This hit hard. I’m glad they put this bit in, I couldn’t have put my experience in better words. It’s important to step back to think what a success is and do a check. Where do I want to be and why? If I’m not there, am I taking the steps towards that goal?  And a reminder that progress isn’t linear. Sometimes we have other things going on and have to take a step back to take two steps forward. 

Things take time. That’s a reminder.

Someone on TikTok said that bitches with anxiety love the enemies to lovers trope because the idea of having someone see all of our negative traits first and then still fall in love with us is really comforting since we worry that if someone sees our negative traits after they fall in love, they’ll leave us.

It’s me, I’m bitches.

Obviously the health officials did not talk to anyone even loosely affiliated with an actual school. For reasons big or small, terrible or sympathetic, parents send children to school sick all the time.

Schools have spent decades encouraging nonsensical levels of attendance, rewarding kids who don’t take a single day off all term/semester/year, and even punishing kids who take “too much” time off sick. Kids who actually get ill enough to stay home miss out on fun things and “prizes” and awards, because going to school with the flu (or almost anything else) is considered right, good, and necessary.

Then a pandemic comes along that solidly half the population insists is “just the flu” and you think people are going to forget that you indoctrinated them to believe that if they were capable of being conscious (and sometimes not even then) they should be in school? (And later, in work - this is at least part of the point of this stuff, training you to work while sick).

To say nothing of the simple fact that parents are frequently without childcare options and are forced to be in work even if they should be isolating. That’s also a huge problem.

Complaining about "grown women" being in fandom is the easiest way to get blocked by me.

I'm really sorry that misogyny has made you believe that women are only supposed to have kids, take care of the house, and maybe be allowed to have a couple "acceptable" hobbies.

Women are allowed to enjoy things for the rest of their lives and that includes continuing to be in fandom, a space they intially carved for themselves and other adults.

Good timing for this. Just blocking someone who is barely old enough to see my blog for saying something like this last night.

Alienating women who have children for participating in things outside of their children is a very specific sort of sexism and anti feminism and if you believe women who have children or people who have children don’t belong in fandoms, unfollow me. My blog is not for you.

Periodic reminder that Hans Asperger was a Nazi who was directly involved with the Holocaust by selecting children he felt were unworthy of life because of their disability and sending them off to be killed. Reminder that the vast majority of the disabled children who were murdered during the Holocaust were Jewish, Rroma, or otherwise non-white.

Asperger’s diagnostic criteria were designed to protect Arian children from being exterminated at the expense of Jewish children, Rroma children, and children of color. Asperger’s syndrome continues to be a part of the institutionalized racism in psychiatry and special education with profound consequences for people of color.

Besides, as a Jew, the fact that a remnant of the Holocaust is routinely used to describe my neurotype is horrifying and disgusting but as long as people insist on using it it’s not going to go anywhere.

That’s so fucked
