  1. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    We derive a certain satisfaction from being sinned against. It is not only that a grievance adds content to our lives, but also that it makes less monstrous the flame of malice which like a vigil light flickers in the dimness of our souls.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 120 (1955)

  2. CW: CE: Israeli Palestinitan Conflict, psychology speculation

    Random Thought on the #IsraeliPalestineConflict...

    People with #trauma, especially from being targeted by groups they can stereotype, can sometimes be driven to victimize others based on that trauma. This can be seen with #JKRowling's aggression towards everyone with a Y-Chromosome, and specific targeting of Trans people: she was traumatized by someone with a Y chromosome in a women's space, so her trauma drives her to fight anyone she relates with that.

    I was reading that some #Israeli math books alter the plus sign to avoid looking like a cross, a symbol associated with an undesirable-group, and thinking about the trauma #Jews who fled there may have from #Christians, it made me wonder... What if what the #IsraeliGovernment does, especially the targeting of Christians (#Palestinians, #Bethlehem, etc) is a response to the generational trauma of #antisemitism / #victimization during the #holocaust and for centuries before?

  3. CW: song about sexual assault and victimisation

    Just listened to a Dutch song that popped up on my Spotify #ReleaseRadar. Wasn't really paying much attention to it till the lyrics near the end made me stop and listen closer, as the subject is quite chilling. When I came home I looked up the song on YouTube and listened to it again, this time with my undivided attention and lyrics:
