The densest people on the internet are the ones who say sci fi and fantasy are are getting too political. Why can’t we go back to the good old days of The Twilight Zone, with its various episodes about mob mentality and the danger of mass paranoia that totally weren’t about the Red Scare. Or Star Wars and its genocidal empire of racially homogeneous Aryan men. Or Dune with its religious tribal peoples who live in a desert that contains the galaxy’s most valuable resource and the wars with the foreign colonizers, that was purely from Frank Herbert’s imagination. Can you imagine how much Star Trek would suck if it was packed to the brim with ham-fisted allegories of every societal issue of the 20th century. Not like all this modern ultra-political stuff, like a woman hero.

woman: i miss you like the deserts miss the rain
man: oh that’s so sweet, i–
woman: i’ve adapted to existence without you, buried everything we made together, and prolonged exposure to you would be disastrous.
also while we’re here, what is this weird trend of straight writers portraying lgbtq characters like “it was so obvious, absolutely everyone knew” like if there’s one thing i know it’s that i’m forever underestimating the ability of straight people to be completely fucking oblivious to queer people existing

• making yourself go out and do things even though you’re exhausted
• putting yourself in anxiety-inducing situations (even if you have a choice to stay out of them)
• triggering yourself
• purposefully angering someone who you know will yell at you
• entering relationships you don’t want to be in/being around people you don’t want to be around
• having sex when you don’t want to
• setting yourself punishments
• not giving yourself time
• not letting yourself spend time with the people you love & know will be good to youstop assuming that self-harm is visible and easy to notice.
PSA to straight ppl: if you’re annoyed at how much a gay person talks about how gay they are because ‘it shouldn’t matter’, then sit down, I need to explain a thing to you: it does matter. We’re raised in a culture that teaches us that being gay is a bad thing. That we are disgusting/jokes to be laughed at/wrong, etc etc. This makes it extremely hard for many of us to accept that we’re gay. So if you see a person who is constantly talking about how gay they are, that’s an extremely powerful thing, because it’s a testament to how much they’ve had to overcome to accept and love themselves and the fact that they’re gay. Don’t go saying shit like ‘ummmmm we get that you’re gay, stop talking about it.’ Like, you’re likely saying that to someone who couldn’t talk about it for a large portion of their lives. Stop.
depression after years of having it isn’t even sadness it’s just being exhausted and being allowed one (1) emotion a week and sometimes your brain is like “die” and you’re like “shut up brad”
