So if someone is chemically sedated, doesn’t understand that’s what’s happening, but doesn’t complain then they could be seen to be “consenting” to that treatment. That’s true even if they don’t know what the medication is, what the effects are, how long they last or that there might be other options.

Because the presence of “consent” means that a restriction wouldn’t be considered “Deprivation of Liberty” it means these people aren’t entitled to deprivation of liberty safeguards, which including having independent checks to make sure that any restrictions to their freedom is proportionate and that they’re not being abused in that setting.

They tried to "justify" removal of DSA by saying "dont worry it won't affect you, it'll just affect the next generation of uni students". They are trying to use selfishness to get us to ignore what they're doing.

They removed the rights for disabled people in care settings bc they believe nobody will fight for them bc those who can fight aren't affected.

"weight gain from using a wheelchair" is largely a myth but when it happens it is rarely extreme and does not warrant extra width unless you are on the edge between widths.

(we do not know each other, I just stumbled across your blog and you seem cool as hell)

My favourite mushroom is Rhodotus Palmatus! it’s a beautiful fungus with a complex history, and overall a very unique creature. The means in which to categorize its characteristics have been argued over for centuries. It was first called Agaricus Palmatus in 1785, but was reclassified again and again until 1926 where it was changed to Rhodotus as its own genus. Rhodotus used to be considered a monotypic genus, meaning that it was the only species in that category. However, molecular research in China has revealed that it is not in fact monotypic, and instead has two distinct species: Rhodotus Palmatus and Rhodotus Asperior! Fascinating stuff right?

its like

"big" brother: oh no this video game is 12+ i guess you cant play it

"little" brother: I am 3000 years old >:((

but nobody else believes him lol

> 80 y/o male neurologist says I don't have it because "girls are less likely to have adhd"

>I insist on being tested because my school performance is shit

> dr gives my parents and one of my teachers a questionaire and never gives me anything to answer/do for the test

> dr says "I told you you didn't have it" and gives me strong antipsychotics for OCD that DID NOT NEED THOSE MEDS

> my body is thrown the fuck off balance and I get a million other meds from an endocrinologist

> endocrinologist asks me why tf I'm taking such strong antipsychotics that are not prescribed unless the patient has not responded to anything else and is over 25 at least. (I was 16 at this time)

> stop going to that neurologist and start going to a psychiatrist much closer to my age and who specializes in kids and teens

> she's worried as fuck as lowers my antipsychotic dose until stopping it fully as fast as she could

> tell new psychiatrist how that happened and tell her I still think I may have adhd

> she asks me what test the neurologist did if it was negative and I still thought I had it. I explain I was not consulted at all for the diagnostic and she tells me it was likely a test for kids young enough to not know how to read well yet (4-6 years old) so obviously it wasn't going to say shit

> well fuck, I'll see that man in hell and fist fight him

> get tested by new psychiatrist correctly and get diagnosed with adhd as I suspected.

>goes to doctor

>gets diagnosed with anxiety??

>gets completely ignored????

>gets worse

>goes to hospital

can we NOT brag about killing birds with your car??? can we NOT play around with the specimens in a practical exam???

maybe its just me but animals need to be respected so much more than humans give them credit for.

this is one of the reasons im so misanthropic. you're telling me you have NO respect for the dead? at all? I get that accidents happen but when I see people making fun of anything dead I get pissed the fuck off.

when you hit something with your giant human death machine, you SHOULD feel bad. idgaf if it was "just a bird".

when you say a frog "deserved to die" because it was "disgusting", you need to get a grip on reality.

you're not better than a frog or a bird, you're the same if not worse. we are ALL animals. I hate that some humans think they are better than the creatures around them.

nature is a connecting and driving force that is not to be underestimated or assulted, its beauty is to be appreciated.

can you tell i'm extremely fucking sick of seeing nonstop violent syscourse on this goddamn website? can you tell?

for example: I did not let my hair get matted. I was not able to stop it from getting that way. I noticed every day that my hair was getting tangled and itchy and every day I was too tired to brush my hair.

even if on the outside it looks like I am letting it happen. I am not. I hate matted and itchy hair! I would not have it on purpose

this also go for a lot of other stuff:

I would not let myself go hungry; I just was too confused to cook. I would not let myself go without a bath for so long, I was too dysregulated to do it.

and also time when I was having demand avoidance I think that also count, I would do it if my body didn’t feel so on fire when I try to do something I want or need to.
