How do you unlearn shame?

Embrace being a gross and horrid little creature. I could never wrangle myself from "I am a horrible disaster of a person who shouldn't even be here" to "I am normal and do normal things, I have the same right to be here as everyone else", so the only other option was to go with "I am a horrible little menace and I am making my weird shit everybody's problem."

Going "yes, and?" at your own shame works for some reason. If you think that everybody in the room hates you and wishes you would leave, then the fact that nobody's told you that is their problem. Either they accept that you're here, or they're too scared of you to do anything about it. The difference between having a problem and being a problem is giving a fuck.

I have a very "I paid for this blender so everything getting blent" attitude about owning a mortar and pestle. I didn't pay for these beautiful tools of smooth black-grey granite just to have them sit on a shelf, these beauties are getting used at every excuse. I'll use them to mush chickpeas, I'm this close to using them to make mashed potatoes. There's just something so grounding and inherently human about it, I'm using two rocks to grind up seeds and nuts like they did back in the day when my ancestors were fucking neanderthals.

I just don't give a fuck, everything getting pestled. This is the act that made us human. I'm gonna make these two rocks do the chewing for me to spend less headspace for big jaw and more headspace for big brain. Crunch crunch bitch, I'm about to go prehistoric on your ass.

Now I feel really lame just using mine to crush cat medication into powder to hide it in food for the creatures I've domesticated. I need to use these two rocks to smash something for human jaw purposes.

[homunculus-argument]

The thought has never occurred to me before, but around the time when people were figuring out how to use plants for medicines, and going about domesticating animals, the first incidents of "how do I provide medical care for this animal who has no intention of willingly letting me do that" probably happened around that same time.

not using AI genuinely feels like the rest of the world is experiencing some kind of mass amnesia. if someone says they never use it, the immediate response is that can't be true because "everyone" uses it to write their emails or answer their questions. saw a comment suggesting that not using chatgpt to write an essay is "like the 90s". girl I graduated in 2021 and we weren't doing that! how is it that everyone has suddenly forgotten that they were entirely capable of doing these things all by themselves for their entire lives up until the past few years!! am I going crazy!!!

me in 2026: Not driving off the cliff is an act of trying. If you think about it.

I think the reason that nonbinary people choose “weird” names is because it’s easier to identify with a word that hasn’t been given any gendered context, rather than picking one that is in the ever changing realm of androgyny. So, more traditional names like Rylee, Alex, Max, Terry, and others deemed to be gender neutral get pushed aside because it’s either Alex in a boy kind of way or Alex in a girl kind of way and people usually just default to your assigned gender at birth. However names like Teeth, Socks, Meat, and Off are a lot harder to assign a gender to since they’ve never been used as names at all. We invented language for ourselves when the world didn’t, and we chose our names to be completely original and personal. It’s beautiful really, it reflects the unique experience of disregarding a system that limits you. And I love that.
