Whenever I spot a book shop:

the only thing better than 10 yr old lyanna mormont sending hate mail to stannis is the fact that stannis was genuinely 100% offended by it

THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN YOU THINK IT IS! It’s promising to be a “campier, more historically informative” version of your typical ghost hunter show and it’s going to focus on investigating the queer histories to locations and people that are usually erased, rewritten or minimized.
The ghost hunting team includes “gay, transgender, lesbian, bisexual, and gender-fluid members
“ and I love every one of them with all my heart already.

Just a friendly reminder that the brain of those who have suffered trauma is physically different than a “normal brain”. Trauma and abuse has a severe, long-term psychological and neurological effect. This is why you have difficulty concentrating, why you have trouble sleeping, why you can’t seem to stay focused, why you cry at the drop of the hat, why you’re not satisfied with yourself, why you think everything is your fault, why you think you’re toxic, why you’re full of regret and you don’t know why.
And get this. When you experienced this trauma, no matter how long it happened or how many times, your brain instantaneously made judgments about the world, your sense of self, and others. This is why you’re paranoid. Why you trust no one. Why you perceive things to exist that aren’t true in reality. It’s why people say you’re crazy, over-dramatic, or too emotional.
You may not heal in a day, but know this: it is not your fault. Your brain is responding to trauma.
Man this makes me feel better about myself
