having a younger sibling is so embarrassing iwouldnt stoop this low for anyone but her im like quadruple texting "JUST TELL ME IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE AQUARIUM ON DECEMBER 29TH SO I CAN GET TICKETS" and she leaves me on read 10000 times.

[starjasmines]

i will say this as a person who is not white: i think being called racist as a white person is like way lower stakes than anyone makes it out to be. and like, the reality is that white people have an inflated sense of anxiety about what being called Racist Means when like. let's be fucking real for a second. it does not meaningfully often result in Material Violence to a person for being "called racist." and I think being racist is just a thing that happens. and like if we are going to say that being accidentally racist from time to time is something that like, is relatively low stakes, that has to go hand in hand with being like. ok well I guess i should take some time to think about why someone might think I'm racist and like Do something about that.

like I think the paranoia and anxiety about how Being Called Racist is something that Does Violence to People is rooted in a white guilt racialized anxiety and if I am going to be real with you I do not think it is based in material reality. you can be a little uncomfortable it's not the end of the world. i think it's frustrating as a racialized person to see so many white people more frantically hand-wringing over the prospect of being called "racist" than over the prospect of Being Racist. it's annoying to say the least.

[sizhens-deactivated20250415]

like idk girl. what can i tell you? do you know how frustrating it is to be a racialized person and have nobody hear you when you say something is hurtful to you because of racialized reasons? even people nominally "in your community" whatever that means? does the materialism fall out of your head when it comes to race for whatever reason? grow past your anxiety and your discomfort.

[sizhens-deactivated20250415]

i think many people are racist frequently and "unintentionally" for what it's worth and i think it's low stakes for the most part. how are you able to handle telling other people that it's transmisogynist or homophobic to treat you a certain way but you pearlclutch when people are like that was kind of racist. it's not a cosmic sin. it's just a thing that should be understood and grown from, graciously. come on.

I'm literally so obsessed with this guy.

He finds these tiktoks of people freaking out about things they see on airplanes and explains why it's fine and then EVERY SINGLE TIME he goes of on a really long, extremely detailed tangent about Lord of the Rings lore before casually going back to his original topic just before the video ends.

Can you imagine being that intensely knowledgeable about aeronautics and still having enough brain space left to remember every detail of the lore from a fictional series of novals that's so exspansive they teach university level classes about it?

It's wild to me that people treat addiction like it's the addict's fault for having a weak character or something, and on the other side of it we have "addiction is a disease," which is an objectively better model of thinking but it's still treating addiction like it is in and of itself the problem.

Addiction isn't a disease, it's a treatment.

I'm not an addict because I came down sick with a hankering for substances, because they're fun. I was traumatized and then dropped into a society that makes survival extremely hostile. The substances are a pillow and blanket. They're a warm mug and being held tightly by a friend. They're an invitation to a seat by the fire when the storm is raging outside the doorstep.

Addicts aren't sick with addiction, we're sick with so much chronic stress and pain that we're crumbling under the weight. Many of us since we were children with no tools for coping.

It might not be healthy, it might not be safe, and in fact addiction is by definition destructive. But it's also an attempt to keep pressure on the wound. The addiction is treatment for sickness.

[eldritchbauble]

I'm not sorry for wanting to feel alive when everything around me feels like a dying world.

[eldritchbauble]

All of the major models of addiction ignore this. Not just the moral and disease models. Addiction is also not just physical dependency and it's not just drugs r fun and enjoyable. It's extremely annoying how every model in psych still ignores the whole "what if life sucks" thing when explaining "why" we become addicts.

And yes I've been thinking of my beloved experiment, rat park, this whole time.

What Does “Rat Park” Teach Us About Addiction?

How many of us, during clinical encounters with patients, focus on their families, their social communities, their sources of human contact

i will never forget in 2022 when i went to the same starbucks every day for like 4 months. and every day i ordered the same thing (grande iced matcha latte with oat milk). and every day it was the same barista and he was so rude to me every single time. and then one day i got in line and he immediately started making my matcha latte when he saw me and as i went to grab it off the counter, he stopped me and looked in my eyes and said "i'm sorry i'm such an asshole to you every day. this job sucks everyone is such a dick to me and youre the only regular who isnt so i take it out on you. and that probably wont change but im sorry anyway." and then the next time i went, he was rude as fuck to me again like nothing had ever happened. life is so strange.

PSA for Switch owners

The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes.

To turn it off

go to the eShop

go to your profile where your funds and account info is

go down to the bottom of the page

there you will see “Google Analytics Preferences”

select the Change

select “Don’t Share”

Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.

[solomonara]

I’ve seen this post going around and went “Ah it’s from 2020, I remember I already turned that off.”

Then I turned my switch on this afternoon for the first time in a while and it had an update. And I thought hm. Maybe. I had better just check on that again.

And you’ll never guess what I had to turn off again.
