It's time to do that thing you've been wanting to do
Hey, it looks like you're waiting for ideal conditions to do that thing you've been wanting to do. Need I remind you that ideal conditions do not exist and will never happen?
• I'm aware
• Wow, rude

No. Ignore this. You are capable of reading books again. The brain is highly malleable and you only need a few screen-free weeks to recover your focus. You will be amazed how quickly the hunger for reading returns. You will be inhaling words

deleuze said “the lives of academics are seldom interesting.” be bored when it's time to be bored. it will help you get your compassion back. you won't need ai. you won't need these dead fake choking things to smother you into ease. you will wake up. you will get back in practice

You're so nice

You're not good
You're not right
You're just nice

Knowing what the kind thing to do in a situation requires some knowledge of another person and/or an ability to understand their situation from the outside.

Being nice only requires knowing enough of the rules well enough to pass muster.

“why is it all or nothing with you?” because its our fuckin’ lives! its not being “closed off to new ideas” or whatever bullshit pete’s interns are posting today, its our fuckin’ lives! and you quite openly can’t feel any sympathy for that. you just get angry, or at best smugly dismissive.

I, too, had bad luck with my parentage.
Calvin and Hobbes (if you're not familiar with this comic strip, Calvin is a 6-yr old wiseass white boy first grader and Hobbes is his friend who is a tiger. Of course, Hobbes is only a tiger stuffy when anyone else is looking but a real tiger when only Calvin is around) are walking through the snow and chatting: 

Calvin: "When a kid grows up he has to BE something. He can't just stay the way he is. But a tiger grows up and stays a tiger. Why is that?"

Hobbes: "No room for improvement." 

Both: ...

Calvin: "Of all the luck, my parents had to be humans."

Hobbes: "Don't take it too hard. Humans provide some very important protein."

A gentle reminder in case you need it: No one is mad at you, everything is probably okay!

Trans werewolf friend 🌕🏳️‍⚧️

[ #halloween #trans #furryart ]
A cute brown werewolf standing on one hind paw, with their front paws raised to their face. In one they are holding a trans flag. The werewolf is winking and its mouth is open in a smile, one snaggletooth showing. They are wearing tattered blue shorts and have top surgery scars. Behind the werewolf is a moon, with pink & blue sparkles over it. The whole background is orange.

Used to be a Bothered About Nicknames type, actually.

Tbf, I corrected people on my deadname about as I do on my pronouns now: 1 (or 0) if it's a one off interaction, 1-2 if we have a relationship, and if we hit 3 in a conversation, probably already pissed and just gonna avoid you forever if I can.

can't imagine a correct response other than "ok put your money where your mouth is and give me it."

do you ever just sit around and think for an entire day about how people say "This Is Going To Hurt Me More Than It Hurts You" and think this is a pretty normal thing, that it softens the blow, but actually it adds guilt to the physical pain, makes your suffering into an ATTACK on your parent?
