It was a huge relief to me when I finally really got that there's no such thing as a person. Or any way you wanna express "consistent character". We're all just the sum of everything that happened to us and then we got into our heads that there's such a thing as a "true self" thanks to American sensibilities hammering hyperindividualism colored by belief in souls into us since we were kids.

Everybody is just a collection of mental situations in a trench coat. We just decided that the ones that don't allow you to work 9-to-5 and suppress all your emotions are the wrong ones to have.

People are allowed to create boundaries for themselves. Just because they set a very fucking healthy boundary of no political posts on social media, doesn't mean they can't engage politically in other ways. Probably they'll have more energy to actually take concrete action when they're not just seething in front of a screen.

If you want to have political content, go make a sub and post there. Nobody is stopping you, and nobody is obliged to engage with content they don't want to.

Everything looks so nice and soft

Thank youuu

Wish i had the thighs for them!

I do need to buy a new winter coat...

Apologies. I misread you.

I'm fond of reality though. But for me that word probably has a bit different meaning ^^;
