i get annoyed with people saying “you’re not you when you’re psychotic” like i understand not being in your “right mind”, but my ability to be myself doesn’t change just because my ability to reality check is diminished. it’s the natural state of my brain; i feel less myself when i’m super sedated on medication. do i want to be in psychosis? absolutely not. but do i want to be told that my sense of self is inherently wrong? also no. i know the sentiment of “if you can’t handle me at my worst you can’t handle me at all” isn’t the best, but seriously, if you stop seeing me as me when i’m psychotic and see me as a problem to be fixed, i don’t want you in my life

if, when i was less online, or rather online in non-english speaking communities, you would've mentioned a fringe ideology whose adherents believe that overpopulation is real and must be stopped (with all the racist preconceptions this implies), that mandatory vaccination is too oppressive, that the way to deal with societal problems is through individual direct action and that those most prepared should thrive, that we live in a time of degeneracy and must dismantle society to return to an idyllic state of pastoral communion with nature, i would've assume you were talking to me about capital f Fascists, you know, not about leftists, much less anarchists. but no, apparently anti-civs count as leftists and anarchists. i was very surprised because i never encountered one of those in my country, nor any of its neighbouring countries, not in any of their neighbouring countries. but then again, i'm south american and i didn't move around fascist circles and i never ascribed to reddit ideologies

Devo dedicating multiple songs to assassinating a sitting US president is more hardcore punk than anything done by 97% of hardcore punk bands.

"Our society has mainly lost sight of Sophia and attempted to split her into various manageable parcels. Frequently reduced to God’s secretary who nevertheless still supplies all the efficiency of the divine office, she is from all time, the treasury of creation, the mistress of compassion."

- Caitlin Matthews (Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom.)

Something to remember for all the New Age Christians reducing Sophia to one third of the Trinity or simply as "the Holy Bride".

"Therapy speak" is so stupid it's almost funny if it wasn't actually harmful

Gaslighting the way it's used online isn't true to what it actually means in a clinical context. Narcissists aren't as common as social media makes you believe they are. People can be not good for you and/or assholes without being close to what a narcissist personality disorder actually means.

A boundary is "if you aren't ready on time, I will leave without you", not "you can't ever bring up anything I did that you didn't like or else I will call you toxic".

Saying something like "I appreciated our season of friendship" is not a natural way to talk for most people, and it shouldn't be implied that this is A Healthy Way to talk to someone else. Human relationships aren't a letter from HR. A good therapist will help you find your own words to express your feelings and thoughts and wants.

TL/DR: "Therapy speak" doesn't necessarily mean the phrases and expressions are used correctly or even used at all in clinical settings

the gimmick blogs are like tumblr’s rogue gallery. yes we’ve got some heroes, yes we’ve got some villains, but more importantly if you look over here you will see some freak who devotes all their time to counting the number of “t’s” in a post
