Oooooh Naomi Chainey did a good mini essay in 2013 bout the appropriation of spoon theory. ( Don't love the line on racism tho and it's obvious the writer has never experienced the social fatigue of Being Racialized In A White Supremacist Society but thats kinda a sidebar!) The depth of the metaphor, units of energy that are depleted in ANY ACTIVITY no matter how 'tiny' and oftentimes are replenished unpredictability and not perfectly in alignment with rest... We coulda had something very useful here re: talking about how chronic illness shapes your life and is always always impacting how u spend your time....idk hope that's not a weird ramble! Now u turn for ramble 🎤
ill have to give that a read eventually 👁️👁️
i get the metaphor but the choice of "spoons" is just so strange to me i cant get over it no matter how i try. spoons have nothing to do with energy..... again why not batteries or something like that. although tbh thinking about it more i think im realizing that the spoons hold the energy. and. arent the energy
idk regardless of how stupid literal i am i still dont like it! lmfao <---- coping
