Hi this is your reminder that there is no such thing as The One True Cause and if people are trying to tell you otherwise then they have an agenda that your wellbeing isn’t part of

Post inspired by this, which infuriated me

Snappy take: People like this becoming therapists is a huge part of why I’m skittish about therapy.

Elaboration: I’ve noticed a really troubling trend of therapists openly declaring that they “center” certain abstract groups in their treatment, rather than centering, you know, the patient. And like – it’s fine if you only feel capable of dealing with black issues, or trans issues, or Jewish issues. Specialization is okay. But you should be professionally bound not to take on patients you do not feel you can center. No matter who you are, no matter how privileged, you deserve healthcare providers who will focus on the person in front of them and not treat your existence as incidental to some broader goal.

“White supremacy is a force that offers you comfort in the face of mental illness and trauma” is, like, maybe not such a good take, in my opinion.

[morlock-holmes]

Okay, like, anybody can call themselves anything on the internet, but this is such a dumb take for a therapist. Police also abuse the mentally ill. The current protests offer an opportunity for solidarity and joint emancipation of many different disadvantaged people from systemic abuse by the police.

Aggressive instigation of violence by the police is not a source of safety or comfort to the mentally ill, it is a source of danger and instability.

There’s no reason at all not to make that a positive incentive, and emphasize the way even small acts of participation can be understood as part of an effort to assert your worth, your control over your own life, and your ability to make positive change in the world.

To ignore that and take a negative stance, to say that white supremacy is a useful and successful coping tool that you’d be strong enough to abandon if you were a good person is, pardon the irony, insane.

god every time i see these videos of white americans kneeling in front of police lines trying to live up to some warped idpol-christian idea of repentant justice i get so fucking mad because below the line of the equator any dumbass that tries that shit gets their shit knocked but meanwhile up north y’all could be throwing down and instead choose not to. think about all the fucking shit we deal with, be grateful that you dont and FUCK SHIT UP

[los-ninos-rojos-deactivated2025]

what i mean is:

police in rio de janeiro kill more in a year than the lapd does in a decade. that’s right. these people make american cops look like boy scouts.

but even in the middle of a pandemic, we are fighting back. anti-fascist marches planned for this sunday will be also protesting (god, and how many things there are to protest in this shithole) police violence and the genocide of the black youth.

while we are used to dealing with probably one of the world’s most violent riot cops (thanks to americans, i found out this week deploying teargas on a civilian population is actually a war crime, despite having inhaled it numerous times against my will), it actually is disheartening to see people in the first world think it’s a matter of changing hearts and minds.

i don’t mean all of this in a moralistic way, like, you shouldn’t feel bad for us. but i do mean it in the sense that – and i can’t really think of it in other terms – your hatred of police strengthens our hate, and vice-versa. what made the riots after george floyd’s murder notable in brazil and all over the world wasn’t that they were large, but that they were ferocious. in the end, what starts to dissolve colonial distinctions between “you” and “us” is not us acting the same, but all of us together burning this world to the fucking ground.

“For years mental health professionals taught people that they could be psychologically healthy without social support, that “unless you love yourself, no one else will love you.”…The truth is, you cannot love yourself unless you have been loved and are loved. The capacity to love cannot be built in isolation”

executive dysfunction be like *wants to do something* *doesnt do it* *feels bad* *wants to do something* *doesnt do it* *feels bad* *wants to do something* *doesnt do it* *feels ba

[o-v-e-r-w-h-e-l-m-e-d]

I recently learnt that executive dysfunction can be broken down into two main categories: anxiety that your attempt won't be satisfactory, or confusion about where to start or how to break it down into steps. As much as we feel bad about it, it's extremely important to remember that it is NOT laziness and we in fact shouldn't feel bad.

When I was in school, English teachers would lose their shit over students who would summarize instead of analyze whatever they were reporting on. Years later, in the age of film theorist/dissector/reviewer YouTube channels, I have inherited that fury

[zoobus]

I watched an hour long video about clowns in horror, which could have been interesting

Instead it was someone rattling off the plot descriptions of tv/film horror with clowns in them, occasionally interjecting whether he liked it, with very little explanation as to why. His analysis almost feels like non-sequiturs, they feel so unconnected

He brings up "The Tale Of The Ghastly Grinner" from Are You Afraid of the Dark as bad example

Okay, that's fine, I've never watched the show! What's wrong with it? Well.

"This episode is troublesome because it's not a morality tale, there isn't a lesson to be learned here. The Ghastly Grinner enters these children's lives for no reason and it just kind of says that evil just exists, that there was nothing you did to bring this upon you but here it is nonetheless and you just have to deal with it. And for me, that's a very existential concept to play with in a children's show."

Now you might be asking "hmm, that sounds very interesting and cool and not at all 'troublesome.' Why does a lack of a lesson make this story bad? What does he mean by it being very existential?"

I don't know because after his summary and one sentence opinion, he starts talking about clowns on Seinfeld. That's it. He's done.

No depth, no questioning. This happened and then this happened and then this happened. I think it was good/bad. This is what 90% of YouTube film theory is

Shares of UnitedHealth Group Inc. plunged toward their worst day in nearly 9 years Monday, as the narrative around a potential Bernie Sanders nomination may have swung to negative from positive following the senator’s surprisingly big win in Nevada.

Other health insurer stocks also took deeper dives than the broader stock market in afternoon trading. Shares of Centene Corp. CNC, -5.73% , which provides programs and services to government-sponsored health-care programs, plunged 9.4%.

UnitedHealth’s stock UNH, -5.18% sank 7.8%, to pace the losers in the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -3.15% , which dropped 1,032 points, or 3.6%. The selloff was the biggest one-day decline since Aug. 8, 2011, when it dropped 8.0%. The stock has now shed 9.0% amid a 3-day losing streak since it closed at a record $305.31 on Feb. 19.

Sanders’ resounding victory in Nevada, after winning New Hampshire earlier in the month, cemented him as the front-runner ahead of South Carolina’s primary on Saturday and so-called Super Tuesday next week.

Although Sanders is an advocate for “Medicare for All,” which would be a significant negative for private health insurers, his previous primary victories were seen as good for insurers, as Wall Street did not believe Sanders could beat Trump in a general election. But the manner of his victory in Nevada may have spooked investors.

“Are the rising odds of a Sanders nomination a negative catalyst for the sector (given his health-care views) or a positive catalyst as odds-makers boost Trump’s re-election chances?” wrote JPMorgan analyst Gary Taylor in a note to clients. “We think most health-care investors cite the latter but actually fear the former; which will render sentiment volatile and ephemeral over the next several months.”

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods managing director Brian Gardner said that while he agrees with the market’s previous assessment that Sanders’ surge favors Trump, he acknowledged that “conventional wisdom was against Donald Trump in 2016 much like it is sour on Mr. Sanders’ chances now.”…

“We have repeatedly heard from investors that they believe a Sanders nomination should be seen as a boost to the re-election of President Trump and/or a boost to Republicans winning full control of Congress,” wrote Raymond James Washington policy analysts, led by Ed Mills. “We continue to view this election as Trump’s to lose, but it is far closer than the market perception.”
