University has single handedly made me hate chatgpt on a personal level because in my writing class there are so many people using it and not remembering the multiple times our prof. has told us that it is considered a form of plagiarism. like. SO. MANY. TIMES. that the rest of us get chewed out and miss opportunities for group peer review because they aren't enough people actually writing their own essays. IN A WRITING CLASS. people somehow managed to plagiarize a NARRATIVE. ESSAY.

Me: Average leftist! Do you believe that people dying is bad?
Average Leftist: Of course
Me: Even the ones you don't agree with? The ones with wildly different politics than you?
Average Leftist:
Me:
Average Leftist: ... So first of all you're secretly the Enemy and everything wrong in the world is on you.

having complicated feelings about the politics of rage
like that specific kind of debate bro whose videos are all "liberal DESTROYED raging feminist OWNED by calm facts and logic haha i'm so smart and cool" who thinks anyone not in a perfect stoic state must immediately be wrong (and by proxy their ability to "argue" about things that don't affect them divisive topics calmly means they must be right)
seeing people finding their ways to scream into the void for reaping week or vent the anger and indignity at how screwed up our world is... why is it so taboo? why is it so bad to be upset at, yknow, things that should upset any rational, compassionate person?
because yeah, anger isn't rational and tends to find targets rather than solutions, but for fluff's sake it doesn't just go away! you can't turn off your passion! and you shouldn't! you should be upset! you should be upset about climate change and billionaires and rising fascism! you should be upset that the world is unjust!
but we've created, or accepted, or failed to question, this framework where being calm makes you more correct and being visibly passionate or upset is a bad thing, where being riled up by someone who thinks you don't deserve rights is a sign of weakness, where caring loudly and vibrantly is somehow bad optics because being angry looks bad.
angry people are dangerous. angry people can't be trusted. angry people shouldn't be listened to. angry people can't control their emotions. angry people should just calm down. angry people should be subdued.
just shut up and take it already, won't you?
like. look. the doomerism and despair is strong outside of communities like this. so often i find myself asking where is your rage!? where is your hope?! your joy, your passion, your conviction that a better world will be made!
i spent a long time drowning in some pretty rough crap. when i managed to crawl out of it, the first thing i felt was relief. the second was burning, white-hot rage that i had lived like this, that i had been allowed to live like this. anxiety makes you want to shrink down, be as small as possible, as unintrusive, as unnoticeable. anger told me to be loud, be bright, be visible, shout from the rooftops that i deserved better, turn passion into action instead of wallowing.
yes, i am angry at the world and i should be. i am upset that people who have more money than i can even conceive of can run the planet into the ground and blame me for using too much plastic. i am upset that my existence is someone else's political fodder they can fearmonger about for engagement. i am upset that people are dying over numbers on a graph and lines on a map. i am upset that billions of dollars for guns and tanks gets written off without question, but the single mother of two on food stamps is what's draining the budget. i am upset and i'm not going to apologize for it, because that isn't "letting my emotions control me," it's having basic fluffing compassion for other people.
sorry i can't be calm like you while you're holding a gun to my head. it must be easier when it's your finger on the trigger.

I appreciate the sentiment but... How?
Literally. Materially. How?
I have no money. I am autistic and I don't know how to get help and even if I knew, there might not be help for much longer. The job I have- the only one I've been able to keep- gives no benefits and does not pay enough for me to buy all my medicines and food. My chronic illnesses and mental health disorders mean that I Literally Cannot emigrate. No country will take someone who is a 'burden.'
I have no community. No friends. I have no family to help me other than my spouse. I need diabetes medication and thyroid medication and enough antidepressants to keep me alive and I need to eat something that isn't rice and peas or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. (Not a great type 2 diabetic diet btw but fuck me its so hard to feed myself even WITH money to spend on groceries)
This is a vent and a rant and maybe a little bit of me just screaming into the void hoping desperately that someone will see this and help me. I don't know what to do.
take my hand for a moment
your objective from this point on is to survive
the election results are going to take a few days. The world is going to be very tense. I want you to take all the things you like to do to distract yourself and splurge on them. I want you to go eat your favroite foods and spend time with friends. I want you to do what you gotta do to make sure you can make it through the week.
There are people out there who want you to survive. There are people out there who are just as scared as you are.
We'll get through this. We will find a way

Welp, shit sucks. But we gotta get to work. Lets make the best of a shit situation.
Assuming that voting still matters in two years, we all gotta show up to the midterms. If we can flip congress then, we can reduce republican influence in the second half of the term. Even more than that though, we need to both persuade would be republicans to switch sides and persuade "I wont vote" people to get off their asses. We got two years, start strategizing.
First and foremost be watching the current government like a hawk. Talk about EVERYTHING they do and save all legislation decisions they make on a spreadsheet. Predict what will result, good or bad, and check in later. Make sure that EVERY bad thing they do is brought to attention so that people know exactly what our problem with them is. Make sure that if someone asks why you hate them you have an answer locked and loaded with references to back it up. All their faults need to be on full display.
Second, be pragmatic. Check your own biases. Learn to fact check. Make sure you know your shit on topic you care about.
Queers? Make sure you know your history and the reasons why different parts of the community ask for different things. Why is transition access important? Why are marriage rights important? What role do kink and sexual liberty play in the fight for queer rights? Learn about it. Talk about it.
Feminists? Read up on feminist history. How women's rights have progressed and why they were fought for.
Participate LOUDLY in every history month and visibility day. Make it very very clear why these issues are important.
And most importantly, remember that the goal is to grow support for progressive causes and erode the foundations of far-right fear rhetoric. You do not and cannot achieve that by name calling, insulting, mocking, relying on emotional appeals, demanding perfection over progress, or any number of other behaviors common in progressive spaces. We need to get our shit together. We need to be pragmatic. We need to learn to keep our cool and be realistic. We need to act mature and know what the fuck we're talking about. Not... whatever the hell has been going on up until now.
Shits gonna suck, but if we can support each other to the other through it lets make sure we come out the other end in one piece and with our shit together
Good luck
I love y'all <3

"eww why are you into hard medplay and caretaking at the same time the power dynamic is so toxic and its nasty!!!"
my brother in christ,
Tumblr media
need i add more???
no but really: its so difficult for me to get out of bed in the morning, i don't have a job and my only expectations are to go to doctor's appointments & keep living, i have to grovel for medication and my insurance constantly pre-auths all my liquid meds. (liquid clinda/cipro being like $500, Tablet I Can't Have vers. being $22) i've dealt with so many doctors who think i'm too fragile to touch, or don't care enough to help me.
i am always in so much pain carrying out my daily duties.
so honestly? to answer your rude question...? for once I'd just like to be seen as an object of affection, something someone wants to take care of and love... someone who can take away my responsibilities and teach me about my own body without cringing. someone who actively views me as appealing not in spite of my illness - someone who finds me fascinating, intriguing, interesting, something worth study and treatment. & i don't think that that's so bad in fiction, really.
and also because syringes are kinda hot tbh

It's kinda fucked up that for someone like me there isn't much else I can do. I am disabled and entirely dependent on others, I can't go to another room easily, I can't go on a walk on my own and I can't go outside on my own without a lot of support. It's fucking sucks man, esp when I see posts like these it only reminds me of all i can't do. My phone is the only connection to outside I have.
Don't mind me op I am just talking to myself
I wish it was easier to talk about mobile phone addiction without sounding like a boomer
