hello i luv ur blog <3 im in college right now and my grades are shit but i really want to get my masters in clinical psych & i was wondering how feasible u think it is to even get into grad school with a low gpa ?

Hi friend, thanks for the kind words. Thinking back on it, I don’t recall if my graduate program had a minimum gpa one had to have to gain entry in the program. Although we did have a minimum gpa we had to maintain once in the program in order to stay in the program. If I had any advice when it comes to academics, perhaps changing your course of study for your bachelors. My graduate cohort had people who had studied all sorts of different things for their bachelors degree. You just have to have a bachelors degree to get into the masters program, it doesn’t matter what it’s in, so perhaps you could find something easier to do. Otherwise, I would suggest seeing if there’s a mental health club on campus or maybe getting a job in a related field like being an inpatient mental health tech at a hospital. Because graduate programs require an interview portion in order to gain entry and this gives you an opportunity to kind of sell yourself so to speak. Having experience in a related field is something you could draw on if maybe the academic side isn’t so strong. And honestly most of being a good counselor comes down to your way of being, how you can hold space for someone, and the rapport you build with people to make them feel safe, seen, and heard. That’s not something that’s determined by how well you did in college. So if it’s something you’re determined to do, I think it’s definitely possible with some hard work. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

Staying neutral until Neil Gaiman is convicted by the courts?

Second attempt to express my thoughts on the matter. The first time, my wording was not the best and it needed to be fact checked so here there is a summarized attempt. Thank you to everyone who pointed it out.

Using "neutrality" to remain sceptical to the allegations is not as good as an idea as it seems.

Many have shown scepticism because of the medium, The Tortoise podcast, used to publish most of the accusations. I've found many don't know there's a second podcast that published one of the women's allegations: Am I Broken: Survivor Stories Podcast. A podcast made by a non-binary licensed clinical mental health counselor specializing in sexual trauma. The link for the podcast is here and the link for the transcript here. [Credits for the transcript to Ersatz Haderach].

Personally, I think you shouldn't discard the allegations just for the medium chosen, they're still valid. But, there’s a second podcast and Claire's allegations there help to amplify the other victims's voices. If you haven't read or listened to any of the allegations, that could be a good start.

Ignoring that information and testimonies exist is far from being neutral. Learn about the allegations before choosing "neutrality".

It's important to notice that in cases like the ones exposed by the women's allegations against Gaiman, "Neutrality" is already biased in favor of the accused.

Waiting for a formal sentence for Gaiman to start believing in the victims is choosing to blindly trust a corrupt system. It also sounds like if you weren't conscious enough of the many problems that rape victims face in the justice system.

I've found an interesting report on the matter with information about how justice fails victims . Here are some important points:

Why the legal justice fails rape survivors?

According to a report made by Centre for Women’s Justice, the End Violence Against Women Coalition, Imkaan and Rape Crisis England & Wales.(2020):

Obstacles to conviction

- "In the vast majority of (adult) rape cases, the defendant will accept that sexual intercourse took place, and it is only the element of ‘consent’ that is in dispute, or – put another way – whether a reasonable person would characterise what happened as consensual or non-consensual."

"Given the sexual nature of the offence, it will often take place in private, the complainant and defendant (or defendants) being the only persons present."

"There are very rarely any eye-witnesses to the offence itself, able to corroborate either the complainant or the defendant’s account as to what has unfolded. Indeed, there will more often be no independent evidence at all which corroborates the complainant’s account as to the circumstances of the sexual encounter. At best, there may be circumstantial evidence which supports what the complainant is saying: evidence which, for example, provides a picture of the complainant’s physical or mental state before and/or after the attack; or there may be evidence which is broadly supportive of her credibility, or undermines the suspect’s credibility."

- Even in ‘better’ periods, rape cases have always posed very significant challenges for prosecutors. While volumes of convictions have fluctuated over the years, the rate of convictions for rape has invariably been lower than in most other areas of crime."

-“it has been widely accepted by criminal justice bodies that many members of the public continue to believe in long-standing ‘myths and stereotypes’ relating to rape, which do not correspond with reality, result in disbelief of victims/survivors, and are now outdated in the eyes of the law.”

- “When a victim/survivor’s credibility is considered so fundamental to winning a rape or serious sexual offences trial, those who do not fit the ‘mould’ of a credible victim – because of their age, their outward presentation, their social skills, a disadvantaged background, or a learning mental health disability – are the least likely to see justice served.”

- “Whenever the profile of rape victims/survivors and their poor treatment by the criminal justice system begins to receive the attention it deserves, there comes a backlash and a rise in public concern regarding the fate of the ‘falsely’ accused.”

I recommend reading the whole report for further information.

Don't choose "neutrality" as an excuse to hide your bias, listen to the victims. There is a lot of information out there. Many patterns are repeated among victims who, before the allegations were made public, thought they were the only person who experienced the same thing, with Gaiman as the common denominator.

If you want to add something, feel free to do it.

god i just remember someone getting heated at me on anon for complaining about anthony's interview with dan including a betterhelp sponsorship like. "oh buh buh just skip the ad and stop complaining" even tho I LITERALLY GAVE AN EXAMPLE of danny gonzalez doing a betterhelp ad, being informed by his viewers "hey! betterhelp is notoriously sucky!" AND THEN REMOVING HIS SPON FROM THE VIDEO EVEN THO IT BROKE WHATEVER CONTRACT THEY HAD like. youtubers can choose to not do ads for shitty companies! especially in the context of dan and anthony's conversation revolving around mental health, dan being very adamant about getting PROFESSIONAL help from licensed therapists and hiring a licensed psychologist to fact check his book on mental health, yeah doing a sponsorship for a company that hires completely random unlicensed counselors is kinda shitty! even if no one YOU KNOW is scrambling to betterhelp, SOMEONE did because of that video, and yes there are some licensed therapists on betterhelp but most of them are dogshit and that can literally put people who are at risk in danger. so whatever idk that videos a couple years old now so who cares i guess

They’re not fucking “jokes” Nooblord. They never fucking were “JuSt JoKeS”. You’re a terminally online, misery-addicted fascist proshipper who has an EXTREME incest/abuse kink, whose centered your entire fucking personality online around being such and evangelically defending/supporting ANOTHER far right proshipper who fucking molested her own SISTER as a goddamn child and has REFUSED to emotionally mature/grow as a person since then.

I’m not surprised that this shit apparently happens so often to you Nooblord, ravenously consuming terrible shock-value driven and disturbing fetishistic media (such as TCOA&L or other explicitly abuse apologia stories written by untalented edgelords) has often been shown to be incredibly CONSISTENT with such cruel/deranged behaviors in real life. It’s why proshippers (like you and Lily) are such a sadistically abusive, cruel, horrifically toxic bunch of people. NOBODY enjoys the hyperviolent/endlessly cruel garbage that y’all do, but instead of accepting that rather banal obvious fact about reality. Y’all spend YEARS harassing, verbally abusing, and bullying the victims of sexual abuse/incest who explain very clearly to you WHY nobody likes your fucking garbage and why you SHOULDN’T spend all of your time fetishizing abuse and shipping incestuous/other abusive parings in fiction OR supporting incestuous abuse in real life.

It’s great that you’re FINALLY stopping this horribly cruel and self-destructive bullcrap, but this was all a terrible dumpster fire that should have never been lit from the fucking beginning!! You and Lily enabling your deeply masochistic love of fascist/abusive storytelling was always WRONG shithead!!!! Your dogmatic, often abusively cruel hatred of media created by Jewish, LGBTQ+, and black artists was ALWAYS FUCKING WRONG!!!!!! Your delusionally myopic insistence that there even is a such thing as “Peak Fiction” when the best types of art are ALWAYS fucking diverse in nature and don’t SOLELY pander to any one (in this case, adrenaline addicted) terminally outraged, joyless edgelord personality cult online!!!! All of this was ALWAYS bad Nooblord, and you should have NEVER fucking started any of this awful, sadistic bullshitting in the first place!!!!

From everything you’ve ever supported or advocated for, it’s obvious to any honest person that you have an extremely poor moral character currently. But I hope that these incidents (whatever they may be) have actually finally been what you needed to realize that you need to stop obsessively consuming/stanning the most disgustingly abusive media and people that you can fucking find. Like it or not Nooblord, the things that you most enjoy and try to browbeat people into never criticizing say a LOT about you as a fucking person, and it was inevitable that your self-destructively reactionary hatred of ANY art even slightly worked on by marginalized/progressive people in a bizarre class system where only one, SINGLE type of movie/cartoons/stories in general get to “bE oN tOp”. Along with your deeply revolting love of the most sleazy, gratuitous, disturbingly abuse fetishizing media out there, would eventually have a MAJOR impact on both how other people interact with you in the real world, and your own behaviors themselves in the real world. Neither of which, evidently, have been very good experiences for you at all!!

I really, really, really fucking hope that you are able to start seeing a therapist (and a good fucking one at that!!) Noodlord, because you are so obviously self-destructive and clearly in such a DESPERATE need of one that I can’t imagine why you’ve refused to even think about going to one until NOW, when things have already gotten so fucking bad for you. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck in finally deciding to even try growing/improving as a person. And ALWAYS fucking remember that Lily Orchard is not nor has EVER fucking been a licensed therapist or counselor in any capacity whatsoever. She just loves sadistically torturing/abusing extremely vulnerable people (like Lizzy, Courtney, or Mikaila) for fucking fun. And using a (completely unfalsifiable) degree in psychology that she’s NEVER fucking spoken about until Courtney came forwards about being molested by her in order to desperately try to browbeat people into being as into incest/emotional abuse fetishizing as SHE fucking is. In order to make herself feel better about doing those sadistic actions to multiple people over the course of her life, who thought that they could actually fucking TRUST HER!!!!!!!!

Thanks to a three separate incidents over the last month-and-a-half, I am making the executive decision to attempt to put the "Peak Fiction" jokes and TCoA&L references, and thus potentially this blog, on an indefinite hiatus.
