me, stupidly and weirdly resistant to listening to audio books vs reading a physical book for no real reason: man i wish there was a way to like, read a book while i crochet like i do with tv shows and movies and podcasts
have a new mental disorder im naming transit blues where im perfectly well adjusted [citation needed] right up until i miss a bus by one minute which triggers a depressive spiral so bad that the only reason i do not kill myself is because i know in 3 hours ill be literally fine again and actually mildly embarrassed about the suicide ideation at that point
having arfid is like if someone diagnosed you with "hates poop disorder" then told you that you either have to start eating bowls of horse diarrhea with human nail clippings in it or you die. that would fucking suck now wouldn't it
very happy Matt decided to clarify his stance on the genocide of the Palestinian people rn. Pretty unhappy with the way he worded it, who he centered in his video, and disappointed to see the responses to it on Twitter.
kinda scared to even post about it bc CR fans can get so defensive about their favorite white people that they can often leave little room for criticism or nuance. but man I have thoughts.
Okay. When it comes to topa's storyline, and, take this with a HEAVY grain of salt, as I am (afaik) neither trans nor intersex, but it feels to me like their storyline works better as an intersex commentary, than a trans one. Do I think it was intended to be a commentary on trans issues? Yeah, probably, but I also don't think they necessarily meant it in the way it comes across. If you look at it from an intersex lens, however, it lines up WAY more accurately (again. as far as I'm aware. from what I've read. heavy grain of salt.) with the feelings of an intersex individual who'd been operated on at birth, later having complex gender feelings, unaware of themselves being intersex, then finding out this fact and the fact they were operated on as a baby, and being. yknow. upset about that. because altering baby's genitals when there's nothing wrong with them is, in fact, Not Good. Idk. I think I'm the only person on this website who even watches this show but I'd be interested in hearing opinions and having a discussion about this, specifically with trans and intersex fans of the show. See if I'm completely off base, yknow...?
i think some people are setting their expectations wayyyy too high for what shadow will be written like now. "the mandates are COMPLETELY gone shadow is fixed now guys!!" no theyre not literally all they said is that the rules have changed a little. like dont get me wrong thats good news too but a lot of people are exaggerating and setting themselves up for disappointment in my opinion
