- The "white people this is us" shit aggravates me on so many levels, some of them petty (bitches y'all tarred and feathered my ancestors, lit their home on fire, would've raped several of them except it turned out they hit harder and their horses liked them more, and chased them out of the country and that's just on the TOTALLY white side so fuck you I am not part of your 'us') and some of them NOT petty (these fuckers are explicitly neo-Nazis and KKK they're out there in that iconography directly the list of people they want to light on fire is REALLY BROAD THANKS so yeah could you add some fucking more qualifiers to your thing there, starting with Xtian and then even getting rather more fucking sectarian than that even? and then I'm not getting INTO queer and disabled shit) that it is in fact part of why I'm tumblr-vacationing.
- I have much sympathy. I have this with CBT a lot, for the same reasons - like, not just the exercises being explained poorly but being understood poorly BY the health practitioners who shove them on everyone without any regard for detail or their own misunderstanding. And like, I'm someone who the "gratitude" mis-understanding was pushed on so hard that I literally have to do an INSANE amount of reframe ("list things that are pleasing to me in this moment") because the SECOND "gratitude" gets invoked all I hear is the shit that article is reacting to, you know?
Which feels like part of the larger problem of "a technique gets developed or elaborated in some very careful, 'bespoke' level work by a very intelligent practitioner, and it's good . . . and then it gets disseminated in the worst kind of mass-produced LAZY crap, and that's how you get Participation Trophies, and it just fucks everyone up in a new way."
And it's super frustrating.
- I discovered that I like a new kind of ice-cream! which is convenient as ice-cream is one of those things I have Autisms about. But I like butter-pecan icecream. Apparently.
- If I could draw I would draw you Yolanda's wheel-chairs they are all sexy. (She has more than one OBVIOUSLY, because the one that's for her office is not the one you use to go on unpaved paths or to the beach with your great-nephew or horrify your niece by pretending to do wheelchair parkour in.) (She does not actually do wheelchair parkour she is FIFTY-SEVEN THANK YOU she has no desire to break her shoulder and make her life INCONVENIENT. But her niece is way too much of a fussbudget about her mobility so it's fun to make her go AAAAAGH AUNTIE DON'T DO THAT! and it makes her niece readjust her fussbudgetting about the great-nephew as at least he does not pretend he's about to jump an entire flight of stairs.)
- . . . .wait are we having a Moral Argument about whether or not you are allowed to troll people about how they pronounce "scone" now. *knocks head on desk*
