Twitter is fun today, part 2
@brandg: The part of zombie stories that nobody likes to talk about: Zombies make it okay to hate sick people.
@MollyRen: Dude, zombies aren't sick, they're *dead*.
@brandg: No. Dead people don't move. The undead, infected, irradiated. . . these are the zombies.
@grimdreaper: Well, maybe okay to AVOID sick people (or keep them behind bullet-proof glass.)
@brandg: Heh. In some movies, it's okay to shoot someone who gets an infected person's blood on them. How's that for survivor guilt? :)
@brandg: BTW, I don't mean to diss Zombie stories or those who love them. I just noticed that it's like an outlet for survivor's guilt.
@DDog: Lose an arm? Disability = death. Broken skin? Infection = death. Too slow/overweight? Fat = death. These are not pleasant memes.
@brandg: Yeah, as much as I love Zombieland, "Rule #1: Cardio" pissed me off.
@JSterlingS: why did that piss you off? it made sense in the context of the movie.
@brandg: The basic idea is that zombies kill people who can't run long distances. Yet, 9/10ths of all engagements were ended suddenly.
@brandg: Either by shotgun or facebites, zombie interaction is quick. The cardio rule was the writer's way of saying "No Fat Chicks".
@JSterlingS: personally it just reminded me about the old joke about out running a hungry bear.
@JSterlingS: 'i dont have to out run the bear i just have to out run you'
@DDog: Same meme, really. Those with most privilege win. Everyone else loses. Trained to push others down instead of band together.
@brandg: I wonder how different "Sean of the Dead" would have been if Simon Pegg told Nick Frost "You can't come with us. You'll slow us down."
@MollyRen: But the whole point of being a zombie is that they are dead and yet can still move! That's why they are unstoppable!
@brandg: So a person gets really sick, loses the ability to feel, speak, or think, has necrotic skin, and begins eating brains. What is he?
@MollyRen: A cannibal! I feel like this is really a geek argument: are zombies already dead or about to be dead? :p
@MollyRen: You also have to remember that zombies now have a special place in the internet cannon, like zombies and raptors and ninjas.
@MollyRen: I think they're now less of a metaphor for anything than an inside joke.
@brandg: I get that, but think of how common the "She's my mother, but I have to kill her" scene is in Zombie films.
@MollyRen: I thought it was more about a manifestation of how you can't trust *anyone*/apocalyptical survival narratives.
@MollyRen: Because yeah, you can "catch" being a zombie, but eating brains is the disconnect from real-life sickness.
@MollyRen: I'd think more major themes of sickness-hatred would be feared sharing in weakness, unattractiveness, loneliness, possible death...
@MollyRen: Zombies are too savage to be thought of as "ill".
@MollyRen: It's more like morphed, changed... like the X-men!
@brandg: "I am Legend" "28 Days Later" and "Sean of the Dead" would argue the "illness" point.

“Lack of motivation” is a generally misunderstood symptom of depression. It does...”
– Maud, There’s Good News and Bad News. And Fat News. (Shakesville)
Probably the best description of that particular aspect of depression that I’ve ever read. At least, that’s how it is for me.

This sounds like meee.

Oh hello...
RE: trigger warnings
tranzient:
queersecrets:
answer: no 1: a trigger is subjective 2: pointless for anyone reading from the blog because text comes after the image anyway if you don’t like it unfollow and/or block from appearing — it’s that simple
Why not just put the triggering secrets up as links?
It’s not like depression/self harm is new in the GLBT community. Why alienate those persons by just telling them...
