After jerking me around for two weeks the doctor finally has okayed me to admit to inpatient Wednesday to get the bloodwork and EKG to make sure I'm healthy enough for ECT treatment and if I am, we start Friday.

Between trying to figure out how to manage my OCD in an inpatient environment and the actual ECT I'm... kind of terrified.

Wish me luck, I guess.

with love. you have to fact check shit. yes you. you still have to fact check shit. a lot of people are great at fact checking stuff they don’t want to be true, but somehow are still absolute ass at fact checking stuff that’s rhetorically convenient to them. even people my age, who I KNOW grew up doing internet/bibliography literacy workshops, and being warned not to believe anything that isn’t reliably sourced, people who DO harp on fact checking conservative output or whatever, are still kneejerk sharing unsourced shit that is partially or wholly untrue or misleading, because it suits whatever narrative they’re pursuing in that moment, without even a “take this with a grain of salt”. fact check!!!!!! look at the sources!!!!! yes it’s a drag!!! do it!!!!!

[mapswithoutwyoming]

a reminder that "you should probably fact check that" is not an attack on your beliefs. if it's true then you have nothing to lose from fact checking it. and if it's false? you have everything to gain from fact checking it

I'm gonna start saying "especially non binary ppl" when talking about trans issues. Trans people are really struggling, especially non binary ppl, because we're treated like jokes and freaks in our own communities. I'm kind of sick and tired of things being "especially" about everyone else but us

[transandrogyny--turtlebug]

Non binary people are treated like the scapegoats of the trans community, everything is our fault. We're too loud, to assertive, too annoying, too cringe. Too out there, we are visibly trans a lot of the time, and that pisses people the fuck off because we like it and it's a part of our gender identity and expression. We are just as oppressed and face just as much violence as everyone else

[ghostboyravenight-deactivated20]

Hate it when people say “these new laws in place affect all trans people especially [insert binary identity]” when literally trans laws don’t even include non-binary people in the first place. Inaccessibility to gender affirming care affects all trans people, especially non-binary people who aren’t even allowed access anyway if they’re not going through a binary transition. Bathroom bills affect all trans people, especially non-binary people because there are still only two gendered bathroom that they’re forced to use, both of which are potentially hostile because not every non-binary person can or wants to pass as a binary gender. Enforced gender markers affect all trans people, especially non-binary people because they either have to pick a gender marker that misgenders them or they have to take the risk of using the very visibly trans marker “X” which could put them in danger of harassment and discrimination by any official who chooses to target them.

Like, it feels like the current goals for trans liberation have returned to such a binary place, which means non-binary people are left out entirely despite being so targeted by anti-trans legislation that they’re written out of basic human rights laws more than any other trans person.

The doctor who does the ECT keeps pushing my admission to inpatient to start off (more emergent cases, no beds available, etc) and I'm just stunned at how inaccessible ECT is proving to be here. This is apparently the only hospital in the area that does it. I don't know how much longer I can do this.

“start your free trial now” what if i told u i am already experiencing trials. and the cost is more than i can bear

[cassettecolonthree]

i think therapy as a psuedo-deific force in the more modern generations worldview is really exemplied in like. how people will say to you "youre a freak, go to therapy" and when you say "actually ive talked to my therapist abt this and theyve told me its a good way to process my issues" and they respond "well youre therapist is feeding into your mental illness and needs to have thier license revoked 😡😡😡 thats not real therapy." and it becomes very clear they are not thinking of the material realities of therapy as a interaction and dynamic, and more of Therapy as a nebulous "make you normal" genie.

Like voidpunk, maybe? I'm not particularly knowledgeable about that.

I don't think so, honestly I got the idea it was part of some discourse, which means I'm probably better off not knowing.

Also, on the way to be evaluated for ECT, there was a fucking giant religious billboard sign mourning the loss of Ch//arlie Kir/k along the road. Only in PA.
