Speaking from experience, this culture is just as common outside the US, and outside Christianity too.

People with even halfway decent parents don’t realise how lucky they are.

I have never heard a single song about being trans that’s on ukelele. Anyone wanna help me fix that?

no antidepressants or therapists have ever been enough to heal the damage of a fucked up life

I feel this… been through several at this point, didn’t really do much for me. I’d keep trying anyway, but I don’t have access right now, so I’m just trying a bunch of stuff to see what will stick.

Right now I’m giving tonglen a shot. The hard part is getting myself to do it (hello, executive dysfunction!), but so far it seems to be helping a bit. (I recommend checking out that book either way, some interesting ideas in there)

So they could have replaced it with, like, email verification or something, but they instead stuck to the design that lets governments identify all users?

Context FROM THE FUTURE :O

I hate you for posting this (please marry me)

That last line hits like a truck.

Why am I tearing up?

Yes.

The first half of this describes my entire presence on this site pretty much exactly.

Those who can’t do, try to teach - because when you fail over and over, you learn things worth sharing. Those who can’t feel, try to touch, because you’ve learnt how badly we need it.

And one day, I pray, can’t will be couldn’t.

Dear lord. This man’s brain is something else.

Whoa.

:O

congratulations on finishing this!

i’ll hold off on posting my thoughts until i get around to actually watching the thing. (i wonder if you’ll ever see my reply 2 years from now…)
