gotta remember, once I get past "possible bot/possible plant account" every group regardless of ethnicity, gender, orientation or beliefs is going to include at least a few totally rank assholes, so some leftists are just going to be rank assholes semi-independent of their politics.

oh yeah it's John Williams' stirring "March of the Thyreophorans"

Yeah except BPD people can be basically well intentioned and okay people. A narcissist is just an OSHA hazard. I realize saying this makes me ableist, you try growing up with someone on the spectrum then being so abused as an adult that you get suicidal ideation daily for months on end and tell me narcs are great.

Sade’s “Smooth Operator” but it’s about “chronic masterbator,” and all the lyrics are about his collection of magazines with stuck together pages etc

@electrickeet actually, do you have plans on Monday? Turns out I get President's Day off, of all weird holidays.

listened to the mashup enough that as soon as the Ghostbusters theme comes on I immediately think "DON'T tell me to smile/you stick around I'll make it worth your while/got numbers beyond what you can dial/maybe it's cause I'm so versatile"

today's recontextualizing things as ADHD, I now realize that even when I think terrible things, I'm not an out of control monster like I've been told, I'm just frustrated which builds up differently than for someone with a "normal" brain.

The bad news is "the worst people in the world doing not just mean but intrinsically impractical bullshit with out money, like all abusers they can slam you at any time, and nothing that should stop them does" is pretty much the definition of frustration.

Originally Bowie was going to make the song about “let’s fart!” with appropriate noises

But then he was worried that people wouldn’t take the moonlight seriously enough.

but there were some who resisted. A last alliance of Literally Some of Everything marched against the armies of Mordor who were also a mix of Everyone, if you read the Silmarillion, and there on the very slopes of Mount Doom, they fought for lower rents, shorter hours, and legalized marijuana.

the world has changed. I smell it in the water. I taste it in the air. I hear it in the wind. I see it in the leaves. I feel it in my bungho....

*offstage* GET ON WITH IT THEN

much that once was, isn't. for there are few now who still remember it.

it began with the rings of power. not a nasty, slimy ring, full of cruelty and malice, but a hobbit ring and that means comfort.

First I realized that neurotypicals' understanding of criticism isn't the same as mine (and I circled back to it today). They might see their criticism as merely intended to instruct me in a task, BUT they figure this is a quick deal thrown at someone with a relatively functional ego (after all, would I be doing this if I didn't know I was smart?). On my side, though, it's a lot of you-fucked-up for what feels like half of forever, when I'm already dumping energy into uninteresting tasks and the hypervigilence of expecting attack (and, having been repeatedly told I'm stupid/weak/clumsy/ugly/unfunny/undesirable adds to not feeling I'm competent at things, so I'm not as capable of setting criticism aside as "yeah, but I'm good elsewhere.")

All it takes is a *little* maliciousness - a few times when I really *was* set up to fail, or an adult screaming at me or similar because I failed to do it perfectly, or an adult screaming at me because I had a meltdown (which they parsed as that I was innately an uncontrollable, hateful little monster) -

- a little earnest messaging that this dreck I didn't want to do in the first place was CRUCIALLY VITAL TO THE REST OF MY EXISTENCE FOREVER , especially because my childhood was really focused on punishment, so what the neurotypicals considered a reward was stuff I considered even more frequent or more difficult tasks as a setup to fail -

- and a little obvious unfairness and favoritism -

- and I came to believe that any criticism was intended maliciously to crush me and make me an emotional void useful to someone else. I've learned over the years that it takes very little actual malicious intent to be parsed as constantly malicious.

Next while walking I realized my understanding of reward and consequence is different from theirs. To them, you need to do step A => step B => step C => reward. And getting criticized, making sense of it, and using that to give the next steps more technical proficiency, is just one more of those steps. And they'll expect me to be grateful for them trying to teach me, instead of me resenting them dumping criticism on me for failing to perfectly accomplish stuff I was never actually interested in.

But to me, not only is the logic step A=> reward which inspires me to try step B => reward which inspires me to try step C, but the longer I wait for reward, the more chance there is someone will dump additional tasks or additional steps into the process, and reward will never arrive. Step A => step B => steps 1-5 of a completely different and uninteresting but mandatory process => step C =>step D => step E => step F. => reward... but only maybe, if there's not another thing more vitally important, and besides the reward is probably going to someone who's already considered the good person for whatever reason (usually appearance or money).

And the reward I usually want is either praise (impossible if I've fucked up, or if I perceive or actually experience someone else always being valued above me), or time and energy for what does interest me (which now feels more and more squeezed out because I feel constantly expected to put in more and more work on what these adults and peers consider vital, *and* feel grateful for it).
