-Interviewer: How did you make the prince fall in love with you?

-Simón: Not much, I just told him to his face that I hate his family and everything they represent and he was like "that's hot"

The royal court letting Wilhelm manage Simon’s media training/behaviour is so fucking funny like. This boy was introduced in s1 by being dragged away from a rave, who said fuck it and pulled rank in the most absurd ways in s2, who threatened the queen via speaker phone, who pulled a gun on his cousin, who impulsively changed his royal initiation speech midway and publicly came out to the entire country. That wilhelm? You want that wilhelm to tell his boyfriend to lay low? Ma’am pls 🤡

Halloween is huge where I live, which is great for me cause I love Halloween, but the Shehab children don't get the luxury of enjoying holidays anymore. They have been forced to grow up far too fast, and are now in urgent need of food and warm clothes.

So, if you're planning on buying candy or something for your costume, skip it this year and donate that money to these children instead. They deserve a chance at life just like the rest of us. If you voted, either reblog or donate. Do SOMETHING to help. Don't look away from genocide!

meanwhile notes put up by the guy hired by my dad to help with foreign guests at his little ryokan in rural japan (“my english is not perfect,” said the guy earnestly. “but i think i can always get the meaning across.” “great,” said my dad. “that’s all that matters.”):

This reminds me of being in China and coming across a sign that read “The peaceful grass is sleeping. Please do not tread”

Men can be good.  Men can be gentle.  Men can be wonderful fathers and faithful husbands.  Men can be solid providers both emotionally and financially.  Men are capable of love and empathy. Gay men, straight men, bi men, trans men, MOC, disabled men, all can be lovely people.  Im not a feminist because I hate men, Im a feminist because I believe in the full potential of their humanity and that their natural state is NOT to be raping, abusing, murdering dickheads.

"No one remembered my birthday-" Well, but did YOU tell anyone it was coming up and you wanted to celebrate it with them?

"I wish someone would see through it when I tell people I'm fine-" Well, but have YOU considered not lying when people ask you how you're doing?

"I am so resentful of my friend because they keep doing this thing that really bothers me-" Well, but have YOU directly communicated that the thing is bothering you?

"I am burning out because my friend keeps expecting me to help them with serious struggles-" Well, but have YOU tried to establish the boundaries you need to feel okay?

"No one ever asks me about this thing I really care about-" Well, but have YOU brought it up yourself?

"I miss my friend but they haven't texted me-" Well, but have YOU been reaching out to them?

Sometimes people are mean, uncaring assholes, in which case you get to be mad. But sometimes you just need to communicate better. Try communication before you assume someone doesn't care!

Having someone who knows you on such a deep level that they see past your mask, or sense you need a check in is such a deep satisfying fantasy. It's up there with living in a cottagecore farm, or buying all your friends houses when you win the lottery. But you have to make peace with the fact that this is also a fantasy. It is unfair to expect people to "just know" when to respect your boundaries or to push them.

Being cared for is not a fantasy. But you have to let people know you need it. And you have to understand that sometimes they will let you down. Just like you totally could live in a cute farm, but you still have to shovel shit, and the crops sometimes die anyway. Or maybe you win the lottery, but you still have to manage your money and learn real estate law.

The fantasy isn't the caring, the fantasy is not having to do the work. And it sucks. It's embarrassing. But like the meme says, it's not rotten if it's YOU. So do it for yourself.

My cats have this meow that means "please come with me to fix this" after which they'll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or 'empty') food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the 'problem', they look back at me, clear message.

What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my 'power.' I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. "Please fix this" they say. "Please get rid of the wet"

"Silly kitty," I say, "I can't control the rain." I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain.

Okay I don’t even know if this will reach anyone but someday I want to write a novel about religious trauma and religious abuse and how religious people who claim to be holy really just… intentionally (or maybe unintentionally in some cases) abuse the shit out of children and women and minority groups.

Also how churches just shelter sexual abusers, and how sexual abusers use holy texts to justify their actions and threaten their victims into silence.

I am compiling a data base of cruel and unusual religious punishments (mostly to make sure I’m not crazy) but also to have a better understanding of exactly how religious abuse is manifested in different situations.

Some examples: a mother physically SITTING on a “disobedient” child while singing the famous hymn “Trust and Obey”

A young woman whose creepy traveling Christian musician uncle would travel to various churches and tell children’s story, during children’s story he would LICK his nieces face, from eyeball to chin, and the entire church would laugh. Her father looked on, and didn’t care how visibly uncomfortable his daughter was.

Finally, and this is just one of my own experiences. I suffer from horrible menstruation symptoms, and my mother refused to allow me to take any pain medicine, because it would not allow for me to have a “clear mind” to hear the Holy Spirit.

Anyway, I know that this can be quite traumatizing to share… but I’m just putting feelers out there… is there anyone willing to step forward and share their traumatic religious experiences?

It’s for research and understand and deconstructing purposes only.

I have a co-morbidity that left me in fear for my life when COVID first started. I literally thought it was only a matter of time before I got it and died. My previous job (at a Christian non-profit) took no precautions and gave me no accommodations. When I explained I could die, my boss, who was a good friend, told me that’s okay and that I shouldn’t live in fear because “You’ll go to heaven and be with Jesus when you die.”

I quit the next week without having a backup plan and had to spend a year barely scraping by, all because my boss valued work and God more than me as an actual, living person.

i dont know how else to put this but to approach books (or any media, really) solely for the sake of relatability is genuinely incredibly heartbreaking……to have such little (or such unwilling) imaginative scope that you cannot stretch yourself, even marginally, in a different direction to what you’ve known or are used to knowing when the very POINT of stories is to transport you somewhere else, into someone else, so you can do just that……..when fran lebowiz said a book “is supposed to be a door!” and george saunders said good prose “is like empathy training wheels” they were right!!! they were so so so SO absolutely entirely right!!!!!

Is Therapy-Speak Making Us Selfish?

Boundaries are important. But our relationships require a touch more compassion than some online blueprints offer.

brb gonna go on a spiral thinking abt this all weekend (bc i think its insanely true)

[the2headedcalf-movedagain]

no bc these people literally treat others as two-dimensional figures in their self-centered universe, affording them no agency, no recognition of their inner lives and emotions. it is always things like "this isn't beneficial to me" "i am caring for my inner child" "i am focusing on myself during this particular time in my life" "i owe nothing to other people" "my boundaries" "my feelings" me me me......there is no mention of other people's boundaries and emotions, because to them other people are npcs that are either useful to their "personal journey" or easily disposable nuiances that they can get rid of with a stock phrase plucked from a leaflet at a therapist's office

[chimmiemins]

A very helpful thing to remember is that a boundary is where *you end and another person begins*. This does not mean that you have to accept everything into your life, but it does mean that people outside of you will do the things they do. It's best to treat everyone with the respect you give yourself when it comes to boundaries. If you want people to allow you to be human in your relationships, allow them the same.
