The Trolley Problem in capitalism: The passengers in the trolley give no shit about which rail they use and how many people they run over, as long as the ride is smooth and their arrival isn't delayed.

sometimes I want to feel like an asshole, but I don't like being an asshole to (almost) anyone (but it's mostly political), so I have a smoke a from cruella-de-vil cigarette holder with a smug face

leftists read this and stop being ableist 

leftists say this with me:

calling people in the capitalist and political class "dumb" "mad" "crazy" "bonkers" "thick" "stupid" "insane" etc etc is ableism.

everytime you do this you reinforce the idea that there is an equivalence between being harmful, dangerous and evil with being neurodiverse.

this is empirically false (neurodiverse folk typically have very little power or status and are far more likely to be harmed by others than harmful themselves) and is actually a result of the very same domination by colonialism and capitalism that we're fighting.

just fucking stop.
capitalists/politicians are evil cause they're doing evil stuff.

self-harm, self-cutting 

Am I the only one who can’t tell which scars come from self-harm, which come from my cat using me as a living scratching toy, and which come from obsessively trying to shave every hair on my body with a really bad razor?

Me, at work: smashes random barely working models into existence, until I am very tired and choose whatever is “good enough” in my opinion

the vague suspicion and hostility you feel for men who "paint their nails and act like they're 'soft' and 'innocent' when they're not even that gender variant" is in fact indistinguishable from the normal homophobia and cissexism that punishes men for even the most trivial of gender nonconformity

everyone who wants to be cute is cute sorry i dont make the rules

gender stereotypes, meme 

Aaaaaa, this meme is so true about non-human (and sometimes human) depictions in media, especially art and cartoons. Like can you just not do that?

Btw about cat pics, while I am away, Emma stays with my friends and destroys all toys they give her

hospital, medication, selfie, loneliness, boredom 

meow
I don’t know what to do in the hospital so I took a selfie. Also I am lonely so I harass people in chats sometimes with memes, cute stuff and cat pics. Asked the doctors to stop giving me that much sleeping meds, because at this point I am literally hibernating. I want to meet people and do some activiiiiiiiissssssmmmmmm

hospital, medication, sleeping troubles 

I don’t know what they give me every night for sleeping medicine, but it makes me sleep like 18-20 hours a day. I had insomnia before being admitted, but this is an overkill

mh, insectophobia 

After some sleeping though, I returned to my previous insectophobic self. But I think this is still a very serious breakthrough. I need to explore myself more.

mh, insectophobia, insects, trauma 

Yesterday however, with some help, I fully immersed myself with an idea that I am an insect queen. Like went into totally different state of mind. This felt extremely weird, but instead of trembling and having extreme anxiety I actually spent hours admiring locusts, butterflies, bugs, mantises, bees, wasps and other insects; watched some videos on how insects actually work. This was very weird but also very satisfying.

I felt familiarity and connection to the insect world. Something I could never feel outside this state of mind, being rather extremely phobic.

mh, insectophobia, insects, trauma 

To cope with this I sometimes imagined myself as an insect queen - the locusts chose me rather than just swarmed. Also recently I decided to try to create an insectoid character for a tabletop RPG I plan to play. This helped me a bit, but not fully.
