had a dream about these two clowns doing bits together back and forth and one clown is getting increasingly sincere in his comedy and he tells the other clown to kiss him so they do and when the other clown pulls back he looks to the audience and goes "it's more than just a joke after all" and then I woke up

DEREK HALE “MAGIC BULLET”

[gentlewordsdaily]

I think one of the loneliest feelings in the world is trying to tell someone that you are struggling and immediately being handed solutions. Not because people are unkind, and not because they do not care, but because sometimes what you are looking for is not an answer. Sometimes you already know the answer. You already know what you should do, what coping skill you should try, what phone call you should make, what step comes next. The problem is not a lack of knowledge. The problem is that you are tired.

Tired people do not always need instructions. Sometimes they need understanding. Sometimes they need someone to look at everything they have been carrying and simply acknowledge that it is heavy. Sometimes they need someone to sit beside them and say, "That sounds really hard," instead of trying to turn their pain into a problem-solving exercise.

I think a lot of people spend so much time being resilient that they forget how desperately they want comfort. They become so used to handling things alone that when they finally admit they are struggling, what they secretly hope for is warmth. Reassurance. Gentleness. The feeling of not having to carry everything by themselves for a moment.

So if you have been wishing somebody would stop giving advice and just hold space for you, I hope you know there is nothing wrong with that. Wanting comfort does not mean you are weak. Wanting kindness does not mean you are incapable. It just means you are human.

I am sorry things have been so difficult. I am sorry you have been carrying so much. You do not have to justify your exhaustion or earn your right to be comforted. You deserve compassion simply because you are hurting, and sometimes a hug really is more helpful than a hundred solutions.

If you are reading this and thinking, "I do not need advice. I think I need a hug," then this is me offering one.

A big, warm, virtual hug.

The kind where nobody expects anything from you. The kind where you do not have to explain yourself or justify why you are struggling. The kind where you can just exist for a minute and let yourself be tired.

You do not have to earn comfort. You do not have to prove that things are bad enough. If you are hurting, you deserve kindness.

You are going to be okay.

if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig

[pekkhum]

I have heard of black people warning their kids that the race of a police officer is cop and you should not expect solidarity from them. The same applies to other types of minorities.

The sexuality of a police officer is cop.

The gender of a police officer is cop.

When you become the enforcer and protector of capital, you are making the deal to be slightly favored by the system over others like you, in exchange for being its servant. Your solidarity is with the system that you serve, even if it hates you.

If you want solidarity with those the system hates, you cannot be the system's servant and defender.

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

As a certified Hater (tm) one of the things I find irksome are exchanges like this:

Person A: I tried The Thing but it didn't really work for me, does it get better as it goes?

Person B: Actually it's really good from the very beginning, some of the best Thing ever.

This? Not helpful. I get the impulse to defend a thing you love immediately, but invalidating the opinion of Person A isn't going to convince them they're wrong and they should just trust you and continue. Be honest!! "Yeah, the acting gets better as the characters get into their roles." "Yeah, it's confusing at the jump but it all comes together in a satisfying way." "No the sound quality doesn't actually improve over time, sorry, but once the plot picks up you'll notice it less."

Or even, "the rest of the Thing is pretty much exactly like this, so if it really didn't work for you, maybe it's not a good fit. Maybe try Thang instead."

If you're trying to get someone to give your favorite thing a chance, "actually your opinion is wrong" right out of the gate isn't helping. Put that little "your feelings are valid" treat in your open palm and approach earnestly. It works so much better.
