crazy how i find myself thinking i've got a handle on it all finally and then i see the ways that other people tangle their lives together so easily and live so easily together with their friends and i feel like that girl at the top of the stairs painting by norman rockwell
i'll always be here
it’s never a normal temperature anymore it’s always some fucking bullshit
The entire Europe conspired and cooperated to colonize North America.
Say this to Norwegians and Swedes, they'd get mad and act as if they have nothing to do with it
This belief is tied to the misconception that colonization was undertaken by states, and thus that only countries whose states had colonies were involved. The importance of companies and venture capital in colonization is vastly unknown and frequently underestimated. When you look into it, you'll see that even some European countries without colonies had colonial companies. And even when that wasn't the case, the states themselves or large part of their capitalist class could own stakes in foreign colonial companies.
And even more indirectly, they could have stakes in trades that were fed by colonialism, like industry developing thanks to cheaper material from the colonies, which fueled the industrial revolution
sexism in medicine kills people. racism in medicine kills people. fatphobia in medicine kills people. queerphobia in medicine kills people. classism in medicine kills people. ableism in medicine kills people.
do not downplay people’s fears about being mistreated because they are a part of a marginalised group. it is a matter of life and death and you should be angry about it.

Spin the wheel. Tomorrow, you wake up in this country with, however implausible, a passport for both it and your home country. How do you feel?
This is awful; I’m booking a trip home immediately.
I really don’t like this; I’ll stick it out briefly, but I’m heading home soon.
This isn’t great; I’d rather be back home, but I’ll manage until I can get back.
Being here isn’t better or worse than being in my home country.
This is pretty nice; I’ll stay a little while, but go home eventually.
I love it here; I’ll be staying a long while before I go home.
This is amazing; it’ll be a long time before I go home, and I may stay here.

I wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go “oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!” and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say “it’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced case” and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it can’t infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying “well done, you’ve been so brave, I’m so glad you’re ok. I love you.”

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!!!

Have you had your Golden Birthday yet?
yes
no
For example my birthday is June 24th so my Golden Birthday was when I turned 24.

Ok but can we talk about the loneliness that comes with being chronically ill? If you’re not able to work or go to events, there’s so much time spent by yourself.
It feels like Im a zoo animal with no enrichment or friends, just me staring out the glass
The Color Game. “Humans can’t reliably recall colors. This is a simple game to see how good (or bad) you are at it. We’ll show you five colors, then you’ll try and recreate them.” I scored 39/50 but got a perfect score on one color.
I see fat women online that have these amazing friend groups full of other fat women and god I wish that were me.
