friendly reminder that since a lot of people have decided xmas now starts right after halloween: not everyone celebrates xmas or wants to participate.  don’t shame people for not participating in xmas traditions or blacklisting xmas. if people ask to not be wished a merry xmas, don’t wish them a merry xmas. don’t get upset if people express their frustrations with how christian normativity makes it impossible to escape this non-secular holiday for almost two months. if people want nothing to do with xmas, please just let them be.

and don’t pull the “it’s not religious it’s about FAMILY” thing either. one, it is fucking religious. two, some of us hate blood family far more than we ever hate religion.

#Christmas #venting #I can’t believe they went and conquered my fucking birthday #it was unconquered when I was growing up #I was honestly glad to have been born premature because it meant I had escaped the Christmas season #but now it’s November fucking 1st #military’s not even high-status in my culture but sometimes I’m tempted to pretend it is #so that I’ll have an excuse to yell at the advertisers #about Disrespecting Our Veterans by Usurping the Eleven Days of Remembrance #(pushing it back to November 12th wouldn’t actually help with my birthday) #(but at least it would buy a bit of time) #((this post came up on my dash while there was a Christmas ad playing on the TV Mom’s watching)) #((which may have been the deciding factor in my reblogging it))

It is categorically impossible to enjoy being unconscious. Why is this so hard to understand?

(Okay, I know, I’m being uncharitable. I suppose it’s possible for people to enjoy having been unconscious or knowing that you will be unconscious. Just, why everyone?)

“There’s more to life than just what science covers, you know! Like this emotion you don’t experience! Or this other emotion you don’t experience!”

#oh look an original post #based on a conversation I had this afternoon #though that particular instance didn’t mention romance #he just said stuff that was obviously dancing around ‘religion’ while maintaining plausible deniability #(he’s Catholic and he thinks I’m Jewish) #((*don’t* start in on not having to be capable of awe to be Jewish)) #((you don’t get to decide that Judaism should be important to me)) #(anyway that’s probably why he thought he ought to be super vague about it) #(because Christian normativity and/or supremacy is insulting) #(and implying that the best parts of life are things I’m not capable of is…not? somehow?)
