Hi speaking of medical literacy for trans people, transfems pls check out the website Transfeminine Science, especially their introductory article on feminizing HRT

I just think maybe you should stop making definitive claims about the "innate human need" for x immaterial thing. It's not really provable. I get what you're trying to get at but you can just word it differently and it'll be more accurate.

[soup-mother]

Humans don't have a "need" for those things either. Again, u should maybe just stop describing most things as innate human needs. It is incredibly hard to quantify psychological "needs". Humans do not have a "need" for community and plants. Humans have a need for oxygen and food and water and that's kinda about where u can comfortably draw the line.

[soup-mother]

But like genuinely. "humans have an innate need for spirituality" should be pretty transparently a reactionary opinion. It's simply not true and equates something that some people get benefit from with it being a fundamental aspect of being human (and one that is missing it most people today). You gonna start arguing "children *need* fathers or they grow up broken" next?

[imsobadatnicknames2]

The most annoying part is when you try to push back on it and they respond by reframing mundane things such as making art or enjoying nature or participating in community as inherently ~spiritual~ experiences so they can say you only disagree because your concept of spirituality is too narrowminded and shaped by organized religion or some shit.

"Australian National Spheroid" sounds like the name of a building in Canberra. They love calling everything up there the "national" so and so

[txttletale]

imagine a german going "haha we all have that friendship we remember with the stoicism of an operation barbarossa veteran" thats literally what that post and any other post deploying the 'vietnam vet' as an unermarkable comedy archetype sounds like if you know anything at all about the invasion of vietnam

[txttletale]

it does drive me a little crazy just a little how casually usamericans will invoke vietnam war veterans as like, a cultural archetype. On account of knowing what the vietnam war actually entailed and all

It is wild when you start doing any research at all into the efficacy of different psychotherapeutic modalities and like 90% of the studies say: "CBT is by far the most practiced and widely available form of therapy and it essentially does nothing". But its cheap and easy and fits society's perception of what therapy is for so it just keeps getting touted as an effective intervention.

[athousandgateaux]

Also kind of crazy that like CBT is studied WAY more than any other therapy modality, by a huge margin, and almost all the studies on its efficacy are like: "CBT is about as effective as just talking about your problems with someone who listens and is empathetic, and pretty much all of the positive benefits of CBT can be attributed to having a dedicated person to talk to". And yet the conclusion is still: "CBT is the best and we should be giving it to everybody for everything!!"

[athousandgateaux]

Like, it's so clearly a self-perpetuating system? CBT is one of the most common and widely available forms of therapy because its cheap and easy and requires very little training to administer and also neatly aligns with the goals and values of neoliberal society -> CBT is widely studied because it is the most commonly available form of therapy for people to access, and thus it is easier to study because there is a large pool of practitioners/clients to draw from -> studies of CBT are not adequately compared to studies of other forms of therapy (even other forms of talk therapy) because there aren't enough studies/data on other modalities to compare to -> studies of CBT claim that its an effective modality because its more effective than doing literally nothing, and comparison to other modalities is lacking -> studies claiming the effectiveness of CBT are used to justify administering more CBT to more people, creating a larger available pool of practitioners/patients to study, and on and on and on.

At least the army doesn’t take the money creators could have made. And is also not stealing anyone’s content. ^^

[mathematikerin-freyja]

I think it would be really wonderful if seagulls were constructed more like bottles with a mystery inside. What I'm imagining is that were you to catch one, you could then unscrew its face and there would be a glowing gem nestled in some sort of socket. The Core of the Gull so to speak. Then you could swap that around with other seagulls, and after screwing the faces back on they would fly off as if nothing happened. Hm... Is this too esoteric, or do some of you see what I am getting at?

In something of a play on men thinking that ⅓ of a group being women is female dominated, yankees will see a space that's only about 50% yank and go "it's an american website, what do you expect?" and try and bully out everyone who isn't them. The progressive ones do this just as much as the right wing ones.

[soup-mother]

In order to exist on this website it is necessary to cultivate a mindset of unrestricted, prolonged and often arbitrary blocking of the american userbase.
