the best part about being a Girl Who Knows A Lot About Star Wars is that you can fuck with dudes so much. no guy has ever been able to refute my backed claim that moff tarkin canonically had sex with a stormtrooper. why? because doing so would force them to admit they've never read 'of mouse droids and men' and therefore know less about star wars than me: a girls' girl who thinks that luke skywalker and the mandalorian "are probably in an open relationship".

I think when people think of mental illness and what helps, especially with things like anxiety and depression, the treatment involves pushing yourself. Pushing yourself to get out of bed, to exercise, to take a shower, to go out in public, to order your own food from the cashier, etc.
And because the mental health movement has grown so much, people think that's the default of ALL illnesses. That the only way someone will get better is if they push themselves. That practice makes perfect. That you'll become more comfortable or strong over time the more you do something.
But what people need to realize is, with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, pushing yourself in most cases is DETRIMENTAL. Pushing yourself past your limits can lead to flare ups or further injury. That's why it's important to know your limits, how certain activities may affect your condition, and learn how to either adapt or get help to complete the activity in question.
Also, most of us are already pushing ourselves. Most of us don't have access to the help or equipment we need. Most of us live in places where we frequently encounter inaccessible obstacles. Most of us NEED to rest.
So please don't try to be our physical therapists or doctors. There are people specifically trained to help us navigate our own conditions and limitations. There are people trained to help us strengthen our body's resilience without causing flare-ups or injury. Do not tell us "it'll be good for you" or "you need the exercise" when we say something is too heavy or too far or when we say we need our mobility aid(s). Your friend with depression may need to be encouraged to get out of bed, but your friend with chronic illness definitely doesn't.
Respect our rest.

A good chunk of the half star review of eeaao on letterboxd say something hysterically funny like “just another overhyped Korean movie” or “unrelatable to me as a straight white man” but the one that takes the cake has to be “maybe I didn’t like this film because I’m reading homestuck”

While clocks in Goncharov (1973) have their own broad symbolic meaning, grandfather clocks in particular are tied to two characters: Goncharov, who averts every assassination attempt until he finally dies for the blood on his hands and the betrayals in his heart, and Ice Pick Joe, who lives through multiple implausibly dangerous fights until he dies defending Mario’s secrets.
It is clear, then that Homestuck’s God Tier grandfather clocks, and their Just/Heroic death mechanic, is directly inspired by the demises of these two characters. In this essay I will—
