I’m all for making stuff up when putting mythology in your story but it’s also amazing how many people can’t tell the difference between a work of fiction and what people who practiced a religion or a folk tradition at the time actually believed.

Me: I wonder where my brother is

The Greek chorus hogging the entire couch: How quickly this one forgets where his brother has gone to go cycling. How quickly he forgets all things. We wonder what the gods will think of this indiscression. If they think anything at all.

Me: Do you guys ever take those masks off?

The Greek chorus hogging the entire couch: No. It’s a sex thing.

I'm never going to tell anyone what they are or aren't ""allowed" to be ""concerned"" about. ultimately Concern is an emotion, and emotions are emotions. everyone can be very concerned about many things at the same time because we're all humans. first and foremost my priorities are political strategy + political rhetoric + political theory, and how underlying ideologies are reflected in the ways we talk about politics. you're allowed to be Concerned and you're allowed to be Uncomfortable, but that is not the same as it being a wise political move to make those feelings the centre of a debate or a movement or a coalition

The real reason why you need to be social is the best chinese place within 10 miles is an unknown hole in the wall with a yearly marketing budget of $15 dollars and you will never, ever find it unless someone tells you about it.

every so often I think about that one tweet that was shared around on here that says something like "you can't get in trouble with other adults as an adult". and I know it was probably in a context of "be yourself! don't listen to your social anxiety!" but even within that context. I don't think it helps people to send around a message that's that out of touch with reality

ever had a job? you can get in trouble with your boss (they can fire you). ever rented? you can get in trouble with your landlord (they can evict you). ever existed in public spaces? you can get in trouble with the police. you can get in trouble with the government, with your psychologist, your doctor, etc etc etc. these people all have power over the large majority of adults (and even more so for marginalised adults)

sure, maybe the power differentials that exist between two adults are not identical to the power differentials that exist between an adult and a child. and sure, maybe some people exaggerate in their minds exactly how much harm will come to them for the crime of Wearing Bright Colours To A Friend Date or something. but you don't solve social anxiety by lying to people about what the Real World is like
