The thing about Those White People Baby Names is the way they so poetically express the tension between individuality and rigid conformity. These parents all want to name their child something unique, because they value the concept of uniqueness, yet simultaneously they abhor it in practice… ergo, 30 different spelling variations on the most normative possible names. This homogeneity-masquerading-as-diversity is inseparable from capitalist consumer culture and in fact is directly analogous to the experience of walking into a grocery store and being asked to “choose” between 50 varieties of toothpaste with the same exact ingredients, 12 brands of laundry detergent, etc.

Good article with a bad headline

[frottinq]

Good article with a headline intentionally misrepresenting the point maliciously.

two things: you can absolutely qualify for a ptsd diagnosis in the midst of ongoing, highly likely retraumatization, see: sexual trauma and the people most vulnerable to it. also it seems disingenuous of a mental health-based bureaucrat to bring up the concept of aunthenticity considering their choice of profession. like not to be cynical but we literally have this thread re: civilians & ptsd every week comrades

[cannibality-deactivated20250227]

I feel like this response is working from the assumption that Dr Jabr is arguing that Palestinians (or anyone else) who are in the midst of an ongoing traumatic situation isn’t “authentically” traumatised by the stress of what they’re going through. That is not at all what she’s arguing. Instead, she’s arguing that post-traumatic stress disorder treats that retraumatisation as a constant and measures the individual’s response to it as pathological. She’s explicitly repoliticising our response to what is otherwise interpreted as an individual aberration.
