it’s actually quite easy to take over a small local government group if you really want to, bc if you volunteer consistently people will just put you in charge of whatever. I’m now one of like three people at a nature preserve making official decisions about trails, putting in a prairie, and designing a series of illustrations for a storybook trail etc., and it’s just because last summer I started coming over once a week to help the naturalist out for a couple hours. Mine now. you too can steal an organization and shape it to your will 🫵

it IS spooky season. to me.

As one of eight kids, I don't think I can describe just how it comes across when you play the shocked-and-judgemental "she had HOW many kids??" card. There's this weird calculation to it that I don't think anyone intends, but reads emotionally as an intrinsic threat. Like, okay, hi I'm number five. Am I too many? Do you want me to Not Exist?

I get no notes because as soon as someone finishes reading my post they are compelled to put down their phone and experience the wonders of the world around them with fresh eyes

[blackleatherjesster]

Because of how bad the post is

[what-even-is-thiss]

Here’s the thing. Refusing to accept a compliment can be mildly insulting to the person you’re refusing the compliment from.

It’s like you don’t believe them or don’t respect their opinion basically.

[granolagaeilgeoir]

Languages tend to peak at their word for butterfly. Never seen 2 that are the same, either. Papillon. Mariposa. Borboleta. Fluture. Vlinder. Schmetterling. Pillangó. Babochka. Farfalla. Sommerfugl. Perhonen. Farasha. Titali. Chōchō. Nabi. Húdié. Buom buom. Great job guys, i really mean it.

ive said this before but it was on my old blog so I'm saying it again

dehumanizing abusers is not effective at doing anything other than make people think they're ontologically incapable of violence

[ajunicetryagain]

it's also creating a class of people who you can abuse while telling yourself that you're Good and Moral and Not an Abuser.

[kyraneko]

if you dehumanize the caught abusers then the uncaught abusers will use their humanity as proof of innocence

if you dehumanize the hypothetical abusers you create incentives for false accusations as a means of dehumanization whenever dehumanization is desired for other reasons

[dreamsofgoodthings]

Humanized abusers are likely to stop abusing and get therapy. Removal of their humanity tends to reinforce all or nothing ideology. They either dig their heels in, or go full throttle into worse abuse. My little sib was a scapegoat child and they'd leaned into it cause they were gonna be blamed regardless.

This is a warning and a plea.

[sidlingmooselike]

THIS and also!

If we make Abuser a permanent category that people can enter but never leave, we never have to look at the REASONS many people harm each other (trauma, addiction, mental illness, lack of guidance in early life, and so many others) because if someone causes harm it was just because they're An Abuser and a bad person and we don't need to look at ways to improve as a society and heal the sources of perpetuated harm.

[granolagaeilgeoir]

Please! Please stop using others' mistakes and bad decisions to justify attacking them with your words and actions! Public humiliation drops people straight into a category and shaking off that label is darn near impossible in today's world! It's heartbreaking to those close to them, no matter how upset they may be with them as well, and it destroys lives. Mercy, love, and kindness change lives! Why would you seek destruction instead? Please stop!

[f-ireflowers]

Please pray for a friend. I'm worried.

What if one of you becomes a saint and visiting your blog is like visiting a holy site

[aetas-aurea]

So many women have internalized the idea that being difficult makes people think less of them, when in my experience the opposite is almost always true. Every single time I have spoken up, voiced what I actually need and refused to shrink the moment in order to be more comfortable for everyone else in the room, I have been approached afterward by people who wanted to know me better. There is no reward waiting for you on the other side of making yourself smaller. People do not love you more for taking up less space, they simply get used to you taking up less space and adjust their expectations accordingly. Every time I have been exactly as audacious as the moment required, it has opened doors rather than closed them and I have made real connections directly because of it rather than in spite of it.

Please, please pray for my family.
