it's so wild when your parent changes when you become an adult. my dad is very cordial and non confrontational - he regularly helps me with adult stuff like changing the oil or providing insurance tips. he's always smiling when i call him on video and providing jokes when i complain about college

when i was a kid, i would have to tiptoe around his anger issues often, sometimes running quietly past his work table until he got his own place completely separate from our family, locked away for days. every so often he would start screaming in the car and trying to hit me or my brother for talking too loud while my mom attempted to calm him down as he swerved on the road. and now he, smiling, helps me with car insurance.

like oh, this is just who you are when you have power over someone, and this is who you are when you dont have power over someone. no wonder you can have a normal life, friends, work while scaring the shit out of your kids and wife. i see it now. i see why no one would have believed me. that, i think, is one of the core fears of trauma - seeing the outside of it from the perspective of other adults that brushed you aside, and understanding. of course, that understanding gives the opposite of solace; it just gives you more grief with nowhere for it to go

When people think about wasps, they tend to think violent and aggressive. That's not entirely their fault, the general media and their friend's accounts usually paint the same picture.

I've come to see them quite differently though.

Like with most insects, they're more scared of humans than we ever could be of them. Humans are such big creatures that could crush them and their hive in an instant. The worst a wasp could do to a human is sting them, or cause an allergic reaction if they're unlucky.

It's important to understand that the wasp is only defending, it can't understand the difference between getting close because of fascination, or because of hunger.

Wasps think differently than humans, they have a more prominent expression of fight or flight, life or death. Because they still have predators, they have to.

This is commonly misinterpreted. It's hard to not think of wasps as constantly hostile when across all planes of communication they're being demonized.

I believe a key to making sense of their actions is understanding their viewpoint.

In the wild, a solitary wasp sits on her carefully constructed nest. She doesn't understand why she's brightly colored, yellows allowing sharp contrast to black, she just knows it works.

The warning colors keep some predators away from her fragile hive where her young will soon grow.

When a perceived predator ignores the warning, when they get too close, she springs into action with her world renowned stinger. She can't afford to lose her hive. Of course she could always make a new one, but that would take precious time and resources, and her larvae need that time.

When she's successfully driven the attacker away, she returns to her hive. She has protected it.

She doesn't understand when the hive begins shaking, why it resents and shames her. They were trying to hurt the hive, why does it now defend their actions?

She won, why does it shake and sob?

Her hive expresses its sadness in how she defends, how it wishes they weren't alone anymore. How could she not have noticed? The defense of her hive was only hurting it more.

The isolation, she realized, forcing people away when they get too close; she was falsely identifying dangers.

Of course, she still needed help identifying who to attack and who not to, she learned to recognize threats from attempts at friendship..

As they focus less on defense, and more on the hives daily life, she realizes there's more than just life and death, predator and prey.

When she steps down and lets her hive express itself—himself—she learns more about him, about friendship and how proud she feels defending others from genuine threats. Together, they both grow and find happiness.

She understands how much easier it is for him to focus on his learning, how much he enjoys it now.

its too direct, and incorrect to say i am the wasp.

i am like her hive, the wasp is my subconscious,my illness ,my disorder, she wont be going away, so i have to work with her. She wont abandon her hive, but she can defend him properly.

^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°

I'm not diagnosed, and im not going to fight about having this disorder,

but I can say my favorite phrase. "If the coping mechanisms help, then it doesnt matter if you're diagnosed or not" i dont remember where it came from 😭.

^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°

i also have this metaphor i found from Nerium-Lemontree

the leashed dog, angry and misunderstanding.. i think they both make a lot of sense,

^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°^°

sharing my midnight chant about this too.

through stigmatism and shame, hardship and relapse, i will persevere

i will succeed.

through breakups and fading friends, splitting and coping,

ill be okay, because of my will to stay alive, my will to keep going, to spite everyone around me, because i love to explore, because i love to understand.

(thats why i love star trek so much)

i can walk away, i can hide, but i wont back down,

it is hard to remember when im in the depths of it. but things that stick in my mind i will always remember

things my best friend says to me,

"i do care about you, I don’t hate you, I like talking it out and being able to understand you”

i think heterosexuality does have sexual revolutionary potential to the same extent that homosexuality does. its just that patriarchal society restricts m/f relationships so much that we don't recognize their true potential. like at its best, you are connecting with someone of a different gender- even your "opposite"- and through that connection you end up seeing yourself in them. im not even talking about "getting in touch with your feminine/masculine side" shit im talking about loving/lusting someone so much that you feel they are a part of you, and through that you demystify the other gender and feel profoundly tied to the issues they face. the patriarchy restrains straightness by forcing people in love/lust to always keep a wall between them, to insist on the idea that men and women speak a different language, to still see even the person they love/desire as an Other. a new, freer vision of straightness is one that inevitably fosters genderfuckery and inter-gender solidarity. heterosexual love and lust, freed from its restraints, has the power to shake up the basic patriarchal ideas of how men and women are supposed to relate to each other as "opposites." and this is why bi+ and transhet people are send by God to heal society thank you for coming to my tedtalk

[save-the-child-qais]

DON’T SKIP, PLEASE I BEG YOU.

Please, I beg you — if you're reading this, don’t look away. Every second matters.

The war on Gaza has stolen the lives of countless children — like little Hind Rajab, whose innocent smile was silenced forever. My own baby boy, Qais, is among the survivors, but he is fighting for his life after being wounded in the same nightmare. Every second without medical care brings him closer to the same fate. I’m begging you, help save Qais before it’s too late. Your donation could keep his tiny heart beating. 💔

Qais’s injury has left deep and dangerous wounds:

1. Severe shrapnel damage that doctors here cannot remove safely.

2. Constant internal pain and infections caused by the lack of medicine and clean water.

3. Extreme weakness and trauma, leaving him unable to eat or sleep properly.

He cries in pain every night, whispering my name — and I can only hold him, powerless, as his body weakens a little more each day.

From one grieving mother to the world — please don’t look away. My son, **Qais**, still breathes, but just barely. His wound could take him at any moment, and I can’t afford to lose him like Hind’s mother lost her little girl. Please, help us survive. Donate, and raise your voice for Gaza’s children before another innocent soul slips away. 💔🥺

PLEASE DONATE HERE

If Qais was your only child, would you leave him to face his fate alone?

DONATE HERE PLEASE

Please stop ✋🚨 you're the only hope to save a child😔😭

[qais-chiild]

I am a silenced, grieving mother in Gaza — my cries fade into a world that has forgotten how to listen. My children are not threats, not fighters — only fragile souls, starving and suffering, punished simply for being born here. They don’t ask for revenge or rights — only a crumb of bread, a sip of clean water, a chance to see another sunrise.

Their frail bodies shiver in my arms, their hollow eyes pleading for a hope I can no longer give. Yet the world remains unmoved — blind to their agony, deaf to their fading voices.

From the shattered depths of a mother’s soul, I beg you — don’t let their suffering go unseen. Don’t let them vanish in silence. Please, help them before they’re gone forever.

jane goodall is watching demons up close in hell to better understand how like them she is

fuck that zionist eugenicist yt supremacist

[knifegrrrllll-deactivated202603]

yeahh i actually was so confused as to why this entire site and even some of my friends were like , acting like she was amazing when she was a full on white supremacist like i am genuinely so confused on where the love is coming from

[i-eat-rocks-4-funsies]

Wait can i see where she has said this i searched it up and nothing came up /genq

[knifegrrrllll-deactivated202603]

"Goodall announced that she would open a Jane Goodall Institute in occupied Palestine, led by her longtime Zionist settler colleague, Itai Roffman. During her speech, Goodall stated ironically, "it's bizarre that the most intellectual creature to walk the planet is destroying its only home." Goodall is 14 years older than the Zionist entity. Throughout her career, she has exemplified white scientists speaking over and erasing Indigenous communities' eternal ecological knowledge. In 2025, Goodall accepted a medal of freedom from President Biden, who has approved upwards of 20 billion dollars in funds to the Zionist entity since the escalated genocide against Palestinians began in October 2023."

[knifegrrrllll-deactivated202603]

she never hid her white supremacy prev tags..... it was very public which is why WE are "confused" on why this site is praising her (not rlly confused tho ik its bc this is a majority white platform and on majority white social media everyone is always clueless when a public white supremacist is acknowledged as a white supremacist)

In the words of Kenyan ecologist and conservation scholar Mordecai Ogada:

[buffalo-tracks]

Woke eugenics | Ella Whelan | The Critic Magazine

If two’s company and three’s a crowd, 7.7 billion’s a problem — that is, if you’re a climate-change activist with a penchant for Thomas Malt

Some quotes from the article:

Last year, the UN announced its support for Thriving Together, a collaboration of more than 150 organisations committed to the “recognition of the importance of family planning to conservation”.

The campaign aims to increase family planning services in developing countries to help stop “rural” and “low-income” families from having more children.

Is it a coincidence that many of the groups that support Thriving Together — from Greenpeace to Marie Stopes International — focus on the “marginalised communities” of developing countries, while their supporters on the front page of their website are people like Dr Jane Goodall?

Goodall writes on Thriving Together’s website that women “need to be equipped with the knowledge as to how their choice affects the health of the planet and thus the future of their own children”.

At Davos earlier this year, a packed audience of leaders and economists sat through an exercise in climate self-flagellation by Dr Jane Goodall. While scolding these naughty boys for ruining the planet, Goodall assured them that the current state of the climate “wouldn’t be a problem if there was the size of the population that there was 500 years ago”.
