genuinely I cannot fathom trying to use Tumblr like any other social media. I just thought to myself “why does Tumblr even have a ‘Best Posts First’ feature? why would I want to see good posts?” and then I had to stop and consider that for a second

The most basic, intractable fact about mental illnesses is that you simply cannot willpower your way out of them. The only exceptions to this rule are the ones I have, which continue to disable me due to lack of determination and other grave personal flaws

I believe in the value of fantasy to engage with your own wants and needs. A lot of fantasy can also be just nonsense? Like, you should only interrogate your fantasies if you believe there is information in there, or if it's about something that might impact your behaviour.

All of this to say I don't understand what people get out of believing in aliens. Like yeah of course the government is lying to you, but about far more pertinent things, such as where your tax dollars are going??? What the hell kind of difference does it make in your daily life if aliens are real? They're not going to give you a better job

Is the actual fantasy an authority figure apologizing? Is it about wanting someone in power to admit they did you wrong?

I genuinely do not see the appeal
