Just letting everyone know I’m reading a book right now. I also drank 7 glasses of water yesterday. Im not saying explicitly that I’m a better person than you, but it is heavily heavily implied. Heaven is going to be awesome!

The most basic, intractable fact about mental illnesses is that you simply cannot willpower your way out of them. The only exceptions to this rule are the ones I have, which continue to disable me due to lack of determination and other grave personal flaws

Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???

[urlocalpyshcopan]

as a black gay person real like where y'all be finding this stuff pass the name

[brainsforbabyjesus]

for real though, those DO NOT WATCH OR YOU'LL CORRUPT YOUR CHILDREN lists put out by conservative christian family groups is where I find all the stellar tv shows. Like, shit I didn't know half of those existed, thanks for finding them for me, gonna go watch 30 hours of gay tv now!

I think I know how this works.

For personal context, before I went to the '98 Burning Man festival, one of the things I'd read from a couple different journalists was that "everybody" runs around naked. Which, fine by me, I'd already spent a lot of time in clothing-optional spaces, I'm not fanatic about it but it's nice.

So I got there early and set up a public shade structure on one of Black Rock City's main roads and spent most of each afternoon just watching the crowds go by. I don't remember seeing more than one actually naked person the whole week. I think a topless woman passed by my intersection maybe every half an hour, sometimes once an hour. So why in the hell were people, normally pretty smart and observant writers, coming away with the impression that everybody was naked?

Then I remembered an unrelated passage from Joel Garreau's great book about the history of the outer-ring suburbs, Edge City. Mall developers told him flat-out that they tried to keep the crowds in their malls less than 5% black. Not because they themselves were racist, but because they had determined, experimentally, that if more than 5% of the people in the mall are black, the median white shopper will wrongly describe the mall as at least half black, as mostly black. And not a few of them would describe it, at 6% black, as a mall where "only black people go." Why?

Because, emotionally, they were still upset over the last one when the next one came into view.

Same as the journalists describing Black Rock City as all naked. Same as the right-wing religious culture warriors describing television as entirely mixed-race and gender non-conforming. Not because it's even vaguely true, we know that, but because they haven't gotten over their discomfort over the last one by the time the next one comes along. The anger, not the stimulus, is the part that's continuous, so their mind lies to them that it's "all" the thing they can't get over.

Genuinely really truly feeling like. Either i get surgery before/by the time im 27 or im dead by 2028. I cannot STAAAAND this feeling anymore. It feels like...im carrying some mutated abnormal growth that im just. Supposed to be okay with? All the time forever? I cant SIT right i cant STAND right i cant LAY right i cant BREATHE right. I happened to look at some diagram about this shit and it made me genuinely physically nauseous bc what it was defining looked like a parasite buried deep deep into the tissue. Like the thought of it was so bad it had my paranoia spiralling. Whaaat the fuck. What do you mean its at least $10,000 fucking dollars to get rid of this shit. Im gonna pay some sadist pervert $20 to do a hackjob for their benefit. The $20 is so they stitch me up otherwise theyd be paying me. Ten Thousand Dollar Fuck You. That's another 8 months BARE FUCKINGGG MINIMUM if i spend on NOTHING but bills and minimal food but you knowwww somethings gonna go wrong and reset my savings AGAIN. Holy shit. Im lightheaded over this im so done with existing as i am lmao. There is no respite from this feeling physically or mentally. Any physical comfort just reminds me this problem exists and nullifies said comfort. I am in pain

Rewatched iron lung (finally) here are some notes I took of things I missed without captions and a smaller screen

The COI made him burn his Eden tattoo off himself, according to him.

Blink and you miss it, the Quiet Rapture was twenty years ago (makes sense with the timeline for Simon)

Eden has a place called the grove and that’s where the bodies go to the Last Tree

“You are not gonna kill me when I get up there are you?” Peak fawning behavior. Lots of begging and fawning. He fawns a lot actually. Fight or Fawn.

Finds comfort in the leather patch on his hood??

Reaches for it when feeling scared.

Rubs the patch before ripping it off his hood. “I’m not dying down here”

Quick to anger but regulates fast

“Would you give anything to survive?” “Yeah. But I never had anything to begin with” and then holds the sprout.

Ellie telling him he will live and WE will survive

“We are all. We are one. In the blood.”

The “patch” was his mother’s.

She gave him a knife pouch, and it’s studded like his patch.

“Would she despise the killer she raised? Or would she be proud?”

He wraps it around the black box and that’s why he tells his mom to keep it safe.

“Your ship is alive”

“Pray that you stay dead”
