one time, i had to meet a solicitor to sign some papers. we called ahead, explained about the wheelchair. they said not to worry, the building was accessible. we got there and it had two sets of stairs going up to the lift. the lift was too small for the chair. i had to sign in the street.

"I only watch Star Trek for the space battles" is a bizarre take given that most of the space battles in Star Trek are: *camera shakes* "Sir, shields down to 87%!" *camera shakes* "Shields down to 76%!" *camera shakes* "Shields down to 54%!" *camera shakes* "Sir, shields down to --"

post two characters that bring you happiness.

Lady Beatrice and Sir Benedick (played by Catherine Tate and David Tennant) from the 2011 production of Much Ado about Nothing by William Shakespeare. Beatrice is dressed in denim dungarees and an off-shoulder, short-sleeved peasant blouse, and sunglasses. She's drinking a bottled beer and looking cocky. Benedick is dressed in a white captain's outfit and sunglasses, holding a beer can and pointing toward Beatrice. He appears to be speaking.

I think what makes Lithgows position worse, is he is actively pointing how bad she is and said he almost didn't go forward with the role because of it. Which kinda makes him worse, cause he considered the right thing and decided not to do it.

hi, hank. i'm a mentally ill person who has to watch people call trump's most despicable acts "psychosis" every day. the rest are people talking loudly about "ai psychosis", which is not a recognised clinical diagnosis. it's upsetting to watch you make a fun verb out of a debilitating illness.

if anyone wants to know what real intrusive thoughts are like, here's an excerpt from "turtles all the way down" by john green. i have ocd (and so does john green) and this book has the best descriptions of the condition that i've ever read. it's a beautiful book, both easy and difficult to read.

I have these thoughts that Dr. Karen Singh calls “intrusives,” but the first time she said it, I heard “invasives,” which I like better, because, like invasive weeds, these thoughts seem to arrive at my biosphere from some faraway land, and then they spread out of control.

Supposedly everyone has them—you look out from over a bridge or whatever and it occurs to you out of nowhere that you could just jump. And then if you’re most people, you think, Well, that was a weird thought, and move on with your life. But for some people, the invasive can kind of take over, crowding out all the other thoughts until it’s the only one you’re able to have, the thought you’re perpetually either thinking or distracting yourself from.

You’re watching TV with your mom—this show about time-traveling crime solvers—and you remember a boy holding your hand, looking at your finger, and then a thought occurs to you: You should unwrap that Band-Aid and check to see if there is an infection.

You don’t actually want to do this; it’s just an invasive. Everyone has them. But you can’t shut yours up. Since you’ve had a reasonable amount of cognitive behavioral therapy, you tell yourself, I am not my thoughts, even though deep down you’re not sure what exactly that

makes you. Then you tell yourself to click a little x in the top corner of the thought to make it go away. And maybe it does for a moment; you’re back in your house, on the couch, next to your mom, and then your brain says, Well, but wait. What if your finger is infected? Why not just check? The cafeteria wasn’t exactly the most sanitary place to reopen that wound. And then you were in the river.

Now you’re nervous, because you’ve previously attended this exact rodeo on thousands of occasions, and also because you want to choose the thoughts that are called yours. The river was filthy, after all. Had you gotten some river water on your hand? It wouldn’t take much. Time to unwrap the Band-Aid. You tell yourself that you were careful not to touch the water, but your self replies, But what if you touched something that touched the water, and then you tell yourself that this wound is almost certainly not infected, but the distance you’ve created with the almost gets filled by the thought, You need to check for infection; just check it so we can calm down, and then fine, okay, you excuse yourself to the bathroom and slip off the Band-Aid to discover that there isn’t blood, but there might be a bit of moisture on the bandage pad. You hold the Band-Aid up to the yellow light in the bathroom, and yes, that definitely looks like moisture.

Could be sweat, of course, but also might be water from the river, or worse still seropurulent drainage, a sure sign of infection, so you find the hand sanitizer in the medicine cabinet and squeeze some onto your fingertip, which burns like hell, and then you wash your hands thoroughly, singing your ABCs while you do to make sure you’ve scrubbed for the full twenty seconds recommended by the Centers for Disease Control, and then you carefully dry your hands with a towel. And then you dig your thumbnail all the way into the crack in the callus until it starts bleeding, and you squeeze the blood out for as long as it comes, and then you blot the wound dry with a tissue. You take a Band-Aid from inside your jeans pocket, where there is never a shortage of them, and you carefully reapply the bandage. You return to the couch to watch TV, and for a few or many minutes, you feel the shivering jolt of the tension easing, the relief of giving in to the lesser angels of your nature.

And then two or five or six hundred minutes pass before you start to wonder, Wait, did I get all the pus out? Was there pus even or was that only sweat? If it was pus, you might need to drain the wound again. The spiral tightens, like that, forever.

hi. i'm a person who has experienced psychosis, and no, no, it isn't "total psychosis type shit". you're welcome to watch him in horror and disbelief and you're welcome to call out his lies and his self-delusions, but they're not psychosis. this kind of rhetoric hurts people like me. please stop.

I'm sure psychologists can expand on this, but its really fascinating/horrifying to watch Trump just ratchet up the disconnected from reality, fantasy world rhetoric as things continue to not go his way. We're now at "Iran wiped off the map" & "the death of Iran." Just total psychosis type shit.

There's an uptick in people using psychosis to describe violence. Psychotic people actually do not commit violence at any higher rates than anyone else, but what they are is far more likely to be victims of violence. Don't liken the most powerful to the most vulnerable.

Get it right. Mad people are a slim portion of the population with distinct natures from the norm. White supremacy is society's norm held by the masses. The masses are not insane. They're the standard against whom the insane are judged. Deal with this poisoned ideology, it's not a medical condition.

A major failing of restorative justice when it's taken out of its original context (which is as an alternative to carceral systems) is that abusers often have way more energy to spend on staying in communities that enable them than victims have for staying in communities where they're not safe.
