anyone ever done a fic secret santa? if you know the writing style of the person you're gifting the fic to--are you supposed to write something (you think is) geared toward their tastes, or write the idea/style that comes most organically to you?

How do I politely tell people that they need hobbies that don't involve the internet or activism?
Start a garden. Get into birdwatching. Join a diamond painting group. Join a book club. Learn how to embroider. Take a pottery class.
Just. Anything that doesn't involve constant arguments about theory and praxis. Interact with people who are outside of your immediate friend group. Shove your hands into some dirt. Create something just for yourself.
Do not tag this post with "okay but anything except [x hobby]" this is a household where we SUPPORT people's interests and hobbies even if we personally don't like them 🔫
Activism is meaningless without some appreciation of life beyond the fight. It's conflict for its own sake, and if there's nothing else you'll always crave more.
#me #takes up gardening #slowly realizes how shitty hoas and city laws are regarding gardening #and how badly most cities are landscaped #begins advocating for better gardening practices #takes up astronomy #starts advocating for less light pollution #takes up geology #starts advocating against cities allowing building in inappropriate locations #...#hmmm #I don't think this is what the post meant...
@tickledpink1994 I agree that it's probably what OP meant, but it really is a good demonstration of "Activism is meaningless without some appreciation of life beyond the fight." Those are things you're fighting for because they're connected to something you care about, not because "it's the right thing to do", without any connection to the problem beyond that.
Activism is not itself the motivation. It is merely the tool. Hobbies. Life. Things you Love. Those are motivators to lead your hands to the tools.

everyone be cool about my horrible vibe please
wild to have a separation anxiety fear crying attack (this is not not normal for me, no worries) after 6 months of emdr. i was so consciously aware that there was a sad, scared 5 year-old girl crying out through my eyes. absolutely wacky but important to recognize that split. there's a power in realizing it's not adult me who can't handle things. just that that girl's fear is still in control most of the time. i'm still not sure what to say to reassure her--not sure when i'll know. so i just honored her by letting her cry.
