#I don't even like it

[spookedwerewolf]

god help me I have been watching a bunch of cryptocurrency/financial scam videos lately and now I've been saying "your keys, your bitcoin. Not your keys, not your bitcoin" as a verbal stim because of that cryptoland video. Can I find something else to watch and think about!!!!

hey this is going to be a weird post, but I’m looking for a movie I watched years ago, some time after 2018 and before 2021, I’m almost certain. Gonna describe it under the read more.

warning for addiction themes, death, suicide and suicidal ideation, and divorce

so I don’t remember a lot of things about this film, but there are a few scenes that have stuck in my memory, so I’ll put them here. Generally, this movie was about a dad with an adult (or at least and older son), who was getting a divorce for a reason I can’t remember. He really wanted to reconnect with his wife and kid, but wasn’t able to for whatever reason. I don’t remember anything about him being abusive, but I do remember him drinking and just making generally questionable decisions about his relationships.

one scene I remember: Father gets super drunk at some point after the divorce happens, and forgets he no longer has permission to go home (where his wife and son now live alone or with a boyfriend). He doesn’t mean to scare them, but of course he does, because it’s late at night and he isn’t supposed to be there. They tell him he has to go and he’s confused as to why because he’s wasted. Can’t remember if he leaves or not, or they’re forced to deal with him another way like let him stay on the couch or something. There may or may not have been another man in the house by this point (wife’s new husband/boyfriend). I also remember the house being pretty spacious, maybe fancy even but maybe not.

second scene I remember: this may be closer to the end of the movie. Father has still failed to reconnect with his wife and son. He somehow runs into a friend of his son who his son either went to high school with or just knew through school somehow. This kid is deeply suicidal and is dealing with addiction. The kid and the main dad end up doing drugs together on the kid’s parents’ boat (??), and also the kid shows him comics he’s drawn or has of Laika, the space dog, dying in space. They have a somewhat philosophical conversation about the metaphorical implication of Laika’s death. Seems to be foreshadowing, because the kid dies the following day. The main dad wakes up, sees the kid is gone from the boat, assumes he just left. Finds out later that the kid wandered off into the woods and either overdosed purposely or was under the influence and died of exposure or accidental overdose. Some time later the father’s family finds out that he did drugs with the kid the night before he died and they’re SUPER pissed (understandably)

third and last scene I remember: following the death of the kid he went to high school with/knew through school, the main father’s son goes on an angry drive. He has also apparently been battling alcoholism like his dad, and pulls over before walking into the woods(?) and having a relapse. He drinks a whole bottle of some kind of brown liquor

I’ve tried everything to find the name of this movie and haven’t had any luck. Might have been a Netflix or Hulu original and now doesn’t exist anymore, but it might be something totally different. If anyone knows anything, I would really appreciate a comment, tag, or ask. Thanks friends

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

QUICK REMINDER

In the US: threatening government officials is a felony under federal law (the president in particular is protected under 18 U.S.C. § 871). Even memes.

be careful with your jokes if they spill over to active officials.

I gotta say, one of the greatest achievements of my 20s was that I learned (mostly) to differentiate between:

"I truly do not want to go" and

"I'm just feeling the Demand Avoidance, and I will like it once I get there."

Listen man, you guys can't be like "you guys need to be normal about asexuality" and then turn around and get weirdly judgemental when you find out someone doesn't have sex by choice. Like that's weird that some of you do that.

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.

I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:

Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)

Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)

Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often

Eat dessert first

Celebrate well, and often

Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)

Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.

Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate

Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)

Walk without having a specific destination or goal

Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.

I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.
