250 years and most native tribal groups continue to not be federally recognized. Embarrassing!

honestly i think we kind of lost the plot on "therapy speak" as a bit of media criticism

i swear it used to refer to a story using a very formal, almost workplace safety-type tone of dialogue that's unintentionally jarring in context and feels like the writer is trying to make extra sure the characters come off as healthy and nice even though the language doesn't make sense contextually, now it seems to frequently refer to characters having any conversation about their feelings at all or even stories that are about therapy/are deliberately evoking that sort of verbage throughout as a stylistic choice. very odd.

Oh you take medications to manage your symptoms? That pales in comparison to my strategy of only eating raw eggs, avoiding anything that could possibly cause a flare-up and taking 50 different supplements every day.

I don't want to depend on pills for the rest of my life, that's why I decided to manage my chronic health condition with wellness & diet products that I will need to keep purchasing indefinitely.

I don't trust big pharma, but I trust influencers selling me their stuff, I have a parasocial relationship to them, they would never lie to me!

Hello I would like pills and health treatments but like not regulated at all and marketed with false promises only by people who cannot be held accountable.
