Transcript by OP

I’ve been very sad and stressed lately due to my job. I can’t seem to do anything right and I keep blaming myself for everything that goes wrong. Then I saw a video of Mister Rogers asking, “Have you ever done anything mean to yourself?”, and it was enough for me to take a step back and realize I’ve been very unkind to myself. Work is still bad, but I feel a little less sad now.

Secret because I never really liked Mister Rogers as a kid and thought he was kinda boring. I appreciate him more as an adult.

[(Anonymous)]

I appreciate him more as an adult, too, anon. So I totally get you there. I hope you start feeling better soon. 💗

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry you've been having a hard time OP, and I'm glad you found something that helped you feel better. Maybe I should check out some Mr. Rogers myself- Sounds like something we all need right now.

Oh hey! Rachel! I love her! Her videos about Fourth Wing or whatever that series is, are so good.

Your bonus secret reminded me how common that viewpoint was for a long time. My automatic assumption is you are straight, white, American, and middle class. Because everyone else knows that self publishing has been the only avenue for a lot of minority voices and many of them have deals with trad publishers now.

[(Anonymous)]

At least the nepo-publishings actually have the illusion of an actual editor instead of being purely circlejerks around some delusional narcissist.

After this piece of absolute garbage, I now feel I owe Christopher Paolini a heartfelt apology for all the shit I talked about Eragon feeling as though it were written by a teenage who only got published because nepotism. I stand corrected. It could have been so, so, so much worse.

bonus secret: i always felt self-publishing was a shitty concept. i am vindicated.

I liked the Star Trek method. One or two we know and one/two made up. Especially when one is ancient, second is modern, and third is made up future.

[(Anonymous)]

It's kinda funny how no future-based things ever mention like, specifically the 384th remake of whatever modern movie (the 385th remake is due soon)

...No.

[(Anonymous)]

Considering that everything in the Library of Alexandria had copies in various other libraries and a ton of fanfic on AO3 is only on AO3... yes.

[(Anonymous)]

Starting to work out why people hate AO3 users, to be honest.

Jesus, no. Just, no.

These Olympics are the first in my lifetime that I remember hearing the athletes' political opinions.

And goddamit, can we not have ONE event where we all just non-cynically support our countries's teams and athletes in a silly competition and even - gasp - have a little national pride?!

I think RPF is creepy and people who partake have tinhat and stalker vibes.

(I would never say this to anyone. Let them all have their fun, I just judge silently to myself. Hence secret.)

If I had to choose, and it's a topic I don't care about, I'd rather be around haters than stans.

IME haters will leave you alone and interact amongst themselves if you clearly state you couldn't give less of a shit about a topic, but stans are desperate for everybody to like their thing, take your lack of care as an insult, and try pointlessly to defend their thing from your imaginary attack of not-caring until you're sick of them.
