God I hate the term ‘hater’ being overapplied to everything

“Oh, you aren’t going to wildly overpraise that thing or person? You have some critique for something? You must be a HATER which is basically a big old BULLY which means every REASONABLE person should ignore and ostracise you”

Orrrrr

Critique is literally the only way a standard for quality and improvement can be set????

I can’t find my damn document…

the time I’ve spent looking for it, organizing all my files in hopes of it magically appearing, I could’ve spent writing it from the start.

but I don’t want to rewrite it. I want coffee. I can’t have coffee (I’m trying to stop being addicted to caffeine).

Sometimes I just feel as though there’s a raging fire in me. I feel such a scary irrational anger towards everything and everyone that I don’t know what to do with myself. The weirdest part is that I know that it’s just “fake”, irrational, pointless, not constructive, yet I just can’t stop feeling like screaming till my lungs ache. Does this make me a raging, uncontrollable bitch? Most certainly.  Over and out

You're basic if ...

  • you do not employ intersectionality of gender, race, economy, politics, language and culture
  • you accuse another State of human rights abuses whilst ignoring your own State’s record
  • you reduce religious identity to broad categories
  • you absent the roles of power and economy in the relationship between a religion and a State
  • you divorce power from psychology, physiology, ideology and theology
  • you regard the State as a new and ‘unnatural’ phenomenon rather than as an evolved and intrinsically human institution
  • you fail to recognise 'your gaze’ on an issue - that how you perceive an issue has been shaped by multiple influences, many of which you may be unaware of
  • you underestimate the innate human drive for survival and how that motivates people to seemingly act against what you might perceive as their 'own group’ or 'best interests’
  • you look at a conflict and quickly identify the 'good guys’ and the 'bad guys’
  • your analysis is conducted entirely through the lens of one ideology
  • you absent the possibility that at any given time the information we gather to assess a situation and come to a judgement is a tiny fraction of what is actually needed to arrive at any conclusion about 'fact’ or 'truth’
  • your understanding of the historical context is colour blind and gender blind
  • your motivation in a discussion is largely shaped by defensiveness of a national identity, culture or set of values regardless of their content or impact on others
  • you assume you are right simply because of the accident of your birth, colour, gender
  • you assume you are right regardless of the accident of your birth, colour, gender
  • you are unable to 'put yourself in another person’s shoes’ and see an issue from their perspective, right or wrong
  • you frame your position in absolutist and universalising moral terms
  • you glibly label people with terms such as 'evil’, 'ungodly’, 'terrorist’
  • you don’t 'follow the money’
  • you don’t account for the corruptibility of people
  • you argue from a position of assumed superiority, legitimacy and authority
  • you fail to recognise the way fear and mortality shapes behaviour
  • YOU JUDGE OTHERS WHILST CLAIMING YOU HAVE NEVER MADE, OR WILL EVER MAKE, ANY OF THE ABOVE MISTAKES
