99% of "mysterious disappearances" esp of people in their 20s who start acting weird for 48 hours and then vanish are not mysterious, thats just when a lot of reality-obliterating mental illness tends to kick in and it's pretty easy to get a short circuit in your brain that makes you go family guy death pose in joshua tree national park. it's not any less tragic, it's just a documented phenomenon and not particularly predictable. its a big reason the medical advice is for people with a family history of schizophrenia to completely avoid weed and psychedelics. "people just go crazy sometimes" is a principle of human health that used to be a lot more accepted prior to the american midcentury and to a certain extent thats a healthier way to conceptualize and prepare for the risk, as opposed to the modern assertion that anyone acting weird is dangerous and broken forever.

you should have a rough outline of a plan for if any of your loved ones experiences psychosis, it really does happen a lot. UTIs can cause psychosis. taking drugs, even safe drugs, or prescription drugs, can cause psychosis. i was once prescribed a heavy regimen of vitamin D because i was deficient, but the doctor never told me to stop taking it, so i moved to california, stopped being deficient, and developed vitamin d toxicity with downstream hyperparathyroidism which triggered significant hypomania that was undetected and uncontrolled for yeeeeeeears. i just slowly got Weird and started making impulsive decisions based on slightly out-of-gamut beliefs. i drove cross country by myself to have a love affair. the love affair was real, the series of decisions leading to burning down my life in pursuit of it were based on not great brain function however. etc. you see what i mean. churchill mentioned depression being the "black dog who stalks us" (one reason for Churchgrim's multi-referential name) but theres another, stealthier dog called Insanity and it's closer to some people than others but man it sneaks up on you. every time i see one of those "guy gets weird and drives into the wilderness forever" missing persons stories i think "yeah i could totally pull that off"

"van gogh cut off his ear what a lunatic" you are 3 nights of bad sleep, getting unexpected upsetting news and taking a substance as benign as coffee at the wrong time away from doing the same hope this helps

I do want to note that the whole "women are allowed to dress masculine and wear trousers" thing needs to be viewed in its historical context:

People fought for generations to be allowed to dress that way. They fought hard to be allowed to wear pants. Blue jeans were a symbol of feminist revolution. Women were barred from workplaces and schools for wearing them.

This is not some a natural fact that women dressing masculine is less shocking and humiliating. That normalization was fought for and hard-won.

And yet so many people erase the struggles of those people who fought to make that happen and pretend that it's just normal and natural that people don't see women "dressed like men" as ridiculous.

The Marriage of Figaro has what's called a "breeches role" which is a woman wearing men's clothes playing am ale role. This was done partly due to the vocal range requirements, but in many cases it was done comedically. It was risque and sexualized or comic relief that a woman was dressed as a man.

Anti-suffragette posters mock women wearing pants - well they were bloomers and split skirts back then - and mocking more masculine cut styles of clothes. This was meant to portray this as ridiculous.

They mocked the "new woman" in Weimar Germany, lamenting that they were too masculine.

This is a political cartoon from the 1920s depicting a woman in masculine dress deciding which bathroom to use:

Sorry but you're erasing these struggles and flattening history when you say this shit.

Women were killed and institutionalized in the struggle to make this happen. It really fucking bothers me the way it's framed as "people just don't find it as weird when women dress masculine."

Yes they fucking did. Until women and transmasculine people fought for their right to wear what they want. It's normalized because people struggled to normalize it.

And it's not normal everywhere. There are many countries where it's still illegal for women to wear pants. Afghanistan, for example.

Even in the US, it's forbidden and considered ridiculous in groups like the FLDS, the Amish, and the Hutterites.

We are flattening and erasing the struggles of women when we say these things. I know we're trying to build theory here but you can't build solid theory on a foundation of lies.

Woke up at 1:40 Am. Thought about the carpathia. Decided to write a poem. Have an exam tomorrow, but it'll be worth it

Thus,

The carpathia-

The boilers creaked and groaned

Wailing on and on, a screech, a scream, a banshee in the night

Survivors could hear how terribly she moaned

A screech, a scream and banshee in the night.

Hit with a terrible fright.

A screech, a scream, a banshee in the night

Sounds that were thought to be hallucinations, spun by their minds in this terrible night.

A scream, a screech, a banshee in the night

By captains orders and mans might

She sailed like no other, pitted against the waves and her own steel in a desperate fight

A screech, a scream, a banshee in the night

She couldn't falter, not now when people needed her

A screech, a scream, a banshee in the night.

Every second spent still was one less man in her care

A screech, a scream, a banshee in the night

And by captains orders and mans might

A screech a scream a banshee in the night

Boilers glowing red illuminating a terrible sight.

A screech, a scream, a banshee in the night

She found herself before a corpse

gave all she had without remorse

Her boilers hissed, years off her life

She was there, that fateful night

No more screech, no more scream

That banshee was alright

that fateful night.

thinking about how the carapathia never was able to reach its top speed again after saving the titanic because they pushed their limits getting there…🥀🥀

[bigshipfanatic]

The Titanic and her story get plenty of attention most days, but let us take a moment to again appreciate the ship that rescued her survivors, endangering itself in the process to do so: the RMS Carpathia. Upon hearing of the Titanic’s inevitable fate, captain Arthur Rostron of the Carpathia acted quickly and ordered the ship to hurry to the aid of the survivors. Within 2 hours the captain had ordered the lounge to be converted into a ready hospital, and had doctors of various nationalities ready to help the survivors. Rostron also ordered all available steam to be directed to the boilers, sacrificing many amenities onboard to give as much power to the engine as possible, even pushing the engines to their limits and damaging them in the rush. The night was just as dark and cold for the Carpathia as well, and icebergs and growlers were scattered in the water, Carpathia nearly hitting two icebergs herself on her way to Titanic. Imagine that for a moment. After rescuing the survivors, even the passengers of Carpathia did their part, many giving them space and beds in their own rooms. Carpathia’s act has not been forgotten but I wanted to take a minute to remind everyone of her heroism, and that of everyone onboard.

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.

Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!

Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.

No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.

It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.

Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.
