@KatyElphinstone@mas.to I suddenly noticed, a couple of years ago that I was regularly responding to "Are you okay?" type questions, with, "I'm just tired." But what I actually meant was, "I am deeply distressed, but I cannot find the energy or executive function to begin to verbalise my distress to you, even though I know you to be someone who would care about it. So, 'tired' it is."

@Tattooed_Mummy "This dog would be better off dead than with you" is quite the statement.

@Havoc_online@mastodon.social When I think back to my PE lessons, I am left wondering just what they thought they were achieving. It wasn't a lifelong love of exercise; it wasn't fitness; it wasn't any kind of sporting competence; it certainly wasn't pleasure; and there was no qualification at the end of it. What did THEY think the point was?

@PetraPhoenix@mendeddrum.org Basic mortality fear. We're all going to die one day, most of us are low-key terrified about it, and the illusion of youth is how we persuade ourselves it's still too far into the future to worry about.
