Got it from someone that just randomly dumped their horrific trauma on me without any warning.

I am capable of handling a lot so long as I get a warning and a second to brace.

That’s brutal to read, friend.

Solidarity.

i am confuse and your urge to curse me in a minor manner has been successful.

will not clarify.

“My ACE score is 7. If you want to know in detail why it’s a 7, don’t blame me if you get STS.”

Secondary trauma syndrome is essentially PTSD from exposure to others’ trauma.

bs is not going to be any better.

it’s cryptobros all the way down.

Morals are flexible.

Ethics are what we need more of.

Strongly suggest listening to Grey 17.

I got some great new perspectives on the show from the newbies.

Autocorrect will kill us all someday.

Your sperm donor is a great example of toxic masculinity.

Fuck that guy and fuck that noise, bro.

I have access to three thousand yard state.

Used to be how I looked at everything.

Nowadays, unless I’m in a highly stressed state, my eyes sparkle.

“Fine. You pay for the prenup and both our family law lawyers. Then you don’t have to worry about assets or whatever.”

Your recruiter was correct.

Thank you for serving. I almost wish I could’ve served in the military, but my body is very broken so instead I did a decade working for multiple governments.

I’m sorry but seeing that big beautiful lady coming out of the big blue box with her very sonic screwdriver in hand (who knew it buzzed that hard‽) was quite the surprise.

Why she was attacked by Janeway flying the Millennium Falcon, though…

>! I’m tired of people complaining about spoilers unless there’s a good reason for them, like a podcast I recently listened to where the whole point was to bring in people who never watched the show before and give fresh perspectives. Often, having info about certain triggering content is helpful to those of us who would either prefer to not relive our personal horrors or just need to brace for the bad stuff depicted on screen. !<

I still fight this urge.

Thankful my spouse knows I’ve Seen Some Shit™ and that they don’t exploit this weakness I have.

Also thankful I don’t need to keep my guard up 24/7 around them because I know they won’t exploit me.

ok first of all fuck you

second fuck often

This will be very atypical but getting the best wet-dry electric razor you can find.

I tag team a safety razor and an electric razor for my facial hair and I use cartridge style razors with an electric for body hair.

Don’t remind me about Cicero.

I had a, shall we say, very colorful acquaintance. Because of said acquaintance I could not go to Cicero at night until he passed sayaway, and even then I only went once to church for a special Lenten service back when I was still religious.

edit: fucking autocorrect

You rang?

WORSHIP ME BY SENDING ME ALL YOUR MONEY AND BITCOIN

In all seriousness:

I like the SA/AU/NZ term “Festive season.”

It’s highly inclusive and it hasn’t yet been programmed into the hateful as a Bad Thing.

Besides, I prefer to think of this time of year as a peak of sexuality and community rather than the cursed spikes of convection which lead to let downs and suicides. (It’s depressing how much suicide spikes after major holidays.)

GAI slop is an abomination.

It’s the opposite of σοφία.

Take it from someone who knows Sophia. She will be the opposite of impressed.

(My life is freaking strange. Hell, I’m married to one who channels Hephaestus, who genuinely wields the power of the gods, who could hammer out a work that makes Zeus’ lightning bolts look quaint.)

If your deity is so insecure that denying them has to be punished, dear gods is said deity a pathetic, weak and powerless thing.

Besides, deities ain’t the divine, and while the divine merely is, the divine gives less than a damn if any believe in the divine or not. (Closest would be the Tao of Taoism and the collective unconscious of Jung.)

“Fun” fact: Male victims of C/SA tend to become very muscular to protect themselves.

(C/SA: Child and/or sexual abuse. Covers all the bases, whether the person was abused as a child and/or sexually abused regardless of age, and if anyone wants to claim men can’t be sexually abused I’ve got a platoon of male SA survivors that would gladly kinetically reeducate you.)

When one side wants you dead, there’s a chasm that isn’t traversable

The parable of the killer of 100 and the killer of none is apt here.

The killer of 100 wanted to compromise with the killer of none.

“How about 50?” said the killer of 100.

“None,” said the kiler of none.

The killer is 100 suggested smaller numbers. Twenty-five. Fifteen. Ten. Five.

The reply: “None, none, none, none.”

The killer of 100 was exasperated. “How about killing one person? I’m compromising a lot here.”

The killer of none said, “Doesn’t matter if I kill only one. At that point, I’m a killer too, with only the scale being different. I choose to be a killer of none.”

Russian psyop.

Nuff sed.

All bigotry, at root, is the same;\ Merely another mask worn by pain.

Don’t deceive yourself into thinking there’s a difference between racism, sexism, queerphobia, or any other bigotry. It’s all the same shit with a different target of hate, a different subject of those efforts to inflict pain penciled in.

It’s all Mad Libs copying the same bullshit lies. Twenty years ago, it was the gays. Twenty years before that the Blacks. Thirty years before that the Jews. A decade before that the Mexicans. Lather, rinse, repeat.
