"Masculine women are treated better than traditionally feminine women!!!"
(And the person saying this is literally talking about AFAB trans people when they say "women" Because let's not even try to hide the transmisia and exorsexism!!!)
[ID: The meme of Dr. Phil handing an L to the camera, now edited so he is instead handing a copy of Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg. End ID.]

Stop fucking doing the misogynist and transmisic assholes' job for them. Just because those who hate fucking trans people are now pretending they've never ever ever had a problem with tomboys and butches and other masculine women as a cover for their hatred of AFAB trans people does not mean you get to fucking spout their lies for them.
Gender nonconformity has always been violently fucking punished. Just because conservatives are now pretending they never treated masculine women badly so they can pretend that trans men and AFAB nonbinary people are evil and brainwashed does not mean you fuckers get to help them spread this blatant fucking lie.
I was literally bulled my entire fucking childhood for not being feminine. Shut the absolute fuck up if you're going to claim that masculine women -- and people perceived as woman -- are treated just perfectly fucking fine and are more well treated than any other fucking victims of misogyny.
Shut your fucking ignorant mouth.

I may have a lot of criticisms about the No Kid Left Behind policy changes, but in hindsight, at least theyer the reason I can proudly say I'm a highschool drop out instead of a middle school drop out.
#anyways the Gringito post made me go dig up some old school records and stuff since my memory of the time is toasted#and finding my old report cards that my parents didn't let me see were something#you can really spot the exact semester i started dying. i went from straight As to getting fails in every class due to not showing up#andnnot turning things in#I still tested higher than any of my peers and got As on everything i did turn in but fuck was i sick#You know its dire when you're flat fs report card only has teachers notes about you being lovely to have in class and hoping you get better#anyways dont try to treat EDS with chemo it doesn't work <3

alastor is always in drag. to me.
#hazbin hotel alastor#transmasc lesbian who passed because it was easier to pass as a man than a woman and afford him more opportunities#loved to lord over the fact that he was a better man than the majority of men were and was constantly imposing higher standards on his peer#while it matters less to pass in hell he's having a fun time expressing himself and having fun with how he presents (hence the makeup)#divorced himself from womanhood but finds that he really enjoys dressing as a drag queen from a trans perspective#also gets a huge kick out of a woman in drag treating him as a woman while he's in drag (our date night consists of me pampering him#and picking a fight with anyone who looks at him in a way I don't like. I get act like a short stack king with a cigar and everything.#vox happens upon us and I'm like no. absolutely not. take my coat dear.)

Sometimes I remember a conversation I had with my mom around the time they were learning about my younger sisters adhd and she said "a lot of people with adhd need to do something to occupy themselves to help their brains think. A lot of them doodle or bounce their leg or do something like that in class and it helps them focus." And I remember thinking yeah I do both of those things but I'm built different lmao I just do those for fun and not bc of adhd. Girl...
#my posts#adhd#the mental gymnastics i would constantly go through in my head to like other my sister and reassure myself that i was normal#is completely mind boggling to me#i even remember saying to my sister once in a really mean conversation#that she was just like me in whatever quality and she just had to get over herself and deal with things and not be such a baby about things#like i was so close to getting it#but i didnt have the knowledge to understand that i was just way better at masking than she was#and even my parents didnt#i had a lot of problems as a kid around being different and not fitting in but i could never really wrap my head around it#my mom also said once that kids with adhd mature a few years behind their peers#and i thought 'yeah not me haha im totally normal'#narrator: she wasnt#idk in a lot of ways my self esteem was really fucked with throughout my adolescence bc i knew i wasnt normal#but i was smart and somewhat emotionally intellegent#so my social ineptitude was like this odd thorn in my side that i couldnt understand#dunno just rambling today i guess#sorry allie for treating you like shit

#whatever. im good at what i do im good at what i do#it's like....#disheartening almost. idk. bc no matter how much i love this and really want to be in this#god some people just really have it better#even just in the years ive been here the film program has been building and slowly getting more equipment and now those clubs#are getting on it and it's like bitch i started on zoom...#i didnt just Have film production classes in my high school i wasnt able to go out and buy a black magic camera just cause i wanted to#and then tell me why a few of them are going This is so gay... bc well her story is. old friends? be serious#but like yes im sure you people know gay people but why are you saying that... i didnt like it#i joined in on the joke cause well i felt my voice was most important there. given the lesbianism.#but god i cant stand how film guys will just treat u like shit um constantly and even if you politely peer to peer ask them smth#which honestly id rather kms than do but im an adult so if i dont know something i like to ask they just asked like such assholes#abby talks

hey real quick bc i haven't seen anyone really talk about it; fuck Hoarders. what a disgusting fucking show. like i know a lotta content boils down to "let's gawk at mentally ill or poor or whatever ppl" but this one specifically really peels my paint. it's sickening. let's spend an hour walking around someone's house and going "wow!! look how fucked this is!!! i can't believe you live like this (despite having done like 13 seasons of this)!!!! you really need to get your act together, buster!" and then interviewing the family to get sound bites demonstrating how much of an Unreasonable Burden the subject is and (without actually helping any of the mental health issues that may lead someone to hoard) roll their eyes at them when they are upset at someone taking and trashing/destroying their precious belongings (or are made to do it themselves). and then half the time in the where are they now segment it's like "yeah they relapsed lol idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" like??? no shit dumbass.
i don't care how strange their homes or habits are. these people are deserving of compassion and real, honest help. they don't need people to marvel at how Kooky Wacky Bonkers™ they are, and they don't need people to hurt them just because they don't understand what they see in their possessions or are embarrassed by knowing them or whatever.
we don't need another voyeuristic savior-complex charade where the condition for The Most Half-Assed Help You've Ever Seen is being publicly humiliated and having to destroy things that mean a lot to you. what the fuck.
#a lotta these situations involve actual danger for the subject or their dependents so like getting rid of stuff is sometimes necessary#but just taking the rug out from under them without additional support isnt gonna help anyone longterm#and mocking them on national television certainly isnt either#like if someone's keeping dead cats in their freezer i feel like there are more constructive ways of dealing with that than 'lol' or#'youre a disgusting freak and we're gonna display that to everyone and also not help you fuck you etc'#like. god.#im not arguing the subjects are all saints or whatever either btw but they deserve to be treated like human beings#like?? forcing someone to destroy or throw out most of their posessions and mocking them for being emotional about it is cruel#it's no less cruel just because you dont get why theyre attached to those things#maybe it's even ESPECIALLY cruel because of the nature of hoarding#it's so dehumanizing#and idc if some of the subjects have been helped by being on hoarders. ppl could just help w/o mocking them and they could do a better job#if the show helps ppl it's on accident. the purpose is to watch and revel in it. in how stubborn and deluded people can be. in how much#better we are than them. in how just the hosts' disregard for their feelings is. etc. fucking repulsive#it's a dr phil situation imo#anyway my parents used to watch it a few years back and it's always bothered me that their chill sunday entertainment was. this shit.#and the subjects' faces when they see the cleared out house is almost always so.. strained.#i think it's a part of a broader problem with this kinda content and its fetishization of the reality check#to them the feelings of the deluded person don't matter because they annoy or inconvenience their peers#hence the 'i can't believe you care about this garbage' mentality of the show. even if that care comes from illness those feelings are real#so to force them through step 8 of a recovery process before steps 1-7 and then insult them for not recovering is just. god.#i hate it i hate it so much

Tbh autism advocacy that hinges on claiming autistic people are ontologically smarter/kinder/more moral is useless at best. And while i don't see the argument that we are smarter very often these days i do see a lot of the latter two.
And its frustrating because it's like half a step away from just saying being afforded compassion/dignity/autonomy should be a meritocricy.
#which like can you not see how that is a wretched idea???#but its also personally very grating because it erases all the difficulty i had with peer relationships due to treating people callously#and the fact that i did have to learn and practice friend skills as a teenager ×-×#its nothing but a disservice to treat other autistic people as less morally complex or changing than their nt peers#and its like#maybe i want my kindness to matter not because its innate but because i chose it#that i want people to see not just the social cruelty i was subject to but also that i learned to recognise it in myself and that#the relationships i have now are not just a result of meeting better people but also the work i put into being the kind of person i am now#maybe that process was made easier by my absolutist tendencies but maybe it wasnt it shouldnt be relevant yk?

I'd imagine it has something to do with the differences involved in learning in a peer-to-peer space vs subordinate-from-authority space, particularly in terms of what is transformed and what is left unchanged. Because of how thoroughly children are treated as subordinate by anyone who isn't around their age or younger, learning basically anything from anyone who isn't a child carries a particular weight to it that things learned from peers doesn't. It makes sense to make the distinction to me.
Also concepts of what is "appropriate for children" as seen by adults vs what is appropriate for children as seen by themselves vary widely - most adults will not teach a child to play Mercy or the arm burn games or anything, but a good handful of kids looooove playing torture games and will go out of their way to teach them to everyone around them. Likewise, when I was young, my friends and I loved to compete to jump off the highest structures, and my dad - who had done similar and was known for climbing buildings up to third- and fourth-story floors, which he would tell me and my siblings about occasionally - would work OVERTIME to discourage us from doing the same, because as far as he was concerned, we were too young to be doing that sort of thing, even though at my then-age he was, obviously, doing it just as much himself. And now that I am an adult... well, if I saw a seven-year-old climbing onto a roof and excitedly going "Guys, watch this, I'm going to jump off!" I'd be lining up to tel them to stop TOO! The childlore of "climbing onto tall structures and jumping off"-games would be filtered through a lens of appropriate behavior as seen by an adult and not reflect a child's perspective on the subject, if you follow me?
Haunted and excited by this being a field of study
#obviously not every kid has like a REVERENCE for things taught to them by significantly older kids and adults but not only do many of them#we also go out of our way to teach them that adults are Always Right and they must do things the way adults want them to Or Else#kids do obviously take and learn things and change them as they interpret them differently or feel it works better but there's a reason#people tend to say that kids are 'easy' and teens are 'hard' and that's because for the average person it's early teens when they begin#really testing limits and seeing what instructions they can safely change/ignore/defy and as kids they are more likely to take the word of#an adult as essentially gospel#in that sense 'adults passing on childlore' will hand 'down' games &etc that are going to be treated with a lot more relative significance#and seriousness than games invented or taught to them by peer children will be#like as far as i can tell childlore is particularly concerned with the viewpoint attitudes and beliefs of children as created and interpret#interpreted by children through mediums SUCH AS games songs rhymes etc... but it is largely ABOUT how children think and view the world#and their place within it & relations to others within it. So adult perspectives and things taught by adults and left unchanged are kind of#- not irrelevant (as noted by the post - things changed and interpreted outside the expected lens by children are counted) but not focal#sorry for the essay... i was reading anthropological papers all afternoon

The data does not support the assumption that all burned out people can “recover.” And when we fully appreciate what burnout signals in the body, and where it comes from on a social, economic, and psychological level, it should become clear to us that there’s nothing beneficial in returning to an unsustainable status quo.
The term “burned out” is sometimes used to simply mean “stressed” or “tired,” and many organizations benefit from framing the condition in such light terms. Short-term, casual burnout (like you might get after one particularly stressful work deadline, or following final exams) has a positive prognosis: within three months of enjoying a reduced workload and increased time for rest and leisure, 80% of mildly burned-out workers are able to make a full return to their jobs.
But there’s a lot of unanswered questions lurking behind this happy statistic. For instance, how many workers in this economy actually have the ability to take three months off work to focus on burnout recovery? What happens if a mildly burnt-out person does not get that rest, and has to keep toiling away as more deadlines pile up? And what is the point of returning to work if the job is going to remain as grueling and uncontrollable as it was when it first burned the worker out?
Burnout that is not treated swiftly can become far more severe. Clinical psychologist and burnout expert Arno van Dam writes that when left unattended (or forcibly pushed through), mild burnout can metastasize into clinical burnout, which the International Classification of Diseases defines as feelings of energy depletion, increased mental distance, and a reduced sense of personal agency. Clinically burned-out people are not only tired, they also feel detached from other people and no longer in control of their lives, in other words.
Unfortunately, clinical burnout has quite a dismal trajectory. Multiple studies by van Dam and others have found that clinical burnout sufferers may require a year or more of rest following treatment before they can feel better, and that some of burnout’s lingering effects don’t go away easily, if at all.
In one study conducted by Anita Eskildsen, for example, burnout sufferers continued to show memory and processing speed declines one year after burnout. Their cognitive processing skills improved slightly since seeking treatment, but the experience of having been burnt out had still left them operating significantly below their non-burned-out peers or their prior self, with no signs of bouncing back.
It took two years for subjects in one of van Dam’s studies to return to “normal” levels of involvement and competence at work. following an incident of clinical burnout. However, even after a multi-year recovery period they still performed worse than the non-burned-out control group on a cognitive task designed to test their planning and preparation abilities. Though they no longer qualified as clinically burned out, former burnout sufferers still reported greater exhaustion, fatigue, depression, and distress than controls.
In his review of the scientific literature, van Dam reports that anywhere from 25% to 50% of clinical burnout sufferers do not make a full recovery even four years after their illness. Studies generally find that burnout sufferers make most of their mental and physical health gains in the first year after treatment, but continue to underperform on neuropsychological tests for many years afterward, compared to control subjects who were never burned out.
People who have experienced burnout report worse memories, slower reaction times, less attentiveness, lower motivation, greater exhaustion, reduced work capability, and more negative health symptoms, long after their period of overwork has stopped. It’s as if burnout sufferers have fallen off their previous life trajectory, and cannot ever climb fully back up.
And that’s just among the people who receive some kind of treatment for their burnout and have the opportunity to rest. I found one study that followed burned-out teachers for seven years and reported over 14% of them remained highly burnt-out the entire time. These teachers continued feeling depersonalized, emotionally drained, ineffective, dizzy, sick to their stomachs, and desperate to leave their jobs for the better part of a decade. But they kept working in spite of it (or more likely, from a lack of other options), lowering their odds of ever healing all the while.
Van Dam observes that clinical burnout patients tend to suffer from an excess of perseverance, rather than the opposite: “Patients with clinical burnout…report that they ignored stress symptoms for several years,” he writes. “Living a stressful life was a normal condition for them. Some were not even aware of the stressfulness of their lives, until they collapsed.”
Instead of seeking help for workplace problems or reducing their workload, as most people do, clinical burnout sufferers typically push themselves through unpleasant circumstances and avoid asking for help. They’re also less likely to give up when placed under frustrating circumstances, instead throttling the gas in hopes that their problems can be fixed with extra effort. They become hyperactive, unable to rest or enjoy holidays, their bodies wired to treat work as the solution to every problem. It is only after living at this unrelenting pace for years that they tumble into severe burnout.
Among both masked Autistics and overworked employees, the people most likely to reach catastrophic, body-breaking levels of burnout are the people most primed to ignore their own physical boundaries for as long as possible. Clinical burnout sufferers work far past the point that virtually anyone else would ask for help, take a break, or stop caring about their work.
And when viewed from this perspective, we can see burnout as the saving grace of the compulsive workaholic — and the path to liberation for the masked disabled person who has nearly killed themselves trying to pass as a diligent worker bee.
I wrote about the latest data on burnout "recovery," and the similarities and differences between Autistic burnout and conventional clinical burnout. The full piece is free to read or have narrated to you in the Substack app at drdevonprice.substack.com

depressing predictable frankly unchic that the idea that nonbinariness is fake or cringe or transitory is going up in concert with the binary genders being the most consolidated & narrow at the cutlural level as they've felt since like 2003.
#in hindsight the way I was treated by peers partners etc was always kind of degendering#& it's better to embrace that about myself rather than try to 'fix' it lol#bc makeup/dresses/femininty/etc just sits on me like a nasty oil slick on water#But also the mid-10s to present cultural turn towards conservatism was definitely what made me feel#actively unwelcome rather than like tolerated as weird mascot w/in the idea of 'womanhood'#I also felt it in 2003#but then didn't have the language to rescue myself so just tolerated girl friends calling me fat and weird and hated myself lol#sad to feel like this is what's coming for kids again#I don't even particularly id as nb in itself like if someone really asks it's agender#but I feel protective of it both as an umbrella concept and an identity with a built-in variousness/negativity to it!#which always seem to be the first to be shoved off when we have to 'Get Serious...' and why is that???

yes the point of english in US schools is a media literacy class but also the content and quality of education in the US not only varies from school district to school district but from level to level (e.g. AP/IB/honors kids getting more respect and funding and quality education from teachers and schools)
#sometimes kids dont pay attention but surprise! also a flaw of the usamerican education system#yes it is silly kids dont know english is media literacy class and yes media literacy rates are staggering#but also genuinely the way children are treated and educated based upon their ability to meet district standards also affects shit#this is also why most ap/ib/honors kids are the most annoying adults out there#bc they were given opportunities other children were not & constantly told they were better and more upstanding than their peers#anyway#off my soapbox#education#media literacy

Career Day
Tags: teeth rotting fluff, crack, jjk men as dads / fem!reader
An: Your child comes home and says tomorrow is career day at their school. They want to bring you and their daddy to school to show off how cool you two are, but.. their dad doesn’t exactly have the most conventional job.
SATORU • SUGURU • TOJI • SUKUNA
SATORU
“My daddy is the strongest!” Your son explains to a room full of his peers. Satoru is proudly beaming next to him. You note how much they look alike. The white hair, the bright blue eyes. Your son looks like he came straight from Satoru and had nothing to do with you.
But your son, Aoi, definitely had your personality.
“Nuh uh. He can’t be the strongest. Superman’s the strongest!” Another kid protested with an unconvinced frown.
“Well, my daddy is like superman!” Aoi retorts, keeping his headstrong personality like his mama. “Actually, he’s even better than superman!”
“He’s not even wearing a suit!” A different child speaks up. You share a nervous glance with Satoru. He’s enjoying this all too much.
“He doesn’t need a suit to be the strongest, dumbass!” Your sweet boy yells, and you promptly cover his mouth. Satoru is laughing his ass off, making the entire situation worse.
Correction, Aoi trying out his dad’s signature hand signal and saying “domain expansion” made the entire situation so much worse.
“You’re grounded, Aoi. You can’t say those things to other people. It’s rude and hurtful.” You say as you and Satoru walk your young boy home. Aoi lets out a small frustrated groan.
“I’m still getting him ice cream.” Satoru interjects with a proud smile. “My boy tried to cast his first domain at just six-years-old. He deserves a sweet treat.” Two wide smiles look up at you, and you realize you’re outnumbered here. Rolling your eyes, you nudge Satoru.
“I want a girl next.”
SUGURU
Mimiko and Nanako begged Suguru to come to their school’s career day. He was of course hesitant to do so, given that Jujutsu sorcery was still a hidden art in Japan. He didn’t exactly know how to explain his career to a bunch of kids.
He had a plan though. He would just tell the children that he was a preacher at a church. It’s not… completely a lie. He was a leader for.. a type of church.
You and Geto walk into the cozy looking classroom and see a load of other parents there. Your husband grimaced at the thought of having to interact with all these… people.
You give Suguru a reassuring squeeze of the hand. “It’ll be okay. Anything for the girls, right?” You whisper into his ear, making him nod. Anything for the girls.
When it’s finally Mimiko and Nanako’s turn to explain what their daddy does for a living, your small family gathers at the front of the classroom. Plenty of small innocent faces and reassuring smiles fill the room.
“Okay girls, tell us what your parents do for a living.” Their teacher prompts with a warm smile.
“My daddy swallows balls for a living!” Nanako says proudly with a beaming smile.
The kids erupted into laughter while their parents gave you two disgusted looks.
To make matters worse, “He also hates filthy mo-“ Mimiko tries to add on, but Geto quickly covers her mouth with his hand.
After explaining what a vivid imagination your twins have, you go on to explain that Geto is a leader at a church, and well, that doesn’t go over too well either.
“Homeschool?” Geto suggests as the four of you walk home.
“Most definitely.” You agree. Mimiko and Nanako are now educated by you at the home, where they can’t out their dad for swallowing balls.
TOJI
“Mama, make papa come to career day.” Your young son, Megumi, demanded. He had a small little pout on his face, and his arms were firmly crossed over his chest. Behind him, Toji stood, shaking his head at his son’s determination.
He often did this: telling you to make Toji do something because you were the only person who could make Toji do anything. After all these years, mans was still wrapped around your finger.
“Baby, Papa’s job is kinda private.” You explain quietly as you pet Megumi’s soft hair.
The small boy’s look of determination shifted to a look of reserve. Even as a young child, he wasn’t great at showing when his feelings were hurt, but you could always tell.
“Gumi.” You say his name softly, bending over to look at the boy’s flat expression.
You were also the only one who could coax Megumi into showing his real emotions.
Tears welled in his eyes, and his bottom lip started quivering. “I don’t wanna be the only one whose parents didn’t come.”
“Oh baby.” You frown as you pull your son into a hug. You glare upwards at Toji, and his eyes widened slightly. He knew what that look meant. “You’re going to career day.” You say to him, leaving no room for argument.
The next day,
“Okay Mr. Fushiguro, what do you do for a living?” The teacher asks Toji as he’s sat next to Megumi. Your son is actually smiling, enjoying the fact that Toji actually came to career day.
“People pay me a large sum of money, and I take care of someone for them.” Toji explains vaguely.
“Oh! Like a doctor?” One of the kids asked with an impressed smile.
“Sure, like a doctor.” Your husband lies, knowing that he does quite the opposite of what a doctor does.
SUKUNA
The look on the kids faces as your tall, muscular, tatted husband walked into the classroom was hilarious. Most of them were completely mortified, giving Sukuna frightened stares.
Your husband was completely unfazed. If anything, he was soaking in the kids’ fear. He sat at the front of the room with a look of arrogance.
Your nephew, Yuji, sat between you two. No, he was technically not your kid, but he didn’t have anyone else to bring to career day. So, Unc Sukuna and Auntie Yn were to the rescue.
“And.. what do you do for work, sir?” The teacher asked in almost a judgmental tone as she eyed Sukuna. You couldn’t tell if she despised him or wanted to fuck him.
“I don’t work. I live off tithe.” Sukuna bluntly answered with a shrug. His lopsided smile never left his face.
“What’s a tithe?” A small child asked quietly.
“It means people pay me out of fear of that I’ll harm them if they don’t.” Your husband gives a child a sharp stare with a challenging smile. He wanted the kids to keep asking questions. The thought of scaring multiple children all at once fueled him.
“Like… beat them up?” Another child asked.
“Like eating their snot-nosed children.” Sukuna answered with a toothy grin. The children all shrieked and cried in terror. Hell, even their parents looked frightened.
“Ryomen.” You chide as you look over towards your husband. He was laughing maniacally, even slapping his knee like the old man he was.
Yuji never invited you two to another career day.
