  1. DRESSED TO KILL

    I used to look quite comically dishevelled.

    There is no need to dress that up.

    After the stroke, and after years in an obese body, I more or less gave up trying to dress properly. I wore badly fitting everything. Clothes were not helping. They were joining the argument against me.

    They seemed to say, “This body cannot be dressed.”

    So I stopped expecting much.

    Going out in public then did not feel like being unnoticed. It felt more like being quietly assessed, quickly dismissed, or politely avoided.

    A room full of people can feel like a row of silent witnesses when you already feel wrong inside your own clothes.

    Then, slowly, something changed.

    Fasting took some of the heaviness out of the body.

    Breathwork changed the way I lived inside it.

    Not dramatically. Not as a project. More like a daily return.

    Breath by breath. Morning by morning. The body became less of an accusation and more of a place I could inhabit.

    And now the clothes fit.

    They sit properly. They do their job. They let me move through the room without adding commentary.

    Maybe no one is looking.

    But now that feels different.

    Not invisibility as humiliation.

    Invisibility as ease.

    Just me, dressed well enough, carrying myself differently, not needing the crowd to confirm it.

    And somewhere underneath all that, the old dishevelled version of me gets a little mercy too.

    He was not ridiculous.

    He was overloaded.

  2. Calling out lies is not being rude, it is speaking truth.

    Allowing lies is what leads a fiend to believe you are too weak to contradict them in anything.

    Allowing lies leads to war.

    Your desire to be "polite" is what allows a fiendish culture to invade and conquer- while you wait for a corrupted legal system to stage a corrupted election.

    Just saying...

  3. So Macron publicly said that Trump "maybe should not speak every day", and I think the rainbow has a brand new hue in it today.

    I can't imagine a more vicious polite insult. Leave it to the French!

  4. @jonah @Em0nM4stodon but then we would need a thank you for the thank you for the like button?

    😱 😝

    and if it's a Canadian server, it should have a sorry button.

  5. A todo esto, mi respuesta #polite ha sido un "Ui... que como entenderás es 1 de enero, no hay técnicos disponibles, solo los de guardia... ayy no parece tan importante, ya mañana (QUE ESTOY DE PUTAS VACACIONES) te lo revisa algún compañero mío" :apartyblobcat:

  6. Let’s setup a new social norm in the US if you really don’t care to know something, don’t ask. It’s only polite if you actually give a fuck ..

  7. Do you often find yourself, just being polite, saying things you don’t mean? For example, when saying good-bye to people who bore you, do you pretend to have enjoyed their company?

  8. In that same vein, is there data about the effectiveness of "Be polite" signs? (See photo.)

    How do signs affect customers and staff? Do behaviours change in a way that reduces conflict, … or that triggers or escalates conflict?

    Given recent news reports of more staff harassment, it warrants research into the effects of systemic attempts to reduce conflict, including signage.
