Millennial friend: *Has RSD*

Me: Hey, you doing okay? Lets take a break here, you seem like you're really deeply troubled and need to unpack some stuff, what's up?

Millennial friend: *Four hour unloading of totally understandable social anxiety and the pressures of expectations weighing on their sense of self*

Me: Okay, that's all totally valid and understandable, sometimes you just need someone to hear you, and understand your suffering.

Show thread

Boomer: *Shows clear signs of Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria*

Me: *Ignores all of them because the Boomer has no idea what RSD is, and would react Badly to Best Practices for dealing with RSD in others*

Also, the New England Fae and Sidhe I've seen aren't... Like the Europeans.

For one thing, some are obviously Celtic.But a Lot of them are Native spirits too. Pukwudgie and the like.

And they're Tribal. No courts, no Queens, it's all Regional. Anarchist faeries.

I feel that Speaking to the Fae and seeing spirits, Visions, and other Weird Shit(tm) makes me uniquely qualified to Tell when someone is living in a fabricated reality.

I'm really annoyed at how much I internalized and took to heart when I was younger.

So much of what Boomers told me was Projection. Today it's really Really clear.

Just makes it impossibly irritating to have to just Ignore what a boomer is saying to me, because I can tell they're projecting insecurities and actually talking about Themselves.

Hot Furry take 

Kerithe: Husky burly dragon men on a body pillow is the "Girl" version of the blow-up doll: All the juicy horny bits without any of the threatening aspects of the desired gender.

Those of us who study nuclear waste disposal for no good reason will find this "Live Laugh Love" sign pants-wettingly hilarious.

I actually get more conflicted when one of my friends changes their primary fursona than when they decide to transition genders IRL.

This probably has something to do with my Plurality?

Beware those who will do Anything to avoid feeling shame, especially if the shame they should be feeling is healthy for them.

A reminder that Unicorn Riot has been doing excellent on-the-ground journalism work in Minneapolis.

We as a civilization have grown so good at advertising, marketing, and sales that we can no longer use sales data to determine whether something has intrinsic value to the buyer or to humanity as a whole.

Kerithe gets back recently having come to grips with her nature in a weird but sensible way.

We'd wondered why she didn't really fit the pattern the rest of us have going, where we're Both traditional binary things at the same time.

She was wrestling with the Fae concepts of Summer and Winter. Another Binary. She finally realized that she's a Fae of New England.

Here, Summer and Winter are nominal notions at Best, and a given Day can have some of Both in.
