Why “You create your own reality” is dangerous bullshit in a nutshell.

“A lot of very well-educated people truly believed, for example, that the Titanic was unsinkable.  Unfortunately for them, giant hole-punching icebergs don’t give a shit what you believe.” -Dan Cummins

Hufflepuff. Came from the redwoods, which tell me who I am and where I belong in the world. I relate to objects as if they are alive, but as things with identities and properties all of their own, not as something human-like. Culturally I'm from a California Okie background. Crochet or otherwise create constantly, write poetry and paint when I can. Proud member of the developmental disability self-advocacy movement. I care a lot more about being a human being than I care about what categories I fit into.
