if I had a time machine the very first place I’d go is my local library circa 2007 so I can write down the names of all the books I’ve forgotten

True olfactory ethics has never been tried. It would involve a big pan in the town square to be constantly caramelising onions and letting the aroma waft as it pleases

i think when people talk about dsm diagnoses being 'destigmatised' it's usually the case that what they mean is the public perception of the diagnosis name (depression, anxiety, etc) has become associated with minor, temporary, or resolvable forms of distress. the experience of being so depressed you cannot get out of bed, or brush your teeth, or work -- that experience and those behaviours have never been 'destigmatised,' only associated with other diagnostic labels in certain discourses seeking to present 'depression' as treatable or minor. it's basically a semantic nosological shift, rather than any actual 'destigmatisation' of the behaviours psychiatry exists to pathologise -- widening (minimising) the diagnosis, then just moving any leftover 'scary' symptoms to a different diagnostic bucket. it's a rhetorical shell game that does not challenge, but exists symbiotically with, the ableism that causes behaviours like "not being able to get out of bed" to be stigmatised in the first place.

i can't stand patronizing translations that replace idioms in the original language with idioms in the target language. when you do that you're not bringing me closer to the work, you're bringing the work closer to me. it's uncosmopolitan

If you translate the idiom more "literally" and explain it in a footnote, you'll show me much more about the culture of the people where the work was written, which was, y'know, part of the purpose of this whole endeavor to begin with?
