Once I was talking to a therapist and I said “I am so sick of never being able to look in the mirror and seeing someone who hasn’t been through this”, and she replied “but you do get to look in the mirror and see someone who has never and would never do this, and that is important. You are what you do to others far more than you are what has been done to you” I am thinking about that a lot lately
“And I started to grow chitin, and my range of motion started reducing. At the time I couldn’t care less; it meant I was safer, meant I could not be harmed but by the monumental. And I’ve lived that way now for so long that that I sort of… forgot, that I wasn’t at the start so confined, that I used to be free. Vulnerable, yes, but free; with the carapace I was safe… or so I believed.
The trouble with exoskeletons is that they have to be shed periodically. They don’t change size, they just get tighter and tighter with every little bit of growth. Every incremental improvement squeezes, until eventually you are in agony and have no option left to you but to moult, to take the very thing that kept you alive and eject from it or else it will crush you dead from safety.”

I’m tired of caring about being unwell. Panel 3: I’m tired of still having to deal with the minutiae of everyday life while dealing with being unwell. Panel 4: I want to put joy and love into the world, but all this pain keeps coming out of me instead.]
Imagine spending years and years looking for aliens and then your sister Jenny marries the same alien who happens to be your half sisters’ father.

Wow wish I had a cool gf
man’s dating a village wise woman and complaining
you think someone would have been decent enough to give me an ounce of creativity or artistry to go along with this inexpressible nonsense pain but no. i wish there was a single ounce of metaphor rattling around my empty skull.
I’m proud of myself and my friends are very very kind My bed hasn’t been clear since…… fuck since Christmas??? And it was really gross and grim but now it’s CLEAN
I’m going through old posts of mine (this one is about three years old) and
1) growth: not only is my bed clean all the time now, but my room largely is now, too. At max it takes a few hours to sort it. Its funny how you can grow and not notice.
2) Exactly how was I supposed to not fall in love with this human. Didn’t have a chance.
TIL astronaut Jack Schmidt discovered he was allergic to moon dust, which is a thing millions of other people have probably gone their whole lives never knowing.
Imagine being one of only twelve guys ever to have the honour of walking on the moon and then when you get there you’re allergic to it.
pick your fighter
the ‘$1000 to go to Hawaii’ bride, the ‘I bought a $99 polygraph on amazon’ lady, or the ‘why was $200 so huge’ birthday girl
a lot of people seem to be confused and think the hawaii bride and the polygraph lady are the same but they’re actually 2 separate people so here’s all 3 in one go
the “$1500 to go to hawaii” bride
Ms Polygraph Test
$200 birthday
bask in the unfiltered nonsense of it all
since someone mentioned this and I had forgotten, a last minute entry fighter: “Squire Sebastian” lady

I don’t trust anybody who positions lesbians & bi women as inherently in conflict tbh. I’m so tired of the generalizations & stereotypes of either identity being used to fuel infighting, especially now that I’m in a point in my life where I do have a rich, healthy & loving wlw community. I wish everyone would commit to not projecting bad experiences with one group of lesbians/bi women to literally every woman on earth who shares that identity label. We’re all just women who love women— if there’s anything inherent in us it is that we’re fated to be lovers and comrades, not enemies.
