I Know Its Not Hard To Point Out Reactionaries Hypocrisy When It Comes To Like Safe Spaces Or Hug Boxes

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

Mom appreciation post

So my mother has recently (these past few years) started reading after learning that

apparently people are out here making up their own images in their brains and it’s not just some cartoon bs

she can sort of recall images so she uses that info to assign actors and whonot to characters in her books

And it’s just so funny to me that my mom went from “I don’t understand how you read so much” to “omg I can’t find any books I like” and “I’ve read three 200+ page books in the last 24 hours and just found out there’s a 4th book in the series and I’m pissed”

I honestly love it, it’s so adorable to watch my mom be able to appreciate books in a way she couldn’t growing up. Now I get to just walk outside and go “hey mom did you finish that book you were mad at?” And the I get her cliff notes ADD version of the book and have a conversation with her about it and I love it.

still not over how much I love this

What would a telepath get when trying to read the mind of someone who has 0 internal dialogue.

Like, head full of thoughts, but no voice?

Or images??? What about those people with no internal dialogue AND aphantasia?
