i really think mandatory psych holds should either be eliminated or dialed back to only apply to people who have either already done something or who have said flat-out, "i WILL do [dangerous and violent thing]", not just "i've thought about [dangerous and violent thing]". I mean i'm pretty firmly of the opinion that psych hospitals in general are intended to serve as punitive facilities against people who fail to hide their symptoms and have zero actual intent of helping the people committed to them outside of teaching them "if you cant get your shit together, you'll have to come back here" but let's pretend they're actually supposed to help. all mandatory holds do is make people afraid to speak genuinely with mental health professionals, which eliminates the whole purpose of the process for anyone who needs more in-depth help than like. the kind of one-sentence platitudes you see in image macros on facebook. talking to therapists feels like talking to a cop. and most of them obly have two-year degrees and certificates that mostly focus on the legality of confientiality and stuff that has nothing to do with actually helping people. talk therapy without at least a surface level understanding of neurology is less than worthless. and then the people who actually are taught neurology, psychiatrists, are too important to actually provide any more in-depth care than writing a script. it sucks!!!

"hurts because i need to move more" and "hurts because i need to not move it at all" should really be different sensations. i should be able to troubleshoot my own body without just picking one and seeing if that makes it worse.
#i have sciatica and a hernia i absolutely do not need to do yoga#sonetimes stretching might help my back after a strain but then the curse rises anew (guts splurt out)(leggy hurt

it’s actually wild how terrified of the general public most usamericans are. like you don’t realize it if you’re someone who mostly walks and takes transit and spends a lot of time in populous public spaces but then you talk to one of the thousands of people that seemingly never set foot in any public space besides a parking garage or a starbucks and you suddenly understand why it’s so easy for fascist rhetoric about the dangerous alien to take root. this country’s median voter pretty much never interacts with strangers who aren’t their coworkers or people they met on dating apps
#honestly even the neerdowells and ruffians dont care about YOU#like yeah theres a naked guy in a fistfight with a gas pump. dont make eye contact and he wont bother you.#the sort of person these very paranoid people are afraid of arent randomly launching themselves at quiet passersby. passerbys?#they want to fight their brother in law or an equally pissed off rando who told them to shut the fuck up#and in my personal experience the most downbad bloody-eyed drug addicts are too sick and humbled to be a problem to anyone#like ive bought food for tons of these people and all they ask for is a pop and a candy bar#id buy them booze or a pack of cigarettes if they asked but its always just yummy junk food#i toss in some cash when our fundage is secure. maybe theyll use it to buy the hit that keeps the withdrawal from killing them. idk.#i guess my point is that even the quote unquote dangerous people are almost never dangerous to you#teenagers in groups of four or more should always be avoided though#source: ive been a teenager in a group and i utterly lost the ability to fear

one time in like 2012 we had to do our one interesting fact at the start of a college class and this one girl's fun fact was that she was "fine with gay people"

the phrase “gooner behavior” needs to be obliterated from human speech. the fact that so many folks let anti-porn and anti-sex work dipshits get into their ears to the point that choosing simply to publicly exist in proximity of any expression of outward sexuality is treated as toxically immoral behavior is… frankly fucking sad. the people that want a chaste internet don’t have to socially police us anymore because they tricked you into doing it.
#i think a lot of people might not want me to but i consider myself a sex worker as someone who sells pornographic art commissions#also nudes when i gotta but i dont really like it. i mean i like it more than most jobs ive had.#people who commission me to draw stuff for them to masturbate to are pretty much always respectful and appreciative#i hope because they respect my skills and just cuz theyre nice but also because they know if theyre dicks i'll just block them#versus people ive worked with in a client care capacity where theyre fully aware they can say or do anything they want to me#and still get what they want#i think its worth noting that commissioners and i exchange full legal names via paypal#and never once has anyone used that info to be weird#i guess i dont really have any overarching point.#most sex workers and most people who patronize sex workers are very normal. because its a very normal thing.#i also really enjoy masturbating to pornography for the record#and um idk if this is super obvious but gooner originally referred to a specific...lifestyle? hobby? where people would just be edging 24/7#which i guess my only concern would be that its not healthy for anyone to have only one source of happiness and fulfillment.#like maybe edge 14 hours a day and also make some time to call your grandma or do some crossword puzzles#but im not your mom

being a teenage girl between 2010 and 2015 must have been the shit. lana del rey dropped born to tie and ultraviolence. the arctic monkeys dropped am. justin bieber. one direction. u had tumblr and weheartit. u post a black and white pic of a cigarette and u get like 20k notes. pretty little liars, vampire diaries and glee were all on tv. twilight was still really popular. all around it must have been fun
#i was really into grimdark mlp aus and thelivingtombstone#i heard about justin beaver from some girls in my psych ward and thought they were fucking with me#the board where you could write inspirational quotes in my creative writing class was removed#for hosting analog flame wars between the pro- and anti-twilight girlies#my wife and i holed up in my basement and streamed horror movies and played skyrom and listened to the radio#i really liked call me maybe. its cute!#'sjw' was the sickest burn imaginable#i dvr'd every ep of dr. phil. thats not very era specific but thats what i liked to watch at the time.#platinum and soulsilver were incredible but bw just didnt do it for me idk why#nightcore was actually nightcore and not just chipmunks#kesha roamed the streets biting dicks off and we just let her#it was the only period of time ive lived through where people liked the president#misogyny was really gaining traction in leftist spaces#/co/ was good
