advice that has literally saved and improved my life

[fullmetalfisting]

Okay okay we all know Johnny cash did his cover of Hurt and we were all like “ok he owns that now” but I watched the music video he made and I’m like “oh he OWNS it owns it”

[fullmetalfisting]

It’s totally wild to me because most people agree that Trent Reznor is a master of his craft and Hurt is considered one of NIN’s best songs. Imagine having this great hit and 8 years later a musical legend who hasn’t done anything great in a long time and is ostensibly dying takes your song and fucking. Just fucking obliterates you

[wrenchinator-central]

Taken from the Wikipedia page. Even Trent Reznor said it's not his song anymore.

Yes, the Body Certainly Does Keep the Score.

Also. Why are we suddenly taking cancel culture to trauma research?

THINKING ABOUT HIM AGAIN

i saw this post earlier about therapists and it reminded me of my old therapist paul, who in my opinion is one of the greatest men alive and who did not put up with my bullshit for even one second

anyway i go in to see paul one week in the summer of 2016, and i’m doing my usual bullshit which consists of me talking shit about myself, and paul is staring at me, and then he cuts me off and says that he’s got a new tool for helping people recognize when they’re using negative language, and gets up and goes over to his desk

and i’m like alright hit me with that sweet sweet self-help article my man, because i’m a linguistic learner and whenever paul’s like here i have a tool for you to use it’s pretty much always an article or a book or something

paul opens a drawer, takes something out, and turns back around. i stare.

i say, paul.

is that a nerf gun.

yeah, says paul.

i say, are you gonna shoot me with a nerf gun in this professional setting.

he happily informs me that that’s really up to me, isn’t it. and sits back down. and gestures, like, go ahead, what were you saying?

and i squint suspiciously and start back up about how i’m having too much anxiety to leave the house to run errands, like it was a miracle to even get here, like i’ve forgone getting groceries for the past week and that’s so stupid, what a stupid issue, i’m an idiot, how could i–

a foam dart hits me in the leg.

i go, hey! because my therapist just shot me in the leg. paul blinks at me placidly and raises an eyebrow. i squint again.

i say, slowly, it’s– not a stupid issue, i’m not stupid, but it’s frustrating me and i don’t want it to be a problem i’m having.

no dart this time. okay. sweet.

so the rest of the hour passes with me intermittently getting nailed with tiny foam darts and then swearing and then fixing my language and, wouldn’t you know it, i start liking myself a little more by the end of the session, which is mildly infuriating because paul can tell and he’s very smug about it 

anyway i leave his office and the lady having the next appointment walks in and i hear what’s all over the floor? and paul very seriously says cognitive behavioral therapy tools.

[pusheenthenerdcat]

unironically this is how therapy is supposed to go. if you don’t like your therapist get a new one!!! there’s all sorts!

Mine, in addition to being the reason my idiolect has the word “homie” in it, clocked my shit immediately and insisted on discussing emotions instead of logic and not being too formal about it. We also talk about star wars and sometimes it’s bigger picture themes and sometimes it’s just “holy shit star wars is cool!” Also last appt i mentioned i was going shoe shopping and he was like “just warning you this is one of those topics i might be neurodivergent about” and i was like “alright bet” so i got to hear a brief infodump which was epic. I mean, I’ve had three therapists and this one is simultaneously the most informal yet leaps and bounds the most effective for me. I don’t even go to him for autism treatment but I have a sneaking suspicion he’s coaching me on how to deal with social situations anyway. And I don’t even care if im being tricked into practicing socialising because guess who used to have a laundry list of ptsd triggers and now only has a normal amount?

I mean if you think about it from a broader perspective, everyone is different and mental healthcare cannot be one size fits all. On a smaller scale, admitting to embarrassing thoughts is a lot easier with someone you can trust and if whimsy helps you build trust that works!

Fun fact, California is one of relatively few states in the Union that allows first-cousin marriage. New York is another. Largely, in both cases, because of the Orthodox Jewish lobby—Orthodox Jews having historically married not only first cousins, but nieces, the thinking being that keeping your sibling from worrying about their daughter finding a husband was being a good brother.

Nah but those Southern Evangelicals are backward and inbred, right?

Breaking News: Number of Notes ≠ Verification!

[unaffiliatedpangolin]

See, they say “tax the rich” but then they tax fuel, and fast food, and gym memberships, and pet grooming, and delivery services, and soda, and the miles you drive in your car, your income, your inheritance.

They don’t raise the threshold of the tax brackets, they don’t cut taxes that eat up a larger portion of low income budgets, they don’t want to cut the fraud.

They just want to make your life more expensive, and then blame it on the rich, and then tell you the tax hikes are going to affect rich people (they won’t).

[lordascapelion]

Fucking gym memberships??? Where???

Democrats hate the working class.

[witch-hattery]

Democrats are basically villains with good PR. The real life version of the twist villain who everyone in the movie thinks is great but is later revealed to be the source of the entire problem.

For "tax the rich" specifically, the government puts out high-bracket taxes, and then just keeps most of that money, giving back crumbs.

And the business taxes? Consider that protection money. New and small businesses need to put more of their profit to work in order to grow and get a foothold to survive, while bigger more established businesses have better economies of scale and large consumer bases. (And that's just getting started with all the ways the government protects already-made-it's against up-and-comers in the business world.)

I'm so tired.

When did it basically become "having an interest in something is autistic"?

Go to train museums or like trains? Must be autistic.

Put a song on repeat? Must be autistic.

Are you a birdwatcher? Must be autistic.

Did you dream about something you enjoy? Must be autistic.

Having a hobby, favorite song, or good dreams doesn't make someone autistic. A person can be autistic and also do these things, but doing these things doesn't make them autistic.

We went from people avoiding labels because they didn’t want to be reduced, to people desperately grabbing for labels because they want to belong to something.

[riflebrass]

I had this conversation with my sister the other day. She brought up that meme about old people saying autism didn't exist in their day but they keep scrapbooks full of cakes from magazines or some shit.

So I complained that every fucking hobby these days is "autism". You're not allowed to have any passion in life without it being autism.

Her response was that with autism it's called a "special interest". It's not just a hobby it's an obsession so strong that it takes priority over responsibilities. Adults with autism might not pay their bills because they are so obsessed with stuffed animals or something.

I circled back to her point about old people keeping pictures of cakes in a scrapbook. Is that really a special interest? No mention was made of these cake pictures covering all the walls or taking up shelves upon shelves. Whenever people use this argument they never go into detail about how they are obsessive over these things. They just make it sound like any niche interest that's not sports or pop culture is autism.

[echoictwistofshadow-deactivated]

This is why I get pissed when people say "it's a hobby, not a hyperfixation!"

Like no. Hi. Hello. With ADHD, if you hyperfixate, you literally forget to eat. You forget very important things all the time. The hyperfixation /consumes/ you and makes it close to impossible to do anything else.

It's not our fault idiots act like their normie level collector obsession is hyperfixation. But that does not invalidate our existence and terms, thank you.

Here. Have these grating but entertaining and educational videos. Should make it REALLY EASY to understand.

Reblog this picture of me holding a Family Size box of Honey Nut Cheerios? I’d really appreciate it.
