Ok I clicked on her wiki and I have to say, queen shit right here
Highlighted section of Stephanie Booth’s Wikipedia: after she was outed “[she] told employees and the press that she had caught a tropical disease to which the only cure was to have hormone injections and become a woman, or she would die. However, the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London stated "We can't think of a single disease requiring such treatment."

We have got to create some kind of regulating body on “national _________ day” observances. Constantly hearing it’s national coffee day or national siblings day or national boyfriend day and I just think some kind of permitting process is merited

Over and over, the big courageous thing you’ll be called to do in life is not grabbing a child from the path of a speeding train or whatever, but tolerate someone you know being a little bit unhappy with you

i agree with the key point here and will add to it that there IS a reward, it’s knowing you did one right thing instead of walking around plagued by the nameless shame that afflicts all men who are determined to live the most frictionless lives possible

Made myself a set of little wallet cards with an adapted version of trigger/freakout management exercises from therapy to keep in my various bags and desk drawers so I’m not remembering everything from scratch when I’m in a bad way
Mags’ hand holds five bifold wallet-sized leaflets1. STIMULUS
What literally, observably happened?

2. STORY
What do I think or fear it means? How strongly do I believe this is true?

Persistent or recurring feelings are usually secondary emotions about the story! Stories stop them from resolving.

3. FEELINGS
What are my emotions? 

4. ASK
• Is there evidence for or against this?
• What is the larger situation? What is left out? What is minimized or exaggerated?
• What is the source of this belief? Is it reliable? Does it come from experiences in a different situation?
• Am I confusing the feeling of fear with proof the danger is present? Am I trying to protect myself by mentally acting out how I'd feel if someone hurt me?
• What feelings are about the present?
What feelings are about the past or an imagined future?
Look out for: all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, discounting the positive, mind reading, labeling (I'm a loser, they are unsafe, etc.), blame or self-blame, fixating on proxy issues, wanting to control outcomes5. REFRAME
How else can I think about this? How much do I believe the first story? How much do I believe the reframed story? How am I feeling now?

Looking Beyond

Past: Is this bringing up old stuff for me?
How can I care for those feelings? Have l felt like this before? How did I get through it? What could I do the same or differently?
Present: How are my physical needs? Are there other stressors right now? What can I do to support myself, in this moment or in the bigger picture of my life?
Future: Is there something I can do to make this situation easier if it comes up again? Is there a hurt or fear I can make a plan to address?

Jean Valentine, wow
Outside the Frame


It is enough, now, anywhere,
with everyone you love there to talk to.

And to listen.
Slowly we can tell each other some things about our lives:
runs, rests, brief resolutions; falls, and lulls;
hard joyful runs, in certainty; dull, sweet
durances, human silences;
                                                        look back in at the children,
the regular, neutral flicker of their blood; pale, solemn,
long-legged animal-gods in their sleep,
growing into their lives, in their sleep.

every third Twilight Zone episode is about how if you get every single thing you want every time, it makes you go insane, to the point where it’s a punishment from The Christian Devil. They were warning us about this tweet
Tweet that says: Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

btw i think the reason i like magical sigils and worlds based around them is because magical sigils are actually real. you open up a satellite LNB and what you find is shapes wrought from metal to manipulate unseen forces. you can't tell me they're not magical sigils
picture of the inside of a satellite low-noise block downconverter (LNB), the circuit in the focal point of a satellite TV dish. this one's a rectangular metal case with inside of it a printed circuit board full of gold-plated traces. many have strange shapes you wouldn't find in other electronics. scientifically you might call them microstrip filters, but really they're nothing more than a well-understood magical rune
