Desire is self-justifying. Make peace with what you want

Oh so this has been a known thing for at least 6 years 🙂

So cool how the wikipedia article for "repressed memory" is like 90% child abuse apologism and the talk page is just wikipedia editors reacting with total obtuseness to people pointing this out

Not many people know this but nouns are actually just higher-order verbs that apply a verb over a signified object

My gf just picked this up, flipped to a random page, gave me a baffled look and started asking "Is this a schizotext? Was the person who wrote this insane??"

I wonder if the epstein files leaking has made people any more receptive to my view that if you seriously set out to solve the problem of child abuse in our society you will necessarily be solving every other social ill as well

I feel like at some point we're going to need to acknowledge that the computer literacy crisis is caused almost entirely by prioritizing controlling what kids are allowed to do on the computer over teaching them how the computer works

You can't hate someone who hurts a kid enough to ever heal that kid—sorry. You have to deal with the fact that you're surrounded by people who abuse kids with impunity. It's the reproduction of *rape culture* which disempowers and isolates children you have to fix. Sanctimony is part of rape culture

I've always found the "you're valid" stuff strange because it seems to implicitly reference yet not actually articulate some system for determining validity. "Valid" according to what, exactly? Is it just ill-defined in-group dogma? Or universal tautology? Is everything "valid"?

I spend a lot of time helping people not die. I haven't helped THAT many people but more than one. I've taught people and fed people and talked to people and waited with them, and I guess you gotta understand how much love I have for everything, so I do whatever I can with what I have.

Essential reading list btw

The Situationists called this "survival sickness", the tendency for capitalist alienation to reduce living to surviving until survival itself becomes unbearable

make a lot of friends do drugs fuck a lot tell beautiful women you're in love with that you love them

There's a sort of eschatology to dec/acc: be one of the Powerful People who causes The Collapse and you'll be rewarded in the Post-Collapse with your own company town the size of a small country and as many robot butlers and soldiers as you need to hold power and live in luxury Forever

Thinking about when I was learning about analog computing years ago and saw all the equations I'd been using to describe circuits instead treated as the programs for them to evaluate. Everything around us is information being manipulated, physics and computing are just two sides of the same coin

*eyes glowing red, body lifting off the ground* The widespread destructive force of "irony poisoning" is a result of failure of adulthood to allow adequate forms of play which allow inhabiting the detestable in a momentary and harmless way

Rapists would love it if the word rape was literally unutterable. And then you look around at the censorship produced by a society demonstrably run by known rapists and see we're really getting there

Fascism is successfully undoing the sexual revolution to eliminate the concept of sex as a recreational activity from our society. The only legitimate sexuality to fascists is procreation and getting raped by powerful men. Pleasure is verboten

Whenever I write Like This just know that I'm actually Making Fun of Mary Daly

I practice intuitive eating but for all desire

Also, like, all the people saying "The game labels you with political ideologies even though it isn't always obvious what you're siding with." YES that is how ideologies work! They affect the way you think about things even when you're not explicitly deploying them! This is a learning moment!

if you really care for an insane woman you should ask her about her psychoses and how she fits into her perception of the world and you should tell her that it's beautiful to see the world and her life that way . if you even care.

Ohh my goddd

What did Will Wood mean by this actually

knowing trans ppl saved my life fr

"Consciously or not, most people would rather die than live a permanently unsatisfying life" — Raoul Vaneigem, The Revolution of Everyday Life (1967) Happy #Pride everyone 🏳️‍⚧️✊

in pride month you just need to make a lot of yuri and/or yaoi no matter what

Fucked up how chickens are already dinosaurs but we feel the need to shape them into little dinos to make them more dino. Don't cry little normal shaped nuggie I think you're dino enough already ✊😔

the secret to being funny is thinking of a funny joke, thinking "aw shit, someones definitely thought of this before" and saying it anyway

I feel like it's pretty apparent that the egg prime directive is a product of communities of recently out trans people who only just found out you can be trans and feel the need to tell everyone they can. Real "mom says we're playing the quiet game now" energy tbh

Trangender women are always saying "having kinky gay sex will save me" but no, the only thing that can save you is forming an avant-garde guerrilla theater troupe

We've Been Abused By CryptoTERFs While Other Cis Feminists Actively Enabled Them And This Will Continue To Happen Until It Is Addressed vs. No It Won't

rfk is gonna put the lithium back in 7 UP

Wow, if only someone had given them clear and actionable constructive criticism so they could've addressed these issues before everyone hated them

The "ACAB includes" discourses never go anywhere because people take it as a statement of moral blame rather than an issue of trustworthiness in the short term and need for fundamental societal restructuring in the medium/long term

Thrift store gem 😌💅

Thinking about how over time "t4t" has kinda moved from solicitation to romantic preference to solidarity movement and I sort of wish that solidarity movement felt more organized and deliberate. Trans people seek out other trans people for love and support but it seems ad hoc and unprincipled

Trump is putting RFK Jr in his cabinet because he hopes the kennedy curse will attract the bullets to him at the next assassination attempt

i love my friends so bad
