My meme-ish poster about executive dysfunction, or "The Sits" as we call it in our house. This is to share my experiences with exec. dysfunction, everyone's a little different ☺️

I say that I hate what the internet has done to the word triggered and people think it's because the word has been divorced from its original purpose to describe trauma and PTSD when what I really mean is that I hate that the internet has erased the fact the word triggered was and continues to used not just in mental health spaces but also in general medical spaces to refer to any symptom of ANYTHING that can be set off by outside factors.

Now you've got people with conditions like OCD, autism, ADHD, allergies, chronic pain, seizures, etc who are told by one group of people that triggers are a joke and an insult and then told by the "correct" and "good" people that triggers are exclusive to trauma and no one should use them if they aren't referring to actual PTSD flashbacks or massive panic attacks and now other ill and disabled people are missing a vital term to describe their experiences because they think they're not allowed to use it.

[wiisagi-maiingan]

Like c'mon, in allergy spaces foods with allergens are literally referred to as trigger foods and you've still got "mental health activists" online insisting that you can only say you've been triggered by something if you have PTSD. That isn't advocacy for traumatized people, it's ableism that is stealing important language from EVERYONE.

[wiisagi-maiingan]

ALSO triggers are not necessarily major or severe. You can be triggered and have it not ruin your entire day or week. In a lot of cases, you can learn coping methods to be able to experience a trigger and move on; obviously that's different with things like seizures or allergies, but many other triggers can be handled and only have minor impacts on someone.

I can work through most of my migraine and pain triggers, though I probably shouldn't. I have learned to breathe through my anxiety and OCD triggers. My delusions were triggered BAD last night and I am surviving, even if I kinda wish I wasn't.

Triggers can be major and severe, but many of them are just. Frustrating or a brief thing you take a moment to work through or even a mild inconvenience. Ideally, for mental health triggers, you WANT to turn them into a mild inconvenience and figure out management and coping methods to make that happen.

One of the hardest things to learn as a leftist is that there are a lot self proclaimed leftists that are actually totally cool with abusive social systems, they just don’t like that they’re the ones being abused. The solution to male supremacy isn’t woman supremacy, it’s no supremacy. The supremacy is the bad part. This line of thinking is how you get TERFS and the NOI

you should have seen me a couple of years ago!

[razzmothazz]

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

The thing about the destiel news meme is that I actually think it's great.

It does let you know that something has gone on in the world. But it's such a short format that it could never even pretend to give you all the relevant information about that thing. It usually provides less detail than the average headline, so it's not actually reporting, it's more like shouting a head's up across a crowded room. Still lets you know that something has happened though.

The very fact that it's a goofy and irreverent fandom meme also serves as a perpetual reminder that using social media to get news is a bad idea. Now that you know something has occurred, go read an actual article from a real source to verify it and get the details. It's an alert system with a format that never lets you forget that alerts are not articles, and that this website is not beholden to any kind of journalistic integrity.

I love it, the comments on destiel news memes are almost always full of people saying that they saw it and then rushed off to go verify the news with a reputable source. Do you know how often more "serious" format news stuff on this site just leaves people complacently certain that they've been given accurate info? Way too often. I wish half as many of those news updates had people commenting that they left tumblr to go double check it.
