fucking the text man for texts one of society's most influential works

i have a secret third opinion about self dx discourse which is “why are you guys treating the DSM like it’s the fucking bible”

the amount of leftists who uncritically support the DSM-5—wielding it online in battles against random individuals who might be “faking” a disorder—boggles my fucking mind. you guys realize that the DSM-5 isn’t the only diagnostic manual on the planet, right? you realize that we place it at the top of the global hierarchy because it’s american, right? has it occurred to you that the APA shouldn’t have so much authority over what counts as a “real” mental illness? has it occurred to you that perhaps there are other diagnostic manuals? in fact, there are dimensional models that don’t rely on sorting individuals into “disorder/no disorder” boxes in the first place. food for thought, lmao

I’m so proud of myself for no longer being conflict-avoidant or conflict-initiating but mostly just conflict-meeting.

Not every story is about seeing yourself in it. Sometimes it’s about learning to see other people too.

that’s mozilla herself

make something with your hands today. it honestly doesn’t matter what. creating something small will break whatever spiral you’re in

i feel like im a weird age where i got just a blurry glimpse at the world Before. it used to be cold in the mornings and websites had fun games and the search results showed you what you searched for. covid wasn't a thing. can anybody fucking hear me. did i dream it all????

(no beers in) So how do you perceive me in the privacy of your thoughts
