I often talk about reality checking and going along with it when helping someone deal with delusions, but I felt as if I didn’t really make it clear to what I meant when I said it.
Recently I saw a post similar to “how to sneakily give your delusional friend a reality check when they told you not to” and honestly, that’ll just make us lose trust for you. Because we can tell when you do that.
i think its worth saying that “adding to the delusion/trying to send them deeper into the delusion” isnt always as malicious as it sounds, “adding to the delusion” can mean attempting to comfort them but inadvertently creating more layers of it (ie “youll be safe if you keep your door shut” “they cant hurt you because im protecting you”, etc).
even if your intentions are good and it temporarily makes them feel safer, youre just adding another layer to it, and it will just become more difficult for them to overcome later on
They were denied food, water, all necessities and access to any legal representation. They endured some of the most horrific forms of torture and abuse, one man says that they were stripped naked and then urinated by children. One man was asked if he was thirsty and then had boiling water thrown on him. Israel did not allow any humanitarian aid to enter the facilities, so the abuse and torture was allowed to continue without intervention.
Hundreds were “released” by Israel and forced to walk 6km back to Gaza while it was actively being bombed and undergoing a ground invasion. The actual number of people held/released/killed is still unclear and the workers have said that they feel failed by the world.
What those labourers have undergone is the complete opposite to the testimonial of the hostage Hamas had released, who said she was treated fairly and received food, shelter and medical attention and was told that she would not be harmed.
To read those labourers stories and still call any of this Israel’s right to defend itself from Hamas is genuinely horrifying and truly ignorant.
remember how i said israel has to expressly permit any entry or exit even through egypt's border with gaza? and that this has always been the case and why gaza is considered an 'open air prison?'
israel is now not allowing irish or brazilian citizens in gaza waiting at the border because their countries called for a ceasefire. it is effectively holding them hostage in gaza as it bombs them. insofar it has bombed the rafah border with egypt five times, and bombed injured evacuees in ambulances en route to the border too.
rogue state, terrorist country, accountable to no one and immune to consequences. israel continues to make a mockery of international law.
No more apologizing for being horny on main. No more horny jail. We’re horny prison abolitionists. No gods, no masters! Wait. Okay maybe a few masters. Alright but no bars will hold us! No whips and chains will — fuck, hang on, let me start again.
I think it'd be hilarious if Pavitr was unintentionally savage when he first met Hobie.

Bonus:
"there are only two sexes, it's literally third grade biology!" and pronouns are taught in kindergarten and you dont seem to understand those either
ok its literally this
this is why, when someone tells me "there are only two sexes, it's basic biology!" my favorite response is to ask "what, you never made it to advanced biology?" like don't load the gun and then hand it to me lmao
you. yes. you get it
3,195 Children Killed in Three Weeks in Gaza Surpasses Annual Number of Children Killed in Conflict Zones since 2019, according to nonprofit organization 'Save The Children'
Children have the right to play, to smile and learn and grow in safety. To force them to suffer anything less is a crime against all humankind.
