I want to be so invested in my life that I forget social media exists. I want to experience everything to the full. I want to be one of those people who never looks at their phone or a computer screen. I want to feel everything and be absolutely present. Therefore, I am going on a hiatus. I am going on an adventure, a challenge, I am going to spend my life with me. After all, I deserve it.

I’m writing a fic in the present tense for what I think is the first time

I feel like I'm describing a picture for English class. And it feels weird to use present simple for somemething other than habits!!!!🤯

Review: Finding Color

Synopsis: I have a nice job, a nice one-bedroom apartment, and a few nice friends. My days are filled with drab meetings, subway commutes, and lonely nights watching must-see Thursday TV. I used to be the life of the party but have led a lackluster existence since my mom’s death. I’m twenty-five, but I might as well be seventy-five. Desperate for change, I take off for a three-week vacation to…

This post pisses me the fuck off because it feels like a corruption of my favorite past times: going to extreme lengths to do random shit.

Last year in June I got an unexpected, last-minute day off that my roommate didn't have. With no other plans, I decided to drive two hours out to try Dave's Hot Chicken.

It was tasty, I got to catch up on some podcasts, it was a fun time! While there I took a few pictures because it looked neat, snagged a menu a some custom paper napkins as a souvenir to prove I really did this when I got home, and had a lovely time.

I didn't post anything on social media because a) this is the only one I use consistently and b) who cares? This wasn't something I did for clout. It was something I did because I like fried chicken.

Now I imagine there's a universe where someone else does something similar, only they drive further and they don't eat the fucking chicken. And why? Why are we trying to sell each other experiences that we don't participate in?

Why do we live for clout? Listen to me motherfucker and listen good, when you get to the gates of heaven and the Lord asks, "Did you partake in the pleasures I created for you on earth?" He will not be swayed by the pictures you took, the video you shot, or the followers you gained. He will look to see if your soul was enriched by eating tasty chicken and not harassing workers.

Esto de afrontar cambios, desgasta un mundo... Aun sigo analizando en qué día voy a lograr recuperar la energía que pierdo constantemente, porque el sueño me rebasa y ya no es por antihistamínicos 🫤.

people love extolling the virtues of ball-and-socket joints and how it makes us more advanced and all that but I don't see any fucking octopuses in slings now do I. Bones are overrated and I want a refund.

oh btw just in case nobody ever told you. just because your life looks different than you thought it would doesn't mean that your life is bad or wrong or disappointing or less than. sometimes things aren't good or bad. sometimes they're just different

fionna and cake drawings before and after watching the episodes so far. it’s nostalgic and somehow cathartic and poignant and relatable and—it just started

i see this jason todd who actually looks his very young age (instead of the 30yr old man that comics like to portray)

and feel my heart breaking just imagining bruce beating him up, almost killing him, mind-breaking him, and just overall being a total piece of shit father towards him.

a huge chunk of the reason why people don't view bruce's actions towards jason as abusive or wrong is because jason doesn't look his age. he's drawn to be this 35yr old father of three who looks even older than dick (and way too on par with bruce) that people see their fights as one between batman and any of his regular rogues. when they fight, it just looks like batman is fighting a man his age and not an actual young person. it doesn't look like batman is fighting his son who's barely even drinking age (and who def wasn't drinking age in utrh). their fights are portrayed in a way that eliminates the very real power struggle between them.

this applies to jason's entire character as well. a lot of people don't sympathize with how he died or his actions as robin or his fights with the other bats because he doesn't look his age. he always looks older and scarier than everyone else. tim has many sympathizers from the titans tower incident because jason just looked like a grown man fighting a 12yr old (even tho i disagree, tim was built and like 17 lmfao).

anyways, i just wish comics would actually draw jason to look his age, which literally ranges from 19 to early twenties. he's young- so young, and it's so annoying to see him drawn and written as someone older than even bruce.

The more I learn about judaism the more I wonder where tf christianity got all its bad shit. Why is divorce a sin in christianity when judaism has recognized the right to divorce for nearly a millennia and has codified religious laws for it. Why does christianity consider sex to be dirty (to the point where puritans considered it a sin to enjoy having sex with your own spouse) when in judaism it's considered holy and it's a literal mitzvah to have sex with your spouse on the sabbath. Why does christianity consider it a sign that you're faithless if you question your religion when in judaism that's considered an essential part to developing your faith. I'm probably stating the obvious here but I still can't get over the fact that there's no historical basis to any of this shit before christianity started, it's like christians just said "hey guys what if we took the torah and built a new religion around it but this time it was actively hostile to human life"

I just desperately want more recognition of traumagenic experiences that lie outside of the usual "childhood abuse" assumption that everyone forces on that label. what about trauma from bullying? what about trauma from undiagnosed illnesses? what about trauma from queer experiences like transphobia? what about trauma from medical experiences like surgeries, hospitalizations, psych wards, and other areas where the medical field failed you? what about trauma from eating disorders? what about trauma from racism?

there are so many experiences that can fall under traumagenic, but are yet swept under a rug in favor of a strict, stereotypical narrative that's easier to comprehend. I think we as a community need to make an active effort to expand our understanding of traumagenic, especially where it may overlap with experiences traditionally considered endogenic, and understand that trauma can come in so many different forms. so often people are shunned for trying to create roles and labels that describe their specific traumagenic experiences, and I don't understand why. there can be no progress towards acceptance for all systems if we don't accept that traumagenic is an umbrella label too.
