There is just this rage that comes with realizing your body is just completely fucked while still outwardly looking Fine.
And then garnering the judgement of family who have convinced themselves you’re not trying hard enough.
And still waiting for a finished diagnosis to try petitioning for life-long physical therapy, pain management (that are NOT opioids when you can’t take nsaids, and you’re deemed too young for steroid injections especially as it is never brought up as an option), and ssi disability. Because what else are you gonna do. Especially when you’ll always be a burden. Capitalistic life isn’t designed to allow you to rest so you can still do Something within your limitations and not get injured, anyway. Or have energy left for yourself.
(No one is really clever enough to help, either. Is it even worth the risk to try contacting rehabilitation services when you need to stay on medicaid for a eventually-debilitating auto immune disease that has to have very expensive injections twice a month, all the while it’s the hypermobility that makes even being a student or hobbies or chores so iffy?)
And then trying to befriend some people. But there’s this wall there. They radiate concern. Sometimes affection. But I don’t want pity. (I don’t know how to accept actual sympathy to my face by their vibes and tone and body language, anyway.) I just want secure friendships. I just want—for once in my adult life, or my life period if including neurodivergence’s and the resulting cptsd from not even remotely accepting environments—to not be my Problems. Someone else’s Problem.
I just want to be human. I want to have fun and feel capable and not blunderingly or intentionally reminded that I’m not.
(Am I even worth being someone not pitied? Not judged? Will I ever be fun?)

This is so stupid for me to rant about especially because I had a really good day for once-but it seems after it becomes night and the day is over the bad thoughts really hit-but I hate how I keep getting eaten with this imposter syndrome of me being not the most knowledgeable person on older anime even if I KNOW significant details there’s still so much anime generally I haven’t watched and only seen bits of-not even just like a ep, literal clips-that I should get too but forcing myself to wanna watch something yet watching things has become something I have to commit too instead of just something to do to unwind too like it should be because my brain makes ALL my hobbies be the opposite of what they are. I feel like I’m left behind from so many friends because I haven’t watched certain shows when some I don’t feel like doing right now or ever and I wonder if people are constantly disappointed in me for not doing it as if I don’t have a life and wanting to get through even a 20+ ep show is a struggle even though there’s shows longer then that I’m gonna have to watch.
I feel I ranted about this before or maybe from the mecha angle specifically but man I feel just for how much old anime I have tried is enough to make people look lowly of me.

As a black woman, why do you hate Zendaya? I'm really curious. Is it the way Zs fans abuse Tom? Is it you're obsessed with him and are jealous? I don't get it! You refer to Zendaya as her,that's rude as fuck. Are you trying to appease your pathetic anons who run to you for validation? You're the mirror imagine of Zendaya fans who abuse Tom just you want Tom with anyone but Z
Okay, I’m responding to this because I’m genuinely tired of watching you torture yourself with these ideas.
You know why I’ve been ignoring your asks? Because I don’t need to explain myself to you over something I am not. I’ve mentioned Zendaya by name plenty of times, and these days, I barely mention her at all. I don’t know what is your fucking problem, but since you’ve been around for a while, you’ve probably seen other Tom fans call me a hater just because I don’t always put him on a pedestal. It’s the same for every celebrity. I have both positive and negative opinions, but I’m not this person who is constantly slandering Zendaya or tracking everything she does just to criticize her. I’m not out here bothering her fans with hateful comments about *her* (because those are her pronouns, and it’s ridiculous that even that offends you).
Not agreeing with my opinions is one thing, but twisting them into something I’m not is another. You can worship whatever celebrity you like, but don’t make it my problem as if I owe you an explanation just because I’m not acting the way you think I should. Just like I don’t owe anything to the Tom fans constantly shading me or calling me a hater, I don’t owe you anything either.
~~
One of the blogs here was recently discussing Tom’s career, and some Tomdaya blog screenshot their post, acting like it was the most offensive thing ever. As if caring about his career more than his relationship is somehow a crime 😯 Even another blog, which used to post nothing but positive things about Zendaya, got asks saying ‘but I thought you hated her’ just because they started talking about how they wanted to see Tom succeed beyond Spidey. Do you see a pattern?

I hope they announce a show where First is an actual lead…
He was so wonderful in The Eclipse, and then sidelined in absolutely everything that has come since…
“He was a lead in Only Friends!” No he wasn’t. He wasn’t a main character, he was the love interest to a main (adjacent) character. Which sucks because Sand was, by far, one of the most interesting characters in that show and yet no one cares… which is tragic lol his character is so much more interesting than Ray (imo) but under used.
I just want First to play a lead. Preferably, with an actual flushed out back story.
I’m not trying to disregard Khao’s acting either - he’s great. Both he and First are wonderful. I just wished it was more balanced. I also wish they’d get to play different characters because this is the 3rd show where they (with some glaring differences I know) play very similar characters.
Procrastination rant over 😅

So for anyone who doesn’t keep up with nz politics, which i’m assuming is most of you, our new radical right government have decided one of their main aims of their term will be to re-interpret the Treaty of Waitangi.
The Treaty is an agreement between Maori and the Crown, now the NZ government. It is the founding document of new zealand and is recognised as a constitutional document today; it is the only treaty of its kind/time still honoured, and it is the steps we’ve taken through the Treaty to provide restitution and build an ongoing relationship with Maori and their iwi (tribes) that has allowed the relationship between Maori and the government to thrive where other indigenous groups have struggled to achieve recognition of their rights.
This is going to be entirely undone. Not only is this issue inflammatory and a threat to race relations in Aotearoa, leaked documents show the proposed “reinterpretation” wants to negate pretty much the entirety of the legal rights provided to Maori under the treaty. For example, the treaty article that guarantees land rights for Maori will be reinterpreted to guarantee land rights for “all New Zealanders”. Which means this article would be essentially meaningless for Maori.
By removing Maori from the context they are trying to put Maori on an “equal footing” with all New Zealanders; they are riding the idea that Maori have special rights and privileges above that of the average New Zealander. Obviously this is bullshit but it’s effective rhetoric and there’s a grain of truth to in that the extent of Maori rights hadn’t been clearly defined due to the ongoing nature of the process. So this has got a lot of people with a poor grasp of the issues very upset and baying for change.
There is a hui (meeting) being held today for all the iwi to begin discussions of how Maori will respond to this. New Zealand politics isn’t very interesting usually, but our progress on indigenous rights, until now, has been absolutely ahead of the field. If you care about indigenous rights globally, you should care about this, because in the same way Australia’s referendum loss has spurred on this action, the loss of rights here will spur other right wing governments to be similarly bold to their own indigenous groups.
Indigenous rights in New Zealand are under attack. They are meeting today to discuss it, and New Zealand will be listening, but I want the world to be listening. Because our government needs the shame of being called out by more than just the people who they’ve already decided don’t vote for them.
Maori have a long and proud history of fighting for their rights, and they’ll do it again here. And I’ll be on the pickets beside them, but there’ll be plenty of my own pickets to attend, because this government is radical in every sense of the word.
So please, even if you’re very far away, stand behind them in this. Keep your eyes on us. Amplify their voices. Don’t let the racism drown them out.
