Me: Exercise does not cause weight loss. This is a fact that has been demonstrated so robustly in research that even doctors, who hate and fear evidence, are grudgingly starting to admit this.

Someone reading that post: Cool, but have you considered that exercise leads to weight loss?

Me: I am going to eat you

"terminally ill people should be allowed to choose to die if they feel it is the best decision for them" and "euthanasia can easily become eugenics" and "we should provide support for depressed and suicidal people" are statements that can come into conflict but should all be respected

I am once again talking about the Catholic guilt and martyrdom in far leftist spaces, especially the online pro-Palestine sphere. Telling people that it’s moral to traumatize themselves, and they’re being selfish and immoral for not wanting mental illness, is merely repackaged “suffering is good and will get you into Heaven, and not wanting to suffer is sinful.” Look at the manipulative language they’re using: you’re privileged for not suffering, therefore doing Bad, and in order to be Good again, you must submit to suffering. Repent for your sins by committing penance.

It’s also absolutely ridiculous to say “having ptsd prevent you from activism is a YOU problem, and you’re making yourself the victim!!” You couldn’t possibly victim-blame someone for mental illness more if you tried lmfao—and yes, watching nothing but death does radicalize people—into anti-social people who have a hard time functioning as normal humans, as seen by those tweets! Radicalization is bad!

I will repeat myself for the umpteenth time: suffering is not a virtue, and you are not a bad person because you don’t want to make yourself endlessly miserable. I would dismiss these twitter freaks, but I worry that this rhetoric feeds the mental illness of young and easily-guilted people online.

I really wish we'd teach about seasons based on where the kid lives and not on this midwestern/northeastern ideal of spring/summer/fall/winter.

My kiddo is learning about leaves changing color and falling off trees while she lives in Florida. She asked us when the leaves would fall here and I had to break it to her: never.

What I wished she'd learn instead, and which she will:

Autumn isn't falling leaves in Florida -- it's hurricanes and wildflowers. We tend to the monarch butterflies passing through and don't clear out the brush lest we clear out their chrysalises. We reclaim the evenings from summer's last grasps and await every cold front.

Winter isn't snow and ice here -- it's enjoying the beauty around us, exploring the woods, going outside without risking exsanguination by mosquito. Winter is our season of bounty, of relief. And sometimes, yes, we have to cover the plants to protect them from frost and we leave footprints on the grass in the morning. Here is our season of abundance, of frost-kissed oranges and lemons, of strawberries picked with your breath clouding your hands, of blueberries gathered in skirts. Kale and lettuce, beets and greens, it's all here for us in winter.

Spring isn't the season of hope it is up North. It's an end, a swelling of heat so sudden you swear by it. Florida kids need to know it's lovebug season and every bug season, it's gator baby season, it's beach before tourists season, and it's also fire season. The air is sticky but the trees are dry and an early thunderstorm could ignite it all, so be careful. Be careful.

Summer is our winter and it's shit. You step outside and you melt. It's hurricane season, but not really. More like hurricane preparatory season. They should teach kids here to check their supplies and how to chart a hurricane's movement. Summer is about wearing a jacket inside, because everywhere has the a/c cranked up. Kids need to learn how to cover themselves head to toe in insect repellant and sunscreen.

Instead of learning all that, my kid's gonna come home this week sad again that we don't have snow.
