“I hit and abused you because i was overwhealmed because of you”
She never outright said as much but I always assumed my mother did the same for similar reasons (considering me and all my siblings have anxiety and depression, I suspect poorly self-medicating, on her end, but I’m not one to armchair diagnose); there was just too much…vigor in the punishment for me to think it was proper formation that was at the forefront of her mind.
Have you tried biking? I like it because it’s so easy to zone out with (and easier on the knees than running).
You can buy a cheap standing bike and watch shows or read books; and, if you go outside to bike, you get the benefit of the sun and trees. If they have rentable electric bikes, those can make the exertion part easier (and, if it feels like cheating, it’s still more exercise than you’d’ve otherwise been getting; plus studies have shown that some people, with electric bikes, ride for longer periods than those who don’t because they’re having so much fun).
To be fair, it comes disabled; you have to explicitly go enable it, if you want to use it.

'Knew about the rumble; 'just did the clicks for the first time (thanks to the tip about opening my jaw).
I mean, I have to assume they meant “oppose” and just mistyped.
Understanding disability thought and theory is one of the foundations of marginalization justice but one of the most invisible such that, once you understand certain tenants, it’s impossible not to see the impact of their ideas in everything in daily life.
I mean, that’s the biggest counter-argument I’ve always seen against it. Similar to being against capital punishment: sure, you could perfectly execute (pun slightly intended) it if it was a perfect system devoid of bias and personal interest but, in the face of that lack of reality, giving that much power to the State is inadvisable on reality-based principle.
You’re assuming they wouldn’t find this agreeable to get rid of “undesirables”.
It’s the nature of conservatives to break things into simple concepts and metrics that are easy to comprehend and conceptualize because facing the nuance and complexity of reality requires work and bravery.
Weird; I mean, I know it’s anicdotal but I’m 5’6" and I’ve never had anyone so much as even mention my height (maybe when around other men when I was younger once or twice but the bulk of my friends have always been more women such that I don’t truly remember).
I guess it doesn’t really contribute to the thread but I was just genuinely surprised at such a difference of experience.
True as Hell, though.
