have not been able to sleep (2 nights now but most nights are shit sleep, not being able to fall asleep, or if I DO sleep and happen to wake up early in the day, waves of nausea and vomiting), I’ve had zero appetite for days, extremely low energy and motivation to do anything, not enjoying anything except what COMPLETELY distracts my brain (right now, reading, but even that drifts), life is a nonstop barrel of fucking laughs
Fun how the bystander effect was coined to cover up how cops are bigoted cowards who let a queer person die and stockholm syndrome was coined to cover that the cops handled a hostage situation so badly the hostages trusted their captors more than the cops.
I don't think the first one is true??? Like at all?? Please enlighten me??
This person is wrong about the bystander effect. It was specifically coined because CIVILIANS (NOT anyone trained in aid or as a responder of any kind) heard some of or everything that happened and didn’t intervene. There were no group of cops standing around with their thumbs up their asses. Cops are shitty enough that we don’t need to invent stuff like that (people have died in police custody and it’s never because of a “bystander effect”- it’s cops being violent bigots with a need for power & control over others and CHOOSING not to do anything when you are TRAINED to respond to emergencies.)
The BYSTANDER effect is exactly what it’s called- people who are there DURING the attack or parts of it, and who do nothing, either out of apathy, not knowing how to respond, thinking someone else will take care of it, or being scared for their own safety (etc I’m not listing them all off). It’s specifically about ordinary people- again, those who do not have any kind of first aid or emergency training- freezing.
Also, 9-1-1 didn’t exist when Kitty was murdered. The bystanders would have needed to find a local precinct phone number or get through to an operator- it wouldn’t have been anywhere near as quick to do as today. Moreover, the claim that 37/38 people saw everything and chose to do nothing is also a fabrication by the media, as you pointed out. The reality was that some people heard things and didn’t know what it was, and yes, others likely ignored it. But a neighbour came out and held Kitty. Someone did call the police. And later it came out that most people were ear-witnesses and had seen nothing and thought it was a drunken fight. The point of the bystander effect is that it’s not (usually) coming from malice- it’s not people standing around with their thumbs up their asses and laughing as someone is killed, it’s ignorance. It’s people not knowing what to do, thinking someone else is more equipped, figuring someone else is going to take care of calling help, whatever. It’s rarely “fuck this person I ain’t helping them.”
To be clear, I fucking hate the bystander effect. I think it makes people look like fucking cowards. So I’m not saying this to let everyone off the hook- because for sure, there are people out there who are malicious about not helping. They’re just not typically the majority.
Also, if you want to combat this within yourself, take a first aid course. Or if you find yourself thinking, “someone else will probably help,” maybe follow it up with, “why shouldn’t it be me?”
I also dunno how, if cops had even been there at the moment she was being killed, they would have known Kitty was queer, and how that could have possibly factored into the non-existent decision. Her being queer DID affect the subsequent investigation and the cops deserve every bit of criticism for it.
We do have psychological terms that popped up to explain away police behaviour (or someone’s reaction to them)- Stockholm is one of them. Bystander is not.
Health classes really ought to teach people what the beginning stages of addiction are like because a lot of people don’t realize they’re addicted to something until they’re years deep into it.

I’m sorry I didn’t go searching through your blog when you made a post calling something out and then did the exact thing within the post that you were calling out and I found it funny.
my cunt of a fucking mother just triggered a fucking meltdown because she walked into the fucking house bitching the goddamn SECOND she walked in and then fucking makes me feel insane for getting pissed off at her for completely fucking ruining the entire day, which had been going well, and saying shit like “you’re 35 years old!” IM NOT THE FUCKING ONE WHO CHOSE TO START THIS DAY WITH BITCHING AND COMPLAINING AND GETTING ANGRY OVER FUCKING NOTHING AND THEN ACTING SHOCKED WHEN THAT PISSES OFF SOMEONE ELSE.
canadians are such fucking tools. love to claim we’re better than the US but our sheep line up for homophobic chicken just the fucking same as they do. zero principles, zero values. keep giving your money to people who don’t think some of us should even exist and who put their fucking money - the money YOU gave them - to work on getting it done. they can’t even fucking be bothered to NOT do something in order to be a decent person lmfao. it’s literally no effort, and you still can’t clear the bar.
A panel of residential school survivors provided witness testimony on Tuesday to the Permanent Peoples Tribunal, an international independen
WARNING: This story contains details of experiences at residential schools.
Roberta Hill remembers being sent to the Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School in Brantford, Ont., when she was six years old. Although she attended with five of her siblings, including her youngest sister, they were separated upon arrival. "I never saw her again for years after," Hill said. "She was my favourite little sister. So that was the start of the separation and the trauma."

i know folks are gonna call me a pedo for this one, but i grew up seeing my mom and grandma naked. they had health issues and at times needed care and help showering. and i truly think more kids need to be shown the nonsexual reality of naked women at a young age. there is nothing sexual about my grandmothers breasts, they were simply body parts. more women die of heart attacks because people are too afraid of breasts to do real chest compressions, because they are scared to touch their breasts. the sexualization of our bodies literally kills us. i need people to be more normal about naked bodies and i'm 100% serious.
bodies aren’t inherently sexual, there’s literally nothing wrong with this. because I grew up with bodies just being allowed to be bodies (and now that I am chronically ill too), I have no shame about my body or its functions, or anyone else’s.
If you want to desensitise yourself, look at bodies when they’re neutral (real bodies, not shopped or airbrushed or AI’d). Lots of them. I used to edit photos for someone who did genital piercings and after the first few, it’s just another part of a body. Hundreds of genitals in all their shapes and forms, different but the same, just like the rest of our bodies.
hi people with audhd and bad mental health- how do you do things??? i’m so serious i would love some advice
when you get that random and impossible to predict surge of energy is literally the only time I can do anything rn. sometimes it’s in the middle of the night, sometimes morning, sometimes afternoon, and then it doesn’t come back for weeks (for me anyway). try to not be hard on yourself if you can’t Do Things right now. Do them when you can and if you’re able to push yourself to do small tasks, even half or a quarter done, do it without feeling like it’s saying something about YOU. it’s just about your energy and your brain’s ability to become motivated. It’s not a personality flaw.
what people don’t understand about how adhd is disabling is that it’s not just getting temporarily distracted from, like, school work or hobbies. it’s getting distracted/being unable to motivate yourself to go to the doctor, eat regularly, do hygiene tasks, etc. it’s not knowing when or how long it will take you to do something, ANYTHING, and in many cases that thing is taking a shower or keeping your house from turning into a biohazard. it’s about being fundamentally incapable of controlling your attention and focus on anything, even and especially things you need to do to survive.
I sometimes forget something for weeks that I needed to do because it’s not in my line of sight. My grandma moved a bunch of my work shit during covid and I literally forgot it existed. Thanks grandma

Australian senator, Mehreen Faruqi, demands the government to immediately end all arms sales to Israel, calling out its deliberate targeting of Palestinian children.
Faruqi has repeatedly condemned Labour's party complicity, saying "words won't feed them" and demanding real sanctions, not just statements.

I need to know why so many full grown adults are obsessed with other people knowing they were “gifted” in school.
school does not reward intelligence. school rewards working memory and following instruction. why in the fuck would you still use a title given to you by these people? even if the title meant something, you are now an adult. why are you still measuring yourself by a title given to you in elementary school? have you done anything since then?
I can almost guarantee there was someone in your class just as “gifted” as you were but who was never told that because school wasn’t easy for them - it. makes. no. difference. It has no bearing on your life moving forward. Employers are not going to ask if school thought you were gifted.
This is also a huge thing in some autistic spaces - NEEDING people to know that you were diagnosed late because you’re just oh so smart. Why?
Visas being denied to players and their families
Forbidding the iranian team coaches from entering the country and forcing them to direct the game from MEXICO through a tv
Players from non european countries being stopped and searched like criminals with dogs
Deporting african referees just because of their nationality
Forbidding interviews from being spoken i'm languages other than English and forbidding journalists and players from speaking their native languages
And all this just in the first week....
but don’t worry everyone because some europeans are here praising the US so all is good and americans get to feel all warm and cozy by continuing to ignore reality for everyone who isn’t white
"[Y]our Harry Potter games are Cybertrucks" is such a good way to put it.
I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic
