Dawn Dreams

Weeeeee

It's like the world just found out they've been keeping an Irish man in a concentration camp there and he told the world they're being tortured, going hungry, and fear for their lives. Oh, and the guards are killing people.

When you let someone else define reality, you begin to devalue your own.
When you devalue your own reality, your nervous system automatically devalues the reality of anyone who mirrors, supports, or aligns with you.

Deservedness is eugenic logic.

Scapegoating is the enforcement mechanism of conditional worth.

If you are asking people to be transparent and cite their AI use, and also saying all AI use is morally bad, then you are saying "confess all your sins so we can punish you!"

Your body's impulses were never the problem. Fighting yourself and exiling parts of yourself is where problems begin.

People protect themselves from seeing harm by reorganizing reality

I was grateful it was raining today, as it washed away my tears as I walked.

Humans are sense-making systems before they are meaning-making systems.

The split is what happens when the symbolic self stops listening to the felt self and begins enforcing reality instead of experiencing it.

When someone insists that you owe loyalty, closeness, or participation in a relationship that actively degrades you, they are not being neutral. They are not being “family-minded.” They are not being “forgiving,” “diplomatic,” or “conflict-averse.”

They are participating in the degradation.

love is possible without suffering

autonomy is possible without punishment

responsibility is possible without domination

belonging is possible without erasure

safety is possible without silence

I was taught I was entitled to inherit the master's house if I would just shut up.

When narrative becomes the authority, it can suppress the body’s truth.

Our world is eating children's autonomy, causing them to starve emotionally. By our world, I mean supremacy culture.

White supremacy is a victimhood pyramid scheme with the biggest victim winning "most innocent person" and claiming moral rightousness on how everyone else owes them or deserves punishment because they aren't as deserving due to their lack of innocence . It's a victimhood competition.

Currently reading DesCartes Error - published 1991. It's making me realize that this word, and people of his time, is why we understand ADHD and executive functioning so well now. People on tiktok have these conversations like they drink water, but it was once intensive neuropsychological research.

Behold my latest keyboard, the JuggleKeyboard!

Just click the letters as they're juggled, it's an easy* way to type.

* it's not easy

healing white culture means re-learning orientation through our bodies and communities, rather than outsourcing it to systems that thrive on disorientation.

In this culture, even power is victimhood in disguise. Bravado is just the mask shame wears.

Watching the world turn into Rhinoceroses.

Antonio Damasio's book Feeling and Knowing makes my hair stand on end. First chapter truth bomb: there is no consciousness without sensation.

I exist.

I take up space.

I have a voice.

I have opinions.

I am a person.

In this book, Coercive Control, Stark constantly compares hostages to women in coercive control, saying hostages have it easier than the women. Hostages have hope that they will be free one day, everyone agrees on the reality that they are captive and they are seen as courageous if they escape.

Here's a photo of my dad for Father's day.

Love without respect is possession.
Closeness without truth is control.

focus on the world that responds when you speak. The one where dignity isn’t a debate.

Yunno, if all the ethically minded people refuse to use AI because it's going to be used for unethical reasons, then it's pretty certain that it will be only used for unethical reasons because all the people who have conscientious behaviour will be weeded out.

People are blaming robots for colluding with delusions instead of recognizing our society is so fractured and lonely that these people have no one to confirm reality with.
