My brother was diagnosed with depression years before I was, and because of that he started therapy years before I did.
I still remember when I was a young teen and he was playing a Nirvana song and he stopped it at this one line: “I miss the comfort of being sad”
He told me that when you start to get better, there’s a part of you that misses being sad and that if you start feeling that way you have to be extra extra aware and careful because if you indulge the feeling you’ll go down a self-destructive spiral
And even though that was years and years ago, I think about it all the time. Especially when I’m reading discourse on the idea of getting so attached to mental illness as an identity that you don’t want to improve things because you feel safe in it and don’t know who you are without it
I always think of that line “I miss the comfort of being sad” and my brother’s warning
can’t wait for the final boss battle of duolingo when you fight the 50 foot owl armed with nothing but your wits, a sword, and your shaky grasp of verb conjugations
oh my god… duel lingo
Die Eule habe hat Hunger
True to form, I actually messed up the verb conjugation when I first put the words on this. XD
ive been writing this program to keep track of when you do day to day tasks like doing dishes/laundry. anyways my streak of “bugs in things i write manifesting as infinite loops of unexpectedly poignant user prompts” continues
For some reason my brain can’t reconcile that this song exists outside of the game. Every note of this is branded on my subconscious. I’ve listened to this song more than I’ve listened to my own voice and yet it still manages to calm my body better than an anesthetic. I’m astral projecting - my thumbs are typing but my soul is playing Skyrim.
but I would like to point out this is not just about this money, this is not just about the wall, this shutdown and this protesting against the wall is a statement against trump’s white supremacy.
The reason people are fighting it is because the fear-mongering alone is damaging to relations between people. It’s a statement of hate, and to reduce it to just a cost thing is to ignore why trump wants the wall in the first place
this isn’t representative of the people, this is a representation of the white supremacists that govern our country despite not winning the people’s vote.
they continue to make laws and structures that terrorize people
In fact, pretty much everything the GOP does is against the will of the people.
Most Americans support Obamacare, yet the GOP has repeatedly tried to overturn it.
Most support Net Neutrality, yet the GOP overturned it.
Even most gun owners believe we need better gun control regulations and don’t belong to the NRA, yet the GOP is busy sucking the NRA’s collective dicks.
When polled, most Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of most of the social welfare programs that the GOP devotes their time to trying to abolish.
Most support Mueller’s investigation, yet we all know how Trump and co. feel about that shit.
Most were opposed to the tax cuts and think we should do something about global warming.
And like you said, most Americans don’t want Trump’s fucking wall and want him to stop holding the country hostage to get it. Numerous news articles from people ACTUALLY living in these so-called besieged border towns have basically said we don’t want this wall nor do we need this wall.
If any of you were holding onto the idea that we live in a democracy, you should really let go of it.
This is why Pelosi knows she can’t cave in at any cost. If Trump wins this, it sets a precedent that any president, no matter which party, will use to hold the country hostage in order to get their way. It has to end here or it will never end.
