Look, I’m a man of simple tastes, but I’m pretty sure these would match everything in my wardrobe.
saw a post the other day that said that psych survivors were overexaggerating and fearmongering for saying that people should be aware that having diagnoses on your record can be a danger + impede your life. and the more i think about it the more annoyed i am. because i think people need to know that there are exceptions to health privacy laws that can make having psych diagnoses and psych hospitalization history on your record risky depending on your circumstances. diagnoses follow you through your health interactions-you do not have to consent to have your information shared between providers. judicial proceedings are also an exception to the HIPAA privacy rule, so for things like custody battles, guardianship, getting orders of protection--the court can petition for medical records. there's so many other situations where even if they can't legally access your information without your authorization, people will require you to disclose diagnoses, records, previous hospitalizations and refuse to give you services/hire you/whatever unless you share that information with them. for example in many states anyone (a provider, a cop, friends and family) can disclose that you have certain psych diagnoses like bipolar to the DMV which then might require that you undergo drivers license review as frequently as every 3 months. my university is actively trying to kick me out right now because i had to disclose my medical record, psych diagnoses, and hospitalization history to them as a requirement to stay enrolled.
and i don't want to scare people or make people think that having a diagnosis on their records is automatically going to mean that it is weaponized against us. because i do know plenty of people who have never faced issues with their records. but i do expect that the community supports the people speaking out about the ways that we have been harmed by diagnoses creating barriers to accessing necessary parts of our life. instead of attacking us or saying that we're lying about things we are currently experiencing.
also we /have/ to talk about these things so that other disabled people can make actual, informed decisions about whether to pursue a diagnosis or not, or tell the truth to their doctors or not in a given circumstances... like, the doctors do not tell you about all the downsides to having something on stigmatized in your health records. in an overwhelming majority of cases doctors aren’t actually aware how this would impact their patients’ lives because there is nothing in their training that prepares doctors for the real lived experience of disabled people once those patients leave their office. and it’s not like doctors are in the habit of like, listening to disabled people, so how the fuck would they find out?
like nobody’s got us but us... it was psych survivors who saved my life and continue to save my life as i’m forced to engage w/ the medical system to beg for my life. you know, like. contsantly. it was psych survivors who taught me to take a witness to the doctor, who showed me what pitfalls / buzzwords to avoid bringing up at all, and it was psych survivors who helped me figure out which things it would actually benefit me to have on my record given the potential risks (for example, my learning disability stuff i was so reticent to have documented and it has caused me grief but it’s worth it for me bc i want to go to grad school in a couple years, and it will allow me to fight for accommodations)
stop trying to shut us up
pleeeeeeeease indie web and scenecore and whatever other subcultures.... have fun and be cringe but PLEASE be careful with your blinkies. if your website has flashing lights that are on by default or that can't be turned off, then it is inaccessible to photosensitive people. if your post has flashing lights, it needs to be tagged. PLEASE. i love indie web stuff but the prevalence of unavoidable flashing lights makes me really anxious!! people have migraines and seizures! please use tags like "flashing lights" and "eye strain," NOT "epilepsy" or "epilepsy warning," and please consider making your site accessible by removing flashing lights or making them avoidable. PLEASE. make the web usable for photosensitive people.
I HATE YOU SUPREME COURT!!!

happy summer to dykes in tank tops and basketball shorts, goths who's makeup is melting, little kids catching frogs and fireflies, guys who just bring their guitar everywhere now, 13 yr olds very obviously in their emo phase during a family vacation, gas station employees, old people sitting on porches, and dogs swimming at the beach
We failed as a society when everyone stopped wearing headphones.
If you guys want my tinfoil hat theory I think the removal of aux ports was the obvious catalyst but the phone designers never added them back to new models because that along with the combination of unskippable ads and tiktok brainrot means advertising can constantly flood your senses. Especially when it use to be considered socially unacceptable to go anywhere without headphones or earbuds. Anytime you tell people to turn things down or off, especially in spaces where it's inappropriate to play loud sounds and be disruptive, they act so offended as well. Like Bridget read a room this is a fucking hospital it's not time for thirst traps of k-pop stars.
yesterday i was hiking with my dog and passed by a family with their 14 yo princess of darkness trotting behind them in very unsuitable clothes and uncomfortable shoes that clearly weren't meant to get dirty on forest mud. oh the quintessential teenage experience of doing something in a way that is stupid and sucks because it's important that it's your own way 🫡
The experience of being a teenager, especially, is relentlessly being forced to do things by authority figures who have arbitrary power over you. As a result "Okay, I'll do it, but I'll do it in the least compliant way possible" is a persistent and entirely sympathetic element of being a teenager
Okay as someone who professionally works with kids, I'll weigh on on this and say: the thing about defiance and "brattiness" is they are defense mechanisms for having no power in your life.
Kids and teens do not have power in their life. Even in the most ideal of circumstances. They can't really make informed choices about voting or houses and especially in America, the entire social structure is hostile to letting them go where they want to go.
So OP is absolutely right and put it beautifully. "it's important that it's your own way." I've seen preverbal babies force their shoes off their feet in response to a completely unrelated obligation because I can force them to take a nap but I can't make them take a nap AND nicely keep their shoes on. It is arguably a pretty stupid defiance, but defiance isn't about being smart.
It's the scream of a person without power insisting if they have no choice but to do this, they will do it their way! And that's more important than practicality. It's more important than being reasonable.
I firmly believe that deep down adults aren't less bratty or defiant than kids are- they're just given more leeway and power so they're more used to having control and use that to cope. The average 30-year-old would absolutely have a meltdown in the pasta aisle if they were regularly dragged to places they didn't want to be by another adult who they were never allowed to be away from or choose where they were going besides very limited exceptions.
(also disclaimer that in using the term "bratty" I am by no means condemning this behavior. It's born of a frustration that is completely understandable.)
i also need you to understand, that experience you’re describing in that second to last paragraph, is the literal lived experience of many disabled adults who have their agency continually denied by virtue of being unable to drive, or needing assistance with something, or being too ill to sell their bodies to in exchange for rent money. so when you see a disabled person being defiant, i expect you to applaud them equally.
sometimes instead of a horrid little monk, divine visions of lesbians dance in my head dispensing wisdom
[Image ID: Twelve-panel pen and ink comic. In the first panel, a hairy dyke sweats and blushes in embarrassment as they lift weights at the gym while bystanders glare at them in disgust.
In the second panel, the dyke stands alone wearing a towel, about to enter the bathroom.
In the third panel, they raise a razor to their very hairy leg. A speech bubble interrupts them. It reads: “Just what do you think you’re doing?”
In the forth panel, the dyke gasps and looks over their shoulder in surprise. Their ass is out.
In the fifth panel, the dyke exclaims: “Who… who are you?!” to the five saintly apparitions hovering above them, crowned with halos and garbed in masculine styles from various time periods.
In the sixth panel, the first apparition speaks: “We are the Butches of Ages Past. We appear to you now in your hour of need.”
In the seventh panel, the second apparition says: “We saw that you were about to succumb to societal pressure to shave your legs.”
In the eighth panel, the hairy dyke looks down shamefully at their razor and whines, “People keep staring at me like I’m a walking infection…”
In the ninth panel, all five apparitions shout “DEAL WITH IT!” in unison.
In the tenth panel, the third apparition says: “You wear your stigma with pride and don’t flinch or look back. That’s the way it is done, friend.”
In the eleventh panel, the first apparition places her hand upon the dyke’s shoulder and asks: “If you don’t dyke this place up, who will?” The dyke adopts a determined expression and exclaims: “You’re right!”
In the twelve and final panel, the dyke is back at the gym, lifting a large weight and smirking in smug and wicked pleasure at the alarmed expressions of other patrons. Their legs are still very hairy. Above them a video game-like marker floats in the air and reads: “Mission: DYKE THIS PLACE UP!!!!!”]

hi everyone. does anybody else miss something they can never return to. anyone else being swallowed whole by grief. anyone else clinging to love as a life preserver
“When I first heard it, from a dog trainer who knew her behavioral science, it was a stunning moment. I remember where I was standing, what block of Brooklyn’s streets. It was like holding a piece of polished obsidian in the hand, feeling its weight and irreducibility. And its fathomless blackness. Punishment is reinforcing to the punisher. Of course. It fit the science, and it also fit the hidden memories stored in a deeply buried, rusty lockbox inside me. The people who walked down the street arbitrarily compressing their dogs’ tracheas, to which the poor beasts could only submit in uncomprehending misery; the parents who slapped their crying toddlers for the crime of being tired or hungry: These were not aberrantly malevolent villains. They were not doing what they did because they thought it was right, or even because it worked very well. They were simply caught in the same feedback loop in which all behavior is made. Their spasms of delivering small torments relieved their frustration and gave the impression of momentum toward a solution. Most potently, it immediately stopped the behavior. No matter that the effect probably won’t last: the reinforcer—the silence or the cessation of the annoyance—was exquisitely timed. Now. Boy does that feel good.”
— Melissa Holbrook Pierson, The Secret History of Kindness (2015)

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate
BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard to get rid of it!

Where do I copy-paste these to? "My filters"? "My Rules"?
'my filters'! if you look closely you'll notice the format is different between the two pages. the (website)(##)(additional text) format goes in filters
