i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said “we’re not catholic here”. now every time i’m doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.

i think one of the funniest things ever is how many rock and metal bands are just four or five identical white dudes with long brown hair parted in the middle. like they’ve gotta be cranking these dudes out in a factory at this point. they don’t even have to be in the same genre, you can find them anywhere. they’re like some kind of metal fungus.

did you let me die in your arms in the timeloop

I keep thinking about this post. Did you let me? As in did you not save me? and Did you let me? as in did you allow me the comfort of your embrace at the expense of your own pain, knowing tomorrow I would be back and fine but you’d still be feeling my blood against your skin?

Did you let me die in your arms?

@kedreeva in case you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing this one

All I can hear is: how were the time loops? did you let me die in your arms in the timeloop? Did you have fun? it seemed like it would be fun.

Damn, I share this post to be nice and you come in and wreck me when I’m having a perfectly nice Tuesday afternoon (courtesy of @kedreeva ’s tag)

My controversial Addams Family opinion is that I don’t think Fester should be depicted as badass under any circumstances whatsoever and modern adaptations should stop trying to make him cool. Yes, he’s absolutely the scariest guy in the room in terms of what he’s done and what he’s capable of, but that’s the joke: to all outward appearances he’s just an affable, kind of bumbling dude with the personality and mannerisms of that one uncle the kids think is great fun and everybody else finds slightly annoying, and it’s almost never made explicit exactly why the normies are so scared of him.

I do not want to be in writing training

I am thinking about making a passionate defense of the passive voice just to cause trouble on purpose

Look once you learn how to use the passive voice it will become clear to you why I spend half my time deliberately writing in it

Fuck it, let’s talk about it

Warning: Passive voice can be used for evil! Do not do it! Do not write sentences like “The man was shot by police.” No! Do not hide state violence in sentence structure!

You should use active voice when:

1. You introduce new information

2. You take or assign responsibility

Active voice is key for clarity when the sentence doesn’t have anything to refer back to. If you have to put “by (person, organization)” at the end of the sentence, it should have been active voice. Ex:

Our company fucked up the project and we’re sorry

NOT

Regrettably, the project was fucked up by us/on our watch/by one of our teams

But here’s why passive voice is great: because it collapses who did a thing and centers the fact that it happened. When you are referring back to something the parties already agree upon, it puts the result up front.

All project review will be completed by 18 Never 2029.

NOT

Kyle | Mark | us Arch | itects, Jim’s Construction, the Statesonia Department of Endangered Hummingbirds, the Federal Bureau of Staying the Fuck Out of It and like twelve other people will complete their reviews by 18 Never 2029.

No! Bad! The completion of the action matters, not the parties involved. And no, “The parties will complete their reviews” is absolutely not clearer, because it requires the same knowledge.

In fiction, passive vs active refocuses a sentence towards what you want the reader to pay attention to. Active:

A fog covered the city

Passive:

The city was covered by fog

Nothing wrong with either of them. It’s just what you want the reader to think about. Bonus round: the sentence feels more natural if you put the bulk of the description in the second half, so you can add more without making it impossible to follow. Active:

A fog covered the quiet, unsuspecting city as it slept

Passive:

The city was covered by a terrible, choking fog that crept through the silent streets

These are different sentences, but nothing’s wrong with either of them.

Passive voice gets a bad rap largely because even the dumbest professional development expert can ID it fairly regularly. It’s bad when it makes a sentence less clear; it’s good when it makes a sentence clearer. That’s it.

AND it can have immense humoristic potential, for the exact same reason you outlined, because passive voice reads as an attempt to dodge responsibility and misplace blame.

The man was shot (by police)” and “The project was fucked up by us” are bad in serious contexts and actual writing.

But you can have a lot of fun with things like:

My boss has been described in impolite terms.

Alice’s boss has been described in impolite terms by someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

I have been vilified, demonised, slandered, calumnied, scapegoated, lied about, written horrid pamphlets about, unlistened to, and reputationally walked all over.

The priceless crown jewels known as The Fanciest Rock Ever, insured for 100,000,000 billions and entrusted in our care by HRM the Queen of Fancyland, were found to have been misplaced this morning and have not been located at this time.

He was separated from his head.

He found himself divorced from.

Useful friends in such cases: euphemisms, unexpected verbs, grammatically questionable sentence constructions, and obfuscation of the responsible party when it is glaringly obvious to the audience that there should be one or even who it is, etc., etc.

girl what 😭

how old must we be before we are allowed to think about sex, i can never remember, they keep moving the goal posts.

We’re never allowed to think ab sex sorry. Teen years are hormonal but being horny before 18 is a sin. When you’re horny and 18-25 its cringe. When you’re horny 25-35 “you should get a partner and stop being openly horny.” When you’re horny 35-45 that’s weird because you’re “kinda old.” When you’re horny 45-55 you’re a creep. And when you’re horny 55+ you’re an old person who can’t and shouldn’t be horny. This is how they think. Sex bad, basically. Thinking about sex is bad. Wanting sex is bad. Anything even mildly related to sex or sexuality is bad.

I think any reasonable perspective on mental illness needs to include the fact that it can make you really fucking unpleasant to be around, and honestly it would be kind of odd if that wasn’t the case.

can also make you believe you’re really unpleasant to be around when you’re actually not, just to keep things interesting.

schizopositivity:

If you don’t judge people for saying “sorry ahdh brain” in public, then don’t judge people for saying “sorry schizophrenia brain” in public

If you correct people when they misuse the term “ocd” then you need to correct people when they misuse the terms “psychotic”, “delusional”, “hallucinating” and “schizophrenic”

If you don’t stare, laugh at or fear a stranger in public flapping their hands, then you need to do the same for a stranger in public talking to someone who isn’t actually there.

If you give a trigger warning to sensitive topics then you need to give a trigger warning to unreality and false information as a prank.

If you want to normalize medication like antidepressants you also need to normalize medications like antipsychotics.

If you don’t like people without your disorder joking about it online and report it as harassment, then you need to do the same for the tons of nonschizophrenics making “schizoposting” memes to make fun of us.

Just please include schizo-spec and psychotic acceptance into your mental illness/neurodiversity acceptance. We are part of your community whether you like it or not. We are constantly stigmatized, misrepresented and made fun of. We do what we can to help you, please return the favor.

Mental illness/neurodiversity acceptance is an ongoing action. We will get nowhere in the long run if we split the community into the “in” group and the “out” group. We could all accomplish so much if we worked together. But you need to include the “weird” people that don’t fit into your aesthetic and don’t fit the social norms.

Us psychotics and schizo-specs have been struggling for years and have been the only people fighting for ourselves while the people we plead to barely see us as human. If you are nonpsychotic and nonschizo-spec, you can help us more than you realize. Please include us and stick up for us the same way we have been including and sticking up for you.

nothing will make you think “i have got to get weirder” more than finally feeling comfortable enough around other people to admit to interests of yours that you think make you a freak and a weirdo only to realize with a combination of embarrassment and relief that you’re like a normie to them

“sicko feedback loop” is a warrior’s bond stronger and more meaningful than marriage
