With my huge hearing loss, I've noticed something.
Really often, when I don't hear and ask people to repeat, they'll tell me stuff like "oh no, that wasn't important" instead of just saying it once again. They may even be mad at me.
It makes me feel really excluded, so I don't dare asking them to repeat anything anymore. I act like I hear most of what they say, smile when they do and that's it...
Please, don't be mean. We're not trying to bother you, we just want to understand what you say.

every night once i get bean settled down in bed and it's time to turn off Mama Mode and rest i just get this fucking gigantic mood crash
like I used to really really appreciate having that little bit of free time in the evenings but lately it just seems to end up with me sitting here thinking about Bad Shit tm
cleaned-up map version!
we set it in the Cultist Simulator universe so a lot of the place names/notes are references to that
Leave your phone at home sometimes. Maybe turn it off.
Make it a normal thing that you do and that other people might do.
If your country is becoming unsafe for LGBT people or for the kind of protesting that's usually allowed in liberal democracies, then it's important that it be completely normal that someone might go to the shops or the cinema or out for a picnic without their phone.
Do it in solidarity, even if news don't personally effect you. /Especially/ if they don't effect you.
noooo i'm a GOOD cishet white man i'm not being sexist, it's just that women are bad and cringe and too emotional amirite
anyway, i think the main takeaway here is that i should really just delete reddit
like i'm not talking about discussing white women's specific place within white supremacy, that shit is totally valid & a good conversation that needs to continue happening (probably still not a conversation that white men, or white anyone, needs to be dominating, but valid)
i mean like when they're literally like "haha women be shopping. wife bad" but then they put "white" in there at the last minute like it's a get-out-of-jail-free card for doing a misogyny
mild cis nonsense
they weren't even saying it, disdainfully or anything, more just like trans people are some sort of rare exotic bird that you might occasionally catch a glimpse of if you're lucky
mild cis nonsense
the temptation to rip off my mask and hiss "NOW YOU HAVE" was so strong
maybe queer joy is understandably in short supply right now, I will also gladly accept pet pictures or news about anything good going on with y'all
poking at my tiny little website a bit and looking around for new templates, and realising that any kind of web design that looks like it was done later than like, 2005 just gives me an immediate "ugh glossy corporate bullshit" reaction
if it doesn't look like it was made in 1998 by a teenager who doesn't know what html stands for i'm not interested
