episodes of paranoia, delusions, and dissociation

cyclical thoughts/spirals

magical thinking

extreme, deep, dreadful fear of things that can't truly be explained

disconnect between emotional and cognitive/logical responses or thoughts

contamination fears

problems with addiction and dopamine regulation

other people trying to force exposure therapy onto you without your consent and it making your anxiety way worse

Assad Zaman and Delainey Hayles on the preview of the first episode of After Dark

[azspot]

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[ghiacomo]

This pridemonth let's celebrate and uplift MAINLAND LATINE trans people just as much as the diaspora. Y'all love to talk about latinoamérica and transness here without having ever walked a kilometer in our shoes!!

Today's trans person of the day is Mariela Muñoz! The first trans woman to be given an ID matching her gender in Argentina. She was known for being an adoptive mother to 26 children and grandmother to 30.

Here are pictures of apearances of her on magazines and newspapers, as her case was very well known.
