I feel like ODD being an official disorder in the DSM should be the thing that makes everyone go “hm” about how psychology is practiced

What Strength Really Means 💪

✅️ Vetted by @gazavetters {537} ✅️

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️

Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

With all my love and gratitude,

Mosab and Family ❤️

(I don't mean to jump down your throat or anything here, I just find the difference in epistemiologies to be philosophically interesting.)

I don’t try to meditate anymore because once I realized that it can’t actually turn me into a water bender my brain stopped letting me do it.

Slightly off topic but qi is definitely real...

Traditional Chinese medical theory can successfully integrate and explain western medical practices. Western medical theory cannot successfully integrate and/or explain traditional Chinese medical practices without referencing traditional Chinese medical theory. This suggests western science has a blind spot.

And oh goodness yes it does. Even when considering the psyche, western medical science is always told from the perspective of an outside observer, not from the perspective of the embodied subject.

Here's the deal: Traditional Chinese medicine validates subjective experiences as real. Selenite is a substance that feels cold, so it can be used to treat hot pains. It treats conditions like chronic burnout as systemic depletion and overheating. During treatments, I can feel qi moving in my body as assuredly as I can feel a TENS unit hooked up to me. That perceived bubbling flow is my qi. Working with it definitely causes healing, and traditional Chinese doctors aren't waiting on rigid western epistemologies to validate what they already know to be knowledge through millennia of study of the subjectively embodied being.

Since there's Severance discourse on my dash:

I was disappointed in the last episode, and no, it's not because I missed my blorbos or wanted more kissing or whatever strawman people are coming up with now.

I found it a shallow, flanderized exploration of Cobel and her trauma with notably weaker writing than the rest of the show. (Her not-boyfriend said a quirky oneliner, alone, into the snow - that's not what I'm here for.)

I wanted the episode to dig deeper.

Show us the small town gossip and paranoia.

Build up the Twilight Zone vibes from the initial diner scene.

Give us some beautiful long shots of urban decay.

Let us taste how Lumon has abandoned this place.

Let us see how Lumon dispirited and aggrieved the people here.

I wanted human-sounding dialogue for the new characters instead of quips and plot-relevant omens. I wanted more from the new characters beyond "not-boyfriend" and "cult abuser".

I especially didn't like Cobel needing to be rescued from crying (and almost getting caught because she took a depression nap). We've already seen Cobel deep in the throes of unbalanced tempers. We've seen her preparing to go to this location, acting like a survivor all the while.

I don't find Cobel being so consumed by woe once she gets there that she needs to be saved by a man to be a believable place to take her character. Even if I could believe it? I don't like this as character development for her.

I love Severance. It's my favorite live action show in years. That doesn't mean every episode is going to be an automatic 10/10 for me.

I thought this episode was a 5/10. It was a disappointingly average and formulaic episode of "modern prestige television" in an otherwise spectacular show.

On top of being an awkward structural decision for the pacing of the season as a whole (we JUST had a clip show—and even if it was one of the best clip shows I have ever seen on television, another backstory episode is pushing it), it honestly felt like a Marvel short at multiple points, and from me, that's not a compliment.

If the episode was a 10/10 for you, that's fine, but I'm pretty upset to see some fans acting like the only reason you could dislike the episode is because you don't appreciate the deeper themes of Severance / aren't a real Severance fan / don't get it.
