the laughing smiler

i have a secret third opinion about self dx discourse which is “why are you guys treating the DSM like it’s the fucking bible”

the amount of leftists who uncritically support the DSM-5—wielding it online in battles against random individuals who might be “faking” a disorder—boggles my fucking mind. you guys realize that the DSM-5 isn’t the only diagnostic manual on the planet, right? you realize that we place it at the top of the global hierarchy because it’s american, right? has it occurred to you that the APA shouldn’t have so much authority over what counts as a “real” mental illness? has it occurred to you that perhaps there are other diagnostic manuals? in fact, there are dimensional models that don’t rely on sorting individuals into “disorder/no disorder” boxes in the first place. food for thought, lmao

What would you do if you were scrolling through recommended tumblr posts and one was from someone you don't know and it was just a picture of your dad captioned "fucking hate this guy" and it had hundreds of notes

reblog it

I just mowed my 88 year old papas lawn and when i came back inside he lifted my arm to reveal a bug that was attempting to hitchhike into the house. At which point he said "you will NEVER escape my garden." And flicked it back into the grass

This post is a safe place to lay your egg

i think people forget that being trans makes you an oppressed minority more vulnerable to societal and monetary abuse. like sorry i just don't get what is so fucking funny. im a guy in a well-off situation in no need of mutual aid but when my friends go homeless and are begging for food online of course i give them what I can spare. why wouldn't you? what is so absurd and laughable about queer people assuming others in their community should support them and prevent their deaths? what's funny about charity. what's funny. seriously

even IF. they are lying or IF. they are scamming or IF. they're lazy?? why the fuck should I care???? you'd rather intentionally mock the homeless than accidentally trust someone once? seriously? i don't fucking care if the guy on the street asking for a snack is lying and actually totally well off at home and just begging for scraps "for the love of the game" id rather accidentally feed 1 million scammers before i ever accuse someone starving and sleeping on pvement of "being lazy"

do nuns have pockets

I have the ability to make Itztlacoliuhqui the second most known about Nahua god

[Id: an edited photo of Seinfeld featuring Kramer, Jerry, and George anticipating the arrival of the Nahua/Mexica god of ice frost death and justice itztlacoliuhqui]

honestly the sacred boar at the center of the world has a definite liberal bias

esplain??

it is self evident

wait why would the hog confirm this

because he's biased but he still cares about truth and acknowledges his biases openly

i have an update the boar has been fired from the washington post

We should replace him with a terrible frost diety

the cool s was there for me at my lowest point
