thank you for all the kind words. im just so fucking tired of it all.

been fighting for half a decade to try and get cptsd support. finally get a preliminary appointment and the nurse is derogatory about me wearing a mask and tells me to talk to chatgpt as a crisis therapist. what's the fucking point, man.

yeah, this suggestion is also weird to me and would still put me in an uncomfortable position because generally i really don't do anything at all--which people don't like to accept as an answer and presume it's an hyperbole... and the only things i /could/ say are often not substantial enough.

i think closed questions are ironically a good way to gauge convo. "do you [work / go on holidays / cook / see family / etc.]?" gives people a chance to say yes / no without having to give further explantion, so you know whether to ask more and engage, or skip to the next topic

opinion, even if it's silly stuff like "which of my coworkers would you fight first?". even then, everyone fucks it up, it's impossible not to, and that's okay! i think "ykw, i made an assumption and that's my bad" goes a long way, and if it spirals, they're probably not the person to befriend.

cool building and i can participate again!! i can ask about the building, can have opinions on the building, etc. same with work, i have little to contribute but i loveee hearing about workplace beef or wild days at work someone's had. and you can still include the person by asking for their --

i am far, far less hurt when someone shares their enthusiam as the crux of the conversation. a lot of the issues come when people realise they can't actually contribute to the conversation but are expected to. like, i might not want to hear about the logistics of a trip, but show me a photo of a --

because that can often go pretty hard in the other direction. but you /can/ talk about your life, and you shouldn't feel bad for doing so. sometimes you do have to pull back bc someone's uncomfortable, but that doesn't have to end the convo. as someone often on the other side of these convos,--

lol i was, but it's all good! i will just say that i totally get the specific concerns you mentioned, and honestly, i think a lot of this is just about finding a middle-ground. i don't think it's wrong to be mindful of finances / work etc. and i would be hesitant to encourage you to unlearn it all--

idk if me saying this has much worth in this context, but sometimes i find reframing things less of a daunting task than having to struggle with the ebbs and flows of unlearning. fwiw, i also love hearing people talk about their own work even if i can't, i'd much rather they do that than ask me lol

i'd much rather "do you do anything for work?" "not at the moment" "okay cool. [next topic]", because it eliminates the failure to meet assumption. or even just accepting "i can't work." without /any/ follow up questions. which is to say, it might be less unlearning and moreso reframing? --

this example is interesting to me because, as someone who is too disabled to work at all, whenever someone new hits me with "what do you do for work?" it does often put me in an inherently very uncomfortable / degrading situation, but i think it's mainly a phrasing issue, yk? --

can't post explicit art on tumblr... post got caught and taken down by reddit's filters..... god forbid a man wants to draw some cock sucking and share it with the world, goddamn.

A digital greyscale drawing of Kaidan Alenko and Emrys Shepard lounging on a sofa. They are both naked and adorned in abundant body hair. Kaidan is leaning on Shepard's lap, holding and lapping up the shaft of Shepard's leaking cock. Shepard's hand is on Kaidan's ass, eyes hooded and cheeks flushed.

Traditional pencil sketch of Jayce squatting down while holding his knees together. He is wearing a crop top, shorts, knee socks and sneakers. He is looking up at the viewer cutely.

Jayce as a child posing with a magic wand held straight up above his head. He is wearing a starry wizard hat with matching cape over top a sweater vest, shorts, knee socks, and school shoes. He is so proud of his magic.

A couple drawings from my sketchbook!
