There are JCBs making mating calls in my back yard

Insert 'this is fine' mlem or something here to own tastes

DV, Abuse 

@kitsch@witches.town Don't feel you have to delete just because I disagree with it.

You have permission to boost if you want to, but no pressure to either.

DV, Abuse 

@kitsch@witches.town I don't want to.. Pour bitter in the sweet here. But it's.. Saccharine, from where I'm standing. It can be used to disguise a lot of nasty flavours if you take it as an everyday mindset.

Assuming bad-faith all the time is bad. But so is assuming good-faith all the time.

Everyone is doing their best. Sometimes they're doing their best to hurt you, to exploit you, to silence you. Other times it's not.

Discerning that difference is vital, &.. There are no easy heuristics.

DV, Abuse 

@kitsch@witches.town I think this post is disingenuous.. It extrapolates out dangerously from "As a counselor, always assume that your clients, who are ongoing victims or survivors of domestic abuse, are doing their best"

to

"Always assume everyone is doing their best"

By this their abusers are 'just doing their best', too.

I've had that (*exact*) reasoning used against me, by past abusers, & their friends and colleagues who didn't want to see.

It's good advice- For a counselor, in a session.

Dealing with Internalised Ablism 

Standing up and asserting your rights/needs as valid, and not backing down from that, is a really quick way of getting institutionally branded as Unreasonable, because..

All the self-love in the world can't convince the people in charge to take us seriously, and arguing with them just gets all this.. Ablist poison seeped back into our system that we gotta process on top of all the conflict. It's.. Exhausting.

Dealing with Internalised Ablism 

Trying to remind myself that my needs are not unreasonable because they don't fit abled expectations, that I'm not 'overreacting' to stimuli when I get sensory overloads, that I can't just brute-force through it. -.-

I wish I could, but.. It doesn't work that way. I wish I could convince anyone in abled society to actually help me or believe me. But.. The ones with power all act like I'm just overreacting.. Others seem to genuinely empathise but can't help.

Revengeance Spoilers 

I want the scene of MGR where Monsoon is doing his Selfish Gene Cliff Notes speech and mispronouncing 'memes' over & over

And that's what finally tips Raiden over the edge into full-on-rage

M: "Don't you see, Jack? It's all about the meh-mays. Our behavior, our wants, our desires.. Our civilisation. All meh-mays."
R: 😕​
M: "We're all just carriers of a virus, spreading the meh-mays, Jack."
R: 😠​
M: "So what drives you? What meh-mays are you fighting for?"
R: ...
😑

Aha, they have been defeated! Through a means I already forgot. I think maybe app settings. Which is weird cuz I'm on a browser window. But mission complete.

I'm kinda dopey-tired, but groceries are coming soon-ish.

I'm still so not used to the dropdown orange boxes..

I kinda wanna shoo them away. I should see if that's a preference.

hi-woo!

Still don't have an avatar.. Humf. People will start thinking of me as a very pale emoji at this rate.

First attempt at a back flange for this jacket toile. Happy with how this turned out, doubly so given I couldn't find a tutorial for how to do one and had to wing it. Think I'll add a bit of length, but it depends on how I take in/out the rest of the garment during fitting (a few last stitches to make, some basic-cheap interfacing to give approximate shape for fitting, etc)

But the principle is sound and dang it looks suave even if the rest of the toile isn't finished yet.
