its not only bad writing but its extremely harmful to people who actually live with conditions that are misrepresented in media. when i found out i had DID, my mom freaked out because her only point of reference was Sybil. when i was younger and first went on psych meds, i thought it meant i was set on a track to be a bad person, because in so many movies and video games you find out the bad guy has medication in his bed side table for some sort of psych disorder. the worst thing a hallucination has ever made me do was wake my mom up at 3 AM to check my bathroom to see if the bugs i saw everywhere were real and the worst thing an “episode” of any sort has made me do is hurt myself. my ptsd doesnt make me kill people, my alters dont kidnap people, my autism doesnt make me so morally unaware that ill murder for senselessly, my ocd doesnt make me hurt people etc etc etc

Anything can cause the agitation and topics of the mental flashes depend on the several points of disturbance I've gone through. The worst ones are when my mind flashes are of me hurting an animal I own like a pet cat or somebody in my life that I love. Do I end up hurting people like what is foretold in movies? Nope, I wall myself away from everyone and become a danger to myself instead out of the fear of hurting those I love.

It didn't necessarily help that it was commonly treated in horror movies that people with psychosis will unintentionally kill everyone they ever loved. Making me believe that I was going to become some grisly serial killer.

quails would actually be legal!

chickens were only legal for a few years in certain neighborhoods of Toronto, as part of a pilot program. I actually bought my chickens thinking I was in a legal district, BUT it turns out that Toronto had recently restructured its districts, merging old ones to make new ones. so even though chickens were legal in district X, and I lived in district X, they were actually only legal within the old historical boundaries. I only learned this after buying the chickens and setting up their coop, so oops!

honestly, keeping illegal chickens is not that big a deal, so long as you keep things friendly with your neighbours and have an emergency plan B. before my birds arrived, I had a second coop built at my parents place in the countryside, just in case I ever had to rapidly relocate them.

the bigger problem was access to veterinary care. I could only find one vet in Toronto willing to treat chickens, and he’s now left the practice. and for more complex issues, I always had to travel with my chickens to Guelph, where you can find vets certified to treat livestock.

Although, Quail are a bunch of dickheads sometimes and some roosters can be mean, if any of the hens have their back feathers slightly stripped, the rooster will keep going until their feathers are gone. Which leads into the other thing, always keep an extra enclosure or two that's empty so you can quarantine Quail hens that have stripped feathers and circulate as needed.

It's extra work having to constantly move birds back and forth, but there isn't any other solution, but if there is, I'll gladly try them. I only have to do it every once in a while now because I choose the mean roosters to cull and keep the polite roosters that treat their hens nicely. Like my Quail rooster I've named Odo, he doesn't strip feathers.

There is a tik tok account that has been harassing the glass scientists discord server, posting our faces, stealing our artwork and just being an over all asshole.

One of our members who has been posted is a minor. Various posts have been taken down but tik toks stupid moderation can't get them all. I'm going to link their account below

Please if you can spread the word, get this person removed from the platform. Everyone is quite frightened and pissed off.
