it’s crass to end a post with a period because the romantic project of self-fashioning is incomplete; it’s what makes the fragment the mode of romantic communication
i really never know what’s gonna hit with you people
One thing about having “paranoid” in your chart is that you will never be believed about anything ever again.
Report a doctor for malpractice - they didn’t actually do that you’re just paranoid. Doesn’t matter if you actually have evidence it’s dismissed immediately they never even read the evidence.
This also affects POC more harshly as very real incidents of racism even violent ones will be dismissed under the “paranoid” label. POC are also more likely to get labeled paranoid by psych for talking about the very real and literal discrimination that they are experiencing.
With what’s being done to Snap benefits–food stamps–this month, and Thanksgiving coming up, I think it’s a really good time to give what you can to food pantries. With the reminder that money is always better than giving food, because the pantry is able to make that money go further and knows what they actually need.
Also! Speaking of donating money and how much more useful that is. Many food banks can feed 3 people for every $1 they receive. So if you are broke and only have $5 to spare, that’s okay! That’s enough to feed 15 people. That’s a whole crowd! I donate to the food bank because I am broke and the $5-$10 I can spare has the most effect there.
If there’s one style I really like, it’s a southern Dog Trot house. This 1819 Dog Trot in Inverness, FL is so cute. It’s original and lived-in, but removed from the market. The 3bd, 3ba, 2,996sqft home asks $276,500.
There’s a covered area on the left that can be accessed right from the porch.
The beautiful porch could use a power wash. It gets dirty from all the greenery.
Anti-revenge narrative this, anti-revenge narrative that, I personally think that Inigo Montoya had the right idea when he stabbed Count Rugen in the gut and said “I want my father back, you son of a bitch”
A lot of revenge arcs end with the hero saying “there’s nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so me seeking revenge is pointless.” The Princess Bride’s revenge arc ends with Inigo Montoya saying “there’s nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so there’s nothing that can save you.”
“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
— Vincent Van Gogh
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth
something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in
the beginning.”
something law school taught me is that however suspicious you are that “oh, oops this law accidentally created a loophole that allows for bigotry by accident” is a lie, you are not suspicious enough.
anyone affected by such laws could tell you as much, but it really is something to read the actual law, the legislative history, public comment, etc and see just how much it was on purpose. it really makes me lose my patience with people pretending otherwise.
“oh this silly law says your house has to be blue in this neighborhood and sometimes Black people were accidentally kept from the neighborhood because blue paint was sometimes hard to come by”
and anyone with two braincells thinks, “yeah it probably was at least somewhat on purpose”
but then you find out the town made a law that it was illegal to sell blue paint to people of color and illegally buying blue paint was punishable by life in prison and the city ordinance about blue houses is called like the Keep Our Neighborhoods White–I Mean Blue Act of 1999. and the town had a weekly newspaper issue talking about how crime had gone up in the paint district so we need more police but also all the people of color are strangely homeless and homelessness means more crime so we need more police, but the police are overwhelmed so you can sign up to be a deputy looking for paint thieves called the Slave-Catching Renaissance Ordinance
and the only proposed “solution” so far is that selling blue paint is no longer illegal.
“It takes a long time to undo all of these things” mhm, either that’s also a lie or do you not find it a condemnation of how the system works that it’s so easy to install these laws that are blatant on its face bigotry (most often and blatantly racism) but near impossible to get rid of them?
im getting really fucking sick of all this “it gets better!” bullshit. im going to have depression for the rest of my life. it’s not going to “””get better””” fuck you
