Next prompt of #bugsinbloom2025 Ladybug + Daisy

And I'm keeping the same style because reasons 💖

La siguiente propuesta es mariquitas y margaritas, hasta suena bonico en español. Seguiré con el mismo estilo por motivos obvios 💖

the thing is there's really no substitute for feeling the right way about something. Self awareness helps of course. I think the best analogy is an optical illusion. Knowing it's an optical illusion is better than not knowing, but doesn't make you able to perceive what's really there, like what you would measure with a ruler.

So that's the thing about trying to scare me—it works. No matter how much I know. The same tricks work on me as everyone else. Getting me to vividly imagine the unlikely disaster, selectively showing me cases where things went bad no matter how much effort it took to find them among the many cases were things went fine. Or not even that, positing some spurious mechanism seems to work better than any faux empiricism.

But it's not a friendly act. It harms my judgment.

I had to defend against this to become an independent adult. A combination of being nervous by nature and a certain "witchy" quality of my mother, a deliberate cultivation of superstitious fear.

So when a MAGA friend of mine was saying that sure the immigrant crime stuff is exaggerated but if that's what it takes to get people to take the issue seriously... I can't even explain how unsympathetic I am to that line of reasoning without... well maybe she needs to meet my family.
