A lot of sentiments I see online about "just standing up for yourself" fall apart when considering that a common consequence of "standing up for yourself" is losing a key part of your current support network. It's hard to tell someone to stop being transphobic to you when you carpool with them to work, and it'll get a lot more expensive without them. Can your budget tolerate that cost, or is it the expense that stretches you too far? It's hard to tell someone that they need to be more polite to you when they're the one who helps walk you through legalese. Can you find someone else to do it for you, or are you left floundering? It's hard to tell someone to stop being sexist to you when they're the one writing your reference letter. Do you have someone else who can be your reference, or are they the only one whose letter would be accepted?

In order to be able to stand up for yourself, you need to be able to bear the potential consequence of that person leaving. You need to either have redundancy in your network, or be able to pay for what they did for you. Safety is about more than if someone will hit you.

#and even if they don't leave there are lots of other potential consequences depending on the person you're standing up to

and that is officially 1000 IDs so far!!!

I have no idea how we managed this other than that it's pretty much all we've done today but pretty much all we've done today is identify stuff on iNat

okay actually, for reference, our current stats for this year say we've done 3,220 IDs so far.

at the end of the City Nature Challenge, I can check the number again, subtract this from it, and find out how many we did. (I'm counting from now because we've started IDing from the places where the challenge has already started)

we weren't going to sat a goal, but I feel like it'd be fun to see how many people think we can do, so here's a poll with numbers that feel sort of maybe reasonable based on what I know we can do while hyperfixating on identifying.

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #inaturalist #city nature challenge #city nature challenge 2024 #I actually really enjoy identifying stuff but normally we're like ''okay I should go do something else too though'' #but we've kind of decided the City Nature Challenge is a free excuse to spend as much time as we want just IDing stuff on there

What if like there was a secret society of bugs and the mob was called the mothia and it’s leader was called the moth father and it’s members were called the mothioso

🍬 decided to order takeout and Lucy was like "hey babe, listen, order a korma with coconut rice. just trust me on this. you can thank me later" so he did and it turns out this is what he keeps randomly craving and not being able to figure out what he wants and he's having the time of his life

#personal #thoughts #🦋 post #food mention #happy posting #he tried some and just immediately was like ''holy shit this is one of the best things I've ever tasted'' #Lucy did try to tell him before that this was probably what he was craving but he's been trying stuff the system's never had before #and I don't think it occurred to him that even though other people in the system had tried it he hadn't and didn't know what it tastes like #it is always fun when people who've been in the system recommend stuff to newer alters who haven't tried it yet and end up really liking it
