My favourite ever piece of Disabled Research has always been that, when it was noticed that a lot of schizophrenics own cats, some dorks were like, maybe the cats are causing the schizophrenia?? and came to the stunning conclusion that people must be eating cat poo and thus getting a kind of parasite that makes you schizophrenic.

And of course a lot of these studies suck. A lot of them didn't actually think to ask WHEN the schizophrenic acquired the cat, so it's just always presumed that the cat came before the schizophrenia. Most don't really account for the fact that a schizophrenia diagnosis is often a very slow and complex process due to specific regional legalities associated with having "doctors can turn your rights off whenever" disorder. Basically, the same scientific half-truths that surround the phenomenon of "drug-induced schizophrenia," that is the conflation of schizophrenics self-medicating before their formal diagnosis is set and the ambiguity of proving when symptoms onset in relation to that, has been completely replicated for cat-induced schizophrenia lol.

And I love this because it's kind of a perfect demonstration of how the stigma associated with schizophrenia works in medical and scientific settings, right. Everything becomes possible to pathologize, from smoking weed to owning a cat. While the science here is usually pretty bad, "science communication" outlets make it much worse because they run with the most broad dumbass versions of these stories and present them to the public as if there's a clear causal relationship between owning a cat and having schizophrenia, instead of actually reading through the research with an appropriate critical lens and demanding real actual meta-review of obviously flawed studies.

Which is not to say that schizophrenia can't be caused by cats or THC exposure, but that the standard for a concept to become "scientifically true" when dealing with schizophrenia is uh, let's say lower?

Anyway, the reality is that a lot of schizophrenics have cats because being schizophrenic is lonely so many of us want pets. Dogs are too demanding and require a lot of hands-on exposure time, but having an adult cat is like having a gay little roommate that occasionally breaks your shit and vomits in your shoes, so they opt for that. A lot of schizophrenics also have pet fish for similar reasons and the second psychiatrists learn that fact they'll start punching up studies about how drinking fish tank water makes you schizophrenic and how to some of us born of the degenerate brain it's completely irresistable lol. Then science communicators will be posting articles with like stock image white girls superimposed over a fishtank lookin thirsty, titled things like, "COULD FISHWATER BE MAKING YOU CRAZY?" lol

the problem with addiction is not that it's pleasurable. it's not "having too much fun" disease. it's not even a requirement for addiction that you have fun at any point in the process at all and to be honest it is incredibly common that no pleasure is gained from substance use. imagining that addiction is about pleasure does two things: 1) demonises feeling good (there is nothing wrong with wanting to be happy/comfortable/etc), and 2) frames addicts as people who Like Having Fun Too Much. it's simply not useful to frame things this way as well as just fundamentally not being true

earlier this year 2 boys got expelled from my school for going on a teachers email and sending another teacher an email that says “you’re a disgusting little man” and i laugh about it all the time because imagine opening an email from your coworker and thinking it’s important and then it says that
