i am an irl who cannot interact with doubles; not because i don't want to, but because i get very physically ill at the uncanny thought people are trying to be me and getting me wrong. though that's mostly the npd also saying i NEED to be the only one.

it is #terrifying because of the uncanny but also because it also makes me feel like my worth is being challenged, which can send me into narc crashes or rage and whatever not.

i used to let doubles interact but at some point they kept disrespecting my boundaries so it just became a harsh no, LMAO. the media and fandom may be small, and i may be desperate but it is not worth the physical sickness or the rage! i am better than that. therapy is expensive but lord i'm trying

last night I was talking with a friend and he was like "do you even like guys though" and I said "there are two guys that I know I would fuck. that's the only proof I have that I still kinda like guys." and I showed him Jake in that recent magazine shoot, and he said "that's a lesbian. that's not proof you like guys, that's just further proof you like girls."

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental

so true

[elexuscal]

"it's concerning if university students are genuinely struggling to read full adult-level books for class" and "don't overstate the reporting of a single news article" and "if this shift is genuinely real, it's reflective of broad curriculum changes in lower education levels, probably at least in part due to remote schooling during COVID, and doesn't mean the new generation is being willfully Stupid and Vapid" and "when reading for personal pleasure people should read whatever they like without shame" and "reading from a broad variety of genres, styles, and authorial backgrounds will improve your understanding of both literature and the real world" and "actively mocking people for their tastes in books does not encourage them to become more adventurous you're just being mean" and also "but seriously adult books are not just boringly pretentious nothingburgers padded with pointless sex scenes, and claiming they are just shows how little you've read" all can and should co-exist.

I firmly believe that some stories can never be translated into a different medium and that's okay
