something I genuinely despise like actively hate is when people treat the fact that horrible things happened more frequently in the past to mean somehow people were less traumatised by them happening. it’s such horrible dehumanisation (that’s often used against traumatised people today in some way or another, and also one that disrespects every human that’s ever come before us) and it’s so blatantly false if you do even the slightest bit of digging. encountering death was more common in the past where less people lived to a peaceful old age but mourning and grief has never been lesser due to that. burial sites have been beautifully and carefully created since before we had civilisation, and as long as we've had language people have expressed grief frequently- look at the tombs of Roman dogs for just one example because they’re heartbreaking.

and even back when violence and bigotry was seen as the norm, the fact it caused trauma and suffering was known. homer's works have a deep understanding of the horrors of war the trauma of veterans and how innocent civilians suffer and those are three thousand years old. but trauma justifies itself. the unjust establishes itself in a generational cycle of trauma excusing itself to cope. convincing yourself that horrible horrible things are necessary and ultimately good can placate both abuser and victim surprisingly well.

and it very much did not do that for everyone, because there were always people who fought! people who fought so hard to spread innovations to save lives and fight disease. people who fought back against abusive systems of power even though they were raised in a society that glorified them because they couldn’t justify it to themselves! people in the past weren’t fucking stupid and thinking as such is such a disservice to humanity and removes the humanity of our ancestors.

Anxiety really thinks we live in a world that works this way lmao

time to make some kalimotxo and read up on the soviet experience in Afghanistan (which literally does not affect the story of The Man Who Sold the World in any way, I just like to be informed about the influences, environment and events that shaped the characters)

Person A: Do you want a beer? I’m paying.

Person B, going through the restaurant’s menu: No. Ugh, where’s the good stuff?

Person A, half jokingly: I thought you were an alcoholic.

Person B: Exactly. I’d need at least, like, four beers — without food — to get slightly buzzed, and my stomach can’t fit over 2 beers in it. I’m small. I’ll have a rum, neat.

I've taken ibuprofen, 2 muscle relaxers, gabapentin, Benadryl, and smoked a bowl, yet I am still awake because the pain in my lower half is close to unbearable. I need opiates 😭

they probably put locks on the medical room(? Forget what it's called) specifically bc they don't want ppl getting to the drugs. This isn't like a huge revelation or anything I just realized that's probably the only reason they have locks anywhere but the cockpit

People who sell other people pills without testing them first or people who knowingly sell people pills with fentanyl in them should be arrested and charged with manslaughter.

what’s a TikTok that you still come back to, a year later, two years later, three? I think the honest answer is “none.” Because like so many other things in our culture, those videos are designed to be thrown away. They can’t hurt you, but they can’t move you. They’ll never challenge you, and they’ll never inspire you. All they’re meant to do is help you pass the seconds that make up your life, a finite and precious resource.

i am hoping to never have to get another colonoscopy again (until i’m old enough to need to get them etc etc) but tbh i would very much like to experience the relief and comfort i felt when i woke up, was able to eat a warm meal (meatloaf + mashed potatoes, perfect comfort food (and it being soft was great bc i had had a endoscopy and broncoscopy done too so my throat was SORE)) for the first time in over 24 hours, got to wear super comfy anti-blood-clot compression boots, was on regular doses of IV tylenol and therefore the most pain free i had been in ages, and then got to sleep for the rest of the day. AND there was the joy of being told i didn’t have crohn’s. it was solid

Good evening today I was in so much pain it spiked my blood pressure into borderline hypertensive crisis and a Medicaid nurse called and gave me instructions that I already knew and recommended I go to the ER and the only thing that helped was taking an extra lisinopril and an emergency propranolol and getting cross-faded on an industrial-strength 3:1 CBD:THC edible and bourbon. Can my doctors just treat my chronic pain before it causes life-threatening cardiovascular crises, this happens like once a week and I am not even exaggerating for dramatic effect
