Saw my therapist about my arm yesterday and it went well. But she’s going to the US next week for a conference. I said, oh. She said, yeah. Pregnant pause. She said, the numbers are down on last year, people cancelling. I said, well, you’ll probably be fine at the border, you’re white and you have blue eyes. She said, probably, but I don’t have a dick.
This is how perceptions of travelling to the US have changed in the last few weeks. However, Australians have been detained by border officials and sent back here for no good reason even before now, due to the weird culture among a significant number of US border officials who are suspicious of anyone not from the US.

TW: Heavily implied Child Abuse
Stowaway AU where Pacifica becomes a stowaway on the Stan-O-War 2 after trying to run away from home to California. Things don’t exactly work out as planned, but at least she’s got a “Summer Internship” away from her parents now!

hey guys… we all know that it’s okay for mithrun to have a caretaker for the rest of his life, right? that even after he heals and potentially regains his desires he will probably still need support?? that the goal of healing is not to become a “normal person”, but to build skills to navigate the world in a way that accommodates your disability??? that relying on the people around you is not a failure, but proof of your desire to live????

"For nearly two decades, the percentage of Americans who are committed climate skeptics has been pretty consistently below 10%. Likewise, if you ask Americans whether global warming is happening, roughly 4/5ths will say "yes".
[This graph] didn't change me because I got a useful piece of data, it changed me because this did not align with my perceived understanding of the situation. If you had asked me before I saw this graph, I would've told you that probably 50% of people in America thought that climate change is a scam or a hoax [...]
But if you believe that, you are fighting the wrong fight every day. You think there's a bunch of people who are impossible to convince so you're not trying to convince them. When actually the situation is mostly they're convinced, they're just not convinced that it is the thing that we need to be concentrating on right now because they're dealing with some other problem like the price of eggs at the grocery store.
So 1) you're caught fighting the exact wrong fight and 2) you're fighting it with the weight of despair tied around your neck.
If we could say this in the fewest words possible, it would be something like, With today's information ecosystem, it is very easy to believe that 50% of people hold the views of the most extreme 10% of them [...].
And it is no use to be weighed down by a world that isn't actually this one. This one's hard enough as it is."

In another, happier universe, Ratchet has a nightmare, sadly Optimus is bad at lying
Yesterday I was talking to another person about how much Optimus valued Ratchet in the Marvel comics and I still can’t get over it

There's also a reason I almost always say "harm" when talking about issues in the church and not "bigotry". Bigotry is part of harm, sure, but it isn't the whole picture.
I think sin doctrine is harmful. I think the concept of original sin is harmful. I think purity culture is harmful. I think hell doctrine is harmful. I think vertical morality is harmful. I think mandatory forgiveness is harmful. I think sin leveling is harmful. I think emotion and behavior and thought control are harmful. I think child indoctrination is harmful. I think believing you are separate from the world ("we're in the world not of the world") is harmful. I think isolating/insulating yourself from the world is harmful. I think believing this life is your "practice life" and your "real life" is in heaven is harmful. I think believing that you alone hold the one source of truth is harmful. I think spiritual bypassing is harmful. I think atonement theology is harmful. I think proselytizing is harmful. I think telling people that their thoughts, actions, emotions, beliefs are being monitored every second of every day is harmful. I think believing you are more knowledgeable than experts because you have an all knowing God on your side is harmful. I think believing you know other people's experiences better than they do because you have an all knowing God on your side is harmful. I think encouraging/requiring victims of abuse to put up with abuse because divorce is a sin is harmful. I think prioritizing faith over evidence is harmful.
I'm certainly missing things but this is long enough as is. And not every christian or church does or believes every single one of these, but none of these are one-off or two-off or even three-off things I've experienced. These are all patterns I've noticed.
So I find it odd that when I talk about harm within christianity, a lot of christians only hear "bigotry". And I also find sentiments along the lines of "it's not the doctrine it's the people carrying out the doctrine imperfectly" odd. Even if there were a church that was 100% bigotry free, addressing bigotry doesn't automatically address any of these other things. And I think that the harm christianity does goes far beyond bigotry. I think a lot of the harm is baked into it, baked right into the doctrine. Which means that for every person causing harm by carrying out the doctrine "incorrectly", there are just as many causing harm by carrying it out "correctly".

day 6 || this era lasted like 2 minutes but i love it anyway
#daily gi-hun#art post#redhead gi-hun my beloved#i know i barely ever draw him w/ red hair its not on purpose i swear#god this era of gi-hun in general is just so. hes exquisite to me okay#all eras of gi-hun are exquisite jsyk but while we r on the topic of this one#ppl kinda misunderstand this gi-hun lots i think. it was esp bad in 2021 i remember when he turned around before getting on the plane#hes not healed. like. At All.#if im being honest i dont even think this couldve been the START of a healing journey for him#other people have pointed this out before but like. what was he gonna do in america#that guilt would still follow him there. the trauma and ptsd would still be a huge part of his life#and its not like there are readily available resources for dealing with the trauma of going thru a death game#yeah he'd get to be with his daughter but ga-yeong is very perceptive and i think she'd notice the changes within her dads personality#which could even put a different kind of strain on their relationship thats different from the kind that existed before#gi-hun could only rlly distract himself for so long. i feel like even if he did go to america it'd just be a matter of time before he >#> couldnt take it anymore and went back to stop the games OR. something.. Worse.#its just not the kind of person gi-hun is. to forget like people want him to. thats just not him im sorry#there was never a world where he got on that plane and left it behind for good#anyway whatever i dont think we should shame a guy for trying to stop mass murder#yea we can debate all day about the effects his self isolation had on other people but i will NOT back down on him being right for TRYING#(side note: you can acknowledge gi-huns isolation had negative effects on other people [ie his daughter] WITHOUT VICTIM BLAMING HIM)#squid game#seong gihun#seong gi hun#squid game fanart#my art#doodle
