@hearteiji hi this reminds me so much of your writing

[hearteiji]

I’m literally crying wtf 🥺😭

missing my parents sobs…

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

kudos aren’t enough. I need to express my love to fanfic writers by serenading them in their front yards at night like a lovesick poet in the 50s

[hearteiji]

I feel blessed every time I get a notification that you’ve put something on ao3 🖤

Every time your breath catches my heart stutters from across the world. *clears throat, demeanor turns casual* Thanks for the support.

[hearteiji]

If I had to make love to a stranger off the street like we had been married for 30 years it would actually be quite easy for me. Nothing more enamoring than my fellow man. Love thy neighbor

[hearteiji]

Burning a candle at both ends is such a beautiful way to put it. Additionally, you’re a sight for sore eyes. Like yeah. I know what you mean.

[hearteiji]

I love you guys so fucking much everything is wonderful and amazing and I hope that you enjoy my writing and my stories and that we can all smoke weed together and cuddle 🦉

"sometimes you absolutely ARE required to do things in life for the good of other people, even if you hate it" loud incorrect buzzer noise

pure individualism is a disease that kills communities, isolates individuals, and leads to things like the anti-vax movement.

you are not so important that you aren't bound by social responsibility and decency.

others are not so insignificant that they don't deserve help and sacrifice.

[moniquill]

ok but this is so abstracted; are we talking about The Social Contract here, or about Bodily Autonomy?

Because "sometimes you absolutely ARE required to do things in life for the good of other people, even if you hate it" really REALLY depends upon what the Things in this statement are.

[iwilleatyourenglish]

i'm honestly getting really tired of these comments. virtually nothing said here should make you think i am discussing bodily autonomy. i do not understand how what i said is confusing and am open to hearing what is abstract.

if you live in a society, you owe it to others to participate.

you are socially obligated to do things like defend human rights, offer others basic decency (unless they are actively harming society ie white nationalists, billionaires, etc), and assist those in need whenever possible. take care of yourself, yes, but not only yourself.

you will sometimes have to do things that you find inconvenient, annoying, or downright hard.

you will sometimes have to help a friend move, do extra chores when a housemate is sick, pick up a grieving coworker's slack, or support a family member who is struggling.

you are not the center of the universe. no one is.

also: it is obvious by the "SOMETIMES" that i do not think people are obligated to do whatever is asked of them always. it feels frankly disingenuous to imply i need to hold everyone's hand and somehow predict every situation where helping others is necessary. if you are an adult, you have to consider others and make that call.

This post appeared on my For You page devoid of context.

No, it is not obvious that the statement "sometimes you absolutely ARE required to do things in life for the good of other people, even if you hate it" has nothing to do with bodily autonomy, because it is on its face a statement that is very often used by (specifically) anti-abortion activists to deny people who are pregnant the right to autonomy over their own physical body.

It is not "obvious by the "SOMETIMES" that i do not think people are obligated to do whatever is asked of them always."

I asked a clarifying question. Rather than answer the clarifying question, you wrote 210 words about 'getting really tired of these comments'

Wouldn't it have been simpler to point me at the context that this statement was made in?

[iwilleatyourenglish]

nothing about what i said makes this seem like i'm being anti choice or discussing abortion. i also answered your question.

i can't make you stop projecting random intentions that are not there onto my post. that's a you issue.

[iwilleatyourenglish]

hey there hetchdrive! i see you reblogged this with a bad faith and unflattering portrayal of me then blocked me almost instantly so i couldn't reply! pretty mean and weird! anyways, that's not remotely what happened!

i was stressed about going to a wedding for several reasons, including the fact that it was expensive AND i'm autistic and mentally ill and thus struggle deeply at large social events (it was over 200 people!). i'm also queer and knew some people in attendance would be deeply heteronormative, which can be really hard for me.

the person whose wedding it was is a family member who i love very much. he made it very clear i did NOT need to come, but i knew it would be really special to him if i attended, so i did! and he was so, so happy i came! he keeps sending me photos all these weeks later and talking about how much it meant to him.

i made a few posts on my personal blog expressing stress.

i don't even remember the details of the asks i got, but some people were kind of rude and basically said i should just shut up and not go if i didn't want to. i said "sometimes you absolutely ARE required to do things in life for the good of other people, even if you hate it."

then i got several anons shitting on the general idea of what i had just said and arguing we don't need to do anything we don't want to ever, no longer even regarding the context. i chose to respond to this one to express my general approach to life and belief system. i never knew it would get notes or that people like you would use it to lie about me and denigrate my beliefs.

Hi honey, the state of the country is extremely devastating right now,very anxiety inducing, just wanted to ask,how have you been?

Thank you so much for asking baby! I’m not gonna share too many details on the state I live in, but you all know I’m Mexican and only a few hours away from the border.

What is happening right now is purely rooted in racism. There’s not much more to say. There is a new wave of comfortable and proud nazism very parallel to traditional Jewish hate happening amongst groups of specifically targeted minorities.

Where I live, Mexicans are the majority population and I believe the mass deportations will not only destroy families and push this hate agenda, but also cause the economy to take a major hit. I was a blue collar mechanic out here, a kitchen worker, etc. I am speaking from firsthand experience when I say we are the majority when it comes to construction, food, maintenance work, and engineering.

We are noticeably comfortable with racism these days. It is the first time in my generation that I have seen a politician openly express these judgements without appropriate backlash. I cannot believe so many people in this country supported him and there is no doubt that those who did are just racist. I don’t really care. ‘A vote for the economy’ when they are too fucking stupid to realize immigrants ARE PART OF OUR FUCKING ECONOMY !!! DID YOU THINK ELONS STUPID ASS WAS ABOUT TO GO FARM YOUR EGGS WHEN HE DOESNT KNOW A CHICKENS HEAD FROM ITS ASS? If you have never worked blue collar you shouldn’t get to vote tbh.

The transgender hate train going on is a moral hysteria—they are currently a lightning rod for hate in the LGBT+ community. There is no logic, statistic, or reason behind the influx of anti-transness in this country. Literally none. But bigotry is not and has never been reasonable, so I guess that adds up.

It kinda reminds me of the ‘should trans people be allowed in the Olympics’ conversation where it’s like. Trans people get killed for being trans and you’re concerned about the sanctity of the track & field category 💀 there is no statistic for the trans bathroom hysteria, because trans people are not cartoon villains. And yet here we are, making everyone in office take pronouns out of their email sign offs. The stupidity and hatred combo is like—fucking insane. It would be funny if it wasn’t real.

Thank you for asking baby, I hope you’re okay. I literally hope everyone is okay. I know most of the people who follow me fall under many umbrellas as many online communities do. If anyone needs anything, please message me !!!

ppl talk about the difficulty of writing characters smarter than yourself, but the real challenge is writing a character who is funnier than you are
