"wow living as a person with a yellow head sure is cool

kill yourself' you're yellow
since i am human, my mental state worsens due to abuse

5 months later
see, this study says that people with yellow heads are more likely to be depressed. that means its inherent to them being yellow. we should bleach their heads even if it meant death for them

i've never seen a person with a yellow head so i will agree"

"dont armchair diagnose mass shooters and other killers. the misconception that all violent people must be mentally ill (and the following conclusion that all mentally ill people must be dangerous) has horrible real life consequences for visibly mentally ill people
[...]
please consider the real life consequences of reinforcing the association between mental illness and violence"

"so grief is like this

there is a box with a ball in it, and a pain button

in the beggining, the ball is huge. you cant move the box without the ball hitting the pain button. it rattles around on its own and in there and hits the button over and over. you cant control it - it just keeps hurting. sometimes it seems unrelenting

over time, the ball gets smaller. it hits the button less and less but when it does, it hurts just as much. its better because you can function day to day more easily. but the downside is that the ball randomly hits that button when you least expect it

for most people, the ball never really goes away. it might hit less and less and you have more time to recover between hits, unlike when the ball was still giant"

relationships, boundaries, socialization

"your partner is allowed to have meaningful relationships with other people

your partner is allowed to get things from those relationships they dont get from you

demanding you being the only source of pleasure and support in their life is possesive and toxic"

socialization, discrimination

"i hate that when the discussion turns to helping people, there's always someone who takes the most ungenerous, contemptible stand towards others.

if by helping legitimately needy people, i accidentally help some lazy people, so what? how is that worse than helping no one?"

lgbt, socialization, minorities

" "we can agree to disagree on trans issues"
No, we really cant

because disagreeing with the validity of someone's identity - and the rights and services they deserve or dont deserve because of it - is discrimination, not disagreement"

"im learning to understand and accept that sometimes people just want to vent, and dont require my input or opinion about what bothers them

sometimes there's a third option, you just listen. someone having a bad day isnt a task i must pick up"
