Now, whenever a troll posts something online, clearly trying to get under my skin, I remind myself of that guy at the ren faire losing his mind with self-imposed anger, and I just block the troll. Any urge I might have had to respond disappears in a satisfying cloud of effortless justice.

Years ago, my wife and I were at a renaissance faire and a vendor started heckling us as we were walking by. Somehow, my wife hadn't noticed, so I just redirected and ignored him. He started yelling louder and eventually he got so upset that he was screaming, “I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME ASSHOLE”

one thing i started noticing after working on cptsd healing is how much i hold my breath, clench my teeth, tense up my shoulders and back and face muscles

i do all these with no awareness & it contributed to chronic pain

once we began to be more aware of our bodies,we can work on the pain

In case anyone is worried about the kids:

My thirteen year old has been devastated in advance by the TikTok ban, but was not fooled or lulled for one second by the "reprieve." His cohort already moved to Twitch and Bluesky.

Spent the morning shoveling snow with my kid. We talked about how--because the world is increasingly stupid, unkind, and selfish--we need to work hard at being curious, kind, and helpful to others. Even if we're just starting with shoveling the walk for our community.

Our three-month-old thinks that his fists are the best thing ever. He loves to shove them in his mouth and suck on them.

Today I showed him his feet while changing him and he gave me a look like “I have fists down there too?!”

if you are neurodivergent, it is so important to find other people you feel psychologically safe around, to unmask, to brain-dump special interests, to let them know when you feel tired and/or overstimulated, and who understand the importance of clear, considerate, direct communication

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

It’s good to make TikToks about the FTC because it reminds you that a whole lot of people have no idea how the fuck anything works.

As a DV educator I've been trying to explain how our relationship to the gov is so similar to abusive relationships with each other. This is by design. We don't learn abuse on our own, it funnels down from the systems we live and is another way we hurt each other in the name of the system we ignore

Withholding something to create fear, then giving it back, is a classic abuse pattern. When they see it works, they'll do it again. If they see where you go and what you do when hurt, it'll be used to cut you off from those options next time. Just remember that, and create safety plans now.

The cycle of abuse: we are currently headed back to the tension building phase. The longer abuse goes on, the less time is spent in "calm". When victims start to anticipate the cycle, the abuse increases in intensity and rapidity. We are there.

This guy had been on TikTok for 5 years but had never posted. Yesterday, he posted this absolutely perfect song, and I cant stop listening. His band is Truce Canyon, and they are on all the music platforms (including Bandcamp). The full video was almost 5 minutes. I can only upload 1 min here.
