I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon

the hot & sour soup from the chinese place in our neighborhood has a 100% success rate of improving or all-out ending my migraines. partner, scientist that he is, did some research into why that might be (and also anything else that might help me, since I try not to google my own symptoms due to my unfortunate tendency to WebMD myself into thinking I’m dying). that ultimately led me to try a daily magnesium tablet starting on saturday. I’m now 48+ hours headache-free for the first time in literal weeks. don’t worry, I’m keeping a level head about it. I know this isn’t a magical cure-all and it very well might just be a coincidence. I’ve got a doctor’s appointment scheduled for wednesday and I’m not canceling it. but holy shit, it’s incredible to feel like myself again. thank you partner. thank you hot & sour soup. thank you yummy minerals

i cannot overstate how good it feels to watch older movies where the actors were still allowed to look kinda weird and not be conventionally attractive. like it is genuinely healing

"you should be at the club" i should be by the sea. i should be in the mountains. i should be at the moon. i should be awestruck and rendered speechless by the majesty of the natural world. if you even care.

Normalize being the friend who says that something is out of your budget. Normalize being the friend who says that the restaurant is too expensive, that you'd rather stay in and make dinner together than spend money at a bar, that a destination wedding or "girl's trip" is just not an option for you, that you do in fact have a budget and financial limits that you need to be aware of.

Overspending to fit in with your peers is way too common and I think we all just need to get more comfortable saying that something is too expensive, especially because you're probably not the only person thinking it.

A lot of younger people are like. Shamelessly going into debt because they see no future for themselves so why not spend money they don't have on a luxury apartment and lobster dinners and regular trips to Hawai'i and Dubai and Venice, all racked up on credit cards and payday loans

and that is. A choice that they can make. Even if I personally think it's a deeply terrible one. But then they think that everyone around them is fine with going into debt too and they get MAD when someone around them expresses that they don't actually want to put thousands of dollars on a credit card for their destination wedding or that they have a budget that does not include regular $50 dinners at a high end restaurant.

These people are also not like. Honest about their finances most of the time. Like they fully hide that they are just building debt and instead put on a show to their friends and family where they are just rich and can afford all this stuff, which makes the people around them struggle to set financial boundaries because no one wants to be the poor one in the group.

But like. Do it. Just do it. Be the poor one in the group because with very, very few exceptions, your friends are all in the same boat and just not talking about it.

"If you don't want to split the bill evenly, why even go out to dinner? 🙄"

Because you can have a nice night out with friends while still being financially responsible?? If I go out to dinner and order something that costs $40 in total because that's what is within my budget, I don't want to have to pay for someone else to spend $150 on steak and margaritas. And if I'm the one buying the steak and margaritas, I absolutely do not want anyone spending $40 on their own meal to feel obligated to pay for my food. That isn't being rude, it's just being responsible. What IS rude is spending way more on a meal than you usually would or that you can actually afford because you're expecting other people to take the brunt of that cost 🤷

[wiisagi-maiingan]

Also people have mentioned this is in the tags so I will say it:

Normalize being the friend who hears someone say that they can't afford plans being made and responds with, "That's totally fine, do you have any ideas for what to do instead?" Normalize creating a space in your friend group where people feel comfortable saying they can't afford something and where people can offer cheaper alternatives. Normalize being the friend who suggests those cheaper alternatives because even if you personally can afford something, you know that someone else may not able to.

Perhaps this will be thought of as being too woke but it's really discouraging that people are constantly inventing new reasons to think of people with slow reaction times or who misunderstand instructions as evil or idiotic or soulless. Like complaining about older people having a blank stare while they try to process what the barista said or whatever. Oh, they have the evil bad people lead poisoning. They're brain damaged. They have Facebook brainrot. They're NPCs, whatever, etc. As someone with bad sensory processing from psychosis and ADHD (you people can't do anything haha I know omg disabled person is disabled) I so often end up lagging there trying to understand what I'm supposed to do. I have trouble reading the instructions on the keypad, I have trouble processing the push or pull on the door, I have trouble processing the words being said to me and following instructions. You can still think I'm a piece of shit customer and that's fine but going online and seeing people act like this behavior makes you subhuman and non-concious is soooo depressing

[pawberri]

There are so many situations in our world where if you suggest someone might have a somewhat sympathetic reason for acting in a strange way, people get extremely mad that you've taken away their favorite inherently evil demographic and start acting like you're the bad one. "Don't pathologize everything" you're pathologizing it in different words, you just don't like the words that make them seem like human beings with internal logic

[pawberri]

And if you don't have a disability now as a young person someday you'll be old and more mentally disabled than you are now and everyone will hate you the same way btw
