btw part of what's at stake in accepting that the family form is inherently unjust & harmful to children is, you don't have to have endured an anomalous degree of violence, coercion, or abuse in order to have been traumatised by your family & your childhood. it is an inherently violent & terrifying situation to be completely at the mercy of people who have total material and financial control over you. it is inherently violent that they have the legal right eg to hit you or deprive you of privacy, whether or not they personally exercise these rights. all of this also applies to the other most obvious population made vulnerable by the family form, the elderly

You need to understand that my analysis of a series of films is going to be based on what's actually present in the films. That the current owners of the intellectual properties associated with those films are loudly insisting that a specific piece of fixit fic published decades after the fact is how it was meant to be understood all along is an interesting bit of trivia, but it's got nothing to do with me.

We're at a Midwestern potluck held in a church basement.

Before we sit down in our flimsy metal folding chairs, we need to make a plate! What are we getting?

The brain does not magically mature at 25. Actual neuroscientists note some 8-year-olds even have a greater "maturation index" than 25-year-olds. The myth misunderstands basic neuroscience but is still used for anti-trans policymaking like the Cass Report. https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/brain-development-25-year-old-mature-myth.html

Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”

Rewatched The Good Place for the first time since s4 dropped and. Oh my god. The Good Place said "people are a result of their environment but we always have a moral responsibility to be better" and The Good Place said "every day the world gets a little more complicated and it gets a little harder to be good" and The Good Place said "even in the face of total nihilism, when nothing you do will matter, you still have to at least try. Because trying is better than the alternative" and The Good Place said "if you have bills to pay and shit to deal with you don't have time or energy to become a better person" and then The Good Place really said "people get better when they get external love and support. How can we hold it against them when they don't " and THEN The Good Place really said "no one is irredeemable. Everyone can try to be better today than they were yesterday" AND THEN! The Good Place said "Heaven is just enough time with the people that you love" OH MY FUCKING GOD.

For about 6 years now I've had a running gag with one of my cousins where, once every like 6 months or so, I'll find a way to insert a certain mental image into the conversation. The mental image is "a pile of toilets in an elevator, which closes and then goes up." I do this as naturally as possible. I'll construct an entire scripted conversation path with the express intention of leading into an opportunity for me to say "a pile of toilets in an elevator, which closes and then goes up." I have talked other people who aren't me into integrating the phrase into their conversations with him just once. He fucking hates it. He has threatened to kill me about it. I let so much time pass between instances that he never sees it coming. Because he knows that the only way to see it coming is to integrate into his brain the expectation that at any point, any conversation may suddenly turn out to be a toilet-elevator trap. And that's a fucking insane way to live.

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.
