u rlly gotta stop with the self deprecation humor you know? like that shit might be funny for a second but then u really gotta think “why do I find it funny to think so little of myself? why does my personal pain make for good comedy to others?” not the sort of gallows humor we as marginalized people share in response to pain but the stuff that deals with you and what you’re going through specifically. A wound cannot begin to heal if you insist on keeping it open.
