Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
something something i was never who you wanted me to be
the thing is, if your younger self was a bigot or an abuser, u can't make people forgive you. but you still gotta forgive yourself, like that's non-negotiable, dude. that happens before u can even ask the question of earning forgiveness from anyone lese
oops, in your attempt to martyr yourself out of respect for your victims you accidentally sabotaged your own ability to conceptualize yourself as anything but a perpetual evildoer who is always one bad day away from hurting everyone you love, all but guaranteeing history to repeat itself. rookie mistake
im gonna try explaining myself, cus im a gambling addict and im waiting for the day that it actually works.
"forgiveness" is personal, that's why I said in the post that you might inflict harm on people for which they can never forgive you, but that's their quest. if you abuse someone, you can't go no-contact with yourself. you actually keep living in your own head indefinitely, and ultimately you need to learn to live with yourself in order to continue living a full life without further harm. this is not necessarily an anti-carceral thought, although i am generally anti-carceral myself. I simply want people to like, fix their heart and atone for real with measured accountability & self love instead of dissociating, self-marking themselves forever and guaranteeing their recidivism.
You and a remorseful abuser would both think I'm giving the easy, coddling path. It's actually the tough pragmatic path in disguise.
Ok. I see where you going, but I strongly disagree. The one person who can't be allowed to forgive ones crimes is oneself.
Even if everyone else has forgiven you for the abuse you did, you must never allow yourself to let what you did be forgiven. Once you've done that, you've gotten to the point where you might do it again.
Never let up. Always strive towards improvement. Never let yourself live down the horrors of the past. Only by comparing ourselves to who we were can we grow.
this is called OCD
It’s so fucking frustrating to argue about this on tumblr.com. Because people might pay lip service to the idea of criminal justice reform or even prison abolition. But deep down they always come back to the Calvinism of it all: there are good people (victims) and bad people (abusers) and once someone has revealed themselves to be an abuser they can never be forgiven, never be part of society again.
And if you believe the world works like that one other thing also has to be true: You know you are a ‘good person’, so nothing you ever do could be truly abusive. You could never truly harm another person. And if you did they must have deserved it. Because you are a good person.
And wow, does that not just sound like something abusers usually say, when confronted with their own behavior?
I would leave the rest up to the reader but because we are on the piss on the poor reading comprehension site here, I’m going to spell it out: get comfortable with your own fallibility. Acknowledge that you could indeed severely harm someone else. And that means that you NEED to learn to forgive yourself.
an incomplete list of things my avpd says i’m not allowed to do:
laugh at something on tv before someone else laughs at it first
say the answers to jeopardy questions out loud when i know them
visibly react to getting hurt
sing or scream at full volume, even while alone
fall asleep in the car when no one else is sleeping
cook while other people are home
ask someone if they’re okay or try to figure out what might help them
express affection to my immediate family or say anything sincere to them
blush (which does happen to come with the territory of being embarrassed 24/7)
fart, burp, or hiccup audibly
sneeze or sniff too many times
“look cold” when it’s cold out
raise my arms if there might be any kind of sweat stains on my shirt
“act horny” while actively making out with or having sex with my boyfriend
reply to someone when i’m not 100% sure what they said
ask someone to repeat themselves when i didn’t hear them
break a rule i’ve been told to follow
follow a rule everybody else is breaking
smile at, greet, or even just look at someone i know when i see them
suggest a restaurant to go to or a movie to watch
talk about liking something without knowing the general public perception of it
form my own political/social opinions and stick to them when people disagree
retweet something that hasn’t already been retweeted by someone i follow
say anything in a group chat or server
or, in other words, literally just exist as a human being and live my life at all. i’m so fucking tired.
Actually my favorite replacement for both 'kill myself' jokes and jokes about reacting violently to things/people that upset me is "I'm going to end up on the news" like it's versatile, it's vague, it's not going to get me in trouble with any censors or websites that take joke threats seriously, it's family friendly while still getting the point across, what's not to love???
You. You get it.

Hello everyone, I want to share with you the story of my unborn son, T… Bobby Best needs your support for Help Baby Thomas Overcome Seve
i'm putting this up here for a friend of mine, i don't really know what else to say really, i'm not very good with, well words in general. if you have the expendible income to donate, please do, thanks
A coworker brought in a box of donuts today for a meeting, as a surprise. And as a donut-lover this is of course exciting in its own right. But I was in fact extra stoked because our stupid-humid heat wave just broke, and with the slightly cooler weather and my half-marathon race coming up in November, I'm just getting back into the swing of doing long runs after work.
So I said as much like "This is actually so perfect because I'm going for a long run after work" and my coworker responded "Oh to burn it off?" and this threw me way off my game because that was not where I was going at all. Where I was going was the fact that the single Best predictor of me pulling off a smooth, successful, well-fueled, high-endurance, long-as-hell evening run is whether or not I get my sticky hands on a sugar-loaded funtime treat around 4pm.
Like I was standing there over the box of donuts like
The run was easy as hell and the donut was delicious
#hey this post was weirdly inspiring as hell #like you can enjoy both donuts and exercise without one being penance for the other
Aye that's the thing. Sometimes I do things that are good because they're challenging and I'm proud of what I gain by putting in the effort. And sometimes I do things that are good because they're fun and yummy in the moment. And turns out I'm at my best when I'm doing both kinds of things that are good.
I can be faster
Today was another donut day. (I bought the donut this time.) (It does not matter how you acquire donut.)
you will live and you will say the wrong things and make mistakes and people will love you anyways.
i made this post because i've got so many friends that think saying something wrong in a conversation is the end of the world. it isn't. you'll be okay. you don't have to be embarrassed about every little thing. you are alive and doing things and speaking to people. you will make mistakes and you will live.
A fun shared hobby
this too shall pass
HURRY UP

i was once being blackmailed so violently on Tumblr that the fbi got involved, and I will tell you right now: in the deathmatch between the fbi and the Tumblr search function, the fbi did not win. They ghosted me and I continued toget blackmailed for years after that.
This is fucking hysterical
Behold, a bird.
me: today is going really well and i don’t trust it some shit: *starts happening* me: ah there it is. the Fuckening™
just wanted to shout out this ancient post i made like 23 years ago & since then has been grasped firmly by the internet but repackaged in memes divorced utterly from its painfully 2016 tumblr origins.
frauds and heretics have stolen this definition from its ecosystem. it came from here it lives here it is of this earth and should have never been removed. i love u fuckening post. i am sorry they shaved all of the cringe off u and made a simulacrum of u in their shame. but i remember. i know from whence u came.
glad to see those spreading the truth
