Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

we broke our biological-social systems evolved over millennia and gaslit ourselves into internalising modern society’s failure as personal failure
I don't think we are supposed to individually prepare ourselves 3x meals a day every day for our whole lives I think we're supposed to have community and sharing

hey chat, do we think internalising a total distrust of strangers because they might be secret bigots does good things to the psyche or no

From The Economist's polling. Americans are rapidly internalising the idea that their allies are their enemies.

Absolutely. In a way it's about emotional maturity, internalising and growing from challenges instead of lashing out at the world which many seem to do.

Oh, well have you tried internalising the macroeconomic circumstances into personal failings and negative self-talk? That’s the pro meta 👌

IIRC correctly writing is better than typing for internalising information, too.

And no, "war is never a picnic"-ass takes aren't a form of internalising that either

actually realising this and internalising it puts you head and shoulders above a legion of creepy repellent guys though, so that's a pretty massive upside

10 years into the hybrid war, 3 years into the full-scale war, and many haven’t internalised and are continuously absolved from internalising that this stopped being a regional conflict long ago
It’s closer than you think

Sometimes you have to make a point of arguing. Not to change the bigot's mind, because you won't.
You argue because you don't know who's listening, who's internalising, who's gauging their safety around you.
Make it clear that you're safe. Even if you don't know who you're being safe for.

I did tell one guy I was 5ft 14" just because he whined a bit about me wearing DM boots as it "wasn't fair". At that point you've got nothing to lose but I wish I'd bullied them harder instead of internalising the shittiness of it all, they absolutely deserved it

We’re right back to only diagnosing and supporting those kids / adults whose challenges are problems for *other people*. Those who are suffering silently, internalising their struggles, masking like hell and people-pleasing their way through life in order to survive? Fuck those people.

I'd also offer "I've been internalising a really complicated situation in my head" or failing that "piss off, you know I can't grab your ghost chips"

Among many other things, I think this is also another case of them internalising how well the 2019 Boris Johnson 'the news is making you angry/scared, vote for me to make the news go away' campaign worked in the moment and /not/ internalising that the news did not then go away

unmasking as an autistic human isn't about "acting less neurotypical"

Minor digression, but one thing I am going to need everyone to start internalising now is that there is not going to be a moment where Trump stands up on stage and says “I declare Civil War”
that is not how it works. These things get named by the outside and after the fact

I can tell you pretty definitively that you are not casually using the term "TRA Doctrine" unless you have been listening to & internalising the rhetoric of the staunchest anti-trans activists.
That language is transphobic. Fuck Novara.
