocracy but I think it would be fun to have more vampire characters who were just some guy before they got turned. You seek out the most ancient vampire in existence and find out he was a 40 year old wheat farmer in ancient Mesopotamia when he was turned 7,000 years ago and he hasn’t been doing much since then.

…psychiatry assumes that society does not cause distress in biologically normal people, who are considered biologically normal at least in part because they are economically productive. This assumption permits the conclusion that if a person is distressed to the point of unproductivity, it is because that person—not society—is abnormal. Thus, psychiatry’s commitment to biological essentialism not only masks the role of the constructed sociopolitical environment in creating distress but depoliticizes it by characterizing that allegedly irrational distress as induced by biological abnormality.

"But calling rightwingers weird inbred small dick manchildren allows me to shame them within their system of values"

That's the problem, and you don't see it.

If no one has told you this,

You tie a bow to tie your shoelaces differently than you tie a bow that you need to look pretty. That's why your waist ties keep looking wrong.

The first step to tying a bow is to loop the two pieces over each other, like this. The important thing to look at is that one of the tails is now on top of the knot, and the other tail is under the knot. Here, the tail hanging on the left side comes from up top, ans the right tail come from underneath.

When you tie your shoes, you form a loop with the tail that comes on top, and wrap it with the tail that is on the bottom. This makes the center of your bow a square knot, which is strong and doesn't slide.

However, no matter how long you spend making it pretty, it won't sit perfectly flat.

If you follow the exact same bow procedure, but form the loop with the tail on the bottom (and wrap the tail on top around the loop you formed), you can adjust your bow to make it sit flat and pretty.

So if you're feeling like no matter how hats you try, you just aren't getting a pretty bow, remember: up is strong and down is pretty.

Once you've practiced it enough, you can learn to tie it behind your back without looking.

Here's the same thing on a shoelace. Top is crooked but does not slide, and the shoe stays as tight as I tied it. Bottom is prettier but got looser after it was put under stress

Anyway this seems like the sort of thing that nobody really talks about but everyone kind of expects you to

i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said "your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising" one of the tags responding said "this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome" like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.

the curse is lifted! you are no a beast no more! congratulations! but you'll never forget the way they looked at you, will you.
