Jumping In The Hype Train

ICE raids happening in Chicago on Tuesday January 21st. Get organized and get prepared.

"this book had no jerejean!" they were both constantly losing their minds jealous whenever the other looked at someone else for a few seconds bsffr

when e.e. cummings said “i’ll live my life if it kills me”

wassup ??

so, so deeply stuck on Andrew and Jean outside during the interview.

Andrew immediately understanding what the "history" between Jean and Grayson was

Jean promising that Grayson didn't hurt Neil because that wouldn't have been appropriate for him, and Andrew countering by asking why he implied it'd be appropriate for someone else

Andrew's "Enlighten me" to Jean's "You of all people shouldn't have to ask"

Andrew understanding the neck bandage immediately, just as Jean understood the armbands

Andrew asking if Neil killed Grayson and being completely unsurprised when Jean gave him the answer, because he already knows where Neil stands on that matter

It hurt so bad. But it was probably one of my favorite scenes in all of TGR.

That silent mutual understanding, where neither of them wanted to talk about what happened but they knew the other understood, even if they didn't like each other

Catharsis in the most brutal way. Burns on the way down but feels good anyway

I want more Andrew & Jean scenes NOW

Anyway normalize stutters, stilted speech, flat affect, monotone speech, volume control issues, nonverbal communication devices, voice modulators, speech impediments, lisps, oral deformities.

Normalize "abnormal" speech patterns. Normalize lack of eye contact, normalize ticking, normalize emphasis on different syllables. Normalize "Inappropriate" emoting, especially when it's a stress response.

Normalize verbally processing thoughts, external system communication, non- aggressive interaction with hallucinations or delusions.

Normalize Echolalia, "TV Talking", vocal stimming, parroting, "Baby talk" as a way to self soothe.

It's wild to me that people treat addiction like it's the addict's fault for having a weak character or something, and on the other side of it we have "addiction is a disease," which is an objectively better model of thinking but it's still treating addiction like it is in and of itself the problem.

Addiction isn't a disease, it's a treatment.

I'm not an addict because I came down sick with a hankering for substances, because they're fun. I was traumatized and then dropped into a society that makes survival extremely hostile. The substances are a pillow and blanket. They're a warm mug and being held tightly by a friend. They're an invitation to a seat by the fire when the storm is raging outside the doorstep.

Addicts aren't sick with addiction, we're sick with so much chronic stress and pain that we're crumbling under the weight. Many of us since we were children with no tools for coping.

It might not be healthy, it might not be safe, and in fact addiction is by definition destructive. But it's also an attempt to keep pressure on the wound. The addiction is treatment for sickness.
