Listen I expect this from people who are not very thoughtful about other things too. But then I see science communicators who pride themselves on being progressive talking so cruelly as though having NPD is a black mark on someone's soul!
Downside of having a Real Professional Main Bluesky Account for my reporting is that I have to see people I respect throwing around the word narcissist as a synonym for evil. How hard is it to realize that there is no configuration of the brain that makes someone innately worthy of hate?

Important that everyone know that Scott fischer was an extremely heterosexual man who fundraised for AIDS in the 80s because he was unconcerned with the mores of straight society and also he had the singular ability to inspire a temporary homoerotic insanity in any man who tried to describe him

It has been exactly a year since I received and immediately began reading a copy of Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer (or Jonny Krak as he is referred to in the bookstore), thereby making me a 300% more insufferable person and also irreversibly changing my life

Also for anyone wondering. YES I have a Camelot Mountaineering Inc AU in my head. Their big moneymaker mountain is Mount Graal. Kay is base camp manager and every time he has to radio gawain he gets really hopeful about gawain having frostbite on his "pretty little face"

Arthurian fandom can we just add scott fischer to the round table? Just so I can hold him and Camelot in my mind at the same time? He can be a shitty knight if need be that's fine. His true passion is trying to invent the crampon

Ignorant of such classics as "spooning is ok, forking is not" "it's the attitude not the altitude" and of course "MY BALLS!!!!"
