So here's the thing. Impostor syndrome is a feature, not a bug. It's a deliberate product of a system that prevents you from demanding to be treated like you're worth something by chipping away at you in tiny ways until it fools you into thinking you're not.

You're not an impostor. You're a victim of a psychological warfare campaign.

Reclaiming memes from Nazis is good.

But reclamation literally requires that the meme not have belonged to Nazis in the first place; otherwise it's just claiming.

We don't need to claim Nazi memes as our own; they all suck and are inherently designed around Nazi ideals.

Whereas our memes kick ass and are inherently gay as fuck.

Tumblr 

Heh, first day on back on Tumblr and I've already irritated someone by calling out someone's Christian apologia in a pagan space, of all things.

Asking for financial aid 

So thanks to my family's insurance fucking us over to the tune of 6 grand, and rent seekers magically losing our checks to them, we're about $7k in the hole.

If you could help us out a little to ease the financial blow, that would be great. I personally want to hang the insurance company who suddenly decided that we owe them money over something that they should have been covering.

Snark, spite 

It's funny how the venn diagram for NightCrew, terrible fucking people, and being associated with Flowless is a solid circle, and hasn't changed in forever.

That's another one from redroom for my blocklist.

So I beat Sword of Mana, and while most guides recommended an endgame level of 60-70, I did it at level 55

just generally speaking, even if someone is not autistic (or not running around with it in their bio)? it would be super nice if people would consider more often responding to mild social awkwardness with simple correction or ignoring the person rather than immediately jumping to Dunk Time

there are way too many interactions on Twitter etc. where both sides are flailing edgily at each other over ridiculous, petty assumed slights

PSA Pronouns 

Remember that pronouns and gender are two separate things that, usually aligned, don't have to be aligned to each other. You could be masc-alined and use feminine-aligned pronouns, and vice versa.

Let's try not to police how we use our own pronouns. Our choice of pronouns are a decision that's ours and ours alone to make.
