Quote of the day
I’m seeing a lot of people saying this post changed their brain chemistry, and as a neuroscientist I wanted to say yes!!! Yes it does!
Wanting something requires dopamine signaling, but liking something doesn’t.
If you have a mental illness/disorder that affects dopamine, you might feel that you don’t want to do the things that you like. You do still like them. You will appreciate having done them.
Let your likes guide you.
(If you want to read more, here’s one experimental paper about it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5171207/ This theory called the incentive-sensitization theory was originally created to explain behaviors in addiction but can be applied elsewhere as well)
Rewards are both ‘liked’ and ‘wanted’, and those two words seem almost interchangeable. However, the brain circuitry that mediates the psych
[ID: Focus on your likes, not your wants. You may not want to exercise, but you like how it makes you feel. You may not want to write, but you like the feeling of accomplishment. You may not want to wake up early, but you like the calm beauty of morning. Wanting is the desire you feel before doing something. Liking is the satisfaction you feel after doing something. Let your likes guide you. End ID.]

Let July be July. Let August be August. And let yourself just be even in the uncertainty. You don’t have to fix everything. You don’t have solve everything. And you can still find peace and grow in the wild of changing things.

[ID: Thread on Twitter that reads as follows:
1st Post: “Is it okay to ship them??” “Is this trope bad??” I’m begging y’all to stop asking for “permission” to enjoy fiction. You know yourself. You know that you’re a good person. You know that enjoying a ship or trope won’t change that. Please just ship, write, and draw what you want.
2nd Post: Why do you care what a bunch of randos in your fandom think? Even if you’re asking your mutuals, again, YOU know yourself the best. YOU know that you’re capable of enjoying fiction without condoning or mirroring those things in real life. So who gives af what others think? The people y’all are asking if it’s “okay” to enjoy something fictional are busybodies. Why are you asking the Karens of Fandom for permission to ship something? This is fandom. It’s not an HOA. Do whatever you want. You don’t need permission to enjoy something fictional.

“Young people are lonely and don’t party anymore” Nobody has any money. Every apartment in NYC has been spliced into 4 bedrooms with a living room the size of a closet. Everything costs twice what it did 10 years ago. People retreat into their screens because the screen is free. Culture requires free time. It requires a city where artists can bartend 3 days a week and cover rent. The kids who would do that are working 5-6 days a week and then posting their shit on Instagram praying the algorithm plucks them from precarity. It’s extremely sad. End ID.]

I love Jacob Tierney!!

[ID: "We as queer people need to check our messaging," Tierney says. "The things that we decide women can or can't do can really be exhausting. Women are allowed to write about men. They're allowed to write about gay men. The question should be, how are they writing about us? Is it with empathy? Is it with allyship? Is it with with kindness? Why are we looking for enemies here instead of looking for allies?" End ID.]

to me, there's an innate horror in tradwife content. it's always a pretty young girl in her late teens, early 20s. she's so young. she's basically a baby herself. maybe she's about your age. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.
either way, she always has at least three kids, sometimes more. you don't want to ask when she had them, but she had to have them young because her youngest had to have been born when she was at least seventeen based on how time works. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.
she's smiling but there's something missing in her eyes - a spark that should be there. there's no passion, there's just the movements of the day. sometimes she'll give an interview where she says she barely feels like getting out of bed, and other times she says nothing. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.
her world isn't real - it's neat kitchens and made from scratch cheese. she tells you how she doesn't need feminism because she likes this life, she likes wearing pretty dresses, don't you dare pity her. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.
you scroll up to an ex tradewife in her forties talking about how her husband divorced her and left her for a younger girl, leaving her destitute and penniless and twenty years out of the workforce. you scroll again to a pretty young girl saying she doesn't need a job, her husband will take care of her. you scroll again. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.
another woman, this time in her early thirties, talking about how she just managed to leave her abusive husband and has nothing and he took the kids, warning and pleading young girls to not fall for tradwife lies. you scroll again to a young tradwife girl saying that would never happen to her, and you're just jealous of her. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.
you scroll again. a teen girl tells you that she'll just track her period, she doesn't NEED a toxic chemical like birth control. you scroll again to an obgyn pleading with young girls to understand birth control is just hormonal, and that period tracking isn't effective. you just watch happen. you can't save her.
you scroll again, and it's jd vance saying how women belong in the homes and shouldn't be allowed to vote. that their husbands should decide how they should vote. you scroll again to a domestic abuse counselor telling women their vote is private and they can lie to their husbands. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.
she doesn't want you to save her. how dare you pity her. you just watch it happen. you can't save her. a horrible feeling washes over you. you just watch it happen.
[ID: A comment from the original poster that reads "every single time i get a rb i get worried a terf will rb so reminder: feminism includes trans people. we are not free until we are all free. tradwifery relies heavily on transphobia & reinforcement of 1950s gender roles to enforce it, and as a result, trans people MUST be included in the discussion regarding conservative propaganda."

This
[ID: One day my mother casually said, ‘we never worried about you, you always knew how to take care of yourself.’ And it broke something quietly inside me. Because what sounds like pride also feels like loneliness. It means no one ever really looked too closely, no one wondered if the strong one was tired. It means I learned to carry the weight so well that no one thought to help me set it down. And maybe that's the silent cost of being 'capable', you stop being seen as someone who also needs softness. You become the safe place for everyone but never quite have one of your own. And in that moment, I realized strength had been my survival, but it had also been my isolation. End ID.]

"if being hard on yourself was going to work it would have worked by now" okay well being soft on myself isn't working either so what the fuck is left. medium? I gotta be medium with myself? I gotta ask the fucking ghosts for help? is that it?
[ID: Tags that read #i mean yeah. you gotta be medium with yourself. thats exactly right. extremes wont help you here #if saying “if i cant finish this one single simple then im a worthless sack of shit who always lets everyone down” doesnt work #and saying “its ok life is hard ill just take a day off for self care and a day off for self care and a day off for sel-” ALSO doesnt work #then maybe you gotta say “man this task sucks ass but i still gotta do it and once its done then ill treat myself to something nice for it!” #you are a complicated animal but you are still just an animal. positive reinforcement works #push yourself to do the hard thing and then do the soft thing next. let yourself revel in your accomplishment for a while #it really is the medium ground sad to say.
