The main counter point I see on the gifted kids discourse can be boiled down to “I was a gifted kid don’t disregard my trauma” and tbh that’s valid I think it’s true school messed everyone up but y’all have to admit you have aesthetized your trauma and made it a defining part of your personality and relish in it instead of think through and connecting with people who were UNLIKE you in school. Instead of being like “damn my dehumanization as a tool for the school is connected to your educational neglect” and “damn I didn’t realize that while I was struggling with self worth issues you are too” because we have more in common with one another then our teachers wanted us to believe, they just hunker down into their world of “gifted pain”.

Talk about your stupid experiences sure no one cares but if you can’t contextualize your experience or see how your position was privileged at the EXPENSE of others, what the fuck are we doing here? What can get done??

"don't be so america-centric 🙄 our racial categories and system are so different" and then it turns out theyre talking about a country with rampant anti-blackness and/or are a colony on sovereign indigenous land

isn't it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators...

schizophrenic person: makes a post trying to raise awareness about the disproportionate abuse and harmful stereotypes schizophrenic people face

yall: "yeah im not gonna reblog this they used the word ins*ne which is so problematic ://"

[truth-spatter]

What the fuck happens that changes these stats to such a massive degree?

[catgirlapologist]

1) schizophrenia hardly ever causes people to be violent so schizophrenic people aren’t more likely to be violent than anyone else

2) schizophrenic people’s autonomy is often taken away from them because of their schizophrenia. because the authorities and mental healthcare providers often automatically assume schizophrenic people to be violent, they’re more likely to immediately react to schizophrenic people's symptoms with violence, without even knowing for sure said schizophrenic person was going to be violent. all of this causes schizophrenic people to be more likely of being victims of violence and abuse. schizophrenic people also have a harder time getting out of abusive households because of the risk of their autonomy being taken away. if a schizophrenic person’s relative or partner is abusive, often the schizophrenic person has no way out of the situation, both because our disconnect from reality can result in us being easier to manipulate, and because the system is built in a way that it takes away our autonomy because of our condition.

[catgirlapologist]

also schizophrenic people and psychotic people in general, please do a lot of research before picking a provider for your own sake, and if they try to treat your psychosis in a way that you think is harmful then don’t hesitate to switch providers. your safety and wellbeing should be a priority over everything else.

can y'all please reblog this version instead

so i just realized… in spiderverse, the whole “leap of faith” thing really takes a different meaning when you remember miles didn’t really have a problem taking a leap in the beginning of the movie. he had to psych himself up for it, but he did try. he heard mj’s speech and read some comics, and he jumped off that building to test his mettle. but he failed and crashed to the sidewalk, hard, ended up breaking the goober. that’s what causes him to lose faith in himself and makes him think he “can’t do this” without peter parker: he has tried, and he messed it up.

when you remember that, peter b telling him that being spider-man is “a leap of faith” isn’t a lesson about miles needing to find his courage in the first place, it becomes a lesson about finding the strength to try something again after you’ve failed it already. or in the movie’s words, it becomes a lesson about “getting back up.”

Celebrities really need to start checking their stans. You have people harassing, doxxing, and threatening people in your name. Why aren't you saying anything

its so frustrating to see these white leftist youtubers—and they are ALWAYS white—posting videos abt ‘in defense of twilight’ ‘in defense of harry potter’ ‘in defense of any popular ip that’s just mega bigoted nd never had to answer for it’ bc they’re trying to be quirky nd contrarian when it’s like…………are you stupid? ppl have complaints abt that shit bc the authors are fucking bigots there’s no meaningless progressive language you can spin to make me think we were wrong abt twilight

recently saw a tiktoker talk about an ongoing case and say (direct quote) “we are literally watching a true crime documentary unfold before our very eyes” and that really sums up a lot of the criticisms I have about the way people talk about and consume true crime content. people are already twisting real peoples deaths into its potential future entertainment value for them before the family even has time to grieve

Uh??? The facts abt ur parents??? Whadda hell would u be open to doing more facts abt ur wild parents bc I love them

Sure! They’re very weird.

My dad regularly sings to my mom about how much he loves her while standing exactly in the way of whatever she’s trying to do

My parents didn’t marry until I was 4 and they regularly forget that they’re spouses. They generally refer to themselves as partners

My mom proposed to my dad by yelling at him from a room away that her taxes were fucked and they had to get married to which my father replied “this is how I always dreamed you’d ask me!” and pretending to swoon

My dad appears as an actor in the movie Swoon, supposedly an important piece of queer cinema 

My parents were both punks in their youth

When I came home for thanksgiving with a mohawk, unannounced, my mom started crying because I looked “so handsome” and “just like your dad” and kept petting my head 

My dad only says “that’s my boy” to me when I say something gay about men

My mom and dad have the same taste in women but opposite taste in men

One time we were watching a movie set in Chicago and my mom turned to my dad, and in the most sentimental mom voice, said “Chicago honey! We haven’t been there since the anarchist convention!” 

My dad worked on California’s weed legalization bill

Corvids have a basic grasp of the theory of mind - the ones who hide their food will remember who saw them bury it, and will come back to stash it elsewhere when they know they’re no longer watched. They are vaguely aware that others are also capable of thinking and planning, and anticipate that another bird would seize the treasure later, if ever given the opportunity.

Many corvids also mate for life. They have foods they prefer more than others, and it has been discovered that they can also know and remember their partner’s favourites, and bring those treats to each other, even if they personally don’t care for this food source.

Is that love? A crow cannot be forced to do something it does not want to do, they do as they please and it pleases them to bring gifts to their partners. What is love but joy that stems from the joy of another?

Do they know what love is? A jackdaw knows that another jackdaw it can see has seen it in return - do they know that a spouse that brings them treats does it as a treat to themselves as well?

Do these birds know what love is? Do they know that they love, and are loved in return?
