Haven't been following the James Somerton drama closely but it's become so ridiculous that it's funny

Is no one going to talk about the fact that he said that he thought it was okay for him to mention Vito Russo in the opening credits and then never mention him again because his book was out of print and Russo was dead....

And then in the same breath say that he was 'extending Russo's legacy' like my brother in Christ do you even hear yourself-

Telling people that they don't have a disorder that is highly mis-characterized and largely misunderstood because they don't present as the dude from Split is wildddddddd

Why do so many psychiatrists love to gaslight. Okay, Hannibal Lecture.

If I had a nickel for every time a psychiatrist straight up told me lies I would have too fucking many and that's a problem.

The motherfucker who decided that the new building at my school desperately needed a hundred foot tall, enormously bright, constantly blinking and flashing LED screen inside the building in a place where unless you are on the third floor you literally cannot avoid seeing it (in the form of reflections if you're lucky, with your eyes if you are not) should be, and I mean this, fucking shot

[infinitystation]

Realized last night that my epilepsy that seemed to onset last October has actually been happening my entire life, my family just thought it was really bad night terrors or sleep walking. And as a teenager I thought I just got stuck sometimes and also that I was being haunted by 3 ghosts and that two of them wanted to kill me. reframing_my_entire_life.exe ×͜×

Details: Diamond

All of Diamond’s seizures start as focal seizures, and they rarely progress to bilateral tonic clonic seizures; that usually only happens if he’s unmedicated or has severely overtaxed his telepathy or magic. (Or if there’s other nonsense going on, be it injury or magic.)

His epilepsy has some magic/scifi aspects, but is more or less based on temporal lobe epilepsy. This page has a fairly quick overview and a good video!

i love my classical studies teacher... bro bought chainmail armour for no reason, let us hold it to see how heavy it is, put it on, and then got stuck in it and had to leave the class to get another teacher to help him take it off 😭

I’m so mad I just watched the first episode of Hornblower. Only now! After finishing my dissertation! When my dissertation topic was literally the portrayal of epilepsy in film and television

[laxsland]

Reblogging again because this is VITALLY important!

Just in case

[srirachaz]

one of my favorite stupid things about the shitty c-list cdramas i watch (and tbh it shows up in some of the nicer quality ones too) is when a character has some kind of incurable terminal disease that modern medicine is failing can be easily remedied with...

needles. like acupunture.

i think it's bc authors know jack and shit about medicine and can't be bothered/aren't paid enough by webnovel sites or drama producers to research specific illnesses and their treatments but it takes me out every time.

it makes sense in like...wuxia or xianxia, but when it's a modern drama it fuckin kills me. bonus points if the "modern" doctors are listening to wrist heartbeats to diagnose things like literal cancer or if there are magic chinese medicine pills that are complete cure-alls, OR if the "modern doctors" are surgeons (of all specialities, obviously) as well as general practitioners as well as specialists as well magically being renowned experts in chinese medicine and/or are like...nationally known but anonymous Secret Doctors or Magic Doctors or what-have-you.
