i am going to hell because i'm smoking weed and eating fruity pebbles while watching a live stream of pascha services
like, i'm not a christian anymore. i know the plan was that i'd be raised both roman catholic and orthodox and choose when i grew up and i chose neither but i still watch pascha services because it's always been such a huge part of my life
there aren't a super lot of orthodox christians these days and it's definitely a different culture in terms of how you live every single day, so once a year i like to visit home, you know?
and i feel very close to my grandfather because of his role in the church and specifically our bond through the church
he was very serious about winning my soul for the "true" church 😂

So, I had this whole bridge burning post all written up, with a bunch of horrible shit I know within the romance genre. I was gonna put it on the blog. But then I was like...
I've got too much good stuff going on to throw those bad vibes in this week!
Like, this always happens. I always have something really cool coming up and then something else will happen and I'll allow that to bury my awesome stuff!
I'm torn between doing a thread on the stuff on my mind and not doing it because my hands hurt. But if I don't thread about it, I'm gonna be pissed when I can't remember it later. So. Here we go.
Let's talk about how autism helps people spot manipulation.
One of the things I feel ABA robbed me of for a long time was the ability to tell when someone really was "bad" or "mean" or if they were "good" and I was just overreacting.
As a result, for years, I walked around giving people the benefit of the doubt on EVERYTHING. Did that girl just spit ice cream in my hair and slap me? What about MY behavior caused that? Because I know from therapy that people aren't supposed to do that.
this dude has been making sexually degrading remarks to me. FYI if you wanna block/report
i realize he's got a much smaller following than i do but sexual harassment is still sexual harassment, even if it doesn't particularly bother me because it's so lazy as to be obtuse.
reporting won't do anything but you could block yet another liberal man who needs to insultingly mansplain and then make reference to fucking yourself with produce because your screen name means you're a whore
i don't care if you have 2 followers. if you do that shit, i'm calling you out
hot tip for memoir writers: if you're not comfortable having your life scrutinized, don't publish it yet
too many memoir writers view writing the book as therapy or catharsis. you're too fucking close to it and you're gonna destroy yourself when people start dissecting your coping mechanism.
like, i'm sorry if that sounds harsh but it's time for tough love jen to tell you not to destroy your recovery process because someone told you it would make a good book
