if your vision of communist society is one in which the disabled have to rely on the goodwill of others to live that vision sucks

psychiatrists: You can’t stop this medication cold turkey. You need to stay on your meds no matter what. If you don’t stay on your meds I won’t treat you as my patient anymore

psychiatrists when you need your meds refilled: yeah I can do that in about 10 business days. oh you need it right now? or you’re going to end up hospitalized? meh I don’t care. good luck idiot

new dnd character: the former omelas kid

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

the omelas kid background doesn’t give you any special bonuses apart from being able to shut down a lot of arguments by bringing up the fact that you used to be the omelas kid

[txttletale]

generally speaking i just dont get why so many people don't just google things. so often i will see people on mine and other people's posts being weird and aggressive about not knowing what a thing mentioned in them is or having some other comprehension issue that could be solved by googling it

Choose-Your-Own-Punchline

You are a new sailor on a cargo ship. Your first day goes fine - standard assignment of quarters, meeting the crew, nothing abnormal. That is, until after dinner, when the crew all quieten down in expectation. One sailor says:

"Thirty-two!"

And the entire crew bursts into laughter. After a moment, another continues:

"Six!"

This time, they laugh even more uproariously. Confused, you ask the sailor next to you what's going on, and he replies:

"We've been on this crew for so long that we already know every joke anyone tells, so we assigned them each numbers. That way, you don't waste as much time telling them!"

With the explanation given, focus returns to the jokes. After a few, the sailor turns to you again and says,

"Alright, now it's your go. Go on, give it a try."

Do you:

Say "Seventeen!"

Say "Forty-nine!"

Say "Eighty-six!"

reminder that fatphobia is not simply a deep-seated hatred for fat people. It is the pathologization of a body type. you may think you love a fat person dearly and still view their body as a problem to be solved. our oppression is systemic. it is not just a matter of attitude change.

in this terrifying world you continuously have the power to offer someone else a little relief . why would you withhold that. do you remember what a little relief feels like? it feels like a lot

[testing-stormneko]

excuse me? are you suggesting i frolic directly into someone's emotional space and assume what brings them relief, potentially causing more stress? are you encouraging people to reach past their own boundaries to help, increasing net suffering if it costs more than the other gains? surely not; that would be advocating for emotional self-harm.

this is a post about the woman who waived my late fee at the bank .

[testing-stormneko]

good for you, good for her, the wording on the initial post feels closer to blaming people who don't reach out than celebrating those who do by a large enough margin that i feel the need to hit back

[jb-blunk]

suicidal people deserve a space to talk about their suicidal feelings without risking hospitalization/institutionalization or being accused of being manipulative or attention seeking

[genderkoolaid]

fun article to check out on this topic: "Suicidism: A new theoretical framework to conceptualize suicide from an anti-oppressive perspective" by Alexandre Baril. The section "Silence = Death" covers this exact subject (suicidal people not being able to discuss their suicidal feelings without being punished ("helped") in some way for it). He quotes suicidologist David Webb:

"In the current environment […] talking about your suicidal feelings runs the very real risk of finding yourself being judged, locked up and drugged. Suicidal people know this and […] will do their best to prevent it happening to them. We hide our feelings from others, go underground. And the deadly cycle of silence, taboo and prejudice is reinforced. […] There is a fundamental flaw at the core of contemporary thinking about suicide; which is the failure to understand suicidality as it is lived by those who experience it."

people who don’t understand why cooking bloggers have paragraphs about picking apples with their college roommate or their childhood best friend with cancer or fishing with dad after a break up or the thing their kid told them in the produce section last week or their first time growing herbs in a window box are like telling on themselves. I never got that joke. Scroll down to the recipe if you’re uninterested in delicate interconnections whatever like sometimes I don’t feel like reading it I’m on a mission but I know why its there I know why they were moved to include that with the recipe . You know. Anthony knew. We all really know I hope
