Demand accountability but allow people the chance to make better choices. Public shaming and ostracism is only effective if positive behavioural changes are rewarded with increased social acceptance.

(This does not mean vulnerable people have to put themselves at risk, however.)

When you have a mental illness, that's still your life, and it's the only one you'll ever known. Having something tell you that, not ask you if, your life is much harder because of your diagnosis is... bizarre. Like, I don't think my life is any more difficult than a "neurotypical" person when I'm asymptomatic, which is way more often than not. I think I've accomplished quite a bit, even more than most without any kind of dx period, yet I'm being told things are much harder for me because I have an SMI diagnosis. It's just fucking weird. I think there are a lot of things in life that are hard. I'd like to think my life is hard not because of my body chemistry but because I picked a challenging career and have high educational expectations. I am me. I cannot change that. Maybe my life is harder than most and I have no idea, but if that isn't something I think about on the day to day. So it's really fucking weird to have that brought to my attention.

Now I know what and how you think of me, I guess.

“When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. ‘This is often considered to be man’s first attempt at a calendar’ she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. ‘My question to you is this – what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.’ It was a moment that changed my life. In that second I stopped to question almost everything I had been taught about the past. How often had I overlooked women’s contributions?” ― Sandi Toksvig

y’all ever remember something extremely embarrassing and just feel horrible about it

Pro Tip: Try to think of something embarrassing some else has done. You probably can't. Which means no one else remembers the cringe thing you did.

quarantine feels kinda like that area between christmas and new years where i have no idea what day of the week it is, or if i’m supposed to be going to work. AM and PM blend together. i’ve taken four naps in 10 hours. leftovers are my primary foodsource. got that weird sunday anxiety except it’s every day for the next 2 weeks

Since everyone is reposting it, might as well just post it myself here. This was a commission, believe it or not, someone paid me to draw this.

you want my hot take for the evening? people who dont like complainers just havent been exposed to good complaining, and will never know if they themselves have an inborn talent for the art of kvetching

karrakazz

good complaining is some combination of a) funny, b) animated and theatrical, c) insightful re: human foibles, d) inquiry into social trends and norms.it must ALWAYS involve at least a small degree of self awareness, and is often used to build camaraderie and maintain relationships.

i hate how reward systems never work for me like i can’t just say “if i finish this assignment i can have a cookie” bc my brain is like “…..or u could just have one right now” and i can’t argue with that logic
