Just 12 years of television left. Hope it’s good.

I’m so mad at myself right now
this is… A Mood
Oh I saw a dog today. The dog was great. I didn't get to pet the dog mostly because I wasn't willing to have a conversation with their human.
I don't know why the xkit reply-to-reply thing is more broken than when I left. It also took me like five minutes to figure out how to get to my other blogs and another five minutes to figure out where notes went to.
I'm not sure where Tumblr learned about UX but ... yeah. Not good. Not just the change. The fact that it gets worse every time on here.
I'm on for a few minutes. I've had a weird few months. I'm fine but things have been weird.
Mostly in my head but other things too.
People who believe humanity is intrinsically evil and must be destroyed are not my comrade and I do not trust them to express revolutionary compassion toward people who have suffered under capitalism and related systems.

Learn to kindly but firmly say “that’s personal”.
You owe no one information about your body, your opinions, your family, your health, not even your favorite food if u dont wanna share.
A kinda creepy guy at work asks what u did on the weekend? A well-meaning relative asks abt your health problems? A friend of a friend asks about your partner? Maybe smile for a second and then say “you know, that’s actually kinda personal” and change the subject or give a very general answer if u want.
You are entitled to privacy and to choosing who to share what with.
This is a really underrated approach to shutting down invasive questions about your illness or disability. Not only is it part of a social script (=socially acceptable), but being part of a script means they are less likely to push back or be offended by the boundary you’re setting.
Want to level it up a bit or make a point? Instead of making it sound like it’s a personal topic for you, try deploying a little condescension and careful wording to imply that that person is asking a universally inappropriate question. “That’s a little personal, don’t you think?” + the side eye can make a lot of people think twice.
Your mileage may vary on this (some people are just rude forever), but it’s certainly one for the toolbox.
anyway jeff bezos could eradicate homelessness. he could literally give each homeless person 100k and it would only take less than .5% of his entire wealth. what the actual god giving fuck
I got nothing done on the project but I spent all evening looking at sewing machines. Grr. Wish this was easier to pick.
if i switched bodies with someone they’d probably ask why everything hurts nd i would just be like “thats just how she works”
