Yaoi Town Fuckers

I ended up making a fucking server 😅 dm me for the link

what we say: fandoms, much like every other social part of our life, should have political awareness and be a safe space for fans who belong to marginalised groups, as well as be cautious about media literacy

I do not give a fuck about "closeted proshippers" who still pose as antishippers. Like I genuinely do not. I don't care that you're secretly consuming proship content while outwardly presenting yourself as someone who derives a sense of satisfaction from harassing and bullying people.

90s movies: Psychopharmacology is as good as a lobotomy. If you take pills to treat your mental illness it will literally murder your imaginary friends and you will become a boring, lotus-eating conformist drone.

"What were you like before taking the meds tho"

I feel like it's worth mentioning that being on The Wrong Meds can indeed do the 90s movie thing to you.

there is a single pill i can take to immediately live a day as the best version of myself-- not a superhero, not a perfect genius, but a good dude who can read and write and do the dishes. im optimistic and coherent and can plan for the future. i write novels and walk the dog and remember to shower and brush my teeth.

Counterpoint: At least if I spend the remainder of my natural life as a dirty, inept husk, a sad sack of well-meaning but futile intentions just sapient enough to be dimly aware of everything I'm unable to be... at least I'll know I'm me, not a fake version of myself created by medication. Nor do I have to worry about regressing if I run out, the repeat prescription doesn't come in time etc.

Hey, so, this is kind of the attitude that made me afraid to take meds that I really benefit from: the idea that who you are on medication is somehow "not really you."

It's been a year since I went on medication for PTSD and major depressive disorder. I can sleep again. I can taste food and I can cook. I can go back to work. My blood work is no longer dangerously abnormal. I've gained back the 16% of my body weight that I lost. I'm gonna be in a play this spring.

as a counselor and a person who had (until recently) an extremely warped fear of antidepressants-it is okay to accept help. it is okay to accept help from friends, from family, from trusted partners. it is okay to accept help from a therapist, from a social worker, from a doctor. it is okay to accept help from meds, especially if you have tried everything else.

Sleep deprivation is such a common abuse tactic (especially in intimate partner scenarios) that I feel like is discounted or not recognized as a sign of an abusive relationship. Your partner doing shit like provoking arguments in the evening and not letting you go to sleep until you ‘finish it’, playing video games on full brightness and at full volume in the bedroom while you’re trying to sleep, repeatedly waking you with loud noises and having absolutely no consideration for your sleep schedule is a major red flag. It’s so easy to brush off in the moment because accidentally waking someone is one of those hazards of cohabitation that can be brushed aside and easily excused and so many abuse victims only begin to realize it was a calculated pattern of behavior after getting out and getting to sleep. Sleep deprivation is a torture method and a very effective method of abuse and control, lack of sleep puts you on edge and makes it harder for you to think. Abusers will often do this the night before a major event in their victim’s life like a job interview or important social gathering so the victim is not as prepared and/or cannot enjoy the event and it can have serious consequences on your academic, professional and social life.
