- YEP. Like, I did not touch on the disabled-trans-queer bit in this specific flippant post because I wanted the short version that required minimal defence and "they were LITERALLY chanting Jews will not replace us, it's not exactly AMBIGUOUS" is... fairly clear-cut. just. nope. noooooooooope. if you're going to That Kind Of Performative without thinking I am not going to trust you.
- The thing I think is funniest about this (in a fairly bleak sense) is that of course the entire fucking gratitude-exercise thing is... a repackaging of "count your blessings" in a way that isn't pious and condescending and sour. We have known this works for a really long time. We know it's important. CAN WE PLEASE STOP FUCKING IT UP SO PEOPLE HAVE TO REINVENT IT FROM SCRATCH. i.e. YES QUITE re frustration. I am incredibly lucky in that the only exposure I've had to CBT involved the psychiatrist involved going "... ye-aaaaaaaaah let's send you to a senior consultant psychologist for twenty sessions, not a junior one for six" and said psychologist proceeded to react appropriately to me going "I need a talk-therapy component to this and I categorically refuse to take any therapeutic approach the goal of which is uninstalling my triggers without working out why they're there and which bits I can safely decommission". Which. Is not typical.
- Ruby Violet are next to the big supermarket that reliably sells my favourite fruit juice, near my counsellor's place of work and on the way to/from a lot of places. The list of flavours is quite well-hidden, but the thing I jumped on yesterday was the damson & sour cream. (Because it's small batch and they have so many things on the roster there is always a different selection and usually something I haven't seen before every time I go in. IT IS A PROBLEM.) Hurrah for identifiable Correct Options. <3
- :D :D :D :D yepppp. I am currently at 4 wheelchairs (2 on loan, of which one is to be reclaimed Once We've Moved), I covet another 2, ye-e-e-e-ep. I would love to know what all she has (or, you know, nerd with you over finding photos of plausible non-Stark-ified equivalents, because I ASSUME Tony has irritated the shit out of her with prototypes much as he does everyone else...?)
- ehhhhh it was mostly A Kid Of Whom I Am Fond (where by "kid" I mean "early rather than late 20s" obv) having a Vent about how BORED they are of the conversation, and how both pronunciations are linguistically valid, rather than particularly being a Moral Argument? but also it was a "... child, you are Missing The Point spectacularly" moment.
