the best piece of relationship advice i ever got was “a relationship isn’t 50/50, it’s 60/40 with each party excited to be the 60”. which to me means that you should be with someone who makes you want to do more, be more, open your heart even wider. why WOULDNT you like making life easier for your loved one(s)?

[faerie-fangs]

okay hot take i guess but since asexual aromantic aplatonic are non actions it should be considered the default until a character demonstrates attraction or action. No a character doesnt need to act ace or identify as aro its literally a non action. anattractional until proven otherwise

how it genuinely feels

[tongue-twists]

btw dating sucks as a concept.

[tongue-twists]

meeting up with someone with the explicit goal of figuring out whether or not you want a relationship with them spoils the dynamic. it sucks. it's terrible. fall in love with your friends like normal people.

as expected this one is a hit with the autism website

"my great grandmother who survived 3 wars and raised 10 children by herself while working in a factory watching me go to therapy because my parents yelled at me" ok but your great grandmother was also miserable. maybe your great grandmother would be happy you try your best to not be miserable

[daciancatamite]

like have you considered your ancestors wouldve wished to see you be less miserable than them

[reasonsforhope]

We are still here, as human beings, because millions and millions of us - since far, far longer ago in our history than recorded time - have looked at the world, and said "I want my children, and my children's children, to have a better life than I did."

Maybe your parents and your grandparents and great-grandparents were among those people - or maybe they weren't, personally. Some people admittedly aren't.

But every human alive is part of an uninterrupted line of hundreds of thousands of years of descent (and that's only since we became Homo sapiens).

We, as humans, have created and built and invented and learned and treated and cured so, so much. Because we kept looking around us, and looking at the people around us, and saying, "I want a better world for the people I love. I want a better world for the people who will come next."

Or perhaps think about it this way:

Would you want your great-grandchildren (or the great-grandchildren of your loved ones / family / chosen family, if you'd rather) to be miserable?

Or would you want those children to take care of themselves, and be kind to themselves, and do their best to find peace and joy in their lives?

Recently my dad handed me my granddad's pit token to pass on to my brother when I next see him.

The pit token (and locker key) was something my grandad had when he worked in a coal mine. Every day he would have it over and receive his safety lamp, and go down the pit to mine coal. At the end of the day if there were any tokens left on the board then they'd know that there was still someone in the pit.

My grandad was an intelligent man. He was politically motivated, wrote letters to the local MP, read countless books about many subjects, listened to a wide variety of music, etc. But he worked down that pit for years to pay for a house and home for three kids. He broke his back down that pit. When his best friend died he locked himself in his shed with a bottle of rum cause obviously Men Don't Cry and he couldn't be seen. He fought in world war 2 and killed men in battle, and he never spoke about it unless asked.

My brother has a masters. He attends therapy. Has his own son now, and he worries about the world. He works in an office, and while he would like to do something he is passionate about rather than admin, I don't think my granddad would ever begrudge the kind of man my brother has grown up to be even if he didn't fully understand it. He wouldn't wish that pit on anyone.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if the phrase "self care" doesn't resonate with you, try calling it "system maintenance" and see if that clicks.

Reblogging to add amazing tags from @meta-theory

#this both makes things more fun and also is a really good analogy#because there are four types of system maintenance and that makes the term much more exact than the nebulous ''self-care''#and therefore much more helpful to those of us who uhhh struggle with nebulosity#for anyone curious the four types are:#1. corrective (to fix current problems)#2. preventative (to avoid future problems)#3. adaptative (to re-adjust to any changes)#4. perfective (to work towards a better system)#I really like this idea I'm gonna make a checklist

[phaeton-flier]

Killing people is, rarely, justified, but I think it should be viewed as this grimly necessary thing, this dark part of existence that it had to be done at all. If you're jerking off about how cool you were for killing Bad Guys you've lost the moral plot

[phaeton-flier]

I get the distaste for the dumbest 25% of them, but I do think powerscaling and whoWouldWin type discussions are perfectly valid forms of engaging with media. Certainly at least as deep if we compare to, say, shippers pushing everything into the same few pairings or people interpreting "themes" that are just starting with a conclusion and working backwards

[phaeton-flier]

Also the average discussion in these settings is at least trying to make arguments based on material and mechanical factors, whereas the alternative tends to be "My Blorbo would win because she's my favorite :)"

New book club in town is meeting at my place. Had our first meeting tonight and someone who routinely takes stuff to the recycling centre offered to take away my broken microwave. This is fantastic I have been really pissed off by having no way to get rid of that fuckarse microwave. Unparalelled book club success.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

"Okay but how did the book part go" irrelevant. Microwave is gone.

i wonder why there is a general perception, especially among tme ppl both cis and trans, that trans women are overrepresented in social spaces despite there being fewer of us. i wonder if there is a larger societal force that trans women are subject to that leads to this distorted conception of trans women's visibility.

if you ever feel bad or worried about losing friends over your values just remember my lifelong family friend irl, who i was very patient with in regards to them getting really sad whenever i posted about the real life harm done by the harry potter franchise, ultimately does not talk to me anymore because i posted too much about thinking hazbin hotel kind of sucks

[gemwolfz]

if you fold once mfs will start treating you like origami. there are of course times where it is appropriate to skirt around topics in the interest of social courtesy. but if your friend wants you to fold yourself into completely different shape theyre not being a very good friend
