The-aviary-system - The Aviary System

when i was 17 and in the eating disorder trenches i saw people online talking abt how the fat liberation movement & unlearning fatphobia helped them recover and i did NOT like hearing that i was SO mad about it i was like well having an eating disorder doesnt mean im fatphobic!!! This is ableist etc etc. And then i learned abt the fat liberation movement and started unlearning fatphobia and guess what . it does help

Guys, I Love being a system.

We'll live and die a system, and maybe we'll be reincarnated a system, together again in another life.

I love my packmates. I'm happy to share a body with them.

Some of them are all thorns and barbs as big as a redwood tree in their guard.

Some of them are all beautiful petals and nectar and vibrant colors meant to soothe and call to you.

Some of them are as big and large and imposing as a cedar tree.

Some of them are as small and invisible as a mushroom spore.

I love them from their burnt and charred, burnt wood to their vibrant yellows that challenge even the sun in their brightness.

For a ecosystem to work, you need every little factor. The dirt, the plants, the rocks, the bugs, the birds, etc. Living or Non-Living.

And if it seems bad. The trees fallen down or a rabbit killed something new will grow from it if you give it a chance.

As someone with violent and even homicidal ideation, I think the choices people make are far more indicative of their moral character than anything else.

Thoughts mean nothing. Thoughtcrimes don't exist, especially because what we think is out of our control. If you're not running around hurting people or advocating for others hurting people, then you're fine. For the love of fuck stop stigmatizing mental illnesses and and the unsavory symptoms some of them tend to have.

People can't help it whether they have intrusive thoughts or even fantasize about violence. It doesn't mean we're going to do it. I'm not going to apologize for my symptoms nor does someone finding them off-putting give them a license to be ableist/sanist about it.
