this is kind of a spitball but does anyone remember learning about the Japanese internment camps in WW2 and how all American-born Japanese citizens, including children and infants, were kept there on suspicion of being spies in the war? how “anyone with a drop of Japanese blood” qualified for incarceration? and everyone naturally responded to this with “how can a child or baby be a spy?” “how does being slightly Japanese make you a spy?” and everyone could so easily see the unfairness of that, but now with the case of Palestinian children and infants and American-Palestinian citizens, I have seen grown adults claim that the carpet bombings and air strikes and shootings and stabbings are all somehow fair, justified, deserved, etc. because they “grow up to be terrorists,” and it’s “Allah’s punishment for their sins.” that tiny little children “brought it on themselves” because god forbid a resistance group resists genocide.
we could see the unfairness then, enough for a fucking formal apology to be issued for it, but why can’t we see it now? is it because now it’s brown people facing unfair treatment and hatred and you can’t put them into your homogenous circle of whiteness like the Japanese? the words may be different, but dehumanizing language never changes. propaganda never changes, and neither does the American capacity for cognitive dissonance apparently.

oh i mean marcs crazy about his sport, more crazy than the others by a bit maybe but i actually meant he’s not not crazy outside his sport…? “off track im normal” chris hemsworth voice are you tho
i do wonder. how self aware of how crazy he is off track. like obviously on-track theres this feedback from fans media the other riders et cetera where theyre all kinda like. youre crazy and in fact a lil weird. and marc accepts that because hes a child prodigy who's won a buncha championships. its alienating but it lets him WIN ! but in terms of that off track stuff youre right i think he really wants people to think hes a hashtag regular guy (also maybe part of why he stuck to his hometown for a while among MANY other factors ofc) and thats fine. he wants people to get hes a person. but he ISNT normal and i always wonder. how aware of that he actually is. interpersonally. maybeeee theres also this thread where. okay because so much of his life IS dominated by racing/being in the paddock it gets subsumed into his "i have no friends that are competitors" post-valentino philosophy (that is. not entrirelyyyy true but not a lie either) and as a result he has no actual barometer for his ability to actually and for real be a normie....
#hes also had the same friends mostly and all that... idk i wonder if he internally gets that the way he thinks is bananas#because sometimes you DO recognize weird ass thought patterns within yourself but that doesnt mean you can STOP them#or that you even want to....#and his desire to be considered 'NORMAL' all caps is so deeply tied to the vale fallout where he got pretty dehumanized i would say#so we might never knowwwww#motogp#callie speaks#asks#marc marquez

#I haven’t been online all day so idk what the discourse has been like compared to yesterday#But can I just say that in a lot of videos that I saw - Brittany and Taylor were studiously ignoring each other#And I have been reflecting Jaime’s post about who else was in the box and what the event was and who was invited#And I feel like I fell into the trap of trying to interpret an entire social situation based on a few moments#And forgot that she and Brittany both have conversations and experiences outside of what we witness#Which I am usually fairy aware of with Taylor but I think it’s easier to slip into it when she does something that I wouldn’t do#Like it’s just so much easier (for me) to dehumanize people when they’ve done something “bad”#And that pattern seems related to the internal cancel culture (bullshit) and the desire for accountability (punitive version)#Which creates this impulse to sort people as good and bad#Which is not at all to say that I imagine Taylor is theoretically justified in being friendly with someone endorsing a dictator#But that my reaction to my assumption about her being BFFs with that vile woman led me to jump on a hate train without watching the footage#And like everybody has a right to be upset by her actions- which are pretty literally enabling a dictator to benefit from her name.#But I don’t think it’s as simple as her being besties with the lady. And I am trying to remind myself that I am not on a global stage#I was just as friendly with a trumper a few days ago at an HOA picnic. Which does not exist in a vacuum-#I am politically active in the community around some big picture stuff and part of that means I need the truly vile people to respect me#And i need to ask about their kids and remember their names and their health issues or whatever and let them hug me#Because that is what being in a collaborative harm reduction type political position means for me. I get waaaayyy..#More radical shit done when they trust me and enjoy chatting with me about trees and know I see them as human#And Taylor is obviously in a vastly different situation than me - she has a lot more power in many many ways- but she also#Certainly has more context (like me bc she’s a whole person) that we’re not privy to.#Idk sorry for the long rambling praxis rant#Just was at a RJ training all day talking about prison abolition and now am processing by philosophizing about Taylor#Just there’s a lot less dopamine hits in taking a step back then there are in reposting stuff without context#Which again is not to say that anyone shouldn’t be upset. The situation is imo objectively upsetting.#And taking a step back and giving a person the benefit of the doubt is most often allowed for white women#And we should practice taking the time to do that whenever we can and like if I can’t even do it with a famous lady I don’t know#How am I supposed to learn and practice doing it in my own life#Idk#c#TJ

concept: a Dom who chooses your gender for you (every day if it's a 24/7 dynamic or just for whatever scene you're doing)
like forced fem, except sometimes it's forced masc and sometimes it's "you don't get a gender today; you're just an object"
#this may not work for people who have a stronger internal sense of gender than i do but its v hot for meee#especially bc i dont actually care if im called ''good girl'' or ''good boy'' so i prefer more dehumanizing gender neutral alternatives#like ''good toy'' or ''good pet'' or whatever#(note that i already had that tag saved bc ive already discussed this exactly thing lol. anyway.)#both bc being dehumanized/objectified is Hot and also dealing with gender is just kind of a bother#but if we make a Thing out of it. well. that changes the game#nsft txt#nb nsft#queer nsft#cadian.txt

i dont think tender romantic emet is even out of the question tbh like i definitely write a good portion of my own like Sweet Boyfriend Emet i just think he has a very particular roundabout sort of love language and anything else just doesn't feel like him and thus feels less sincere. to me.
Personally i think he's more inclined to be physically affectionate and use a lot of pet names but remain kind of closed off vis a vis his more difficult personal feelings. basically bc he's written as a fairly dissociative character he's always in the process of trying to stuff down or disown or sever emotional reactions that might be too vulnerable, so you have to keep that kind of frantic doublethink in mind when it comes to relationships. yeah he loves wol and he'll show that and it might be really obvious but he also won't say it and doesn't want to take it too seriously and he has to have SOME stupid little wall up
sorry for being like THE EMET EXPERT HAS LOGGED ON and doing this like so frequently im simply
#also bc of this internal friction i think his own pov narration makes him seem like a MASSIVE ASSHOLE without that context#like i tend to write him when i do write him Actively Reminding Himself to take these ghoulish dehumanizing mental steps#like not thinking of wol by name#it's kind of wretched but it's specifically bc he's gearing up to try to defend himself from a very painful loss

i dont even mean this in a catchy, buzzword way but i really do think autistics trigger the fuck out of people with NPD. it keeps being a pattern in a VERY specific type of person in my work life. a lot of ppl w NPD have a very paranoiac sense of "everyone is trying to get me and tear me down" thing that comes w the grandiosity. not just 'wow i am great' but 'i will achieve greatness and i HAVE to and it won't be okay if i don't' and the fundamental belief that people 'lower' on the social hierarchy are secretly envious and making up ways to fuck you over and take what you have (yknow, bc Everything Is About You). being allistic on top of that - assuming your experience is default and everyone knows these minor social tics & anyone who doesn't respond in kind is being minorly petty at the very least - and you have someone for whom every little autistic social mishap is triggering the "secretly hates me is out to get me is trying to signal to me that i am cringe" alarms. i will play my tiny violin here and say if they see you as hot or conventionally attractive, they WILL NOT assume you are weird or neurodivergent, not in a billion years, they ONE BILLION PERCENT WILL ASSUME it's obvious that you are trying to signal you think you're better than them. it's really sad and it's a really stressful way to live but it helped me to understand WHY this dynamic was happening
#narcissists have rly screwed me over professionally and personally but i really do not like people dehumanizing them#even though i do get it and i do get angry#it's a really horrifying way to live internally and really scary to truly believe everyone is actually out to get you#i think there is a subclinical normal human spectrum of traits this kind of thing exists on#but this is the extreme end where everyone is thinking about you and secretly criticizing you and little social mistakes are Intentional#Slights meant to telegraph how much Everyone Hates You#i saw a psych once argue that NPD is a mask placed over BPD and i would agree there are similarities#borderline type shit is this very deep and fundamental Badness and sense of loss the way narcissism is#but i think something like NPD happens when your brain says fuck it and assumes it is no longer possible to expect people to be reliable#a lot of autistic people also have NPD because autism means more unmet needs#so it isn't an either or#one of the worst things about it is the persecuting nature of this kind of behavior creates more people who think and act this way

i have so many fucking thoughts about marathon and i cant articulate them because theyre all happening all at once in my brain . literally ill be cleaning an autoclave at work or smth with hundreds of internal monologues overlapping eachother endlessly with the occasional discernible "TYCHO"
#marathon (bungie)#i swear to god im writing a script for all my thoughts but its. hard#and last time i tried i went on a tangent on how the us military dehumanizes people#(which is important to marathon but thats. a whole nother five hundred internal monologues)#tycho. my fucking beloved#hes so fucked up and its so not his fault#i.

I wish literally any other one of the nominated movies this awards season won instead of Oppenheimer. No offence to the actors (although really, what the hell did RDJ do that was so exceptional), but I'm physically upset that they rewarded such an Oscar-bait movie.
#the valley is posting#it's how the suffering of japanese people is used to show the poor opie's moral complexity but japanese people are never allowed a voice#it's how us americans get to be tormented about the ethical consequences of their genocidal decisions#while the people of hiroshima and nagasaki and los alamos never get a face or a name or even a scrap of respect as human beings#they are simply not present in the narrative except as objects for us americans to debate over (and celebrate the suffering of)#and yeah sure; you can argue that this is oppie's story and not the story of hiroshima or nagasaki#but did we really need a 3 hour film talking about poor oppie's guilt over his complicity in the nuclear arms race#which manages to completely dehumanize and ignore poc suffering except as a plot device in oppie's internal torment#the AUDACITY of this bitch
