I Must Not Afternoon Nap. Afternoon Nap Is The Mind-killer. Afternoon Nap Is The Little Death That Brings

So I have a deep appreciation for late night host John Oliver and all he does, but I have an even greater love for one of his running gags.

A lot clicked for me when my mom said the reason she was so reactive towards me as a kid was that she assumed intent behind things I did, rather than recognizing my behaviors for being normal kid behaviors or normal autism behaviors. So I got treated as if I was an adult who was intentionally doing things to upset her. She'd react to me like I had the maturity and wherewithal to do things in a cruel or manipulative way, making her life harder, when I was just existing. Just trying to learn how to cope and be a person myself. When she told me this I stopped in my tracks trying to process. Why would anyone's default assumption be that a kid is trying to antagonize them instead of like, struggling with something they're experiencing? But she was also raised the exact same way, treated like everything she did carried the weight of adult responsibility, not seen as a kid.

It's genuinely terrifying to me how many people (especially U.S Americans) fully believe that if you don't work you deserve to be homeless. You deserve to die.

They will look you dead in the eyes and tell you that yes, they believe you have to earn the right to live. You have to be considered useful enough to be deserving of basic human rights.

The propaganda and brainwashing runs deep and it is killing people.
