I'm randomly missing Borders rn for some reason. Don't get me wrong, I love Barnes & Noble, but Borders hit differently.

Honestly, Tumblr rn feels like the only wholeome space on the internet.

The cultural theorist Mark Fisher noticed the link between neoliberal ideology and the changing face of psychiatry, describing the shift towards individual illness framings during this period as just another form of privatisation: the privatisation of stress. Fisher saw biological psychiatry as politically convenient to neoliberal capitalism, because it pinned distress on our brains in the form of ‘chemical imbalances’, rather than our social or material conditions. If we look at, for example, the framing of the workers’ struggle since the dawn of neoliberalism, we can see evidence of this ‘privatisation’. Over recent decades, strike days have fallen while working days lost to ‘stress-related illness’ have skyrocketed. Biological psychiatry has provided us with a lens of analysis that ignores political disorder in favour of individual disorder.

How is everyone fine with just completely sleepwalking into the slow and insidious assimilation of A.I. into every aspect of our existence? Am I insane for feeling shit scared about it?

The Trans Legal Survival Guide 2.0

Updated in July 2025, the American Trans Legal Survival Guide 2.0 covers critical areas such as healthcare access, anti-discrimination protections, family law, immigration, criminal records, and end-of-life planning.

The guide explains how federal and state laws impact trans people differently, especially under increasing political hostility. It offers practical advice on securing gender-affirming care, changing legal documents, protecting parental rights, and responding to Child Protective Services investigations.

It also addresses travel challenges, especially for trans immigrants, and provides strategies for finding missing loved ones and correcting criminal record errors.

The guide emphasizes the importance of knowing your rights and taking proactive steps to reduce legal vulnerability. It includes state-specific resources and directories for legal assistance, and highlights tools like healthcare proxies, advance directives, and guardianship documents to safeguard personal autonomy.

The guide is published by Advocates for Trans Equality, an organization that fights for the legal and political rights of transgender people in America.

The most revolutionary act of resistance in our contemporary age is to be kind to each other

“If you are not like everybody else, then you are abnormal; if you are abnormal, then you are sick. These three categories, not being like everybody else, not being normal and being sick are in fact very different but have been reduced to the same thing.”

— Michel Foucault, Abnormal, 1974.

“Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.”

— Michel Foucault.

The things bullies say or do don’t define who I am and they don’t define you either. It’s easy to believe the hurtful words, but those words come from a place of someone else's pain, not your worth. I’m learning to hold on to the things that make me strong and valuable, and I hope you can too.
