Belphie's first year in photos!

I got sad looking through these, because you can see him decline month by month as the FIP took hold. but we once got him in the medical study, he recovered SO FAST! I have a vivid memory of him kneading his blanket in the carrier after he got his first shot.

and now he gets to be an adult, and have many more (hopefully less eventful) years ahead!

Ok this paper thin metaphor showing Adam West as a type cast has been and Burt Ward as a nasty ingrate hits a REAL wrong note coming FROM DC Comics Action Comics 641

"Snakes" aren't real. It's a camera artifact that happens when one of these extremely fast, tiny lizards runs past while the shutter is open.

The long, legless animal is nothing more than a myth perpetuated through culture and media. It's time to wake up and see the truth.

i like that the name nuzlocke stuck. like the original thing was just called hard mode but it featured a nuzleaf named after locke from lost and to this day its still called a nuzlocke. theres even variations like wonderlocke. like the locke part became a suffix. i like that. i really like how words happen

my personal experience with sex exceptionalism -

i was present at a mass shooting at age 8, and it didn’t affect me at all. i never brought it up to professions (psychiatrist and therapist) because it never seemed relevant or important.

i experienced csa from age 6ish to 9ish by an older child family member. it affected me, but way less than i felt like it Should have affected me. honestly, i think the idea that it Should have fucked me up more was the source of a lot of my suffering due to it as an adult. i started over analyzing my life bc what if xyz was actually an unhealthy trauma response, what if my sexuality as an adult is fucked up and “untrue” to myself bc it’s “just a trauma response”, etc. (i have since accepted that yeah, the csa probably did affect my sexuality, but i am okay with that. it is what it is, and it is not any less true bc i wasn’t “born that way”.)

i was seeing a psychiatrist and therapist for a few months while in a very traumatic school environment. when i disclosed the csa to them, i was evaluated for ptsd and got diagnosed. they took the csa so much more seriously than the school trauma. looking back, i recognize that it was not the csa giving me ptsd - it was the school environment causing all of the symptoms that led to my diagnosis (and causing me to be unable to cope with my past csa, which i had theretofore coped with well.) but the professionals could not comprehend school as being something ptsd-worthy; only the csa, which actually affected me way less than the school, woke them up to the idea that i might have ptsd.

even now, i feel the urge to invalidate myself. when i told my gf “i have ptsd and we’re entering a situation that might be tricky for me, so if xyz happens please do this to help me” - my first instinct was to “justify” my having ptsd by saying i was present at a mass shooting or had past sexual abuse, etc. like, how pathetic is it that of all the life i’ve experienced, the thing that every other american teen survives was the thing that really fucked me up. i felt inadequate in my own lived reality. it’s weird.

God, thank you for this incredibly self-aware and reflective message -- you see very clearly how coercive and controlling the school institutional environment really is, and how much damage it can do. so much of the trauma we endure is regular systemic stuff that is hard to put a name to bc it is so normalized. thanks for sharing.

“Wrist check!” A boy in my class yells at us.

We stare him dead in the eye and pull up our sleeves to show all the eyes. And then we eat him.

KISS sounds and looks inherently faggy but then you see them perform and raise one shaking finger and select "straight" on the two big buttons before you. the researcher takes a note as the chute dispenses a little treat. he doesn't say anything as you unwrap it and ask him why. he just puts up another band on the screen...
