This is the English word I want to get tattooed on my wrist. It means “to keep breathing even though the water rises all around you.” English is such a mystical exotic language. They can fit so much meaning into so small a word.

  • Formation of an ossified class of super-wealthy who extract their income from rents while most of humanity has to scrape by on precarious wages
  • Development of a backwards-looking culture that endlessly rehashes the supposed glories of the past whilst rejecting new innovation
  • Decline of central authority as power is seized by local warlords
  • Decline in literacy and learning as education becomes increasingly inaccessible to anyone but the very wealthy
  • Degradation of the ability of the state to perform even its basic functions due to generations of hollowing out by inward-turn rich elites
  • And, of course, epidemic diseases all over the place.

Yeah, I'm thinking dark age.

Your parents are not "narcissists". They're typical authoritarian assholes who treat you like their property because society allows them to.

Your ex boyfriend is not a "narcissist". He's a typical misogynistic douchebag who treats women like shit because society allows him to.

Your boss is not a "narcissist". They're a typical classist dipshit who thinks workers' entire purpose in life is to generate profit because society allows them to.

And even if they happen to be a "narcissist", that's not what gave them the power to get away with abuse.

So stop blaming mental illness and start blaming society's normalization of abuse. Stop acting like someone has to have a mental illness in order to do something cruel when ordinary people have been doing atrocious things since forever.

Pathologizing abuse, whether it’s in the home or the workplace, whether it’s physical or emotional or sexual, stops us from being able to recognize the hegemonic structures that make abuse so universal. It is not aberrant, it is completely normal, and that should spur you to action

i appreciate the attempts a lot of game devs are making with gender neutral character creation, and i appreciate that it's actually a very difficult task to implement that depending on the game's base code. but it's so funny to me when you hear an uproar because some game has "entirely removed the gender option from character creation!!!!!" so you go to check it out and its just like

If your regular everyday clothes* were put on a mannequin, and placed in a group of other mannequins that are dressed in regular street clothes of your region, could the people who know you spot the mannequin who is "you" from clothes alone?

*if you are of an unusual size or build, assume for the sake of this thought experiment that they've found clothing items that are otherwise identical to yours, but able to fit to a standard mannequin
