man the crazy thing about babies is that like, some people would think that reading a baby a book about farm animals is teaching them about farm animals, but really it’s teaching them about the concept of a book and how there’s new information on each page of a single object, but really, beyond that, it’s teaching them how language works, and beyond that it’s really actually teaching them about human interaction, and really really it’s them learning about existing in a three-dimensional space and how they can navigate that space, but actually, above all it is teaching them that mama loves them.

Everybody driving a car thinks they're the main character of the car. This is an ideologically bourgeois attitude. You know who doesn't ever feel like the main character of the vehicle they're in? Literally everyone on the bus. You're on the fucking bus. And the bus driver doesn't feel like the main character of the bus because she's at fucking work. The bus is the most ideologically proletarian form of transport.

it is so incredibly unfair that inpatient psychiatrists are given the legitimacy to make sweeping judgements about our madness, twisting and shaping and classifying it into the schema that reassures their worldview when they have only ever seen us in conditions of confinement. if i am locked up, put in restraints, drugged against my will, kept from seeing the outside world for sometimes weeks at a time—my madness will respond incredibly differently to the hostile conditions of a total institution. How in the world can psychiatrists extend their analysis to make judgements about my illness/wellness/way of being in the world/way of being in my head? they have only ever seen the way I am Mad when i am surviving confinement. they have no idea what I look like when i am free.

of course i will start pacing for hours when I am locked up with nowhere to go. of course i will start screaming, and tear apart my room, and hurt myself when i am given no other options for exercising autonomy. of course i will become paranoid and start hearing things when I am under 24/7 surveillance, 15 minute checks, and cameras in every room. but every action i take is then used as evidence to fit me into a system of symptoms and diagnosis that are further used to justify my continued incarceration—it becomes an inescapable labyrinth, it becomes an irremovable cycle. every attempt to argue against their flawed interpretations just ends up as another bullet point on my medical record: "Patient lacks insight."

psychiatrists treat themselves as inherently and perfectly neutral—seeing themself not as an actor who is actively engaging and contributing to our experiences but as a removable spectator who can somehow cordon themselves off from madness (lest they catch it from us—don't you know madness is contagious?) the first confinement of psychiatry is the kind of confinement the psychiatrist does to themself: locking their emotions/perceptions/opinions behind the guise of scientific, objective neutrality. there is no psychiatry without confinement: they are bedfellows who rely on each other from the very conception of the field.

i could make a satirical joke about diagnosing psychiatrists with "Thinks They Can Be Neutral While Ignoring Their Material Conditions" disorder, but i don't want to reify their system of classifications even a little bit. What I want is to destroy the entire fucking system. it drives me crazy to watch this dynamic play out again and again and again with no recognition that putting people in conditions of confinement drastically shapes the way that we can then exist in that space.

it makes me sick—it makes me MAD.

borders between countries aren't real btw we just made them up. there's no such thing as an "immigrant" we're all just people moving around on the same planet that we've always moved around on

Surprise! Tumblr just got turned into an epic fantasy RPG, just like [your favorite appropriate media franchise]. And the Tumblr RPG's plot needs to have all of its characters covered, in roles both large and small.

That means that you are assigned to a stereotypical RPG role inside our new fantasy world. Spin this wheel to find out what you are now doing for a living.

kinda funny tbh

Ojalá, the ceasefire will begin on Sunday. It is past due and has taken great sacrifice to get here. It's important to know that this ceasefire is not the end goal of standing with Palestine, and it won't be over until Palestine is fully liberated and no longer under an apartheid, genocidal colonial regime.

It's important to stay in solidarity with the Palestinian people, and one of the ways you can do this is by donating directly to them so that they have something to help rebuild their lives with.

One of the people that you can donate to show solidarity with is Sama Mohammed. She's been widowed by this genocide and has been providing for and protecting her 2 young children throughout this. She wants to be able to start a new life that is one that they deserve, and be able to start to put this immense trauma and loss behind them.

Last donation was 3 days ago

i want to reiterate i don't think israeli hostages have had the time of their lives and i don't think this ordeal was fun or easy for them but looking at how israeli hostages have been released by hamas and how palestinian hostages have been released by israel is a really dark-sided reality check on just how low the standards for israel have been to meet a basic threshold for humanity and yet it still failed

[souphatersdni]

the ceasefire has come as a welcome relief to the millions in Gaza who've suffered the absolute worst that humanity has to offer for 15 months. but for many, it's a complicated joy where many can feel their grief for the first time in full, for everything they've lost and experienced. but at the same time, many of the conditions that made life basically unlivable for the last 15 months remain: lack of food, clean water, shelter, spread of infectious disease, exposure to elements & the destroyed environment that poses a health risk. & its still not even a certainty the ceasefire will hold (not that that's stopped the IOF from killing in the south)

all of this has led to the gibril family (@nader1990) coming to the once unthinkable decision of evacuating (at least for the time being). with 3 kids (all under 10), nader & his wife believe the best way forward is for their kids to get the supports they need to recover, is to leave Gaza. please help them out 🙏

I don’t normally ask for this, but it’s urgent.

This post is on behalf of Ibrahim @wolf-aid, who has a large following that can help get this out.

This campaign has been verified! (#25 on the list) and the photos above confirm the legitimacy of this GoFundMe campaign.

Ibrahim is 15 years old and his family is facing extremely difficult circumstances in Gaza. Food is scarce, prices are high, and there is a lack of water. Ibrahim, like many others suffering during this war, has already been forced to move several times, and their home has been destroyed.

Ibrahim just lost his best friend to the evil Israeli occupiers. Any amount of money can help Ibrahim and his family escape this devastation.

They don't ask for much, just €10 would be enough!

Currently, this campaign has raised (at the time of writing this post) €50,000 out of €80,000.

I know that many of my followers can afford to donate even a small amount. The process is not complicated, so I hope you will take a moment out of your day to support.

hazem @albardawillhazem95 is a 29 year old man from gaza, and he has had everything taken from him by the israeli occupation. his pregnant wife shayma'a and two young children jad and emad were killed when their home was bombed in october last year.

now hazem is living in flimsy shelter that does not protect him from the elements, struggling to provide himself with even basic necessities. he is suffering immensely. please, please consider donating to him to help him survive in the face of this devastation.
