He tweeted about how wonderful an article about depression from The Guardian is, the central thesis of the article being “lol antidepressants don’t work go make more friends lmao”.

The article argues that there’s no reason to take antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication, because mental health problems are a result of having our “basic needs unmet” and that if people just went outside more and connected with other PEOPLE they’d be cured. 

Needless to say, this is not only objectively nonsense, it’s actively dangerous. Psychiatric pharmaceuticals save lives. They make people stable enough not to entertain thoughts of suicide. They allow people to be receptive to talking therapy. They balance chemical irregularities which lead to feelings of doom and nihilism. 

The author of the article, however, thinks that “we need to move from “focusing on ‘chemical imbalances’… to focusing more on “power imbalances”.

The whole thing is utter bollocks from start to finish, and the fact that James Corden, with the size of following that he has, just tweeted his support of such irrelevant, redundant, inaccurate bullshit, is unbelievably dangerous. 

happy 2018 everyone!!

i came back to tumblr in june of last year and honestly, i was nervous because all of my old friends had left and it was like starting all over again. to the people who have stuck with me and stayed for years, i love you and am so grateful. to my new pals, you have made these past seven months back amazing and i love you all.

2017 brought me back to my best friend, reconnected me with friends from years ago, and helped me realize some very important things about myself. thank you. i hope 2018 brings even more gay and love.
