Mark F***king Zuckerberg Is Not Your Friend by Cat Valente.

Well, it’s pretty fucking weird how the launch of Threads, which is ostensibly, you know, a company and a profit-generating service, almost immediately did a sickening costume reveal and became Mark fucking Zuckerberg’s Redemption/Woobiefication tour, and only like four non-Nazi people and one of their alt accounts are pushing back on that because everyone rushed to join this thing with a smile on their lips and a song in their heart a big anime heart-eyes for the guy we all knew was Noonian Soong’s first janky and obviously evil Build-a-Bloke workshop project three weeks ago.

Seriously, have we all lost our entire screaming minds?

The Accidental Warlord And His Pack by inexplicifics is what I have been reading this last week while my mental health was being anxious and weirder than usual. What started off as a The Witcher kinkmeme fill turned into a sprawling tale of fixing generational trauma through honesty, love, and creatively applied porn.

The Anatomy of Trust by Brene Brown on Oprah's SuperSoul Sessions, which I am supposed to watch and talk over with Ghost for counseling.

The Five Neurodivergent Love Locutions: infodumping, parallel play, support swapping, Please Crush My Soul Back Into My Body, and "I found this cool rock/button/leaf/etc and thought you would like it". Which is a cool thing I found while looking up the five apology languages, and whether they have neurodiverse-specific corollaries.

The Internal Family Systems model of human psychology. You know how we all have different parts of ourselves that like to argue back and forth over best courses of action and whether we want one or the other of two incompatible things more? Now there's a name for that!
