#actually progressive

a further loss for the schizospec/psychotic community: just heard from the national 🇳🇿 news that they've added DELULU to the Cambridge dictionary, fucking pricks

Fuck all the way off with that shit, don't the normies have anything better to do than watering down a word for a really SERIOUS (and scary for us) symptom of a DISABILITY, and the fear a lot of us live in?

They are supposed to protect us, instead they constantly mock, harass and endanger us

Still, a part of me remains ever-optimistic (perhaps too much for my own good):

Is there anything we can do to stop it being added to dictionary?

Is there anything we can do to get it (delulu) removed from said dictionary? Heads together now

Update: it had actually already been added to the dictionary by the time I wrote this post, so have amended my question/the post.

And to the troll that responded saying this is ageist; did not once mention age ANYwhere in post, so don't comment in bad faith. If you think this is about age then thats on you ig? 🤷‍♀️

If you are any kind of progressive, supportive person who prides yourself on your wokeness, etc., please, I beg you, stop trying to shut down people's arguments online by giving them grief about their spelling, punctuation, etc.

Why? Because it's wildly ableist, classist, racist, xenophobic, and honestly? a really weak rebuff.

It's pretty much ad hominem bullshit, and you're better than that. Saying "haha, *they're" isn't the win you think it is. Get to the root of their actual damned argument, and tackle that and their assumptions. Don't equate spelling and punctuation with intelligence and, worse, any of those things with worth.

And I know why you think that - I had to work incredibly hard to overcome that prejudice, inculcated from really early on by my otherwise very liberal, but crucially, newly middle-class, Boomer parents. But it's worth the effort, for so many reasons.

I know that in the disabled community we don't really like people using euphemisms like "differently abled" and other things that imply that disabled is a "dirty" word to be avoided at all costs, BUT,

With regards to the schizospec community, this actually feels like a first from Hollywood/tv & movie industry, as it possibly shows a sign that the writers are maybe, just maybe, actually starting to rethink how they treat us thru language+ plot devices that have unfairly portrayed or targeted us for too long.

Or literally disabled (schizospec variety) "my body is made of hollow clay" clinically delusional

Girl we are not the same, stop saying delulu

What is the difference between tangential and circumstantial thought?

A circumstantial thought process describes someone whose thoughts are connected but go off-topic before returning to the original subject. On the other hand, a tangential thought process is a series of connected thoughts that go off-topic but do not return to the original topic.

as it so happens, I have come out with some circumstantial speech below cut if you want an example
