If you were a big reader as a kid, you were disassociating.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While, technically, being deeply engrossed in reading is an example of mild dissociation, this incorrectly applies the psychological context of coping with stress/trauma or struggling with psychosis. Pathologising normal behaviour is trivialising to those with real disorders. wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociat…

Every day on Twitter there is a new straight girl who goes viral with an antifeminist take that was already boring when Camille Paglia made it in 1991. We deserve better provocateurs.

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

Lmao Zelenskyy is like "I actually have real problems going on in my life sorry idc"
Chris Mason, "Did your heart sink last week when President Biden standing right next to you introduced you as President Putin, of all people?" Volodymyr Zelenskyy, "No, he just made a mistake. Honestly, for me it means nothing"
