I tend to stick to more serious topics here, so if anyone wants to hop over to my more lighthearted blog, find me at @miscellaniousmanagerie :)

Teach your children to appreciate nature and love their bodies and most importantly, to keep an open mind towards things and people they don’t understand.

I'm so sick and tired of people saying "psychotic" when they mean "cruel"

I'm tired of it, especially in "progressive" spaces! Mental health matters until it's someone literally demonized by society!!!!!!!!

I'm so done.

this is ableism.

[schizoetic]

If someone gets a schizophrenia diagnosis that does not mean you should distrust everything they say.

How do you wish things would be different when it comes to mental illness/psychiatric wards?

I'll go first. I wish that there were distractions in seclusion other than your own mind.

[bees0and0trees]

I wish they had activities planned for people with disabilities as well. I remember when I was in the psych ward there was a blind patient who seemed to just sit in a chair all day and do nothing because all of the activities they had planned relied so heavily on sight. He seemed to be having a very bad time :•(

you know even if a homeless person or a starving person is in that position because of their own "bad decisions" i don't care. it doesn't matter. no supposed financial misstep is enough to condemn someone to homelessness or poverty.

Search and rescue teams do not ask if a hiker was properly equipped and prepared before they go out to look for them. EMTs do not ask if a driver checked their mirrors before they take them to the hospital. Lifeguards do not ask if a swimmer made a mistake by going into a riptide before they dive in after them. Judgement doesn't help anyone, including you, the person doing the judging. Just help people. Just shut the fuck up and help people.

leftist media discussion: "While this show said "trans rights" directly without any ambiguity, one plot element of this children's show could be considered morally questionable after 25 degrees of separation, so the author must be a heckin fascist"

right wing media discussion: "Well it happened. The reboot of Female Protagonist Fights Unsubtle Allegory for Capitalism That I Was Too Young to Notice as a Kid -our last bastion of apolitical entertainment- has gone woke because they made a supporting character black"

centrist media discussion: "did you see the latest episode of Sword Hero Cleanses the Undesirables on crunchyroll? best show of the year imo"

This comic is 25 YEARS OLD. This doesn't feel like a joke anymore.

This was one of the worse black mirror episodes tbh and YET HERE WE ARE

[loachfriend]

I'm gonna put my mom hat on and remind everyone that you can explain almost anything to a child as long as you explain it at their level.

"Sometimes people are born and girl and feel they should have been a boy, so they decide to live as a boy". My four year old understood that instinctively.

"Sex is when people touch each other's bodies and it feels good, but it's usually something you don't get interested in until you become a teenager. Masturbation is when you touch your own body and it feels good. " That was how I explained sex to a 6 year old.

"Some people are having a hard time with drugs or have a mental illness that needs treatment. If you see someone acting weird in public but they aren't hurting anyone or themselves, you can just give them space." A classic city neighborhood lesson.

You can explain human things without creating a cocoon of shame over every aspect of life. My goal as a parent is to raise an informed, empathic adult who doesn't turn in fear from other people.

A couple of years ago we were all terribly concerned about the fact that a lot of American high schools are assigning such crushing homework loads that some kids literally don't have enough time to eat or sleep (and all this in spite of the fact that there's no good evidence that assigning homework actually improves academic outcomes at the pre-university level), but now we're hearing stories about those same schools struggling to stop kids from using ChatGPT to write their essays and suddenly It's The Children Who Are Wrong. Like, do you think maybe there's a certain level of cause and effect in play here?

[prokopetz]

"Okay, but what if both are bad" see, I don't think any framing that implicitly puts the school administration that thinks it's reasonable to assign thirty hours of homework per week and the student who has to choose between writing an essay the old-fashioned way and getting more than two hours of sleep tonight on equal ethical footing is productive.

[wizardsisananimal]

did you make sure to make lots of mistakes today ? from which to learn and grow ^_^ ?

[gloom-and-doom-in-my-room]

no I'm perfect and beautiful in every way actually. Never made a mistake in my life.

[wizardsisananimal]

sorry to hear you will be encased in resin forever while the world changes around you. maybe one day you will be dug from the earth and put on display in a beautiful place.

[deermioda]

if you call a mentally ill person crazy or insane you are being ableist btw

yes that includes people with personality disorders

yes that includes people who are schizospec

yes that includes people with mood disorders

yes that includes people with psychosis

yes that includes people with disorders that may cause them to 'act out'

yes that includes people you dont like

[solidwater05]

Apparently this needs to be said so

Forgetting things is morally neutral! Memory issues are morally neutral!

You're not a bad person if you...

forget things quickly

forget people

can't remember entire stages of your life

can't remember important things

can remember some things very well and forget other things all the time

can't remember things (or anything!) about your interests

forget to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, etc

forget to reply to texts

remember things and immediately forget them again

can't remember birthdays, events, etc

frequently answer 'I forgot' to questions

can't retain new information

forget things you used to know

only remember things when it's too late

have vague, distorted and/or unreliable memories

depend on others to know how an event you were in played out

have other symptoms that are worsened by memory issues and vice versa

... and anything else I might have missed!

me: i don’t want to see jellyfish so i will blacklist the tag #jellyfish

people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk

result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish

conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.

Once again, tumblr is not tiktok, tag properly.

[nojerama1996]

This. Please. Whether I'm avoiding spoilers for a show or people promoting eating disorders, if I block a tag it means I don't want to see it. Spell your fucking tags properly.
