#let’s play: correct or incorrect quote (12/?)

There’s a lot wrong with me but at least I don’t treat a domestic violence court case as a fandom war

ABBA is special. Listen to Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) and tell me you dont feel something. You'd be lying. I could kill a man rn

Buttons and Izzy are BFFs I don’t make the rules

I need y’all to understand that cults are like addiction. Anyone has the capacity to become an addict. Your drug is out there, and given the right circumstances at the wrong time, you can end up addicted to it. The exact same is true for cults. Your cult is out there. Given the right circumstances at the wrong time, you can end up a member.

The metaphor goes even further. Addicts are still people, they deserve support and assistance. People don’t get addicted to something because they’re stupid or didn’t try hard enough. Terrible circumstances simply reached a point where being high was less painful than being sober. Nobody is immune to that.

Cult members are still people, they deserve support and assistance. People don’t get into cults because they’re stupid or didn’t look for red flags. Terrible life circumstances make one vulnerable to cult recruitment tactics, these groups are predatory, and actively seek to use from vulnerable people. Nobody is immune to that.

If you think you’re too smart or too educated to join a cult, you’ve already lost the first battle.

I wish people would stop treat all conflict ever as perpetrator vs. victim when 70% of the time its just... conflicting traits and thats literally it.

For example, I have misophonia (sensitivity to noise) and if you were to lock me in a room with someone who vocally stims there would be conflict between us. I could say nothing and just get overwhelmed, they could stop and holding themselves back they could get overwhelmed. There's not a person more deserving of accommodation, there's literally no point arguing over who is actually ableist and in the wrong here we are both literally just existing in a space but have traits that conflict.

It sucks, we both feel like shit but not every hurt or problem needs blame put on it, sure that might be easier for you mentally but it halts self reflection and makes you very annoying to deal with.

Btw this 100% counts for stuff like relationships between people who need attention and people who need a lot of space to themselves. Calling each other toxic abusers for "ghosting" or "being needy" the second someone does something wrong is dumb these aspects are just traits and the traits themselves aren't toxic you just won't communicate and find it easier to blame the other party for everything that went wrong after it inevitably doesn't work out.

Relationships between people with conflicting traits can absolutely work out you just need to be willing to make compromise from both sides and accept the way things are rather than having to put blame on someone.

it’s a good thing i don’t have access to reblog this to @staff

christianity isn’t real dude they made it up for supernatural

that’s a common misconception actually! while supernatural certainly feels like it lasted 2000 years, it really only ran for 15 years. i understand the confusion though!

Boop.

Hey yall, I wanted to make a PSA about this because it'll be useful to many of you in the United States. You might qualify for public assistance now, specifically because of rising food prices.

The federal poverty line, the biggest determining factor for public assistance, has been kept artificially low for decades because it was based on the outdated assumption that food was the primary expense for most American households. For decades now, shelter has been the larger expense, but the federal poverty limit has still been determined based on the prices of food commodities.

Because food prices have recently gone up, the federal poverty line has gone up significantly as well. This means if you were previously slightly over the income limit to qualify for public assistance such as food stamps or medicaid, you likely qualify now. I'd like to encourage everyone who thinks they might qualify to apply for these programs. The qualification cutoffs are still absurdly low, so please be assured that if you qualify for assistance, you're not taking something you don't need or deserve.

Please reblog this if you think your followers will find it useful. I haven't seen anyone talking about this, it's just something I noticed recently, so I want the info to become more public to help people who might be struggling.

when i see a familiar url: oh hey it’s blorbo from my notes

WHILE understanding that a hereditary ruling class is a fuck-stupid thing to have IRL, I have no intention of leaving off reading and writing about secondary-world nobles and/or royalty. It lets you elevate family drama to extremely weird levels and really raise the stakes on questions of obligation, tradition, inheritance, and being tied into a job you actually might fucking suck at. Feels like all my life I’ve been seeing finger-wagging about how it’s more virtuous to write about regular folks, and how dumbass fantasy fans just project themselves onto princes and princesses because they’re in denial that their ancestors did physical labor, and I’m like, “irrelevant. Sometimes you just want to see sibling rivalry escalate to stabbings”
