Hermestoldmeurgay - Dont Look At Me Like That

Something that’s really sad to me is that there is basically no online Roma community anymore

Bbc used to have a message board for Romany teens, and they still do, but no one has used it since 2005, and those teens that were on it will be adults now, and plenty with their own kids now

Rumblr used to be an active, thriving space, but most people left, and now there’s only a few of us

The Romani Reddit imploded on itself and now there isn’t one

The only things I can thing of are the tik tok communities, which aren’t close knit and are super toxic from what I’ve seen and heard, and the discord, which it’s hard to track down a link for

i cannot keep having the same conversations--

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

absolutely insane that i have the Forgetting Things brain disorder and people will still be appalled that i forgot something

😁

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

dont fucking talk to me if ur gonna act like mental illness is fucking cute or sexy or adorable or quirky or what the fuck ever when its only ADHD and autism and depression and anxiety and learning disabilities but not when its addiction or narcissism or schizophrenia or psychosis or bipolar depression or borderline personality or dissociative identity or complex post traumatic stress - WE'RE ALL FUCKING SICK BRUV ITS ALL ILLNESS. stop fucking romanticizing and infantilizing people with real fucking disorders that fuck up our lives while ur just skipping through life without any obstacles besides the one the system puts in that u dont even fucking notice bc ur privileged to live life as fucking able person.

rant

Tw ableism/sanism, lotsa cursin, derogatory terms

if you say you’re a leftist n then call yourself an empath or say the right lacks empathy or in any way equate empathy to morality, you’re not a fuckin leftist n I don’t fuckin trust you

empathy doesn’t fuckin equal morality. Never has never will. Bein leftist means fightin against ableism, not contributin to it you fuckin morons. People with hypoempathy deserve just as much respect n compassion as all other fuckin people. We’re not bad or evil or abusive or even right wing for not havin empathy. We’re fuckin people first n foremost.

if you claim to be leftist n then throw mentally ill people under the bus, fuck you. I hope you fall down the fuckin stairs you hypocritical shit. If you use words like narcissist or sociopath or psychopath or schizophrenic to describe someone bein a piece of shit, you’re awful. You’re legitimately a piece of shit if you do that. NPD, ASPD, n schizophrenia are actual fuckin mental illnesses that actual fuckin people actually fuckin have. They’re the people you claim to fight for when you say you fight ableism. Yet you throw em under the bus the fuckin second you see behaviour you disagree with. Legitimately fuck you

mentally ill people deserve better. Especially from people who claim to fight for their rights and autonomy
