Osblainers, enjoy your ship. just admit what it is. Toxic. Fuckedup. Wrong. That can be fun! I'm so exhausted by shippers altering characterization so they can feel morally better about wanting to read/write porn about an evil guy

lean into it if you're going to do it because the desperate reaching excuses are PATHETIQUE. You are pissing on our legs and telling us it's raining.

it's genetic and I'm goth as a result

Steve Goodman explains how one has no choice or hope in "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request"

or maybe I'm a Cubs fan because I'm goth because life is pain and you can find the beauty in the pain but the pain will never end because even when you win forthe first time in 108 years you get to enjoy exactly one week before Donald Trump ruins the world

reblog to remind prev they're not a bother and their presence is wanted <3

I don't think there's anything wrong with the idea, I never saw it as medicalized but more of a personality trait. Some people like to read books and some people like to hike and some people like to craft and like with all those things, some people have reasons for not wanting to be around a lot of people at once.

It's socialized, not medicalized, most of the time. I grew up in a small household with few people, it was how I got used to living. Having quiet and privacy. Being in a crowded place is unpleasant because I was socialized away from it, and primary socialization from the ages of 0-6 really shape your personality profoundly because we ARE social animals, scientifically, and how we are socialized affects how we view social activity and having a label for preferring one way over the other need not be accompanied by fear?

I suspect frightened introverts are not actual introverts. If they were,they would be more content with everything. They would know their balance and work it and not angst, aside from the social stigma attached to not wanting to socialize (because we are, after all,social animals).

And unhappy "introverts" who lash out are not actual introverts, either, like your mass shooter type who is always labeled that. Their rage stems very very much from NOT being socialized with enough.

When people use terms like "social battery" they are not medicalizing it, that's not how medicine or science works. They're explaining how they feel in a way that they think the other person will understand. It's called a metaphor. It's how humans communicate all the time.

And if you think being an introvert is "an identity of being scared," you simply don't get it. It's just a personal preference. Like being a cat person or a dog person. Different energies. It's really truly okay for people to use labels to describe themselves. As humans we have an impulse to classify so we can make sense of the world and each other,because without definitions, no one understands each other.

I think the concept of introversion may have harmed a lot of people, tbh

gonna reblog this every time I have to see one of these commercials during a Cubs game knowing the Ricketts family gave like 100m to pro-Trump superpacs

it's not that the charity is bad, it's that the charity wouldn't be so desperately necessary if these disingenuous fuckers hadn't destroyed governmental research and like every year hearing MLB full of vile team owners try to act altruistic with this performative shit makes me mad but in 2025 it makes me want to [redacted]

[cleoselene]

is it bad tht every time the Cubs have hit a home run I have yelled out "OHHHHH SUCK MY DICK!" this season because I just did and my mom was like "Alison, that is so crude can you not"

it's fun to say when you hit a monster dong okay

the Sox is a trashfire organization and money talks

it really feels like Boog has realized we all hate him and has gotten progressively more excited when the other team does well and gone more into National Broadcaster Mode than he was in the beginning (though I hated him then too)

but maybe it's because he's back and forth so much this year it seems more than usual and he's not as well at code-switching

maybe he just sucks and the Ricketts should grovel at Len Kasper's feet to come back

[cleoselene]

i mean they're so close to getting it

if they did care about immigrants they would have voted Kamala

if they cared about PALESTINE they would have voted Kamala because Trump and Kushner want to clear it out for luxury condos

like they think they're decoding an implicit message and the message is sinister but IT'S NOT IMPLICIT, IT'S EXPLICIT, YOU ARE A DUMB FUCKO IF YOU THOUGHT NOT VOTING FOR KAMALA WOULD HELP EVEN ONE PALESTINIAN.

like they're not just obsessively bigoted with Jewish people they're also just... fucking stupid? It's all vibes and zero logic with these people. yeah,fucko, people would not be being sent to concentration camps in the middle of the fucking Everglades on Micosukee Native land that they straight up stole to build because Donald thought "ooh Alcatraz + Alligators it'll be like Sharknado!" or something if more people had just fucking voted for Kamala you absolute idiot

and that's not getting into the fact that y'all should have learned the SCOTUS lessons the FIRST TERM but YOU DID NOT and Thomas and Alito are 100% going to retire this term to be replaced by Trump, you ignorant fuckos who I am begging to at least youtube some motherfucking Schoolhouse Rock so they understand how things work in this country

or do they think The Revolution™ will happen because yeah, that's go great, civil war between leftist and the alt-right who are heavily armed and have been cosplaying in militias for decades. Awesome idea.

“yippee the op is a jewish woman who i don’t like, therefore i can pretend her post is saying something that i think is evil and i can avoid having to confront the fact that i am more concerned about getting my dick hard than actual vulnerable people!”
