no, see, it’s nominally a ‘your mom’ joke, but the punch line is that even she made an exception for me, because im (depending on how SFW and sentimental you want to make it) unlovable/unfuckable.
and those last two are very different questions with very different answers.
there’s a list. the stuff that wouldn’t dox me and isn’t either a crime, or likely to be a crime pretty soon, or effectively a crime even if there’s never been a law against it?
I’ve saved a few peoples lives. or played a substantial role I’m not confident someone else would and could have in doing so.
I’ve done a lot of hospice. a few of them recovered, which I’m proud of despite it absolutely not being my doing. I think it’s kind of reflexive, which is also something I’m pretty proud of.
I’m a really fucking good cook.
my concept of love is I think a lot less fucked by existing power structures than most, and given where I come from; I think putting anything that wasn’t 99% abuse together was pretty long odds.
I have a pretty good sense of humor, and I’m a pretty good writer when I have my shit remotely together.
I’m ridiculously hard to kill. I have healed from a lot of stuff that would make most people give up. or at least survived it, in the case of some of the emotional shit. I can’t really talk about a lot of stuff I’ve been through with people, or show too much skin, or people get really upset and can’t look at me. mixed feelings on that one, but pride’s in there.
Excellent. Thanks for answering. This was really worth asking and I think that there’s ocean of good in you. I’m intrigued by “likely to become a crime pretty soon” but don’t feel you have to elaborate.
well, if you want an easy example: just go hand food to someone who looks like they don’t have a house. I don’t know if it’s illegal yet, but it will be soon.
ocean of good
uh, so, have you ever actually looked at some of the stuff in the ocean? both the absolute fucking nightmare creatures, and the absolute fucking nightmare chemicals? oceans are not good places. don’t go in them. they do not love you.

Yeah, I get that, but you’re avoiding the question: what are you proud of, for yourself?

…maybe accurate, but not sure it’s praise.
(I meant it as a compliment.)
Dystopian.
In the UK, former Prime Minister Liz “crash the economy within 40 days off taking office” Truss proposed criminalising giving homeless people a tent.
I was appalled.
It didn’t get passed, partly because her party got rid of her faster than you can say “unpopular economic mismanagement”, thank goodness.
The more people that treat homeless people as valuable human beings the better the world is.
it turns out a lot of things are dystopian when you live in a dystopia. whod’a thunk it?
Very true.
It’s been genuinely good to talk. All the best for next week.
