i wrote this post with happy tears in my eyes sitting in a parking lot after getting coffee for 3 hours with someone i did youth shakespeare with when we were teenagers and hadn't seen in 15 years, in which time we both transitioned, got into nerd shit, found a job that feels good, found people to spend our gay little lives with, and coincidentally moved to the same city. this is exactly how it felt. never ever ever kill yourself

This is why so many parents think "gentle parenting" doesn't work.

To them, "gentle parenting" means abusing them constantly then stopping for a week.

Abuse, especially from someone who they're required to live with, fully dependent on, and prohibited from defending themselves against, causes lifelong trauma. The trauma doesn't vanish when it stops being convenient. Your goal from the beginning was to traumatize them and hope the trauma would make them obedient. Now that you realize that their trauma isn't manifesting in a way that benefits you, you want it to disappear on your command.

Also, everything you listed could be a disability trait. And you never taught them how to cope with their disability. You only taught them to mask in order to avoid punishment.

Also the pattern I've seen is that they go from abusive behavior to... zero boundaries, call it gentle parenting, and dismiss the whole thing as if they actually tried a parenting technique rather than straight up neglecting their kids for a week just to prove a point.

This is exactly what happens when you talk to people about police/prison abolition. They just can't conceive that the absence of authoritarianism could be filled by something better.

I never watched BBC Sherlock or engaged in the fandom and being into original Sherlock Holmes in the year 2024 feels like frolicking in a meadow that’s grown up over a battlefield. Occasionally a war weary veteran with shadows in their eyes will find me. “Don’t you know what happened in this place?” they ask me. “I literally don’t,” I reply, and go back to drawing guys from 1895.

A doll youtuber I watch has made a video about the history of Polly Pocket, and she's describing the plots of the dvd specials, one of which features an elderly woman named Ms. Throckmorton, and my reaction was

Do you like my powerful fashion innovations or do you think I should be the first guy sentenced to lifelong Antarctic exile for being kinda gay? No third option.

so far one theme of the 30s for me has been realizing that literally every human being on earth who appears completely cool and collected and together with it at first glance has some threshold past which enough known information about them will shatter that mystique completely. i don't even say this negatively or pessimistically it's just been helpful to keep in mind that we're all like that.
