In This House We Love and Appreciate The Hex Girls

[loxbian-deactivated20200516]

I flat out hate people who are all “the earth would be better off without humans.” The world would be better off without white supremacy, without colonialism, without capitalism and transmisogyny and homophobia. Like, shut the fuck up. It’s such a horrible, cruel, and callous thing to say, “the earth would be better off.”

The savagery.

they often like to say you’re not worth anything and then still refuse to leave. it’s only been a year or so, eventually you’ll have to foist em out

Therapists are just…. Common sense filters

Me: yeah so I just don’t have the energy to get up and make myself a sandwich or wait for something to cook so I just. Don’t

Her: why don’t you just eat the sandwich components without putting them together

Me:

Her: you can just eat a handful of cheese and some sandwich meat. You don’t have to make a sandwich.

Me:

Me: what

Therapists finding loopholes for mental illness things is one of my favorite things about dealing with mental illness because it really helps me understand that just because a reaction is Common doesn’t mean it’s Right. Does doing dishes stress you out a lot? Buy paper plates. Do your obsessive thoughts make you worry about leaving your curling iron on so you drive home from work to check? Just put the curling iron in your purse and bring it to work with you while we work on tackling where this worry comes from. Symptom management doesn’t have to look like drudgery.

i used to go days without showering because seeing my body was so upsetting that i would end up spiraling and then i realized i could simply turn the lights out. it took some getting used to but i’ve been showering with the lights off for years and it’s now one of my favorite parts of my day.

do whatever you want nothing is real and there’s no need to inflict unnecessary suffering on yourself just to try to seem “normal”

These kinds of loopholes make life so. Much. Better.

One of my favorite stories is this lady had extremely bad OCD. Every day she’d be late to work because she was convinced that her hair dryer was going to burn down the house so would always have to turn around and check it. Multiple times a day even. A bunch of doctors tied to “fix” her of that fear, until one day she got a doctor that suggested she bring the hair dryer with her. Other doctors were annoyed, saying that wasn’t a the correct way to help, but she gave it a go. When she had that fear, she’d look over and see the hair dryer unplugged in the seat next to her and was able to carry on. I think it’s such a perfect example of actually helping someone instead of forcing them into a neurotypical standard.

That story helped me stop repeatedly checking if my front door was locked. Instead of checking that the door was locked over and over I would check my security system app. If it’s on it will alert me if the front door opens.

“…actually helping someone instead of forcing them into a neurotypical standard” should be added to the Hippocratic Oath.

Started reading about the door and I thought they were gonna say they took the door with them

this is why degrees in Non-Militarily applicable STEM fields (like horticulture and zoology) are just as undervalued as ceramics, literature, and medeival history degrees tbh

[chrisdornerfanclub]

It’s not just STEM. A major employer of anthropologists is the United States military.

when will white vegans shut up

[chaiu]

like for real… there are so many cultures and faiths that consume animals ethically. we don’t source our meat from mass industries that abuse animals and we utilise the entire animal for food or clothing. there are rituals and prayers unique to different cultures that are done to thank animals for their sacrifice, or concepts similar. Those who follow Islam and Judaism (who eat Halal and Kosher Meat, respectively) are required to kill the animal in the most painless way possible. stop telling us that what we’re doing is wrong and immoral when your expensive vegan products are sourced from companies that destroy land belonging to Native Americans or exploit people of colour to do their underpaid labour. Be mindful of other cultures and stop grouping us in with the white meat-eaters.

people always want to say “oh I worked hard to get where I am” … but in reality no one works as hard as the people who are exploited, the people who face chronic back pain after working twelve hours a day with poor salaries, the people in factories and the people with jobs that no one views as “glamorous and successful” , the people who are too tired to do anything on their days off because of how they exhaust themselves when they’re at work. people generally see these jobs as a consequence for not going to college and that kind of manipulation makes me want to die!
