The fight is with your inner demons, the external triggers are an indication that they exist.

Just thinkin' again about that time in the 19th century when gas lighting was first coming into vogue, and they had OPEN JETS OF FLAME EVERYWHERE.

Big huge open flame above the booth in a tavern! What could possibly go wrong??

This one at least has a glass shade, but a jet of flame deliberately left uncovered for convenience?

Nooooo!! My stupid whiskers!!!!! 😭🔥

it hurts for people to go "i am not gaslighting, i am correct, you are (likely) mislead and confused" and not realize that you do sound like you are gaslighting. if you are correct, at least acknowledge you sound like you are gaslighting people. aaaaa

anyway fuck anti endos-

Adding to why this is gaslighting: it's specifically making people question their own memories and reality.

The result of repeating over and again that "if you're a system, you have to be traumatized" is making people believe that they have trauma they simply can't remember.

And sure, in some cases, this may be true. But even in those scenarios, this can push people to seek out traumatic memories long before they're ready to handle them and setback progress they make.

Another narrative that's popularized in these circles is that some people just don't think their trauma is "bad enough," which runs into the same issues. It's saying, "hey, you know those memories you didn't think were that bad, they were actually traumatizing and you should immediately recontextualize those with that in mind." And this is always mixed with an anything can be traumatic ideology which is true, but shouldn't be pushed onto other people to try to convince them their memories are traumatic.

Going off on a bit of a tangent...

I've seen so many posts listing things that can be traumatic to a child... and while I agree that things like parents arguing can be traumatic and that it's a valid form of trauma, everyone's parents argue at some points in their childhood. I don't think there's a single person on the planet whose parents have never ever argued even once.

So there's a reasonable: "it's completely valid if your parents arguing traumatized you."

And then there's the gaslighting of: "you know, if your parents ever argued, that's inherently trauma and therefore your system has secretly been traumagenic the whole time."

Anyway, yeah. Telling endogenic systems that if they're a "real" system, they must have traumatic memories they've repressed or they just don't recognize their trauma as trauma is 100% gaslighting

Throwback Thursday: Insurance map of Princeton University made by Sanborn Map Company, 1906. Among other tidbits of information offered, we learn from this that at the time Princeton employed three nightwatchmen for the campus and a janitor for every building, supplied its own electricity through the University Power Co., still had gas lighting in three buildings (Marquand Chapel, the School of Science, and the Chemical Laboratory), and owned a total of 46 fire extinguishers (but no fire hose).

I keep replaying the family traumas in my head. I hold on to dear life to these memories as they remind me these experiences were real. It was that bad. I didn't make it up. I remember.

But really, I have been relying on others to believe me. I replay them knowingly. But everyone else is in denial. I am waiting for them to wake up but they never will

I have to stop remembering. I have to stop needing them to believe myself. I need to stop being around those who deny me my reality.

On August 21st 1754 William Murdock, the Scottish engineer, was born.

The son of John Murdock, a former artillery gunner and a Millwright and tenant of Bello Mill on the estate of James Boswell in Auchinleck, William was educated until the age of ten at the Old Cumnock Kirk School before attending Auchinleck school under William Halbert, author of a highly regarded arithmetic textbook. There he excelled in mathematics.

Murdock was a brilliant Scottish engineer and inventor. He probably doesn’t get the recognition he deserves due to the work of one of his mentors, James Watt.

In 1777 he walked from his home in Ayrshire to Birmingham to follow his dream of working with and Watt and Matthew Boulton

Down south it is thought his name was anglicized to Murdoch, but I’m happy to keep it as the original for this post. He remained an employee of Boulton and Watt for ten years and later a partner of Boulton and Watt until the 1830s and his reputation as an independent inventor has tended to be obscured by the reputations of those two men and the firm they founded.

The invention for which Murdock is best known is the use of coal gas for lighting purposes. Several independent inquirers into the constituents of Newcastle coal had arrived at the conclusion that nearly one-third of the substance was driven off in vapor by the application of heat, and that the vapor so driven off was inflammable. But no suggestion had been made to apply this vapor for lighting purposes until Murdock took the matter in hand. Murdock tested the effects of different types of coal from all over Britain, setting up an iron retort in the back yard of his home from which a metal tube ran into the living room. On July 29th, 1792, he presided at the lighting of a gas flame within the room. It would be several years, however, before Murdock took his invention beyond this rudimentary stage.

Murdock moved to Soho in 1798, too and it was there he resumed his experiments with coal gas. He knew he still had a long way to go in devising storage methods, mantles to give effective light, and gas purification systems, as well as safety measures. Boulton and Watt took great interest in Murdock’s progress, but were reluctant to apply for patents because they were currently engaged in litigation over their steam engine patents. They finally overcame their reluctance, however, and by 1803 the Soho factory was entirely illuminated by gas. The “Soho stink,” as Murdock called the odour of the gas, was eliminated after a time and factories as well as private homes began to install the system.

Murdock’s catalogue of inventions and ideas also includes: a method of harnessing compressed air that he used to work the bells in his Birmingham home; a high-pressure steam engine that could propel shot; a cylindrical crown saw that could be used to bore steam pipes for water and cut columns out of solid blocks of stone; an iron cement, the basic formula of which is still in use today, and; a method of transmitting letters and packages through a tube exhausted by an air pump.

Murdock took little interest in developments after 1810, by which time the gas industry was in the hands of businessmen scrambling for position and setting up rival gas companies in every city. In that year Murdock became a partner in the Soho company and remained so until he retired in 1830. He died in Birmingham on November 15th, 1839, and is buried near his former employers and mentors, Boulton and Watt.

Okay....I have been listening to this k-pop group called OnlyOneOf. They are just amazing!!!

It's a shame that they are so underrated. They are just bunch of talented men that need a lot of recognition. They have got some unique, mature concepts. Just thought of attaching links of few of their songs here.

Here's a program note for you, buddy!

I can show you what toilet you need to shit in, but I can't force you to shit in it. I can show you the door, you have to be the one to use it. And the same goes with You can lead a horse to water, but you can't force him to drink the water. I am so sick and tired of people think that I can hold their hand sometimes to support some sort've leverage over what ever is going on. You gotta take me out of your illustration and figure out what you really want out for your life and not just regurgitate over everything. No one in this world has time for the constant gas lighting, or the bigotry.
