#i'm bad at socializing online

My cat died over the weekend whilst I was away from home. Before I knew, I had a dream where we were sitting outside in the garden and he was fat again and happy.

sometimes it is very jarring to read a piece of writing or art that is so crystallized in simplicity that it seems deceptively casual until the efficiency of emotion hits you in the next fraction of a second. sometimes that's just the truth peeking through, sometimes it's a deliberate precision strike, but wowza.

anyway, ya girl is getting back into reading daily + I had gotten used to a lot of not at all good media over the last recent while (had to leave an abusive housing situation, just girly things, but on top of that they also watched a lot of bad TV lol) so... phew! art is back baby

I have genuinely hated almost everything about the internet for about a decade now. Why am I still here?!!

I think we gotta start recognizing that "things accepted online/in leftist spaces" and "things accepted by the general public in the real world" are two very different things. like no actually gnc men are Not suddenly seen as okay because there are drag queens on tiktok. men are still beaten and harassed and ostracized and Killed for being feminine. in the us. in my very liberal city full of ppl with blue hair and pronouns I am made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome for being a gnc guy. the tiktok comments on videos of men wearing make up are not indicative of the beliefs of most people

My favorite Northernlion take is that you should save all of your complaints about day-to-day social interactions for your spouse so that they can be locked away forever after one conversation. those thoughts are not suitable for being posted on the internet

I wish to be part of something so badly but my boringness and fear of creating bonds stop me from joining anything

[lost-in-frog-land]

never am I so aware that I'm succeeding at curating my own fandom experience than when I see a long essay post about how toxic a fandom I'm in is. Like I'll be reading that shit like "huh I didn't know they were doing this. I thought we were just having fun why are people being mean?" never once being aware of any of that shit. come to think of it that pretty much sums up my experiences in most social scenarios. hm.

Not a fan of how much social stuff is involved in trying to find an apartment because holy shit every time i get a response to me asking for a viewing that is like "sure here is the phone number of the current tenant :)" a part of me dies a horrible death

every day i see people talking about things that I simply do not understand no matter how much I look into it and think about it and try to figure it out. i cannot tell if it's brainfog and fatigue or if I'm just ,,,, incapable of being intelligent enough for it all :[

Having one of those weeks of "is this the monthly Malaise or am I about to have a real mental health rut"

[mwagneto]

I haven't talked to any of my irls since friday and they're all worriedly texting me but like what the fuck am i supposed to say. "sorry i am literally unable to talk to anyone who doesn't know just how deeply mentally ill i am and also i thought so hard about fictional gay people i forgot how to speak hungarian. dont worry this wont last long, probably only 2-3 business years and then i'll be normal except of course season 3 will be coming out by then so it's all gonna start over. see you!"
