If you take all the enjoyable parts out of life, you won't enjoy life.

Please take this story's moral not as "this woman was being stupid and shortsighted" or "this is a problem you as an individual fix by making your health more of a priority"

But as "a society that puts anyone in this position must be transformed in a fundamental way".

β€œFog in the mornings, hunger for clarity, coffee and bread with sour plum jam. Numbness of soul in placid neighborhoods. Lives ticking on as if.”

lowkey vader is a good dad for standing there ominously and not attacking instantly so luke can choose to either do the boss fight or build some skills on side quests

you know that gentle parenting advice post where they say don’t ask kids yes or no questions, give them choices. like β€œdo you want to do the homework now, or have quiet time?” that’s what he’s doing. do you want to fight daddy now or have quiet time

gender affirming care should never be seen as a reward for good behavior

And no one should have to perform a trans stereotype in front of shitty doctors just to get gender affirming care

I am whatever the opposite of a speed runner is. I am a game meanderer. I have to look at literally everything. I am overly cautious in every way. I forget to pause and wander away from the game. I take a minimum 7 hours to get through any given level. If you give me a timer I will cry.

I know everything is shit fucked sixteen ways before lunch time, but it remains a fact that you should not trust anyone who wants you to feel like the whole world hates you all the time. That's a person trying to sell you something, swallow you whole, or bleed you dry. Especially those times when it feels like they're right.

No one wants anything good from you who wants you always feeling scared and hated. They will wear you out and leave you in the bin the second fashions change. Things are extremely high levels of fucked, but you are not hated like that. It's scary and isolating but you are not alone like that. Worst case, come and shiver like a wet dog with me, I won't say anything and we can dry out.

I think this is being taken as a generic positivity post, but it is very much meant to be cautionary. Now more than ever we are easily manipulated by our own justified anger, which is reason enough to always force yourself to pause a minute, five minutes, to consider if something is worth your anger, if it's even true or just upsetting.
