Faith. Hope. Love.

I really wish the overused sentence “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” was less relevant but here we are

Oh, I am in.

WANT. :)

When I say personality disorders are ridiculously stigmatized by medical professionals, I mean it. Since having my BPD diagnosis removed from my chart I’ve noticed a big shift from medical professionals. Like, I’d been advocating for years about my chronic pain, but no one was willing to look into it. And now suddenly, after BPD no longer being my diagnosis, I mention my pain to my doctor, and she suddenly jumps into action, scheduling a pain assessment and getting ready to refer me to a specialist clinic. It’s so eerie how many doors open as soon as I didn’t have that specific label. The funny thing is, my symptoms haven’t changed. I’m still just as moody and traumatized as ever, yet I’m being treated with so much more respect now that it’s off my chart. Shoutout to my homies with personality disorders. Y’all do not deserve this bullshit from doctors.

Criticism should be an act of mutual respect, love, and genuine belief. If you want socialism / anarchism / leftism to improve and become stronger, you must critically engage with it in full.

There’s an emotion only unlocked when you live in a house with multiple stories. I call it “the stair emotion” and it’s when you realize the object you need is on the other side of yet another trip up and down those goddamn stairs. It’s the closest I get to transcending the desire for material goods. Maybe I don’t need that notebook. Maybe I don’t need anything.

i hope she's doing well.

if I see one more "why age verification is bad" post that doesn't even bother to mention that locking young people out of huge sections of the public sphere - literally the stated goal and primary impact of this shit - is wrong in and of itself I will simply start hitting people with bricks

yes yes biometric data privacy blah blah adults can hypothetically by harmed by this too. what about the immediate and deliberate and not at all hypothetical harm to youth. why are you acting like a potential data leak about what your face looks like, which if it ever happened would at least be generally recognised as a problem, is a more serious issue than cutting millions of people off from information and community and public expression which is happening right now in the open with large scale support

it's got the stench of fucking "banned books week" on it. thousands of adults congratulating themselves for reading books literally no one is trying to stop them from reading while doing nothing to improve access for the young people who are the ones actually having those books made off-limits to them.

One of the effect of elementary watson being a woman on sherlock is that hes always making caveats about murder suspects like a man caved his skull in. Or a woman. women can also cave skulls in 👍 he set the building on fire. Or she. I would never imply women cant set building on fire
