I feel fortunate that my upbringing prepared me so well for life as an adult…

i’m very sorry that society has made you feel this way about your fellow disabled people. i hope you can reflect on why you believe that other people with worse symptoms than you are bringing down this community and giving us a bad name.

(especially in the context of a vent post that is not indicative of whether or not we are “actually trying” in real life.)

i am also sorry that society makes you believe that in order for disabled people to be respected we have to consistently be working toward a nebulous goal of self improvement and overcoming of disability as to not be perceived as lazy and inconsiderate by the world.

i hope you can be kinder and more patient with yourself and your disability in the future, too.

#i’m not mad even though your tags on my post were extremely rude and disrespectful. i understand why you feel this way #it’s the way that everyone in the world talks about this issue to me and everyone else who struggles with it to.#it’s pretty much impossible not to internalize some of that #but a key thing in disability activism is the realization that disability is actually disabling. and that there are wildly different #presentations of disability in different people. people with the same disabilities may have vastly different capacities for dif activity #internalized ableism #ableism #it’s also just a bit funny that the whole reason i made this post was because of the people who tell me exactly what you did in your tags #that all i have to do is work harder and try harder and #refusing to realize that my ability fluctuates day to day and hour to hour #there’s weeks where i’m on time every day. and then i have a moment that lapses into hours of stuporific depression #or similar exec dysfunction #that makes it impossible to consider going anywhere or doing anything.#and during episodes like this the alternative to being late is not being on time. it is simply not doing anything #time blindness is a debilitating symptom i experience. it has soured hundreds of events and relationships for me. this is not because #i just don’t try. or i don’t want to. or i do not torture myself about it. i promise #an explanation of which i am only delving into in the hopes that it enlightens you to my previous posts logic a bit more #not because i believe anyone has to justify their disability to anyone to be owed respect and compassion #i hope this helps a little

ep 43 had me tearing up in a fucking shopping centre ‼️‼️

b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3

#i dont know what i expected but i was waiting for a friend and too excited to wait until later #malevolent podcast #john doe #john doe malevolent #john malevolent #malevolent fanart #grimm art #ep 43 #ep 43 left me with a lot of thoughts ... i didnt quite like how much of a recap it felt like at times but that might #be because ive been relistening and like yeah everyone knows that john 🙄 but that's not the case for everyone and with monthly uploads #things get forgotten easily #i find the discussion of “humanity” so interesting because John has shown that without someone that he has forcibly grown to value as an #equal... something he cannot do as the king of yellow as he is superior to all of his realm and presumably stays out of other elder god's #anyway. without that equality and enviroment to grow he fails to reach his goal of compassion and falls onto old ways.#John. The King in Yellow. shown by both times each has found themselves in human form do not just crave power and influence!!!#THEY CRAVE COMMUNITY!!! an endrich being not born or raised with nothing but power and ego #CRAVES COMMUNITY.#His goal of “humanity” is not a selfless goal like John projects - it is ultimately somewhat selfish as he does not want to be alone!!#which makes this desire so much more human #i don't know maybe this is just me spelling out whats already there but the way john and the witch argued about humanity frustrated me #it felt like they were missing the point or that perhaps the “good/evil” “black/white” retoric was already realised by me and john needed #realise it himself . which is fair !!!#i dont know!!!!#the witch was talking about how bad everyone was and how humanity is cruel and john was talking about Lily (#who also frustrates me how shes used in the plot somewhat she was literally just a nurse doing her job bro #) but to John - yes internally he is struggling with his moral greyness and im so proud of him for growing being himself SO PROUD #JUST.!!! he wants community. he needs community. he loves his friend. 'humanity' at its core does not matter as long as you try to be bette #and i think thats awesome and i really enjoyed the episode #guhh im rambling enjoy my tag rambling i dont know i want john to have more friends :(#yorrick can be another friend godd i love you yorrick so silly

hot take I think the sexes would be much happier if we just accepted each other as mysteries instead of constantly shaming one for not being more like the other.

like, personally, in my own life, the whole idea of romance & marriage became way more exciting and attractive when I ditched the notion that men are just bigger stronger women, or women are just smaller prettier men.

like. not only is it okay that men are from mars and women are from venus, it's good.

do I know what's going on in my guy friend's head? I used to think I did, but it turns out I don't. Turns out I've never known what was going through the heads of any of the men in my life. And you know what? what a relief. he can do or say things that don't make sense to me, and they don't have to make sense to me. I know he's a smart, good-hearted guy; I can safely assume he had a reason for saying or doing that thing. And if I listen to him over time, I may even start to understand what that reason was. But I don't have to. What I can recognize instead is that each sex has a wisdom in their way of thinking and doing which befits given situations. More often than not, a situation requires both.

But you simply can't get both from one person, and you shouldn't demand it. And what a relief knowing my guy friend doesn't expect guy thoughts and behavior from me.

#I think this is why I used to be so into foreign guys and the idea of an international marriage #because I was under the impression that men and women are fundamentally the same in the head #but I knew SOMETHING about marriage was supposed to be mysterious and exotic and self-denying #cue a language/culture barrier #M/F #x #(an added bonus is that I have gotten WAY better at writing dudes)#I think the focus on toxic empathy in our culture has played a part in this as well #where empathy is the process by which you put yourself INTO THE HEAD of the other person #well no one can do that. but that especially can't be done between sexes. AND WE DON'T HAVE TO #COMPASSION does not require the plumbing of someone's mind / heart

gankutsuou + virgin whore - emma maggie solberg

#gankutsuou #gankutsuou: the count of monte cristo #from the fear of something happening to Him when she hears simeon's prophecy to the fear when He is lost as a child to witnessing His death #mary is tied to her love of jesus - just like haydee is to the count. while He suffers His Passion she suffers Her Compassion #the count's lair is a dive into his psyche - operating in a dream logic. haydee can be seen as a representation of his internal dilemma #she's a subject who has quite literally become part of his mind #(that's a well-crafted metaphor for their codependency alongside the religious iconography)

a lot of the stuff i've been seeing from rednote is cute but i'm a little worried about the amount of Americans who are acting like they've never met someone who's not from the US.

#i get that im probably an outlier in that im from a city with a high number of immigrants and ive had the privilege of traveling #but yikes it really seems like people are treating “connecting with people different from you” as a fun new trend #and not like it's basic compassion for others and a normal curiosity about the world #and *most* social media apps have an international community even if there are a lot of Americans & Western Europeans #or you know. meeting people in real life?#obviously not an option for everyone but most cities have cultural festivals or show international films & art #my posts

It's actually kind of heartbreaking how many people feel their life has ended right after high school or college, and honestly, the heavy romanticization of that period of time is so overwhelmingly predominant that it can be hard to avoid. It's insidious to constantly be told that ages 10-24 are the only worthwhile parts of life, that everything after is essentially meaningless and dull.

It's hard not to look around you and think that your life still is open and full of potential when you're told over and over again that the rose-tinted childhood is the last time you were alive. It's hard to realize that your life isn't over when you walk off the stage of your graduation.

We must realize that we will always be full of potentials. Your life won't be over until you take your final breath, and then? That's simply another chapter in your story, one of many. Let yourself realize that you're alive in the here and now. There will be good and bad, but never a complete loss of potential or hope.

#positivity #it's just... weird when you see somebody your age who says how over their life feels you know?#and i feel for them. i feel their pain and the emptiness of not knowing what's next or what you should do #and that's sometimes the scary part of life. but your story isn't over yet #one day it will be. one day you'll put the pen down and dry the ink on the yellowed pages and close your book of life. but that's not today #you are allowed to be an aimless spirit. you are allowed to breathe in without the crushing weight of productivity #the idea that your only potential happens when you're too young to realize it is wrong #your potential has nothing to do with feeling your youth and how little you know #it is hard to really internalize this and remind yourself to make space for hope and positivity...#...and you might not be ready to internalize this. that's okay. i'll wait with you (in a strictly spiritual sense)#we can wait together and not think about any of it. just to rest and collect our minds and feel the world hold its breath with us #all this to say that your life isn't over yet. you don't have to beat yourself up over not having lived at fucking 18 #allow yourself the compassion to realize that you needed time to grow and mature and explore the world in your own way

As people complain about Israel, and I ask them how they would get the hostages back — but answer there came none.
