each doctor has a special power

the neurotypical progressive/radical conception of schizophrenia as a capitalist construction is SO CLOSE to hitting the mark, but for some reason the route they go is “schizophrenia doesn’t actually exist as a biochemical neurotype and is just made up by Big Pharma”, not “authoritarian capitalism sees schizophrenic people as a threat to the status quo because they don’t have the same instincts binding them to social norms or the need for community, approval, or to ‘be normal’, so people in the government make it very difficult to disengage from the mainstream employment system and variously penalize things like homelessness, growing food, or saving money while receiving benefits, which feeds into the negative stimulus that schizophrenics in western society are constantly assaulted with and that studies show concretely leads to more unpleasant and distressing positive symptoms than in societies where schizophrenic people are comparatively left to their own devices and not constantly pressured to conform to a rigid societal structure”

my main issue with petplay becoming more normalized in the queer community is that it spreads the dangerous misconception that all animalistic humanoids are submissive and social towards homitypicals and will respond positively to physical contact, as opposed to being flighty and defensive or even seeing humans as prey. I mean, we all saw that news story about the pumagirl attack at Yuba Pride. she had zero interest in the people at the festival until that one sapphic triad started trying to feed her hotdog chunks and give her “scritches”.

I clicked on a youtube short called “how we use AI to make comments” and it was just a long walk to a clickbait title (the joke is that they DON’T use AI!), and honestly, while I appreciate the message since as an artist I’m totally opposed to the use of generative art, I do kind of feel like they wasted my time a little when I was expecting it to be an ad for like, not gen AI but maybe a more precise lineart extraction plugin or something. you know. the actually useful type of AI that we used to do shit with before everyone got distracted by sexy fruit animations.

I am giving a downright unwarranted amount of symbolic and cosmic weight to predatory sea snails in this lovecraft mythos rpg but to be fair I think that’s the most earnest way you can engage with the original spirit of the author without veering into white supremacy; respectfully acknowledging that the ocean is home to some freaky little guys.

the main reason I oppose “larp” becoming another slang buzzword is that actual larping is way too weird and full of drama to have the definition get watered down like that, it’s going to ruin the seo of video essays about kickstarter scams where people get sent to an abandoned water treatment plant to roleplay hogwarts

to some adventure time fans fionna is simultaneously too old to be derailed by the symptoms of neurodivergence and too young to kiss a middle-aged man

you know what I should do as research for developing Wilbur Whateley? rewatch the mst3k Manos: The Hands of Fate episode

I see a lot of posts going around from people in financial/housing crisis, so here’s an important reminder for people in California: if you’re disabled and poor, you really need to connect with your local Regional Center to get hooked up with a social worker, housing vouchers, medication discounts, and opening an ABLE account so you can have savings without them being counted against you for receiving benefits. I literally just found out about this shit and it’s crazy that no one told me about it earlier, literally just “you can check yourself into a halfway house if you lie about being addicted to drugs and rig a positive urine test, and you’ll be a model patient because in their eyes you’ll just stop using immediately”. housing benefits can reduce your monthly rent to as little as TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS!!

nooo it’s called torso collapse that’s so gross
