This is terrifying!

I feel like between the forceful psychiatrization of chronic illness (because it's much easier to just tell physically disabled people with complex conditions that it's All In Our Heads than to actually treat us) and the boom in pop psychiatry, people have stopped looking at the human brain as an actual like... Tangible bodily organ and more as an abstract entity. Like the physiological soul. And imo that's doing so, so much damage.

The brain isn't the modern non-religious soul, it's a part of your body subject to dysfunction, illness, structural flaws, injury and poor upkeeping.

i woke up tired like 8 years ago and I haven't recovered since

Wow, I knew they weren't in "every African country", but I didn't realize just how restricted their range was

Good teachers don't mind saying "I don't know" or that they need to look it up and will get back to you.

“we were born alone & we die alone” you delivered yourself during birth? built all the roofs that have ever given you shelter? sown the wheat in your bread?? weaved the clothes on your back??? wrote all the books youve ever read and the music youve ever listened to????? who made the literal bed youre going to die in - you, all alone?

This is fantastic I never want it to end.

Idk I don’t fuck with mean ppl no matter how correct and articulate their opinions are like I don’t trust ppl who clearly have a disdain for other humans and don’t trust them enough to ever interact in good faith how are you gonna help organize a better world if you can’t even be baseline decent to strangers online

[Image description] get comfortable saying: 1. thanks for correcting me. i didn't realize that. 2. i hadn't thought of it like that. i understand now. 3. i was wrong about that, and i've changed my mind. 4. i should do some more research before i argue this point. there's no shame in being wrong, only refusing to learn.
